Press "no tip" and sue them for hearing damage....
Seriously though, as a non American I only tip when the service or food was exceptionally good for the given establishment. People do however get paid a decent salary here, so tipping is optional.

Get a recumbent instead, or for maximum speed gains, a velomobile.
I had to scroll too far for this...
Just use the washable ones, made from organic cotton. Lower environmental impact, shorter time until potty trained as well on average. Still not as good as not putting extra people on the planet though 😁
Compared to a nice bike, they are still more expensive, but it's not ridiculous for what you get. A bike with loads of torque, ample power, fully adjustable front and rear suspension and very low running costs. I also find the belt drive rather nice. Hardly any maintenance, just check the tension a few times a year.
Take a chainsaw with you next time. If they complain that you don't have a motor, offer to demonstrate to them that you do in fact have one (without being threatening of course).
Thanks for the update and all the effort you put in.
It's crazy to see how little everybody would need to contribute to support your efforts to keep everything running. If all users would just donate €1 PER YEAR, that would cover all the costs and make sure you would have enough time to spend working on tchncs without worrying about paying the bills working for paying customers.
Yes, and it's mostly the wind noise, because on my electric motorcycle I need them more than on my large touring bike with superb wind protection.
In my experience, you situational awareness is better, because all sounds are turned down, you can still hear everything, it's just not as loud. Most of these attenuate the frequencies where the wind noise is more than the rest, which also helps.
The main reason why I say your awareness is better though, is that you have less fatigue when you aren't constantly exposed to loud noise while riding, again in my experience.
The helmet you have also makes a huge difference, just like the bike. On a naked bike you'll have more wind noise, whereas on a touring bike with a large windscreen, it's mainly engine noise.
I was a bit skeptical about paying for search, but after trying out the free plan, I subbed and later upgraded to the family plan. No regrets.
We have a different brand, but otherwise comparable. During our training and practice, we did a few runs with volunteers and also with the colleague who was wheelchair bound. While it does feel a bit weird the first time, it doesn't feel unsafe to sit in, and also when operating it, you feel like in control without too much effort.
During our evacuations, everybody remains calm, and everything remains orderly and coordinated. I have to admit we never had an evacuation with fire and smoke near the people, but with the early warnings we get, that's unlikely to happen. The building was designed with good compartmentalisation, so even when there's a fire, the smoke shouldn't spread too far.
If they offer it on steam and then sell Steam keys on their own website, that should get them the most from each sale...
