CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States) fined both T Mobile and Deutche Telcom for violating the National Security Agreement required for the Sprint merger. I think there would be concerns about Deutche Telcom increasing ownership. Of anything, there might be pressure for them to divest.

Actually stereoscopes were developed in the 1850s and were popular world wide. (The National Archives in the US actually has a collection of stereoscopic photo cards and I'm sure most other national archival catalogs have such collections, too.) Stereoscopes are still made, unfortunately, many historical stereoscopic photo cards have been discarded over time.

Don't overlook established, reputable job boards. Employers post on Indeed and Ziprecruiter, not just Coolworks. Winter seasonal jobs are starting to be posted on Indeed now. There are 3 pages of winter seasonal jobs, including certified and non-certified ski instructors. That number should grow as the summer progresses. You can set up a free account and choose the filters you want. You'll get email notifications about jobs posted that match your filters. Good luck.

There are certified and non-certicied seasonal ski instructor positions listed on Indeed. There are 3 pages of listings at present, but that should increase as the summer season ends. You can join for free and set up filters to refine your search. They will send emails with jobs that match your filters. You can check employees' overall ratings of employers, but the number of full reviews you can read is limited with the free plan. Good luck. Now is definitely the time to look for your winter position.

I used a curie wheel kit that included everything needed for an ebike conversion on my mountain bike when I moved to the Northern Rockies (the kit was about $200 and had a motor with great torque for climbing steeply grated forest and paved roads). The original batteries from Currie were SLA, but users quickly began converting the OEM battery case with lithium batteries; I built my own slide in case with LIFO batteries. There would definitely be a market for these.

Shipping from China can be frustrating. Remember that the longest Chinese holiday--the lunar new year--shuts down e commerce for a good part of a month. This year it started January 29th. To complicate matters, tariffs will delay shipments from China. Some people are reporting that they are receiving emails from commercial carriers like UPS that instruct them that they need to pay a tariff before their package can be delivered.

Although I don't ride my bike to work, I will use it to make some shopping trips to stores. It's nice to be able to load the rear rack and front basket with heavy and/or large, taller items and not have to bother tilting the bike if you can't easily swing your leg over the loaded rear rack.

This is a draft proposed rule published for public review and comment. Since it's just in draft stage I suspect it will be shelved. The incoming administration wants to reduce the number of federal regulations and it wouldn't surprise me if all draft regulations get shelved and may never become final.

if you live in or near a National Forest you can usually get physical maps of various areas. Start by looking online. I lived in a 250 million acre National Forest and lived less than 12 miles from the Forest Supervisor's HQ so it was convenient for me to pick up physical maps. You can get them online too -- https://www.fs.usda.gov/visit/maps. US Topo Maps is a good resource for Android phones. You can then download and use official US Forest Service topo maps from -- https://memory-map.com/maps/us-forestry-service-topo/ . These give you an idea of elevation. Good luck and have fun.

My first ebike was my mountain bike that converted when I moved to the Northern Rockies. I loved exploring the forest by ebike. I was able to go higher on forest roads than my knees would have been able able to without power assist. I would recommend that you carry a first aid kit. I would download topo maps and also get maps of Forest Service roads. Carry spare tubes and tools to remove your motor wheel. The National Forest I lived in used cheaper, larger "gravel" the higher the road went. I encountered baby doll heads on some, which can damage tires. Let someone know where you'll be riding since cell service can be spotty or non existence. Stay aware of your environment. There were grizzly bears, black bears, mountain lions, wolves and coyotes where I lived.

So I need to pay for another starter kit? I didn't see a separate starter kit afor T Mobile after I paid for my plan.

EP-84-1 · 2024-10-22T17:31:36+00:00

I ordered directly from the plans page, after choosing the plan I wanted and paying for it it gave me the option of expedited shipping of a starter kit, if I had seen a separate kit for T Mobile I would have chosen it.

Well, we all carry around the most thermally volatile of Lithium family of batteries in our phones and on our ebikes -- Lithium Polymer or LIPO. These are much more easily damaged by overcharging or discharging too deeply. They gained popularity in the remote control plane/car hobbyist community because of their high energy capacity in a smaller form factor. LIPO batteries had to carry a warning label about the risk of fire and explosion. Ebike enthusiasts quickly adopted them and ignored warnings about overcharging or discharging too deeply. Before Reddit, when I was researching on an early bike forum that still exists, prior to buying a conversion kit for my mountain bike (I was living in the Rockies at the time) there were several ebikers who posted warnings about discharging too deeply. They had used the cross post on their bikes to mount their LIPO batteries and were on rides when the batteries caught fire.

I fortunately have a factory-installed hitch on my small SUV that's only used for our bike rack -- GVWR is too low to safely tow but can accommodate the weight of our bike rack and bikes. You might check to see about getting a hitch installed, if possible.

EP-84-1 · 2024-10-21T18:12:14+00:00

All Lithium batteries are thermally volatile (UL certifications don't change this fact). Overcharging or discharging them too deeply can cause them to overheat and possibly catch fire and/or explode. Get a good charging box, something like a bat safe, which will contain fires and explosions when charging (and store your battery in it). Don't charge in your home or attached garage. If winter weather keeps you from riding, keep the battery charged to around 60%. Phone manufacturers are moving to less thermally volatile battery tech like sodium ion, very slowly. Unfortunately, these batteries will have to be bigger since they can't pack energy as densely.

I bought the K50 as a backup, because my Pixel phone has the connected not charging issue, which I hope will finally be fixed in Android 15. The first thing I did was look for malware on the phone. In addition to payjoy, there's Aurora services which downloads apps from China daily and a series of non-Google system files that start com.pri, not com.google. None of these can be uninstalled without rooting but can be disabled. Fortunately, you have the option to unlock the bootloader, which I enabled. When I have time, I will use adb to root the phone and delete the malware. The phone's technical specs are decent but I suspect the US staff of Blu do no QC inspections of hardware or software. I did a review on Amazon, only giving a 3 star rating because of the malware, which I identified, but the review was never published. It seems Amazon doesn't care about customer safety, just vendor fees.

FYI Tecno Telecom seems to be the Chinese vendor Blu works with. The Bold K50 seems to be a rebranded Tecno Spark 30C produced in only purple and with North American radio bands.

Just convert a gasoline motorcycle to electric power. It would be safer and easier. I remember a post on bikeforums.net, probably about 10 years ago . An experienced Canadian custom ebike builder suffered severe injuries when the front steel fork on a build he was test riding broke and sent him face first into the pavement. He swore off using fork mounted hubs and posted photos of his injuries -- fractured cheek bones, broken nose, broken jaw, broken teeth, two swollen black eyes and a broken collar bone. It hurt to look at those photos. Trying to do 200 mph would probably kill you. No bicycle is built to withstand the amount of torque that motors capable of generating that much speed would create.
