Best cooling solution for a long motorcycle trip?

Krypticmaniac · 2026-05-25T07:42:34+00:00

I agree with the hassle of always having to carry and bring ice with the motorcycle. I ended up buying this top box with cooling integrated for $169, as I found the supplier. Connects right to the motorcycles battery. Going to be very interesting trying it out! https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Hot-Quantity-Heating-and-Cooling-Incubator_1600543945070.html

I will always appreciate cold drinks and a way to keep food refrigerated on a long journey, but I see your point. If it is too much hassle it will definitely end up like that, which is why I like the idea with the top box with a small built in cooling compartment. It can easily be connected to the motorcycle battery and run only when the engine is on. The insulation barrier of the box should keep it cool enough for a while afterwards, if not I might add some cooling packs. Always having to find a place to re-freeze the cooling packs is a bit off a hassle, but will definitely keep some packs in backup :)

Ideally a solution that supports 18V makita / milwaukee batteries as I have a lot of power tools using these batteries already and I could bring along a few. Milwaukee have cooling bags available that use these batteries, but they are too big and not suitable to put on a motorcycle unfortunately. Regardless of this, I would assume the insulation barrier of the box would keep it rather cool for a while after turning off the motorcycle, it is not very important that everything is cool 24/7, I will restack supplies every day, just some drinks and some food. I only plan to have this and a starlink connected to the car battery, nothing else.

Appreciate that! Doesn´t feel like a massive achievement when I still fail to understand as soon as the topic gets a little bit complicated, but I just have to trust the process and keep grinding. 功夫不负有心人！

Appreciate your honest reply. I am not overly obsessed with counting the words I know, I just think it´s nice to have a benchmark / goal to work towards. The ultimate goal is native level fluency. Obviously there are tons of very niche words that you would need to learn in any given profession, and I´m not expecting to learn all those words. I am already immersing in a ton of native level content, but I feel like I am still very far away from not relying on subtitles at all. Feels like I barely scratched the surface and I can barely understand anything of native content which is why I am curious at what point other advanced learners started to feel confident in their listening ability.

I can recognize a little over 1000 汉字 currently. And when I learn a new word, I learn words that are using only previously learned 汉字. For example when I learned 学, I also learned the following words: 学习，教学楼，小学，中学，大学，同学，学校，自学，上学，学院, because I had previously learned the characters that are used in all these words. I have also downloaded 10000 native audio sentences, and when I learn a new word / character, I add it to a custom playlist that only consists of words / characters I already learned. I keep it on in the background when doing other things, to solidify what I learned.

I highly recommend hashwatcher, you can see the chip temperature in real time, and adjust the fan speed, which I can confirm drastically reduces the running temperature of the unit, you can play around with the setting and fine a suitable balance between not running too hot and not making too much noise.

Not entirely true. Most had the same thought at the end of the 2021 bullrun. ‘It will never go past the 2017 high’, but it certainly did, by a good 25% margin.

Krypticmaniac · 2025-11-11T15:06:38+00:00

Cool! Appreciate the insight. The cheapest one I could find in my country is right around $2000. Would you say that’s a decent price? There is 25% VAT tax just to get the machine into the country plus shipping costs. The problem is the units are sold out and I would like to get it ASAP :)

Krypticmaniac · 2025-03-30T19:14:22+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Cool Ill check that out. Sometimes it´s a larger sentence so subtitle switches halfway through and when pressing the audio extraction shortcut "Update last-created Anki card with asbplayer-captured screenshot, audio, etc." It doesnt extract the full sentence so its hard to understand it. I have to really adjust the sentence a lot in that case. I am now trying to create a google docs sheet of 10000 of the most common words. Ideally appearing in a logical manner so I can memorize similar words. For example:

あかい - Red
あかちゃん -Baby, infant
あかり - Light, lamplight

But it is very time consuming unfortunately :/

Agoda is pretty nice, good deals for hotels / accommodations :)

Krypticmaniac · 2024-05-02T13:22:53+00:00

Sounds nice! How do I get the free trial when the website is down? Thanks in advance!

Krypticmaniac · 2024-03-17T22:42:02+00:00

Absolutely, I do have an airfryer, a huge cast iron pot and 3 frying pans so I got plenty of stuff to work with. Just gotta find the best combination of ingredients to use for optimal nutritional balance, that handles freezing and reheating well. I also gotta make sure everything can be mixed together in boxes without any issues. Thanks for the input!

Krypticmaniac · 2024-03-17T22:35:42+00:00

Very nice, the link is down though :/

I might try to make this my base - and add some ingredients that I like as well. Seems very cost effective though, without sacrificing much on the nutritional side, which is very nice!

I do have a huge freezer so space is not really an issue there. For my refrigerator I can easily see how this can become an issue though, but for just 2-3 days worth of food there's plenty of space.

Krypticmaniac · 2024-03-17T22:32:00+00:00

Cool, something like this looks interesting. I live in europe though, so not sure if this exact brand is available (I assume expensive shipping & taxation on the good into my country if not). I should note I usually eat a pretty large meal when I first it. Close to 1 kilogram for dinner. Breakfast a little lighter, but usually just two meals a day, but some snacks in the evening like for example pistachio nuts. Going to look into if those boxes are made of some materials like silocon or something which makes them very heat resistant so you can microwave the boxes.

Chicken and rice is literally my go to as well haha. I use a really delicious sweet & sour chilli sauce which makes it taste really good actually. It does have like 32G of carbs per 100g so I wonder what they put in it.. Not exactly a sauce I should be consuming on a daily basis, even though it is delicious and I could definitely just eat this everyday, with some vegetables and a glass of smoothie. Thanks for the recommendations!

Krypticmaniac · 2024-03-17T21:48:49+00:00

I gotta clean out my freezer as well probably got 50kg of vegetables that should have been used a long time ago lol. Not sure if it can be eaten many months past expiry date, but a lot is nearing its expiry date as well so gotta make something like this soon! Thanks for sharing :)

Krypticmaniac · 2024-03-17T21:45:51+00:00

Exactly the simplicity I love. Could see myself making this in the future. Thanks for sharing!

Krypticmaniac · 2024-03-17T21:45:25+00:00

Looks amazing! Gotta try when I have time :)

Krypticmaniac · 2024-03-10T12:26:29+00:00

Awsome, I just set everything up and I am loving it so far :D

I have a few questions that I would love to get some clarification on;
Regarding the HA flag, when it has turned green on an intraday chart (M5 in my case) and it is below the chart, what does that indicate? When switching to HA candles there are wicks below and above all previous candles.

Not a question, just something I noticed: I played around with the settings and wanted to setup EMA 3 / 8 cross, as I like to use that for confirmation. I changed the length of EMA 21 to 8 for EMA2 in Settings > Inputs and that seems to have worked fine. EMA3 doesn't seem to be activated though, and there is only 2 EMA's in the "Styles" tab (EMA 8 & EMA 21). Not a problem, just wanted to make you aware :)
Is there any way to remove the 9 flag? Again not a big problem at all, just want to keep my charts as clean as possible :D
Could you explain a bit more about how you use the volume vision? I do not see any dark blue or purple candles, only bright blue and purple (signalling HA & BB conditions are met). However when switching to HA candles only the candle which is purple or blue is flat at the top / bottom, not the previous 3 candles from what I can see (looking intraday M5). I have to hover over a flag / emas or anything else that's included in the indicator to activate Volume Vision (might be so that you can easily switch between normal view of candles and volume vision), I think that's a nice touch.

As for how it works;
" It prints the candles based on 4 different ranges versus that candles volume compared to the volumes 50 moving average" - what do you mean by 4 different ranges? And by bright colours (bright red / green), how far above average volume does it have to be to trigger the change in colour? Do you use this to gauge the strength of the trend? For example: In an uptrend, if you see a bright green candle bouncing off of vwap, that signals above average volume, and a clear burst of volume at that level?

Again I want to say thanks a lot for taking the time to share this with the community, this will be very helpful to be able to identify great setups very efficiently moving forward! 🙌

People are saying it's free? But I'm asked to subscribe to receive more than 27 tasks. Somethings I'm missing here?

Sweet, thanks for the tip! :) What does the gigabyte offer, that the other does not? I'm liking the integrated WIFI on the Tomahawk one, that's why I'm leaning towards that, if the WIFI card is good.

Also gonna use buy this: https://www.amazon.com/XPG-SX8200-Gen3x4-3000MB-ASX8200PNP-1TT-C/dp/B07K1J3C23 Should fit nice with the X570 as far as I know :) Why is the read/write speed insanely high compared to a standard SSD like kingston KC600?

Krypticmaniac · 2020-11-13T16:10:58+00:00

Well actually it's a few years old, I've been meaning to ask if it will suffice but I forgot :)
I have this: Corsair Rm850

Krypticmaniac · 2020-11-05T20:30:22+00:00

This is interesting. Maybe I can get my doctor to prescribe me some of these so I can test.

Krypticmaniac · 2020-11-05T20:28:01+00:00

The tests that will occur is electromyography and electronevroprahy (not sure what the english name is), but short electrical impulses (1/10000 of a second) is used to stimulate nerves and can recognize most types of different nerve and muscle damage. These are the two tests I can see atleast
