In my part of town, there is a local highway we have to cross to get to school. As there is no crossing guard, I will go walk them. This walk us like ten minutes, no problem. However, once kids go to the other schools in town the walk goes from 10 to 30 minutes easily. Since the kids still have to cross that highway that no one cars to safely stop, we have to drive the kids. So in this case, poor driving skills and poor pedestrian safety is why.

Where I grew up a bus was needed as the schools were too far away to walk.

    I test drove it, was a little cramped in the front, banged my elbows making turns in a parking lot. The back door handle is really high up, doesn't work for shorter passengers. The ride is was really good and I love that regen is triggered when pressing the brake. Stopping felt natural. I also drove the Subaru trailseeker and it drives very similar, but bigger in the back.

    I'm in the process of running a 6-20 outlet for ev charging that doesn't heat up mt panel or cause a huge draw. 240@16Amps is like 6+miles. Which means my commute is charged up in just under 3 hours. Yes, I could just hardwired something more exciting, but I want to slow charge my battery, but give it at least 240v to avoid the losses in winter.

    These ebike laws are a mess. I went through the hassle of getting mine registered with a license "plate" as required, but I have yet to see any other bikes in my area with the plates. To make things worse, the registration only last one year. :(

    I have been drinking this recipe most of this week. Just wanted to share.

    Aeropress
    Water temp 175 F
    Beans 2.3g ~ 2.8g
    Water 35ml
    Milk 4oz ~ 6oz
    
    With the aeropress inverted (around the 1 mark)
    Add coffee and water. 
    Stir after a few seconds. 
    Install filter and press into cup all the way down. 
    Add Milk. 
    Enjoy
    

    I'm using unsweetened Almond Milk currently. My beans are a Columbian lite roast that I home roast.

    I came up with this as a way to enjoy some coffee at night actually, but have been enjoying it in the morning.
