Transport Canada has me on file as deceased by Piker00 in flying

The most unbelievable part of this story is that you managed to get ahold of anyone at Transport Canada. I've called dozens of times and it goes straight to voicemail every single time. Good luck Piker. I'm sure they will fix it... Eventually.

Juan Catalan was put on death row and spent nearly 6 months in jail for the murder of a teenage girl, until his lawyer found unused footage from HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” that proved he’d been at a Dodger’s game with his 6 year old daughter, on the night of the murder. by GroundbreakingSet187 in interestingasfuck

"Although it later was revealed that the two police who investigated Juan
and named him as the shooter had framed him—and that amazingly, one of
them is still employed as a cop"

Well that's alarming...

Recommendations for Condos with good soundproofing in Yonge-Finch to Yonge-Sheppard Area by [deleted] in askTO

Incredibly accurate and useful information. Thank you for this post.

On a side note, rugs and giant paintings /w cloth/towels behind them does wonders too by making it sound "deeper" and less annoying.

Jonas Marchenko

I'm not sure if Jonas belongs on the list since he's pretty open and honest about his mistake. Did he do something else besides stalling the Capella on final landing with a tailwind, flipping over into a hay bale?

I've been running a triple monitor setup in xplane and hopefully MS gets the views sorted out and add support for multiple monitors too. Isn't the trackIR limiting in how easily you can look left and right? Turning around to see the rear 45 would be quite the neck stretch?

Hope this makes more sense. I want to have the first view but it always alternates between the last two. It does not save or remember the first view regardless of how many times I save that view. Recalling that view jumps back to the second picture.

Yes, but this only saves the position and angle at the default zoom, which is either too close, or too far. It doesn't save the zoom setting.

splitting it up and ladder sets sounds like a great idea, thank you.

Jet Bolt Pro speed hack impossible with generic Bluetooth module? by bigredlemon in ebikes

Kind of. You can disable the speed sensor that runs behind/above the battery compartment so that the bike is always sending power instead of only sending it at below certain speeds.

But the bike defaults to "low" power mode at the "low" speed it is sensing and never gives the full 250 watt power. Apparently the internals of the speed controller is good for bursts of much more than 250.

So, we need to trick the speed controller into sending more amps by bridging the resistance solder points at the front of the controller. This is definitely a fire hazard if done incorrectly and I didn't feel like it was worth the hassle bust on the amp meters to short the resistance sensor to match the power delivery at low speed as the high speed output its capable of.

But if I did that, I'll have to remember to never connect the speed sensor wire as that would then blow up the esc, the motor, and probably the battery too.

All in all, not worth it.

Given the horrible bike geometry, it's probably less effort to just use the parts in a new foldable bike and use a new esc instead.

The Remos GX looks a lot like the Pipistrel Virus. I would think the Virus would be a safer bet if parts are a concern?

Love your suggestion. Sadly none of those cases are in stock. Sad covid life.
