I remember when they changed the name to "Beyond Petroleum" and started to invest in *Rebuildables*. But they backed away from all that a year or so ago claiming it's unpractical, not cost effective, which is the truth. They used to make solar panels down here in Oz in the 1970's, good panels...

Honestly she was rogue from the start when she was sitting outside the Swedish parliament with her sign. But she became a viral meme and something had to be done with her. Like I said, she was a useful idiot for them. Politicians don't mind being attacked as long as they control this...

Well let's hope they are satisfied. A trick we amateur radio operators use with connections in open air feedlines is to put the heat shrink over it and then shrink up just the tip of one end. Then we inject silicone into the other end until it's full and proceed with the shrinking from that...

I sort of have a different take on her, they were getting a lot of heat from the public, but they didn't want to deal with people who actually knew what they were talking about so they groomed a child, one with a mental disability, and then let her rave at them for a year. Around the world...

What a mess! Some people just haven't a clue.

What was the cause of the housing breaking, and where did it break?

4 May 2026 — Residential solar batteries usually cost between $800–$1,300 per usable kWh installed. So say $1000 per kWh. One kWh of power from the grid down here in QLD costs about 33 cents on a flat rate but I have variables, Peak, off peak, and shoulder. The peak is 4pm till 8pm, the off...

Yes well we won't be asking you to roast the marshmallows will we 😁 These are off an 700cc MC. Put your map torch onto these and you'll bubble all the paint off the rotor inner. You need very little heat to embrittle the loctite and it best be precisely applied, especially in pushbike stuff...

Well not necessarily the most sensible solution economically. Here they cost over 10 grand, that's a lot of electricity consumption! Plus to get a rebate a lot of the installs come with a clause now that says they can drain your battery if they 'need' the power, so they drain it during a peak...

On MCs all of the torx bolts have a threadlocker on them and need a little heat. A tiny pencil torch is what I use.

PEN faults. Not an issue in countries that have the three pin plugs, one a dedicated Earth. A good video, the Whole thing is just a big experiment isn't it. In the beginning there few few solar panels and no problems, now there are Many and now the problems are becoming evident. More...

probably all the bikes had them. I bought a Chinese made Ryobie cordless years back and the keyless chuck would never clamp up tight enough because it was made of stainless steel. China can often make a good product but more often than not it will have a fundamental flaw inbuilt. Take the...

I'd be wary adding homemade steering dampers to pushbikes. The ones they put on motorcycles are specifically designed for each bike and have internal hydraulic circuits that allow uninhibited motion if the rotation is slow, but sharp quick movements are damped by the flow of the fluid being...

lol, it's funny reading all these posts because I leave home, go for my rides, and come back home. The bike is never out of my sight and the only time I'm off it is to drink my bottle. I have 'spots' for that, where I lean it up against a post or fence, no sidestand. Anyway it's good to hear...

Yes it's the speed that's the problem, and the sense of entitlement. I call them racers because that is what they are, once you rebrand them roadies, which was a marketing ploy to increase sales because girls typically don't like to race, then you obfuscate their purpose and the purpose of most...

I have an old gas lift office chair in the bike room and with the valves up top it's an easy job to check them. I have a little 12V car pump and gel-cell batt in an ice cream bucket there too so pumping them up is as simple as screwing on the adapter and then the hose. Why people use hand...

I was just reading up on Canada's SMR, the first being built in the West. They have just laid the 1000 ton slab for their, 300 MW one. About 1/3 the power output of their conventional ones. They are building four together with shared cooling infrastructure. Looks like SMR is turning into a...

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...
