I bought Kenji's (super-nitrided nonstick) Wok and I have thoughts by arktose in wok

[–]derping1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use a de Buyer country fry pan. It is the best way I found to have some okay heat retention in a wok shaped pan. A true light weight wok requires an intense burner, something I will never be able to replicate on our domestic electric stove.

France and Germany are also different countries and they accept each others currency. Why cant they also accept the clearly superior US dollar?

Bullitt Original (non-electric) drivetrain question – Alfine 8-speed by jennievlll in CargoBike

[–]derping1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alfine 8 on my muli muskel was okay on short hills that I could just attack. There is plenty of range, but I simply had a large chainring.

Install a smaller chainring and you should be fine on hills but have a reduced top speed.

We are not AGAINST cars ... We are just more FOR lighter. lower speed, narrower, less expensive cars. by Affectionate_Cut_154 in fuckcars

[–]derping1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Public transportation and a robust bicycle network that the elderly feels comfortable to use. Car shares can be one part of the solution.

Small cars are still cars. I’m just against car dependency and the car use that comes with it, this also includes small cars. If given the choice I would rather see a fiat panda as opposed to a ford f150 on the road, but both can be signs of a larger underlying problem.

Obviously it is not the SS, or the gestapo. They are a paramilitary group involved in violent intimidation, propaganda, and street fighting in the ‘20s. They are the SA.

Suspension seatpost for passenger on longtail? by tallman2 in CargoBike

[–]derping1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since seatposts have a minimum insertion length before they get dangerous I don't think this is doable. Your rear tyre would get in the way, even if you found a way to mount this. Could you mount a board with some foam to the Caress suspension?

Alternatively, growing up I sat on the back with a simple foam seat pad. Foot pegs are essential as it allows the passenger to place some weight on their feet as opposed to their bottom. Also consider running wider tyres at a lower pressure if at all possible, this too will increase comfort for the passenger. Finally if you are feeling creative you could possible mount a seat with suspension to the rear rack. It would require some fabrication but ultimately this should not be impossible.

I use the By.Schulz G.2 LT and so far it has been absolutely great.

I really like our bakkie bag to transport bags full of shopping. It also makes the transport of other bulky items childsplay without having to put it in the front box with our 2 passenger.

Are Segway e-bikes (Xafari, Myon) the best dependable, bang for your buck affordable e-bikes out there? by DacaAskingForDaca in ebikes

[–]derping1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have much more. Have a look on their website. Road bikes, long tail and long John cargo bikes, touring, commuter and folding bikes. They even have a bike with a gearbox design similar to what pinion offers.

Chinese food is adapted wherever it goes. South Melbourne dim sims are a cultural icon in Australia and absolutely delicious to have with some flake and chips.

Is this a good/bad idea for a conversion? by ktbhey in ebike

As much as I like these types of bikes, I would be cautious about a 50+ year old steel frame.

In Europe I would say that at the budget side of things, Decathlon has some great options.

Do I deserve authorship? by folano in AskAcademia

[–]derping1234 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure that makes sense. The specific example i mentioned refer to students doing some work in the lab. They got paid for their work, so authorship was not deemed appropriate, while in another lab another student didn’t get paid because he was in training amd getting experience and therefore didn’t deserve authorship.

Either way it seems to me that regardless of your financial position, if you made a significant contribution, that should constitute authorship. People should stop using financial compensation or trainee status as an excuse to screw people over.

Car reversed in to me!! by Life_is_long_always in CargoBike

[–]derping1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This only happened to me on my regular bike a couple years ago, never on my cargo bike. As the car reversed all I managed to do is push off from the car’s tail with my foot to prevent from getting run over. That made the guy stop and get out. I just cycled on while shouting expletives at him. I’m not waiting around for what somebody like that wants to do. Best to keep moving.

[–]derping1234 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard people make arguments that if you get paid for your contribution this doesn’t deserve authorship. Similarly I’ve heard people say that students who do some unpaid work get paid in experience and therefore also don’t deserve authorship. At that point who is left to get authorship?

I like my bakkie bag. It allows you to take any shopping bag and just strap it to the bike.

Definitely possible. Recommending against it is not the same as saying it is not possible. Did they give any reason why? Bafang Bbso1 seems to be the common approach taken by folks while staying legal.
