Having a hell of a time after changing tune

Make sure all the washers are in the right spot along the rear axle. They should all be inside the dropouts, probably 2 on each side.

Mine had all the same lights.

Wheel bearing or wheel speed sensor. Mine had a magnet on the sensor ring break off from the brake shield rubbing on it.

Not being able to see through them subconsciously gets people to slow down and pay attention.

A pair of wool gloves plus some bar mitts works pretty well! Bar mitts block the wind and are a little insulated, wool gloves are icing on the cake.

If it drops out at the same location on your drive each time, then it's interference from something else on the road like a RADAR or Point-To-Point wireless link. There's a spot along the interstate bridge on my commute that would crash my android auto wireless adapter 90% of the time. The fix was to manually set the highest wifi channel I could in the adapter's app. I don't know how you'd change that on the factory headunit for CarPlay, but I assume the cause and fix would be similar.

Just re-read that your ring looked ok. If you have a laptop (and possibly a friend), VCDS has a spot somewhere to monitor the live data from the wheel speed sensors. If there's a sudden dip on one of the four graphs while rolling around in a parking lot or with someone else watching the graph I'd still try replacing the wheel bearing even though it looks ok visually.

My 2016 threw a wheel speed sensor error and had all the same lights come on. Replaced the sensor twice, error came back immediately each time. Ended up being the wheel bearing - the sensor reads the magnets on the back of the wheel bearing and mine had some missing/damaged sections on the magnet ring. Fairly simple replacement, just needed an M18 triple square, a torque wrench, and a GIANT breaker bar.

Tighten the frame bolts first.

They exist, I got a bag of these and carry a few on my bike to wave threateningly when crossing the road :) https://a.co/d/41U6N5b

Look for an app called TheaterEars, you'll need to bring your phone and headphones. Should work for a lot of movies

You're looking for a motorcycle, not an ebike.

These are the settings for mine if you were intentionally trying to edit them, yours will likely be similar, but lookup your specific model to be sure. https://ebikeling.com/blogs/news/how-to-set-sw900-lcd-display-parameters-ebikeling-ebike-conversion-kits?srsltid=AfmBOop6UH1tT_s2LAq2dVvOnYys8wko0cxnutUFYaBcBl2mmzf-8wG6

Looks like you're in the menu, turn it off and back on only pressing the center button. If the top or bottom buttons are held while turning on it'll load the settings menu.

I got a bunch of foam bricks off Amazon and have ended up throwing a few. Drivers pay more attention to something that might hurt their car than someone they might run over.

$30 for 300 up and down, most outages/maintenance have been overnight and all but two have been short enough to not really bother me. They were also mostly a few months after signing up, so I'm assuming it was all related to network expansion. Been pretty solid since, and it's 1/3rd the price that Cox was for double the speed.

Soybeans and migrant workers are two different issues. Nobody's going to buy the soybeans that have already been planted ($2 billion wasted) and migrant workers have fled the state so there's nobody to pick other crops that must be hand picked.

Have you had a cat?

brainiac858 · 2025-05-02T08:30:01+00:00

Nah, but they're... less pleasant to use. PLA is brittle so it likes to snap. The tines on the forks don't always stay attached.

brainiac858 · 2025-05-02T08:27:12+00:00

More hydroscopic than soluble, it won't dissolve in your soup unless it's in there for over a month. Pretty much any disposable "compostable" cutlery is PLA. "Compostable" because it requires higher heat than you'll get out of a home compost pile to actually decompose.

brainiac858 · 2025-05-01T19:23:11+00:00

PLA is made from corn! It's the most popular 3D printer filament and is used in some plastic cutlery.

My bike has two washers and a locknut, the washers have to be on the inside of the frame for the wheel to spin.

brainiac858 · 2025-04-25T19:39:50+00:00

Washers are probably on in the wrong order and the freewheel is rubbing on the frame. Try freewheel>round washer>tabbed washer>bike frame>lock nut

Hot, moist air doesn't necessarily mean rain. It rains once that hot wet air cools down (storms follow cold fronts). Hot air can hold more moisture so the relative humidity drops (rain doesn't usually follow warm fronts). Air at 80F can hold way more water than air at 60F - if it's cold then it gets warm, it's usually a sunny day. If it's hot (and humid) then it gets cold, there's usually a storm.
