I am surprised it’s called “America’s celebrated work ethic” - from my (Dutch) perspective, it’s notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!

Thank you kind person!

The article did mention them as “registered”, so I don’t think this applies.

According to Wikipedia it’s not, so you’re safe

I’m loving the puns quoted in the article haha

“Setting up a base in Vietnam” for a US company sounds like slightly painful wording to me…

I’m wondering if it’s tied to how status symbols differ per culture. Its been 20 years, but I don’t remember status symbols mattering much to my environment when I was a teenager in the Netherlands. I wonder how that is now.

I find their statements a bit on the sweeping side.

Out of more than 1.8 million administrator credentials analyzed, over 40,000 entries were “admin,” showing that the default password is widely accepted by IT administrators.

That’s just over 2 percent. “Widely accepted” in my book is a much larger percentage…

“up to 1% of 2100 planes could be affected” followed by “based on our calculations, as many as 21 planes could be affected” made me chuckle.

I’m not a very experienced rider yet, but here’s some key points from my extensive classes (required in the EU, I can only recommend taking lessons!):

• always use both brakes. The front has the most power. Especially if you don’t have abs, practice hard braking but do so carefully, as front lockups are super sketchy but further away than you might feel at first
• if you have abs, practice braking as hard as you dare to make it come on. Drive straight and find when it kicks in (feels jittery) so you know more or less when it happens
• as others said, gently using the brakes so the lights come on is always a good idea
• engine braking is good, but only for controlled deceleration
• in an emergency stop situation, NEVER engine brake. The movement of the engine will slow down emergency stops. Pull the clutch and brake as hard as is safe to do
• always keep an eye on your mirrors, and look if there’s someone close behind before braking. Signal with a light tap of the brakes to get the light on if needed, or move aside before braking
• while you may accelerate faster than cars, due to the lower weight you may actually stop slower!

Always practice in an empty lot or street, while driving straight. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.

Happy riding brother/sister(or others which may apply)!❤️

No sure if this applies to the particular vehicle, but check the reverse light. My dad once replaced the bulb on his small car with one hat had a beeper builninto the bulb, because he bought it was funny if it sounded like a truck backing up - it’s a very simple mod for any vehicle with a reverse light.
