Bicycle with roof
  • I could see riding one of the fully enclosed quad or trike type, but I would miss being able to easily bring it inside. Although here it would probably just get stolen, or get run over with me in it by a big truck. The other day in the wind storm I actually got lifted from my bike by the wind and the roof add-on seems like it would just have caused the bike to go flying with me...

  • Lectric XPedition 2.0 First Ride Review | Hello, Upgrades!
  • front loaders are so much better for diy maintenance and repairs. that bike looks like you would have to join 2-3 chains of the length they are typically sold in to make a replacement. you can also easily see if something falls out too.

  • Have you tried not having a smashed hand?
  • this, big time. The amount of times where I had migraine with the vision impairment on the day of an appointment, unable to drive and farther away than I could safely get to on my own by any means if I could manage to fumble through any to begin with, and nobody able to bring me.

    then just remembering which meds go to my elderly birds, elderly grandparents, and which go to me

  • Swiss Experiment Will Place Solar Panels Between Train Tracks
  • there's nothing hot about it. Its simply the tried and tested method of mount the panels in a stand don't put anything on top to block the light. some silly dude already tried floor solar panels and they lost too much performance to the protective layers alone. this looks like plain unarmoured panels directly in a high vibration location, flat against the ground where the heat off the back won't escape and dirt and snow will build up with nowhere to go because of the rails

  • Swiss Experiment Will Place Solar Panels Between Train Tracks
  • I didn't realize the swiss had people this dumb too

    Put it next to the tracks and you don't have to stop using the tracks during the inevitable daily maintenance from being damaged by the trains in various ways, and it will still be in the middle of nowhere where nobody will ever see it. Plus wiring will be much less of a shitshow and less susceptible to damage.

  • dualshock 4 mobo side socket for usb ribbon

    !1000010053

    I need a replacement for the white plastic socket that the usb/charge board plugs in to. I used hot air to pull out a drifting stick but that also heated and fell off, and of absolutely fucking course, fell into the floor air vent and went on a grand old slippy slide away.

    Does anyone know the actual name for this part? Everything I have tried searching so far is apparently wrong

    North Van–Burnaby in the winter

    Is anyone familiar with what the iron workers memorial bridge foot/bike path is like in the winter? My new work commute goes over the bridge and I'm wondering if it is viable in the snow or if I should budget for having a car by then. Also the state of the trans canada trail from where it meets the bridge to willingdon would affect my planning. I have heard snow on the roads is poorly managed in Burnaby and I don't like biking on them to bevin with so I'm a bit worried. The north van side I have already seen and its a mixed bag of both excellent and awful. Maybe its a city and district difference but I've seen atv plows clearing bike lanes and other parts where the bike lane has snow above my head height. I have a second bike configured for snow and with mid drive electric motor now.

    ID help

    Saw these while looking at apartments but have no idea what they are. they were found mostly on carpet, but some were in other parts of the unit.

    edit: after looking up the suggestion of carpet beetle I am fairly convinced that it is indeed what they are. I also saw a few adult beetles that look like one of the species found in photos online. thanks everyone.

    Reverse emmc/microsd adapter

    So I used something like these some years ago to recover data off a phone, but I was wondering if the reverse is possible in having a bga soldered adapter with a microsd slot on top. Or if PCBs can even be soldered together like that. I've never actually checked if bga chips have raised pads or something. The purpose would be for rapidly testing custom firmware for shitty old devices that were designed to be replaced without removing the emmc to flash it separately.

    Companion plants

    Its been a decade or two since I've had any sort of plants growing but when I was last trying to grow I was looking into companion plants. There are some that are pretty much ancient standards like beans corn and squash, but does anyone know plants that have a similar beneficial relationship with cannabis?

    Is there much performance difference in ad blocking options?

    I'm currently using the blocklists included with unbound in opnsense on a mini PC and I have used pihole on a pi which now operates my 3d printers instead. I haven't tried any of the other network wide options. Has anyone made any blog posts or similar detailing performance testing of different options?

    I have an 8 person household with each person having at least a phone and computer and probably some consoles or something. I haven't noticed any obvious differences but whitelisting seemingly can't be done in bulk efficiently with my current setup.

    We are all going to be moving in the coming months so I am revisiting different aspects of the home network and trying to figure out what can be improved and if anything is irritating enough in it's current state to tolerate a potential performance loss.

    Does anyone know what to call this sort of fan optimization or have any reading material on how it works or how to design them?

    I'm trying to find out what purpose this type of design serves and how they are designed but have hit a wall with knowing what to even look for.

    This piece of the voron stealthburner is the only example I can think of off the top of my head but I have seen them before in some sort of fan duct or funnel thing.

    I've been doing modding on the deck with just the deck.

    So I've run mods on a bunch of different games which were downloaded and installed with the deck alone. No man's sky, lethal company, Subnautica, etc. with generally no problems but some modding software run through wine had visual bugs but the games worked as intended.

    So I thought I'd try something bigger and install fallout ttw. I installed the base games from gog without issue, and MO2 ran fine with my overridden default of wine-ge. Even the ttw installer seems to work... slowly. I started it two days ago and the picture is now. I guess some mods you really are better off using a beefier computer and transferring the final product.

    Seven ringed fingers on hand, wow on just one single hand!

    Dall e 3 via bing. The only way I could get it to all consistently plain rings not reminiscent of LOTR was making it Sonic's hand... with too many fingers?

    Any hayate no gotoku experts able to identify a chapter?

    I'm looking for a chapter where hayate faces off against a group referred to as something along the lines of elite four. It may have been four devas/kings/etc. instead. Rather than four though there were way more, they were censored, yet clearly major characters from several popular anime at the time. I recall lelouche and the four main pilots of 0 Gundam, but there were more.

    I feel like it was closer to the beginning than the end but it's actually such a slog rereading it and I'm starting to feel like I might be wrong, and my guessing has not worked out.
