Does anyone have a Lectric XP4 I could look at?

I am considering getting one of these as a car replacement, but I want to test if I can get it up my staircase. Would someone be willing to let me test on theirs? If so, DM me. I live near campus.

Why are campus food truck vendors circulating a petition to protect themselves?

A petition is circulating to "Protect Local Food Truck Vendors at The University of Utah [1]." The petition text says, "The University of Utah is making changes to food truck operations on campus that could force current food truck owners to lose their spots" (emphasis mine).

The petition looks like it may have been created by the food truck operators, as many of them have a link to it in their Instagram profiles.

Olive's Oasis posted about it, saying, "We respectfully ask the University of Utah to reconsider its decision to transition to a third-party food truck management program [2]."

In a later post, they said: "Moving daily food truck operations to a third-party company raises concerns that smaller, independent trucks may have a harder time competing or maintaining the direct access they’ve had to campus. We hope the University will continue supporting the local businesses that have been part of the campus community for years [3]."

Bento posted: "Just 2 days ago, we were informed that our contract would be terminated in two weeks-just right before the start of the new school year [4]."

My question is, does anyone have any details about what is actually going on?

Anyone else feel like they might as well flip a coin when picking the DA?

I've been trying to research this race. Sim and Shawn both seem to agree ideologically about prioritizing mental health over incarceration. There's some negative press about Sim, which isn't surprising since he's the incumbent. On the other hand I have found virtually no information on Shawn's track record. I feel like voting for or against Shawn is just taking a random guess at whether new meat is going to be better or worse.

If you ever move to a different part of the country, make sure to tell people you're from Kansas.

You will become known as the person from Kansas.

Questions about using an electric mug warmer

I take long showers, so I am thinking about using a mug warmer to keep my brush warm while I shower and my lather warm while I shave. I've read a few comments on this sub about these and I have some follow-up questions:

  1. Everyone I have seen who uses a mug warmer says to use a metal bowl with it. Does this not burn you when you pick up the bowl after it's been heated?
  2. Where can I find a shaving bowl with a flat bottom that will make good contact with the warm plate so as not to waste heat?
  3. Why not ceramic?
