You don't think people might rent them? Like in tourist destinations. Can't pack your riding gear but don't want/need a car kind of thing.

Well he's stunningly stupid, so I'm not sure this is news as much as a "yeah, no duh" article.
Nevermind, they have "AI" on the job. I'm sure that will keep those kids safe
Instead, the guidelines will direct platforms to take a "layered" approach to assessing age with multiple methods, and to "minimise friction" for their users — such as by using AI-driven models that assess age with facial scans or by tracking user behaviour.
So just more security theater?
That self-felating turd was absolutely a coyote in the hen house cutting off the possibility of any accountability for his companies until at least the next administration. I hope he finds himself at the business end of a K-Hole soon. The world would be a much better place with him.
It was obviously used to achieve all of the cuts to social programs conservatives have been trying to get for a while now. It kept the senators and congresspeople from having to get their hands dirty by slashing Medicare and social security. They just shrugged their shoulders after getting up in arms about Biden's use of executive orders.
IRAS 04302: Butterfly Disk Planet Formation
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Webb; Processing: M. Villenave et al.
Explanation: This butterfly can hatch planets. The nebula fanning out from the star IRAS 04302+2247 may look like the wings of a butterfly, while the vertical brown stripe down the center may look like the butterfly's body -- but together they indicate an active planet-forming system. The featured picture was captured recently in infrared light by the Webb Space Telescope. Pictured, the vertical disk is thick with the gas and dust from which planets form. The disk shades visible and (most) infrared light from the central star, allowing a good view of the surrounding dust that reflects out light. In the next few million years, the dust disk will likely fragment into rings through the gravity of newly hatched planets. And a billion years from now, the remaining gas and dust will likely dissipate, leaving mainly the planets -- like in our Solar System. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250908.html
Astronomers detected this exceptionally bright FRB, formally referred to as FRB 20250316A, in March from the direction of the Big Dipper using the CHIME radio telescope in British Columbia. They’re referring to the flash as “RBFLOAT” for “Radio Brightest Flash Of All Time.” The flash produced more energy in a few milliseconds than our Sun produces in four days.
The Spinning Pulsar of the Crab Nebula
Image Credit: NASA: X-ray: Chandra (CXC), Optical: Hubble (STScI), Infrared: Spitzer (JPL-Caltech)
Explanation: At the core of the Crab Nebula lies a city-sized, magnetized neutron star spinning 30 times a second. Known as the Crab Pulsar, it is the bright spot in the center of the gaseous swirl at the nebula's core. About twelve light-years across, the spectacular picture frames the glowing gas, cavities and swirling filaments near the Crab Nebula's center. The featured picture combines visible light from the Hubble Space Telescope in purple, X-ray light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue, and infrared light from the Spitzer Space Telescope in red. Like a cosmic dynamo, the Crab pulsar powers the emission from the nebula, driving a shock wave through surrounding material and accelerating the spiraling electrons. With more mass than the Sun and the density of an atomic nucleus,the spinning pulsar is the collapsed core of a massive star that exploded. The outer parts of the Crab Nebula are the expanding remnants of the star's component gases. The supernova explosion was witnessed on planet Earth in [the year 1054] https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/fap/ap250808.html
Great for 99% of the population. Really only detrimental to those 2800 people and the bootlickers protecting them.
Mo' gravity, mo' problems
What lies in the heart of Orion? Trapezium: four bright stars, that can be found near the center of this sharp cosmic portrait. Gathered within a region about 1.5 light-years in radius, these stars dominate the core of the dense Orion Nebula Star Cluster. Ultraviolet ionizing radiation from the Trapezium stars, mostly from the brightest star Theta-1 Orionis C powers the complex star forming region's entire visible glow. About three million years old, the Orion Nebula Cluster was even more compact in its younger years and a dynamical study indicates that runaway stellar collisions at an earlier age may have formed a black hole with more than 100 times the mass of the Sun. The presence of a black hole within the cluster could explain the observed high velocities of the Trapezium stars. The Orion Nebula's distance of some 1,500 light-years make it one of the closest candidate black holes to Earth.

Supernova 2025rbs in NGC 7331
Image Credit: Ben Godson (University of Warwick)
Explanation: A long time ago in a galaxy 50 million light-years away, a star exploded. Light from that supernova was first detected by telescopes on planet Earth on July 14th though, and the extragalactic transient is now known to astronomers as supernova 2025rbs. Presently the brightest supernova in planet Earth's sky, 2025rbs is a Type Ia supernova, likely caused by the thermonuclear detonation of a white dwarf star that accreted material from a companion in a binary star system. Type Ia supernovae are used as standard candles to establish the distance scale of the universe. The host galaxy of 2025rbs is NGC 7331. Itself a bright spiral galaxy in the northern constellation Pegasus, NGC 7331 is often touted as an analog to our own Milky Way.

That's what I would have thought about those Can-Am three wheelers but I see them all over the southeast US.
