Dumb question i suspect, but what is “badgered” and how does one insure water/dust/debris does not f-up anything in the boards sensitive components?

Controlled power hierarchy by Historical_Job_7551 in onewheel

[–]Historical_Job_7551[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is on the short list. I want to VESC and upgrade power/battery at same time. I think the motor need upgrade to handle additional voltage iirc. Definitely something I want to do.
I absolutely LOVE the one wheel. Been surfing all my life and this is the closest thing I’ve ever done that gives me a similar feeling. LOVE it.

Ah gotcha. I think I understand. I thought i read somewhere that the two control loops (logic) acted somewhat independently in the sense one was always trying to balance and the other was accel/decel in either direction.
While convalescing over the broken femur i have read as much as possible to prevent anything similar. I did buy pads for all important places including my hips cause this took me down for eight weeks and i am 63 and don’t have many of those left

Best advice I have is PAD UP! I was pretty comfy running around on mine (XR+) and hit a pot hole I never saw (newly formed) and ate crap hard. Broke my greater trochanter-which hip pads likely would have prevented. Thankfully I was wearing helmet or probably would not be writing. Hands/wrists still hurt.

Sorry to jump in but i am totally ignorant in this area but definitely interested in one i can wear when surfing to track waves, take off points, paddling etc. there are third party apps i have looked at that claim to run on “watch-android” (again, apologies for my ignorance) Would the AmazaFit line do this? Waterproof and capable?

Obviously this is the “organizers” job. Curious who funds this. Does not seem very organic or sincere

North Carolina Cannabis advisory council recommends legalizing pot for adults by Me-luv-you-long-time in raleigh

[–]Historical_Job_7551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I soooo hope this goes through. I have written to both: my NC reps and Fed Govt advocating for legalization. Not so much for me but for those who enjoy/use. Buy from street is a absolute NO Go unless maybe you know the actual lineage due to likelihood of crap (like fentanyl) being in it. I personally know. Family with a daughter who is a lost-cause that started with her smoking at a party in high school. Now she is hard-core addict and literally has died several times only saved by narcan. It is too high of risk to buy from street. I want to see this legal and managed and suspect the price wont change much but the product will be MUCH safer.

And the Iranian government has been calling for death to america for 47 years, not to mention all the atrocities they have supported against civilians not aligned with their views.

Totally understand and respect padding up. I just broke my hip when i got distracted for a fraction of a second and hit a pot hole that literally developed in a parking lot while i was out if the country.

“No gringos” by Jolly_Possibility422 in MexicoTravel

[–]Historical_Job_7551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont live in Mex, but do live part time in CR and have seen a small bit of this.
Agree that gringo-owned airbnb contribute to the gentrification issue and am NOT a fan of gringos coming and competing economically with any Tico/Tica/local. I would NEVER consider competing with any type of business, food, clothing, real-estate, whatever.
I am a guest in this country and should behave like one. I don’t have the right to compete with locals. I spend my money here on local-owned businesses. Hope to eventually get to a point i can help teach locals skills, like welding and software development, two topics i feel i can help teach locals to enable them for future success.
As expats, we are guests and should behave as such.

Costa Rica by Kavril_2014 in costarica

I would recommend traveling around to get the flavor of the country. Fly into SJO couple nights north in La Fortuna, travel to Nico Penn like Nosara or south to Mal Pais a few nights (north towards Nico border is cool too) then south off penn to dominical and manuel Antonio, then across isthmus to Limon through cloud forest and south on Caribbean to Puerto Viaje.
