    My exH was a hippie living in a teepee in the woods, long before I knew him. He said one night, he got up to go pee outside (as one does in the woods.) Buck naked, of course. He was peeing away, when suddenly a black bear came upon him. ExH threw up his arms and screamed in terror...

    Ride1up is in Seattle

    I received an email from Ride1up about their bikes being available at Seattle Ebikes now. If you are in the Pacific NW, you can now try them out before you buy (and I assume buy them all assembled, etc.) I own a Ride1up Prodigy and I am quite happy with it. I've got about 430 miles on it so far...

    Need some math help

    No, I'm not in the cheese business... Well, I'm in the cheese biz only at the eating end of the equation. ChezCheese came about when we got a Chevy van to turn into camping van. I wanted it painted schoolbus/construction yellow, for visibility/safety, hence Chez Cheese. Unfortunately my drab...

    Now I look at that, and I think, so you can go 1 kilometer in 3.5 minutes. 1 hour (60min) ÷ 3.5 = 17.14 kms per hr. So yes, 10mph. Sorta.

    Need some math help

    I want to figure out a factor to multiply a "per 100gms" price that will give me the price per pound. So, like, say I'm looking at a cheese which is €XX per 100gms. What do I multiply XX by to get the price per pound? Obviously, the price per kilo would be €XX0. (XX times 10). And a kilo is...

    Clausterhaler, especially the brown, dry-hopped (whatever that means), is the best of the generally available ones. The Estrella Galicia that you can find here is in cans, not bottles, and is a lager kind of thing, not the tostada, or brown type that you can get in Spain, either on tap or in...
