• I had no idea you could cmd-drag a Mac menu bar item to get rid of it. Zoom seems to have hidden the option to toggle their menu bar icon off, so I’m feeling slightly less like Harry Caul now.— toot

• Riding a motorcycle brings me joy, but of all my interests and hobbies, it is the one where I most pointedly avoid the community around it. If you’re not getting mad-dogged at CycleGear by some strutting clown in a Sons of Anarchy cut, you’re getting no-waved by the Harley people.— toot

• My heavy ebike has a left thumb throttle I use to get underway from a stop, and it’s fine for that. I think we’d be better off layering in training/licensing for faster e-mopeds, but I’d also be curious about the safety numbers for the 50cc IC scooters you don’t need that for today.— toot
