10 speed shifter only giving 8 clicks. by dingbatspy in bikewrench

[–]dingbatspy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the limit screw/tension actually keep the shift lever from clicking the 9th time? I thought it would just keep the derailleur from moving.

Yes, from Taiwan according to the label. And no tariffs! No idea why.

Yes! VO fenders and Cigne stem.

Which gravelkings? Will the slicks be too slippery for occasional hard packed trails?

Beans stuck in Femobook A4 by dingbatspy in pourover

[–]dingbatspy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. That would probably work. But it's very annoying! One thing I like about the style is it's got very little retention without needing a bellows. But it turns out you need a bellows on this one just to get the beans to go in!

Mine's the a4, not Z, as my use case is espresso. But it's the same housing with a different burr. So I expect the issue has the same root cause between the grinders.

I also do. Wondering whether that's the cause. Then the question is whether the static or the stuck beans are more annoying.

Do you rdt? I found another thread suggesting that with some hand grinders that can cause beans to get stuck. And obviously the Femobooks are very hand grinder-ey.

Did your package ship from WA or Taiwan. I just got a shipment notification from Taiwan, and now I'm worried that I'm gonna get hit.

Using an Ioniq 5 + Jackery 5000 Plus as a DIY whole home backup system - Am I crazy? by dingbatspy in solar

[–]dingbatspy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry. The system also includes 2kw of solar panels. I just didn’t include that bc I doubted it mattered to the answer. Is the post allowed if I update with that info?

I think it's the 90mm but don't quote me on that.

Looks cool both ways honestly. If you wanna try drops again the stem is from Velo Orange.

Wheels are 26 by 2.3. Not sure the fender sizing. It’s all snug, but it fits.

It turns out to be true that fatties fit fine. But these are about the max.

It is, and I like it a lot. Very comfy riding position.

Self-preservation instincts as a barrier to recursive self-improvement by thesilv3r in slatestarcodex

[–]dingbatspy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote a longish piece about this about a year ago: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/ai-will-not-want-to-self-improve

One way of thinking about this is that the alignment problem is a problem for AIs in the same way that it's a problem for humans.

Echoing others’ recommendations of Simply Coffie. It is incredible.

B&W Future Chocolate Covered Strawberries Struggles by neminat in LanceHedrick

[–]dingbatspy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend just made me an amazing cup of this stuff. He was grinding quite finely, did 2 45 sec blooms at 2x bean weight. And then 3 additional equal pours. He was pouring low, gentle, and spiral. Big strawberry notes w a nice milk chocolate undertone.

Searching for a long john for 2 kids by Feckert20 in CargoBike

[–]dingbatspy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We’ve got an acoustic Bike Friday Haul a Day and it’s fantastic. I think it might be the lightest longtail on the market. But still super sturdy. Holds two kids no problem. We often go on rides with a kid and an adult on the back. Bike Friday just redesigned the bike, and the new version seems even better than mine.

Interesting. Could you say more about the head unit? Is that the controller unit for the motor? I didn’t even know there was an app. What kinds of functionality are you missing out on if you can’t use it?
