With nearly every project, you have the opportunity to do it with more work, make it less reliable, and spend more money. Why would you take the easy way out?
-
Be careful with this; I have started seeing parts just not sell at all on eBay.

Happy to mail these to anyone who can use them, we upgraded phones and don't need them. Quadlock rugged case for the 14 Pro Max, and a Kevlar ultra slim case for the 14 Pro (not Max). Both have MagSafe add-on magnets. Post up if you want it then send a PM with an address.

Tapping my finger on where I know the hole to be, you can hear it. But it seems fine. Pushed and it dented, but bounced back. Although stupidly expensive, it solves an annoyance of stalling a project for multiple drying periods. Also these thumb-size holes are such a pain to fill; kinda too big for light spackle, too small for a plug fill.

2010 BMW 1200 RT Hopefully last-last bump
SwampNut replied to Dotetcher's topic in The Sales Floor -- For Sale/Wanted
Some of usyou are getting old and showing it. -
Discovered this today, no idea how long it has existed. Everyone at Lowe's looked at me like I was retarded when I asked for it (and obviously, I'm not claiming they are wrong in general). Sand/clean area. Apply sticker. Paint, let dry, 15-30 minutes. Remove cover. Paint. Done. Unfortunately it did most de-texture the wall, so I ended up spraying texture before the final paint. Still way faster than the hole where I'm still waiting for spackled to dry.

You have no understanding of what was actually taken, and why it doesn't fucking matter.

I did a hunk of cod with a lot of garlic and za'atar, my dinner group lost their minds. Everyone said it was at least as good as any fish they ever had.

Hungry Root food & low-prep meal service coupon code

Are they totally vegan? I've never looked for meat products there. Just assumed my stuff was veggie based by choice. -
Ah, yeah, I did see that in the patent application they warn about sinusoidal deplenaration.
-
I was reading this thread as I mixed up some newly arrived Chinese peptides to inject into my body, but I can't be bothered to change a tire. Priorities I suppose. It made me laugh.
-
This bike seems to lose pressure faster than most, or maybe I'm thinking that because it's so sensitive to the loss. And it's cooling off slightly here so that may affect it too. We even had three days of winter (barely over 70). Anyway yesterday I rode at 33/34 and again felt it immediately. It's crazy. The bike is so super neutral, I suppose, that any change in carcass shape is super obvious.
-
Speaking of which, are you running a patched Diablo 3 yet? I forget that living near a big city means $25 tire changes down the street. I don't have the time to fuck around with it, so the $25 is fine to me.
-
It seems like it would take a long time to justify at $25/tire for mount & balance.

Discount Tire was swapping machines last time I was there. They said the old one just goes to the local business liquidator/auction house. Unfortunately that place is all over when it comes to prices. I've picked up a thing for 10%, and I've seen retards pay more than retail.

All good questions. Regen versus just air braking at high speed is hard to quantify. If there's a specific current limit, then the regen effort (watts) should drop as the speed drops, I think. Voltage should go down. In this case, it should brake more at higher RPM. Regen is in fact totally gone at very low speeds, such as coming to a full stop. They warn you about this in the manual.
-
To be clear on one point; I have a vague notion of why regen is less than acceleration. I just don't fully understand it. Maybe @mikesail has more to say on it. Batteries generally don't want to be charged as quickly as they can provide power. And I'm not sure on the internal configuration of the actual devices in the motor controller, but I would guess they aren't just reversible; they likely have a number of components that only do one direction or the other.
-
I have no idea why I don't have a useful memory of this. I guess because it's just such a normal function of a bike, it just sits in the background. In a discussion on an EV motorcycle forum, someone claimed that regen braking was "a lot" more powerful than engine braking, and you have to be more careful with it in turns with aggressive riding. My gut tells me this is not true, at least in a vast, general sense and probably not "a lot." It's sure to vary by bike just like it would with ICE. Motor controllers have much lower regen capability than they do power capability, and I don't know why. My bike can do many hundreds of amps of acceleration, but only 80a regen. My hub-drive electric bicycle has around 150a drive and something like 30a regen (can't remember exactly). Of course in ICE you have a bit of a difference between a high-compression sport liter bike and a low-tune beginner 650. What do you all think? We can test this. Just need to put a couple bikes side by side. TFT, do you have your XX in AZ? I can't remember. Maybe if you bring it for the LIDAR test with Mike, we can do a lot of data gathering.

I like chipotle hummus, and putting some hot harissa on hummus. This was a new one for me too. Loved it. I had a store bought hummus that was slightly sweet and this tuned it up.
-
Ok Dave, here's one for you. Try a sprinkle of Aleppo (Halaby) pepper along with the Za'atar. It's less than half as hot as the pizza chile flakes, but double the flavor.

Unlike Purple Carrot, this service is more about giving you simpler, quicker meals but still not be junk. Where others give you a large list of basic ingredients, this is a short list of nearly ready to use stuff. So for example last night I did their falafel pitas. Just put the premade falafels in the air fryer, warm and cut the pitas, stuff with some hummus and vegan tzatsziki, and some shredded multi-veggie blend. Hi - Let's eat healthy together!

The damn backup still ran, though I disabled it, and again filled the drive. I finally had a real night of sleep after riding all day, then meeting up with neighbors for a few drinks, and going to bed at midnight. Didn't see it until 9am and fixed it easily.
