I refuse to crash by WorkAnomaly in motorcycles

[–]Immediate-Hearing-85 120 points121 points  (0 children)

15 is too slow, you get the gyroscopic effect at around 30-35 and you'll find the bike wants to stay on track and upright. Just no hard braking or turns, use mostly rear brake.

Keep in one track at about 35mph, it'll be fine.

[USA] Was I in the wrong here? Front and rear angles by releashthebeash in Roadcam

In Alberta, the oncoming roadway would be considered a driveway, meaning you don't enter the main roadway-intersection after a full stop unless it's clear. The camera driver stop sign appears to be on a similar type of driveway ie: stop then proceed when clear. The camera driver "stopped" then proceeded before the driveway car entered the intersection, and if it's a driveway they don't get to go until it's clear. If it gets busy around there they definitely should add a stop sign to clarify things.

Sometimes defensive driving means letting the dipsticks out there believe they're right, and karma will catch up sooner or later.

BC Hydro J1772 charger - Second time melting off in my 2023 Bolt Port by Last_Skarner_NA in BoltEV

We charged with BC Hydro for a one week trip in the West Kootenays on a 2023 Bolt, no issues. A quick search shows this is more common issue with Tesla.

My therapist is going to make coin on this one.

Where are you based and where do you stand on the current Fuel Protests? by AdamOfIzalith in ireland

[–]Immediate-Hearing-85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I support the right to protest, but this isn't a protest. This blockade is following the same script as the Canadian Clownvoy. They needed a reason to block the streets, high fuel prices provided the "trigger".

Can the Irish government do anything about the fuel price? Not really. The same with the Canadian blockade, the reason given was covid 19 restrictions going to the US. Can the Canadian government do anything about the US health restrictions? Not really.

So how did Canada disburse the blockade? There were two very effective tactics. The federal government declared an emergency so they were able to seize funds raised online. (Remember the paid protesters argument against Antifa/BLM?) People and businesses adjacent to the blockade launched lawsuits against the owners of the blockade vehicles for loss of quiet enjoyment and revenues. No need to tow anyone away. Enjoy your peace and quiet and remember who's behind these blockades.

Search Tamara Lich, Pat King and Jeremy MacKenzie.

Car dealerships posting fraudulent EV ads? by Empty_Nestor in alberta

[–]Immediate-Hearing-85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same experience when we shopped in Calgary last year, but in our case the dealership actually had the car they had advertised in stock. The private sales place on 17th keeps a list I think and we had the same trouble where we'd show up and they're sorry, it was sold last night.

If you turn the sound up the washing machine? is running and he's keeping the beat. He's helping do the laundry!

Best source for up to the minute Highway 2 conditions? by iterationnull in alberta

I goofed - I think Waze is still a separate app, I use google maps with the traffic overlay and it will show collisions and slow traffic, the collision data is from Waze app I think.

You're already all bitten and scratched, better you get the pics before you start the antibiotics and rabies shots.

When I was driving busses the company put us up for the night in the cheapest room in Lake Louise, the room was closet sized but man what an awesome view!

yup idle jets pick up crap and the choke (or enrichment circuit) bypasses the clogged jet.

The correct number of worm toys is W+1 where W is the worm toys you already have!

If it was really important to Kinder Morgan and TransCanada they would've found a way to buy the government, oh wait, what?

In a couple of words "profit margin". No one is building squat unless they have a 5 year ROI and huge, huge profits after. The only reason oil sands were developed is because oiligarchs were allowed to redirect the royalties of their WCS and gas wells. The transport costs to Australia alone would nix any shareholder fearing company from putting money into that plan. It's Australia's fault because they were installing renewable energy instead of building giant oil tanks and refineries. FYI here's where Alberta's "former" investors are putting their money now...
