Actually my ebike is still miles. Miles = moving parts.

Motorcycles in the US are also miles im 95% sure. You will see hours on things like tractors I believe or ATVs, even watercraft.

It’s really hard to gauge the overall health of a vehicle via one metric. Just because the car has 5000 miles on it doesn’t mean the previous owner didn’t do them all at 6,000 rpm in second gear for all you know.

This is also part of the reason quality electric cars have decent resale value after hundreds of thousands of miles at times; the drivetrains have many less moving parts than internal combustion engines, so the overall health of the vehicle is suspect to much less “witchcraft”.

While what you say is true, mere idling won’t put as much strain on the chassis, cables, suspension, transmission, etc.

Less parts moving = less wear usually, so the metric will hold as well as it can. I suppose you could rate it in hours, like an industrial machine, but that would be a sketchy metric as well. Did you just turn the key, or was the engine running?

I was in school when columbine happened. Before columbine, it was very common for my friends on the playground to scream “I’ll kill you if I catch you” or “I’ll kill you all” whatever in a joking manor before that happened. I remember us saying it all the time.

Then Columbine happened.

It’s sad, but this is the reality we live in.

I’m not saying joking about killing people when you’re kids is right, however I never shot up a school despite being bullied in elementary school and playing many hours of Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake, and even listening to lots of punk and NIN / Marilyn Manson back then as well.

I think the world is getting less educated and more divided and it sucks.

Sorry, I misspoke. Prince Andrew paid her off around March 8, 2022. I’m not victim blaming here, but this circle deserves the worst that can come at them. It’s unfortunate credible victims flip.

Virginia Giuffries settled, without making an announcement as to how much. She was the most steadfast accuser of Epstein and she STFU. Not saying he didn’t do horrible things, but apparently moral obligation goes out the window when you get an undisclosed amount of money.
