  • There are cities near coatlines and beaches that rent quad-cycles for tourists, sightseeing, pedicab taxi, etc. More offen, they stay broken longer compared to the standard 2-wheel bicycle for rent. In my youth I had a tricycle (20" wheels and a rear basket) that hauled daily about 70 newspapers in one trip. My downside, maintenance was never a simple walmart fix and the tricycle had a very short service life in the paperboy business. Teenage me relied more on my Huffy bicycle and 2nd refill trips for those heavy sunday papers. Reliability vs truckability (if that’s an actual word 😉). And on the business-side there’s the cost. Someone will need to have a proper dedicated bicycle workshop. A “backroom to fix bikes” will never cut it for the evermore complicated modern bike\e-bike.










  • The code is JavaScript–an integral part of displaying modern websites. Not since the days before 2001 and very simple browsers like Netscape Navigator 3 and Internet Explorer 3 that didn’t yet have javascript. Today that is what adblock is doing - it stops loading untrustworthy or unwanted bits and pieces of code while still giving the end-user (most of) the javascripts they need. Instead of the default action, “ok, gimme the whole webpage code, as-is”. That last sentence, that’s Chrome. I can explain it some more further. But that’s the jist of it.
