It’s not that hard to fold sheet metal into three sides. I’m not sure why these are notable in any way at this point.

Of course, “always cheaper” in this case means less money up front, but much, much expensive more down the road than the initial cost.
Of course, the down the road cost isn’t usually that visibly connected to the “make it illegal” plan, so conservative governments love it.

The trouble with ‘Slippery Slope’ and ‘No True Scotsman’ is that they themselves are not fallacies. Invoking them without proper justification is the fallacy. The same sort of thing happens all the time with ‘Appeal to Authority’, you can probably trust a scientific consensus about a subject in which they are all experts, but you probably shouldn’t trust an individual expert on a topic for which they are not recognized as an expert.
For an example of Slippery Slope: Fascists will absolutely try to demonize the most available target, and then because they always need an out-group, they continue cutting at what they consider the ‘degenerates’ of society until they are all that remain. (And then they find some new definition of degenerate)
“No True Scotsman” is valid in that there is at some point by definition after which you are no longer talking about something. “No true vegetarian eats meat” is valid, as this is definitional. “No true member of Vegetarians United eats meat” lacks proper justification, and refers to an organization, not a proper definition. This gets really messy when people conflate what group people are in with what they ‘are’ or what makes them a good example of a group. Especially when religion is involved.
I got mine about a year ago after a test-drive, I absolutely do not regret it.
Previously I had done a moderate to low amount of biking when I could, but now I commute ~20Km to work and another 20 back most every day in the spring, summer, and fall. I even commute occasionally in the winter when paths have been properly cleared.
I went upper ‘mid-range’ and ended up spending up spending about $3000 CDN on it, (as a daily commuting vehicle, it’s much cheaper than a second car would be.) I researched reputable brands, and I would absolutely not trust a strangely branded discount Li Ion battery from the internet.
You still have to put in a decent amount of work peddling, but the electric motor makes the bike’s speed, acceleration, and range much better than it would be normally.
The infrastructure of your area and what you would be doing with it will play a big part in what sort of ebike is right for you. I prioritized distance, speed, and carrying capacity, but I am going about 40 Km a day on it, so other bikes might be better suited to other purposes.
Stars are so very, very far away that they are effectively point-sized spots of light, which can be very easily influenced by random atmospheric disruptions.
Planets are much closer to us, so they appear to be disks with an apperent diameter. Since they appear much larger from our perspective, they are less liable to ‘twinkle’ due to atmospheric disruptions.
The democratic convention hasn’t happened, Biden was only ever just the presumed candidate. Trump is the oldest U.S. presidential candidate there has ever been.
