A decent MTB won't set you back a lot and if you are happy to add a motor and battery you might want to look at the Giant Stance. It has a dropper post that goes so low I can sit on the bike and actually flat foot the ground, I'm 6'. That might not be low enough for you though, to be able to...
I doubt OP would be doing offroad with that kind of weight, is probably just a road rider who wanted something to handle his bulk. Looks like they are long gone from the forum so I guess we'll never know how it worked out.
So SMNR are 10~15 years out still? Well we should have fusion power by then surely. It's only a decade away 😉
Here is a year old article on Dunkelflaute, quite a Buzz word in renewable circles now. Much higher prices for electricity is just the price some have to pay for innovation, we're not...
The courts are full of conspiracy cases, but the average tv head thinks they are only a fringe thing. Like the "we didn't land on the moon conspiracy." That isn't a conspiracy, that's just a bunch of nutters who fed on too much youtube gibberish, egged along by movies like Capricorn One...
Well post away, by all means. But the chart above is hardly a conspiracy. That's just a thought stopper to repel information that goes against what you believe. And what people believe today is "anything" that promises a bright future and cookies and cream for all.
As for small modular...
I never used to ride with a diaper but I do now. I'll switch back, I don't know why I went over, can't remember but I was riding as often as I do now... But I don't wear fancy cloths, just footie shorts and track pants in winter with white tanktops so I stand out on the road.
Here is a very revealing chart, easily verifiable. It shows a well kept secret, that transmission and conversion losses -transformers- account for over Half of all the electricity generated at large plants. It's lost before it ever reaches the end-user. Think about that! As far as a...
And not only that, but doing pushups will strengthen your upper body and core making a lot of bar issues irrelevant. A lot of the fixes I read about, comfy bars, comfy suspension seats are fixes for overweight people with no muscle tone and old people with creaky bones. You have to parse that...
Yes, but the US isn't exactly the manufacturing hub it once was and coal for electricity is only one of it's uses. Over half the steel in the world is made in China, it exports to the US and Britain now England has shut down much of it's traditional steel works, and their concrete works too I...
Yeah we call beer piss down here too. I thought we invented the term? I've been to some hangi events, those pits of coal you pointed too. The Aussies make the best ones from my experience because the NZ boys have a nasty habit of tossing everything in there. Once they put Mullet in, a...
lol. No it's not HATE! It's just poking a stick at, for fun.
It's like this "I've learned to ignore the smug EV culture. If it works for you, have at it, but don't ram it down..."
Funny story, I was set upon on a forum years ago when on a topic about taking energy snacks on rides I had the...
I was considering a Leaf about seven years ago. I read up on them, not the sales websites, the forums where owners were discussing their experience 5 years down the track. Real ranges were suffering badly and I calculated that by year four I wouldn't have enough charge range to get to the city...
