Me: "Ugh, gender affirming padding and outfits are nice but they're so much work and hardly worth the effort. For completely unrelated reasons I feel gross and masculine."

Also me, but wearing gender affirming padding and outfits: "I AM AN UNSTOPPABLE GODDESS AND A PARAGON OF FEMININE ENERGY!"

"[Terrariums] provide an ideal opportunity to study alien fauna up close. Select carefully which lifeforms you bring onboard - they may also be studying you."

The Globe Haul has a torque sensor.

The Abound (no suffix) should be torque sensing? I did some reading and it looks like older Aventons sensed cadence but the company switched over relatively recently.

Per Aventon's website the transitional models are Aventure 3, Abound LR/SR, Level 3, and Pace 4

When I was bike shopping I test-rode an Aventon Abound and was overall pleased during the short trial. I ultimately went with a Specialized Globe Haul ST because I got it for a steal from a local dealer

Gay radiator yall

Gaydiator, if you will

Max 20mph without pedaling, no verbiage about top speed by human power

Pennsylvania allows up to Class 2 without paperwork, though whether or not a bike exceeds those limits is based on the honor system unless you catch the law's attention

The Abound was my top contender during my first round of research

What is it?

I want your unsolicited recommendations for E-bikes!

Specifically Class 2 cargo bikes for short trips and local errands in the US.

amongussexgif ... Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's Al assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet. Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it. Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola
