The best part about a study to map bird movements with lasers is that they had to make tiny safety goggles for the parrots.

@fribbledom The circled 2 means that there must be one mine on either side of the circled 3. Therefore the circled 1 will be satisfied and the x’ d box is safe to click.

I’m looking for a small electric vehicle to traverse a large campus. It needs to be portable (gotta take it on the bus and store it in my office), compatible with dresses, and functional in poor weather. The route has hills and minimal traffic. Ideally, it’ll be less than 25 lb, able to last 5 miles with a speed greater than 10 mph.

I have a Segway Ninebot S, which has served me well, but I don’t like the 7mph speed limit and the battery is dying.

All suggestions are welcome!
