wouldn't that require taking and passing a motorcycle test?

Well, er....yes.

But why not if for an e-bike they're talking about licensing, etc those...for which a test would be required too.

And besides the motorcycle test is do a figure 8 in a parking lot and basically you're done....no big deal.

I recall, since I already had my drivers license I didn't have to take any written test just to have the motorcycle endorsement added to my drivers license.....road rules are the same.

And we in the US wonder why all you EU folks actually thing 6-8 hours is some sort of abnormally long driving trip...??

And I said I take usually 1 break in the middle...to refuel, pee and maybe grab a burger (possibly to go) and that generally takes all of 10 minutes....

Even if this crazy minimum-age shit weren't happening, it's generally a good idea to give incorrect information. Have one birthday for site x and a different birthday for site y. Use one of your parent's birthdays here, and a celebrity's birthday there. Pollute the public data and cause confusion.

If minimum age laws help to encourage data public data pollution (all of which arguably shouldn't be public at all anyway), then at least one good thing will have come out of it.

Let's get it up to 84% of parents helping their kids bypass age checks.

do you think YouTube's subtitles are "appallingly bad"?

No, they're much, much better than having no generated titles at all, and by a lot.

mpv won't generate any subtitles for me; it can only show what's included in the data.

The LLMs weren't trained on a story about who won. How TF is it supposed to predict it in advance? That's not how LLMs work. Just train it on one more thing, a story about who won in 2026, and I'm sure you'll see its accuracy go up.

Citing freedom as a reason to rally against perfectly reasonable common sense legislation is dumb

We, in the US, have PLENTY of sensible common sense laws already passed by legislators...actually probably too many currently.

But why not start enforcing those first...before you start infringing on the rights of people living and using their tools lawfully?

When it's a freedom to own weapons to kill children in schools, it definitely is. Those are the freedoms you like, right?

Strange, narry a single one of my many, MANY firearms have spontaneously gotten up a shot up a school....or harmed ANY human being or animal around me to date.

I keep them all loaded and chambered, especially the ones I carry concealed when out and about....

Hmm...you might just consider the problem is not the tool...but, and follow me on this.....but the human abusing or misusing said tool.....

And speaking of that...when, oh when...will we get:When it's a freedom to own weapons to kill children in schools, it definitely is. Those are the freedoms you like, right?

Sensible Rental truck laws?

Sensible Knife Laws?

Sensible hammer laws?

Sensible....well you get the point.

Most anything can be misused and can (and have been) used to mass kill people.....

Those small minorities of people shouldn't ruin a good thing for the majority of law abiding citizens should they?

Ebiikes are a legal workaround loophole for motorcycles.

If you're going to have to go through the trouble of getting a license and have to register and mount a license plate on the "bike"....why not just go ahead and get a real motorcycle....?

The E-bikes without the hassle of registering, etc were fun for kids and even grownups to scoot around, but if you're going to be treated like a motorcycle, you might as well get a real one and realize the benefits of having a real bike.

I'd just be of the mind of "fuck it"...I'll just get a REAL motorcycle.....

Oh wow. So are you lined up to be a long haul driver then? Surely you are manly enough. We have a huge shortage of drivers right now. Maybe you should talk to a trucker a little bit. The job they do is important and they are proud of what they do. But they are treated horribly.

Nope....I make more $$ doing what I do now for less effort.

But when I drive...I drive for hours at a time with few if any stops....that's why an EV would not suit me or my lifestyle, I could not deal with having to stop and pause 30+ minutes on a 6-8 hour drive, possibly multiple times.....I hit the road and generally don't stop till I get there, except to use 5-10 minutes to gas up and pee midway....

And as her +70.9% gains in 2024 were somewhat extraordinary, Nancy Pelosi spawned a host of similar apps - I believe autopilot has subsequently been broadened to include other lawmakers of both parties.

Which means the Swiss run the risk of losing their national identity over the coming decades.

Surely that would be lost in the noise. Don't most cultures lose their identities about every 20-30 years anyway? I'm not quite the same person I was 25 years ago, and I bet you aren't either. Yet we are the medium through which culture waves.

Take a longer view and think of 1926. WTF do you today, have in common with them? Some things, but not others. Reading about their lives is much like meeting someone from the other side of the world.

The amount of time it takes the cultural Ship of Theseus to change all its components, is equal to the average human lifespan. Though you can detect the change of culture whenever you think in terms of decades, in day-to-day life it mainly manifests as "ooh neat, a new 'exotic' restaurant has opened!" Twenty or thirty years later, it isn't exotic anymore.

Wow, you allow 8 hours of continuous driving in the US?

(Edit crank comments on child labor)

...In other parts of the world the number is much lower. (EU rules is 4.5 hours with 45min break, maximum 9 hours of driving in any one day with 2 exceptions to 10 hours per week).

It's because in the US we're not all pussies...and we get stuff done.
