is it kind of odd that melenchon is like the only EU politician to take video games seriously or is there some lore here I'm missing

Worst chancelor Germany has had since 1945.
I still actually blame merkel for this on account of pretending it's like 1998 for 16 years or so lead directly to this bozo
a kind of footstool the CDU government is propped up upon.
wdym kind of. their last vestige of being the workers party was "a worker is somebody who assembles cars on a factory line for 4000 eurdollars a month because that's what the country runs on" and now they're abandoning even that, again, in the last 20 years. The SPD is functionally the CDU except you live somewhere that used to have factories
The two rarely had takeaways and always took packed lunches to work. "We were £40,000 better off over 10 years from just that one lunch habit," says Alan.
Just shy of 9 quid for a bought work lunch seems kind of high in the country of the meal deal. Yeah don't eat takeaway / corporate slop bowl every lunch really is hard hitting financial advice I'm sure most people could follow
never heard of this before, you should do a post about it, the initial reading seems sick as fuck
Pictured here is a Musketier Radkutsche because it's one you could buy as a consumer, everything else with this config or similar - i.e. space in the back - is mostly those last mile logistic cycles and you can only really get them on a B2B contract.
This here fits an euro pallette in the back and has about ~200kg give or take maximum cargo load given a rider on the heavier side. pricepoint is ~6000€ upwards on account of they hand make this in the south of germany because seemingly nobody wants to do a factory for cargo bikes.
Over the similar in idea longtail cargo bikes that are loads more common this has the upside of giving you a flat, stable base to work from so you can throw on a big box or a café or whatever, like this:

It's a municipally owned company so not that much care for this quarters profit on that front, just at least 30 years of going "well sure climate change is real but surely not now" when they contract out the track building
I know I know but in my heart I still think: Surely something of this much size and importance has at least a facade you gotta get past and doesn't run, explicitly stated, on the idea that a wizard will do it
This is meant as no discredit to his work but a surprising lot of his research is just being like the only guy who actually reads the "gajillion dollar investment into AI" stuff on a contract level to find out it's "we're going to build 8000 datacenters that'd use up more electricity in a month than has ever been produced"
So this is going to end up with them using lots of public transport budget to build the dedicated high speed bus freeways, the idea immediatly falters for reasons obvious to anyone that hasn't been kicked in the head by a horse and then ah well, since we have the dedicated bus highway network but no busses might aswell open it to cars
did you know your run of the mill internal gear hub is only spec'd to 50nm? Gotta buy like a fucking Rohloff to get that up to 130nm. ride derailleurs if you want that fat ass
If the reddit comments are to be believed: straight from the parking lot into the drink
I was sober except for the part where I maybe wasn't except in a legal sense and then on top of that suffered a bunch of other ailments that made me drive into a pond, over a curb and some other shit
On good will I hand it to this person that this sounds american-with-no-alternatives as fuck and they didn't frame it as a sort of passive "I got into an accident" but like still
Every 1 in 1,000 libertarians seems to realize bicycles are good even according to their principles and then you get a post like this.
If you don't know Hickman, I think he'd best be described as a sort of primitivist-nostalgic liberterian for settler times in the USA. To fulfill his dreams he moved out into the boonies of upstate new york and ever so often hates how it's full of uncultured swine, by his definition.

It has been so long....I thought it was over....alas, the fixie riders have mounted their back-at-it-ing

I freely admit from an manufacturing perspective it is somewhat impressive
Picture from the german wiki article
Being fast on a bicycle has a lot to do with aerodynamics so you go build an aero chassis around a recumbent and bam, fast as fuck boy.
If you do 200 Watts on a regular bicycle on a windless flat and a regular road, you're looking at going about 30kph. With this? 50kph. Obviously generalizing a lot here but you get the point.
They suck ass on hills though, because they weigh ~30kg with the chassis. not so much a problem in motion on the flat, kind of sucks uphill where aero doesn't matter. From my experience you don't see a lot of e-bike variants so far because with EU regulations the motor'd cut out at the speed you'd go for a leisurely ride on a normal bicycle, but maybe it'd be interesting to make them more hillclimbing capable.
Fun fact: in 1968 some dude did 100kph in this with by himself with no outside help.
Chassis are usually some sort carbon fibre or fiberglass and built monocoque, which means you better not ding them babies because repairs are gonna be expensive as fuck.
Prices run around 10k€ and then up to whatever you feel like paying for a new one. But they do look like old timey racecars which is fun. From personal experience of having chatted up a few of the local velomobile riders I feel like there's about a 50:50 split between buying one and somebody going fully "dad in the shed" and just building the entire thing from scratch
