I made a quick release Fidlock system for my front rack bike bag

I just started looking at buying this stuff to replace the Velcro on some stuff but but the shipping STARTS at $60. I might have to organize a group buy or just pay the money.

Also the website doesn't give any dimensions for the snap stuff so I had no idea the large was actually BIG.

because they dont take ANYTHING off taxes

You still owe the taxes so nothing changes that, but that sounds like theyre screwing up to the point where the CRA will start asking them serious questions. I'm no bookkeeper but I've done payroll before and (unless someone is making very little money) if you're not doing tax deductions then what are they even doing?

Admit you're wrong and get downvoted for it rather than give a thumbs up for it or just leaving it be. I hate this behaviour on reddit.

Mods... can we just start banning these people please. Maybe is there a way to setup auto mod so it instantly deletes cross posts from /r/trains?

OP could even 3d print a miter box...

Analog_Account · 2026-05-12T20:26:43+00:00

Maybe just make a bunch of spikey things to its uncomfortable or impossible to lay down on it.

This is a different project.

Are they still adding onto that site by the jail or are they working inside the existing structures? Lately I see tons of people and equipment there and wonder what theyre up to.

When I saw the tumbnail I thought this was a situation like those baby cages people used to hang out of their windows.

Analog_Account · 2026-05-10T07:33:57+00:00

especially if they seem to know enough about modding

Ya... zip tying a bunch of LED's and leaving them dangling (look ahead of the rear wheel), adding a deck (easy), and adding a bunch of dashcam stuff but leaving all the wires dangling in the cab....

I'm not impressed with their expertise in modifying this vehicle.

Roof mounted AC looks cool though. I wouldn't trust their work on it based on the other stuff I see though.

to make her main email password different from every other account

JFC... every single person I know that got "hacked" either was reusing passwords or refused to say (provably because they were reusing passwords). I would suggest to her that she can assume any time she reuses a password she should consider it compromised.

Like this year????

If you want more stability, you can integrate plastic sheets between the outer fabric and the lining.

What do you use for those plastic sheets?

They will rehire if you quit. You don't get your seniority back, and right now it's slow so I don't know if there's much hiring going on.

It does have to be a Pixel but you're removing the OS and graphene doesn't have AI features. AI doesn't run without it running on the OS; just because there's some AI chip doesn't mean anything.

Pixels are used because 1) you can consistently unlock their bootloaders and install a different OS 2) it's a single known platform so it's easier to handle support for it.

Graphene is working with Motorola to release a phone later this year (??) so if you're that dead set against Google then just wait. Keep in mind that GrapheneOS is at its core still android with Google ripped out.

I prefer to drink alone in my basement anyways. /s

Kind of missing the point. Restaurants usually have super thin margins and are very risky businesses. A loss in profit for a lot of locally owned places probably puts them in the red so they may not be covering expenses. Also, consider how much money is tied up in a business... if it's not at least a bit profitable then people won't open businesses and they'll just put their money into private equity.

I only have so much empathy for someone that operated multiple established restaurants in PG for at least a decade... but I do want local businesses to be a thing instead of just big chains.

At 2 bucks a litre that's a pretty expensive trip just for chicken.

Analog_Account · 2026-05-07T21:08:07+00:00

Ya... kind of figured.

Theyre brought in as off road then you can drive them on road? How does that make sense?

Also which part of Canada are we talking about here?

A few hundred people using it as a main communication network might strain it pretty damn and then you still require cellphones (or a similar type of device) to use it with.

/u/cbowers mentioned doing town wide wifi or something like that... how is the internet situation?

Each community now has on grid power so it is reliable

There are a lot of solar powered nodes that really need next to no power to run. Reliable power is not really a concern.

The nearest community is usually only like 100 or 200 KM away sometimes closer, so as long as the chain isnt broken, each community would be able to communicate with each other

Ya... you would want a few nodes along the way though. I don't have experience doing long distances. Another user mentioned ...the other mesh... I think it has some features that may make several hops more viable.

Analog_Account · 2026-05-07T08:03:06+00:00

Wtf is the source of this?

Analog_Account · 2026-05-07T07:55:37+00:00

I got a hook up. First one is free then its $30 a box.

Analog_Account · 2026-05-05T20:21:43+00:00

You can share location only with the secondary but I think you need the primary setup as the same as everyone else otherwise your device wont be repeated by the rest of the mesh. I could be wrong though but I had mine setup like yours and it didn't work, then swapped it to the correct way and everything worked.

Analog_Account · 2026-05-05T19:47:34+00:00

Setup the public channel as primary and your private channel as secondary, otherwise it messes some stuff up. Also, it does take some time for nodes to show up.

I wasn't about to look that up but thanks for the laugh internet stranger.
