Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The case in a nutshell:
DEA agent running behind to surveil a fentanyl dealer speeds and runs through stop signs to try to catch up with his team. Runs over cyclist while running through stop sign.
Defense team argues that there's urgency based on what the agent knew at the time. Case was moved to federal court specifically to grant immunity against state prosecution.
So, by this logic, the cops that shot the airman in his bed should be tried by a court-martial.
No no. Qualified immunity, my little plebian.
