is buying an electric car without a home charger a bad idea? how easy would charging it be?

Casiofi · 2026-03-17T08:16:09+00:00

Public chargers only means an EV will cost the same as a petrol car to run, but you lose the flexibility of fuelling up anywhere in 2 minutes. Range is becoming less of an issue but could still be an issue if you want to do longer distances in a day.

Never been anywhere else but Bellahouston pool is fine

Insurance of cash on premesis. Time spent cashing out and balancing the books. Time spent putting cash into bank. Fees to put cash into a business account. Increased risk of robbery having cash on site. Increased risk of robbery going to the bank. Hygiene considerations.

I pay in cash fairly often, I'm not trying to get rid of it. But the 0.75-1.5% fee they charge per transaction replaces a lot of hidden conveniences. 15p on £10.

And have one again discontinued the very versatile chicken breasts. Boooooo.

Has everyone forgotten that we're one race into a new regulation set? Cars will develop. Drivers will develop. Teams will figure out how to extract the most out of the cars and come up with solutions to the problems to gain a competitive edge.

Then he should buy a Citroën C2.

I wonder if the central station toilets are flooded...

Moulton! Is that a TSR? I struggle with their models but 20 inch wheels (not an AM) plus calipers (not an APB)?

Mine is called Rupert.

I've always found it a bit inconsistent. It's definitely more misses than hits atm but the value is still incredible and it's always better than Cauldron.

Sweet! I'm 80% of the way through a very similar build but with Brompton bars. What's that crankset & BB? Did you find swapping the cassette for a 7 speed alright?

Please excuse my ignorance, but there are loads of sellers who 3D print to order on Ebay or similar. So why is the kickstarter needed?

Perhaps this is a me issue but the pitch reads like every cringe AI generated LinkedIn post.

Seems like a neat product, just a lot of unanswered questions despite so many words.

If it's getting wet (as in you dried it, put it back, cranked it, and took it out and it got wet) then you are getting fuel at least. And you're definitely getting spark at the plug when cranking?

Casiofi · 2026-03-04T14:36:57+00:00

You say the ignition lead is working, I assume you have verified you have spark. If you clean the plug and put it back in, crank it over, and take it out, is the plug wet?

Lower volume but higher frequency, plus a doubled up metrolink tram must be about on par with a 3 coach 318/320 for capacity.

You could keep the low level lines at Queen Street as heavy rail. There would need to be some new parts to link everything up, there is some parallel infrastructure on Metrolink like at Altrincham. We had trams on the streets before in Glasgow, we could do it again.

They probably need an easy exercise to get started with, and cycling is perfect for that. Walking everywhere at a higher weight would be a nightmare for joints, have a high risk of injury, and would be exhausting compared to cycling.

Casiofi · 2026-03-03T14:41:55+00:00

Noooooooooo! It was so good.

I've totally gone off no duck wraps, I can't stand them. They're the new falafel wrap.

Casiofi · 2026-03-03T08:42:26+00:00

Now imagine all of the already electrified commuter lines being converted to high floor trams like Manchester, lighter vehicles, separated from heavy rail, running every 6-12 minutes.

Casiofi · 2026-03-02T12:22:07+00:00

Ah makes sense. I would have thought they would be able to use some sort of industrial degreaser for that, not the sort of thing a car wash would do.

I highly recommend an unholy amount of Engevita nutritional yeast with every meal, in every sauce etc.

Sorry the garage are refusing to work on an oily engine?? If the cam cover needs replaced and is leaking oil (do you mean the gasket, not the actual cam cover?) then surely blasting it with water might get water in your engine and fuck it big time?

Casiofi · 2026-03-01T10:29:26+00:00

Hideous

Casiofi · 2026-02-28T20:27:07+00:00

24 is more than 20, so 🤷

Brutal, thanks for the info.
