          It seems to be really well thought out. Like the original meme is nice too:

          But would be a lot of paint that would flake off easily so the above design looks like it would work much better for a shirt:-).

              And clothing that lasts for more than at least one year, sheesh!

              But were people allowed to say “bitch” back then? Truly we have advanced in so many ways!:-)

                I still feel funny about calling my female dog a bitch. But not when I call a person a bitch. I use it most in phrases like “they’re just going to bitch about it”

                  I think it probably depends on the person and whether they would be okay with it or not? Like is it silly such as “Bish pulease”, whereas I’ve never once heard someone call someone else like a “cunt” (UK, and I guess Australia?) and had it be any kind of okay. But rap culture seems to have redeemed bitch… maybe, for some people?

                  Edit: as always, it’s the consent that makes all the difference.

                Oh yeah definitely not. I’d have been grounded for weeks even in the 80s.

                  This is when you would respond “Bitch, I said what I said” (Doja Cat, Paint the Town Red), right?! Hrmm… me neither:-P.

                The best is not having to dress up for work. I had a couple of years of that and then transitioned to jeans/sweats/shorts and t-shirt for the past 35 years. That sucked and thank goodness pantyhose is or less gone.

                  And now many people work from home, in like pajamas or equivalent. Personal toilet, snacks, that’s the life! :-)

    The woman is reportedly denying the charges saying during voluntary questioning that she was not aware that the suitcase is a vehicle that requires a driver’s license.

    When you start to realize that there could be too many laws on the books.

    It has a max speed of 13 kph, that’s practically crawling. And she was on a sidewalk. This is just much ado about nothing

    She was scootin’ around on one of these. Here is another link, of Marques Brownlee giving specs and driving one.

      That’s not really a suit case though. That’s a foldable bike.

      This is the purest form of battery-on-wheels I can imagine and I find this highly amusing.

      Except the one Marques has can go 15mph, or about 24kph, almost twice that of the one in the article.

    Since wind does riding an ebike require a license?

      If it can accelerate without pedal-assist, it’s not an ebike in many jurisdictions, likely including Japan.

      Japan might not have a category for e-bikes. The article says the suitcase was considered a motorbike.
