It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

That's all.

Today there was construction on the road and a ton of cars were stuck.

Then whenever there is an event at a nearby park I zoom on by them as all the cars get stuck.

Just realized how overly pleased I was when the person stopped all the cars, and I just was like... oh look, nothing is being done in my lane.

EDIT: Oh and I can get to my closet grocery store faster than a car by cutting through a parking lot cars can't get into simply because doing so avoids having to do a left turn onto a super busy road. Joyful, every time. More traffic at that light, the better I feel.

Glad to hear others are as petty as me!

Estonian light electric vehicle digital security company Comodule and German e-bike lock brand 2Lock have joined together to create an integrated physical and digital e-bike security solution. In essence, it’s a contactless wheel hub locking system, which integrates two mechanisms into one hub. Firstly, one prevents wheel rotation and the other prevents unauthorised wheel removal. It integrates via Comodule’s Internet of Things (IoT) technology via a CAN bus connection and it can be activated or deactivated through the Comodule Companion App. How does it work?
