Things will can stick and you have to be prepared to deal with that.

Again, if you don’t use it properly (i.e. getting the right temperature) then food can stick. The same rings true for even non-stick cookware and cast iron.

A simple search on YouTube for “prevent food from sticking to stainless steel pans” will give you loads of examples of how to use them correctly.

If your intention is to deglaze, then you’ll purposely avoid those techniques. This makes SS quite versatile, in my opinion.

I do have to give kudos to my neighbour.

They have three vehicles in a narrow driveway and ALWAYS take the time to move them. We’re talking at least four times a day, ranging from 4am to late evening.

I’ve never seen them parked on the road. Not even once.

I can’t tell you how many times I see residential roads filled with parked cars (including in bike lanes), while having EMPTY driveways large enough to easily fit 4 large vehicles. I’m talking one house after another, after another.

Is it a flex, or just douchebaggery?

Plot twist, the beta 1040/840 adds like 90% of the features of the 1050, including the waze-like reporting. I didn’t expect them to cannibalize their new model this soon, but I’m cool with that :)

Downfall? LOL

Brompton has a multi-decade reputation with a legendary reputation, even with non-cyclists.

Who the hell is “Flit”?

And the screen is way more visible.

$1000 Canadian is a bit of an ouch, though.

If I catch their eye and I know they’re actually seeing me, that’s about the only time.

I try to make eye contact, especially where multi-use paths venture into intersections on a cross ride, because people ALWAYS drive right into the cross ride as they “stop” for their turn. But I’m finding more and more that the tint on many vehicles makes it impossible to even see if the driver is looking at you. So, I’m often forced to stop waiting for them to stop, just so I can continue with my right of way. Incredibly frustrating, but you’ve gotta stay alive.

For sure. I’m only saying that the advantage we all seek really only applies when others are paying attention.

When I’m driving or cycling, I can see cyclists that are hundreds of meters away. Yet, a cyclist less than 10m from a motorist at an intersection is suddenly unseeable? No, someone was distracted or impaired while at the wheel.

Lights at night.

I completely agree, but this still doesn’t fix the problem of motorists “not seeing you” when they are looking down at their phone.

I’ve nearly been hit a few times by turning cars… while wearing high-viz and reflective clothing… riding a bike that’s high-viz… riding on tires that have reflective sidewalls… while using a flashing front light, a solid front light… equipped with a flashing rear light… and riding in a slow, predictable way.

Being visible only works on those who are paying attention around you, and these days that means fewer and fewer people.

In the RC car world, I’ve heard of people having their workshop go into flames from batteries that were simply in storage… not charging or anything.

I keep mine (RC car batteries) in a special, fireproof box when they are not in use, and also charge them in that box (as it’s designed to be).

Not an easy way to do with this larger, e-bike batteries, especially when those batteries are built into the frame of the vehicle (some e-bikes and pretty much all e-scooters).

I guess anything is possible, but you are right that most of the time, there is a reason.

Realistically, the EV/e-bike industries will destroy themselves if they can’t come up with safer battery tech that won’t kill your entire family.

At some point, everyone will have multiple e-vehicles in their home, office, or parked in an underground/above ground parking garage.

If something isn’t done fast, these cases of fires will be so common that people will accept them as “normal”.

The maximum range is stated as 50 kilometers, although this can only be achieved under optimal conditions.

“Long range” has different meanings to everyone.

Hilariously so! What a fun read!

I’m not sure if I’ll be riding that Pinus, but I’m sure my wife wouldn’t mind hopping on the black one.

This makes me physically ill.

Cars are the only weapon in the world where you could injure or kill a few dozen people “by accident” and be let off without being held responsible. And it happens all the time.

Even when someone is charged with anything, it never accounts for a loss of human life. It’s always some BS traffic violation that might as well be a parking violation.

Maybe that’s why you don’t have problems with most of sites from Europe?!?

That’s an interesting observation. I’m not sure, since I’m in Canada.

Thank you. Such a shame. I don’t see the point of someone taking time to vandalize a platform like OSM. Such a waste of human life, and other people’s time.

Holy hell.

I’ve seen the odd case of vandalism affecting a few data points here and there. But this looks like millions of data points were affected.

I use FF as my primary browser on my desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.

As much as I love and support FF and the Mozilla Foundation, I find that some websites simply need a Chromium-based browser to function properly. It’s frustrating as hell.

I wonder how many people tried FF, had their favourite site stop working, and then switched back to Chrome.

Woah, is this the wild/stealth camping guy? Nice project, but just too much trailer for me.

From the article:

“He says some of the first-generation motors had experienced problems caused by water, but later models had been enhanced with improved seals and bearings.”

I wonder if these owners simply kept getting gen 1 motors, or whether Bosch is just lying. LOL

Yeah, my son was riding a Ninebot (e-scooter) through all kinds of weather, heavy rain, salted roads, summer heat, (Canadian winter cold) and that thing had at least 8000 km on it without any fail. Not to say that Ninebot are some unknown manufacturer, but I wouldn’t have considered them better than Bosch.
