treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?English2·2 days agoAlso one of the easiest EU countries for Americans to immigrate to.
What makes it easy?

EDIT: Their promo video doesn’t really explain much of anything. Shows there’s a little play between the crank and sprocket but that’s about it.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?English81·4 days agoTo me The Netherlands is just weed, bikes, trains, and canals. Sounds great.
I’m also fairly sure it’s not going to be as great as it sounds. And the language will probably be annoying and not very useful elsewhere.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?English33·4 days agoWhether or not someone has a passport is almost entirely based on the amount of wealth that person or their family has.
Where I grew up, almost nobody traveled abroad because nobody could afford it. Or at most, back in the day they would drive to Canada because you could cross without a passport.

Vague articles are vague.
treadful@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?English3·6 days agoFair enough, I just disagree. Gaining independence seems to me like a positive thing worth celebrating. I’m happy whenever I see an ex-colony celebrating their day.
Not saying we Americans don’t take it a little far, but hey, it’s the one day where you can be patriotic without that creepy vibe.

Could it be any more clear? /s
In the US.
- Shirts/hoodies/etc: I like Bayside Apparel. Good price, good quality, long lasting, union made. Please buy from them so they continue to exist.
- Sneakers: New Balance has some assembled in the USA shoes. Very limited selection, but options in general are minimal. The only other Made in USA shoes I could find were like bare feet nonsense or moccasins.
- Boots: There’s a bunch of Made in USA boot makers. Redwing, Danner, and I’m sure I’m missing some good options. These will be easy to find with a Web search.
- Underwear/undershirts: I got nothin. If anyone has found anything, I’d love to know about it.
- Socks: Recently learned about Wide Open. Socks seem pretty high quality but I’ve only had them for a few months so far. I think there’s some other Made in USA sock makers as well that I’m not remembering.
I mostly look for Made in USA just because I’m happy to support my country’s workers, and the labor laws are known to me. I’ve run across some Made in EU stuff but it always seems like a hassle to get it shipped out.
Wish there was any real visibility into supply chains so we could feel more confident buying from other places. Can’t even trust companies that say they have ethical suppliers in SE Asia because they probably have no idea what their contractors are actually doing.

It’s like if reporters kept asking “are you gonna punch that baby?” It may have not been a consideration before, but it’s definitely one now.

No, not really

That’s over twice the amount of torque that a 2024 1.1L Africa Twin puts down. I don’t know how you would even control that on something as light as an e-bike.
