I was not a fan of the auto bailouts. "Too big to fail" just means their lobbyists have spent a lot of their profits to buy politicians.

Lol! When the government bans all ICE powered vehicles by a certain date instead of just letting the market and consumers decide, it becomes political. And before that, they offered large subsidies on EVs paid for with tax dollars. That said, oil has a finite supply and we have to move off of...

You selected a hub motor again. The RPM of the motor is shown in the table below the graph on the left, but is not represented in the graph. The motor you selected is a direct drive motor and the first motor shown, the GMAC, is a geared hub motor. A direct drive motor will spin at the speed of...

If you choose "Show More" in the motor selection, it will let you choose a mid-drive motor like the BBS02 (they don't sell mid-drive motors, only hub motors) and the motor simulator will let you input information about the gearing on the bike...

Do you mean pedaling cadence? The GMAC is a hub motor. You can see that they do have an input variable for rider power in watts. You can set that to zero if you just want to see the motor power.

They do not make that claim. If you put their GMAC motor into their motor simulator, peak efficiency is just below 95% at just under 700 watts. The green line is efficiency and the red line is watts. https://ebikes.ca/resources/web-tools/simulator.html?motor=GMAC10T&batt=B5220_GA&cont=PR&axis=mph

I never carry water for rides or runs less than an hour, but I am probably carrying too many tools. I will have to rethink and minimize it. I used to travel a lot more for work and it took some effort to get everything I need into one carryon suitcase (and my laptop backpack). Now I can go on...

I hope you take this as a constructive suggestion and not an attack: Stop writing walls of text. I am sure you spent a lot of time researching your ideas and want to back them up, but people are just going to skim it or not read it at all if it is more than a paragraph or two. Present your...

Everyone is built different, so their preferences will be different. Mashers use fast twitch muscles like sprinters. Spinners use slow twitch muscles like endurance runners. It is more of a cardio-vascular workout.

They have them in our company cars. My coworker got busted for doing a rolling stop at a stop sign.

About 90 is where I am usually at.

Kids are going to make mistakes, it is part of growing up. The most important thing you can do is watch who their friends are and keep them out of drugs.

Yes, we speak of things that matter With words that must be said "Can analysis be worthwhile?" "Is the theater really dead?"

This is on sale for $7 at Harbor Freight. Or you could get an electric winch. https://www.harborfreight.com/bicycle-lift-95803.html

There could be another reason that they aren't building more DRAM factories: https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/articles/samsung-micron-sk-hynix-accused-143000032.html https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/samsungs-chip-division-expects-to-out-earn-its-entire-40-year-history-in-2026

It costs millions of dollars to challenge a law and bring it before the Supreme Court to get it ruled unconstitutional. It doesn't get ruled unconstitutional just because you write your Congressman or make a Youtube video that nobody watches, because dry legal arguments don't go viral. If you...

The idea of people walking around with cameras on their faces streaming data into Zuckerberg's data centers is kind of creepy. But maybe I am too old to appreciate the new technology.

That's actually a real thing you can get now. Look up Rouvy or Zwift. I wouldn't do it with a VR headset on, the sweat would probably destroy it. But Meta has changed focus to AR glasses anyway.
