this won't work because the forces needed to push whatever against the tire will wear out said tire before you get up the first hill. remember, it has to push itself, the bike, you, and your cargo.
use a chain drive.

it's double the wear on the tire, and yes if a toothed rim is an option then that will for sure be the best way to go.
i'm also worried about heat from the insane gear reduction needed.
definitely a cool experiment, good luck o/

Zelenskyy Says U.S. Is Conditioning Security Guarantees on Surrender of Donbas
New York Times is reporting that according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Don Trump “still chooses a strategy of putting more pressure on the Ukrainian side.”
https://archive.ph/tZ3XX
> The U.S. position aligns with a Russian demand that Ukraine hand over a roughly 50-mile-by-40-mile zone in the Donetsk region, part of the larger Donbas, as a condition for ending the war. Ukraine has refused, arguing that ceding the heavily fortified area would give Russia a staging ground for future attacks that would threaten not just Ukraine but also Europe... Simply handing over the land would allow Russia to escape the immense costs it would incur in trying to seize the territory militarily. Ukraine says such a push would take the Russian Army years and inflict hundreds of thousands of losses on it.
The US-Russian invasion of the largest nation in Europe, an ostensible US ally, needs to be unconditionally terminated.

I have to admit I'm enjoying OpenAI's progression from "we're building the future of synthetic sentience, we will be the birthplace of a new silicon hypergod, everyone better watch out" to "well, artificial general intelligence is kind of hard to define, maybe that's not a useful term" to "we can't figure out how to make any money selling people personally-tailored pornography generators so we're turning their chatbot girlfriends off."
I'm looking forward to their next big innovation!

Been working on a blog post idea about how the 'old', real, more simple web is still around, usable, fuck the big corpo garbage web, and so on. Been seeing other great pieces on it, gathering ideas, wanna reference them, etc. Wanna collect all of them and say something intelligent about it but wow it's gonna take a while to collect it all and write it up 😂 But be assured, it's on its way eventually. Hopefully sooner than later. I want it to be almost like a brief, simple roadmap for the real web.

"Scholars of civil resistance generally define 'success' as the overthrow of a government or territorial independence achieved because of a campaign within a year of its peak. Among the 565 campaigns that have both begun and ended over the past 120 years, about 51 percent of the nonviolent campaigns have succeeded outright, while only about 26 percent of the violent ones have. Nonviolent resistance thus outperforms violence by a 2-to-1 margin."

#totalitarianism #left #right #same #mannerThe Totalitarianism
The concept itself of "totalitarianism" was developed by thinkers like Hannah Arendt to describe systems that seek to control all the aspects of society and of individual life. She applied it notably to two regimes that everything opposes ideologically on paper:
Nazi Germany (extreme right)
Stalinist Soviet Union (extreme left)

"The US has caused an eye-watering $10tn in global damages to the world over the past three decades through its vast planet-heating emissions, with a quarter of this economic pain inflicted upon itself, new research has found.
China, now the world’s largest emitter, is responsible for $9tn in GDP damage since 1990, according to the findings of the paper."
