It is sad that you have to be an a-hole to everyone you disagree with. This is supposed to be an ebike forum, not a place to attack your imagined political enemies. I'm out.

Honestly, more of that kind of disrespectful crap will make me drop this forum. People should be able to disagree without other members calling them dicks.

They pay other people to do that for them.

Right, you will believe anything Iran says because you hate Donald Trump that much. The truth is that, like most terrorist organizations, there are multiple groups vying for power within Iran and getting an agreement from one group doesn't mean you have the agreement of the others: The Supreme...

I've seen the roofs collapse on several homes in my community. Both Goodwin's Market and Jensen's had their roofs collapse three years ago during Snowmageddon. A couple of decades ago, we lost the public skating rink in Lake Arrowhead that my daughter skated at when their roof collapsed during...

I live in the California mountains. No rooftop solar in my neighborhood, no AC, and the only EVs are people vacationing from down the hill. Over 7000 foot elevation. Some years we don't get much snow. Some years there are ten foot berms. At our elevation, the snow doesn't melt between...

Those canopies would collapse under the snow load in a bad year where I live. Not that you could get a building permit to put it up in the first place. "structures must be engineered for snow loads that can exceed 150 pounds per square foot"

Perhaps you get snow, but you don't live in the mountains with tall old growth pine trees and mountain ridges. Literally no one in my community has solar panels on their roof.

This is my house during the 2023 winter:
