apparently the climate has changed a bit even here in the mid Appalachians there used to be icehouses along some stretches of rivers and you used to be able to hang meat in the shade for long periods of time after butchering time was done,the rivers very seldom ice over in winter these days( not...

people are starting to wake up and seeing less need for the "demi-god" mechanics from the foot of "Olympus" and the silvery tongued sales people( on the same plane as realtors IMHO) spoiler alert-they are not your friend!

proprietary equals more junk in toolbox!( new old Celtic saying)

I started crashing my fat tire bikes regularly so I went narrowe,could it haver and never looked back( maybe it was just me) I seen a 4.8er at a bike shop and had to wonder-why? One other thing the last 4 "er I had was almost 10 mph slower coasting down a 40 mph plus hill could the tires have...

you can also buy a new motor wheel with all the components matched to go,the battery is easy you might be able to put a higher amp "silverfish" in there or hangingjust measure and buy a replacement with the same output pins(4-5) I forget what style your battery is called,my rule of thumb( done...

Amen,glad you had that option.

thanks,they will change everything within 10 yrs my former employers noted the fact that all the visibility and safety barriers and such was obsolete every few years requiring the purchase of new things,a pretty good expense every few years( things like material used.reflective tape widths, the...

I found it hard to believe people were that stupid!

the modern roundabouts( recent ones here) work great,going to local shopping and eateries if not for them traffic would be backed up into the main through fares,they have installed so many lights its better to try to bypass the town roads because some genius thought "smart lights" would be...

It looks like waste heat from data centers could be concentrated and use to drive steam turbines.

I wonder about the new wind farm at "Gala",where is the new data center? will the increasingly stressed "James" river be called upon to carry its excess heat away( "Smurfitt-West Rock" is already using it for a dump) Funny fact the air quality samples for "Covingtons" WestVaCo paper mill were...

Moore's law" like everything else will fail on the nano or sub nano level one day requiring different tech like the laser chips or gasp the "diamond" chips-remember in all this the Plutocrats ( with their lust for "Mammon") will dictate what finally happens and the amount of "trickledown. all...

while the parent company burns( too big to fail) they rake in bonuses worth millions while the parent company burns and thousands lose their livelihood.

I know a couple I cant stand ones last name starts with an "F" and the other starts with a "B" Fun fact,you can actually run a gas turbine on powdered coal( where does that leave us?)I hear the diamond chips are almost indestructible and use very little current( just perfect for military tech,eh?)

🤔 say what? these carbon based chips were supposed to revolutionize micro electronics(wait I am detecting tech that maybe had to go underground like the AG reveal back in the 50's ( tell its not so and marketable-I could see the military uses for this tech)

Where are the "diamond" chips that were supposed to revolutionize electronics?

The only place I ever seen 'posidrive screws were on a "Mack"truck and pre 21st century Ford products,take a gander at a 50's model Chevy truck"clutch heads" everywhere -yech!

"There are none more scorned then they that are proven right"(IOW-"He who is convinced against his will is unconvinced still")! I am not like that,even though my feelings may get hurt I am grateful to have the problem solved.

thank you that was very informative,though I wax nostalgic for the "Boomer" days I realize we are at a crossroad,the next generations fond remembrances need to be of being towed along in a bicycle trailer,doubled or the first nice ebike, rather then the odious debt inducing infernal carriages...

When the "poltergeists" hide the remote,its worthy of an APB search( the elusive fitting or fastner you "know" you have? throw in the towel and go to the hardware store and buy one,I had complete absence of mind when I sold( or maybe threw in for a package deal) a 52 volt 20 ah battery,when my...
