Joel Allen, a software engineer, hoped to retire at 26. That plan fell through. But he did build a little place to retreat to, which is a good compromise.

Electric Pizza Delivery Scooters Come with Sound Effects


(Video Link)


The electric scooters that deliver from Domino's Pizza in the Netherlands are almost silent. That makes them potentially dangerous because, like ninjas, you can't hear them coming. So speakers on the scooters emit appropriate, if delightfully amateurish sound effects.
