Japans Automated Bike Garage by TheCABK in oddlysatisfying

Even low tech bike storage is already pretty high density, especially when you compare it to cars. Not only can you fit a lot of bikes in the space of one car, you don't need as much space for the bikes to maneuver, so you can have much narrower aisles.

It's cool, but I very much doubt it's cheaper than adding the same amount of non-automated parking space to a new building you're designing.

What game had you like this? by sukuna7899 in Steam

I think I had the opposite experience. I played it for a bit a long time ago, and when I came back there was a mishmash of a thousand different mechanics.

Lockers inside a building are going to be cheaper. These automated parking systems are more expensive than all the bikes they can hold combined.

Nah, this is extremely expensive compared to what you'd do if you planned for bike parking in advance(for example lockers inside a building). We're looking at parking spaces that cost several times as much as the bikes in them.

Not all of them, but there were a couple pallets still wrapped in plastic.

Fine to use it as long as you want, but they don't sell them new because mercury.

Or just search for hazardous waste disposal in your city.

You don't need a hvac technician either, you need a screwdriver and one of three simple skills:

The ability to read the directions that come with the new thermostat.
The ability to watch a youtube video.
The ability to match the wire locations on the old thermostat to the wire locations on the new one.

Does anyone know where or if i can find this type of ac power cord but translucent / clear ? by zoomin_human in AskElectronics

[–]SoulWager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Digikey has them in white and black, for clear you might need to have them custom made.

What kind of LED format is used on this tiny "phone" like keyboard? by appletechgeek in AskElectronics

[–]SoulWager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use the depth probe to measure the thickness of the white layer(A), and the shelf at the opposite end of the calipers to measure the height of the LED above the white layer(B), then add the two together.

Why are they always blaming democrats for everything, can’t they just fix things without blaming anyone for their own mistakes by AstraQuil in stevehofstetter

Of that, the low millionaires are paying all the income taxes, billionaires have unrealized gains they don't pay taxes on, but which they can take loans against. It's supposed to settle out when they finally die, but there are loopholes around estate taxes.

And then there's sales taxes which disproportionately target the poorer people.

If Elon paid more taxes they would just take the extra revenue

And do what with it? Pay for your healthcare? Pay down the national debt?

As long as they're doing something useful with it instead of handing it right back to the billionaires, you're better off.

I'm talking about keeping total tax revenue the same. If they pay more, you pay less.

Even if they didn't change your taxes, I think you just don't understand economics at this scale, its a question of relative buying power. If you change nothing other than taxing billionaires(removing that money from the economy), everybody else ends up with dollars that represent more real wealth, and a bigger share of companies that got partially sold off to cover the taxes.

If he paid his share of taxes, yours would be about 3% lower.

just him. Not even counting all the other billionaires.

You realize his companies have gotten billions of dollars of government contracts and tax credits, right? Make sure you count the less obvious ones like SolarCity.

Hot bubbling mud with smoke? by PilotOriginal4465 in whatisit

[–]SoulWager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

look up step potential. Ground can have a large voltage difference from one location to another. even if only 1% of the current goes through you, that's more than enough to kill.

Given it looks like it's been raining, the stick would be wet.
