It's critical that there is differentiation between e-bikes and e-motos in conversations about regulation. They are not the same and should not be treated the same. This article provides a fantastic overview of the differences: archive.ph/paiO8

Basically, I'm really lazy, so I bullshitted my way into working with computers because it's inside work with minimal to no heavy lifting. So far, nobody whose opinion matters has noticed that I don't know what I'm doing.

TIL our cat Blake is a shower cat. Just hopped right into the tub with me while I was rinsing myself off after my workout.
This isn't exactly unwelcome, but it means we're going to have to launder towels a lot more frequently if it becomes a regular thing.
