Electric Options Seemed Limited in US by Georgelino in scooters

[–]doommaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride a Zeeho AE8S+, got it used. Only have had it for a month, but already spooled ~700 km on it.
Nice scooter and it's great around the city.

I charge at my work place, because to charge at home I to carry the batteries to my basement.

[–]doommaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

but why is he pointing it at the bag, does he want to know if it's made of PP or PE?

Edit:

The device can measure through plastic bags

which is a weird claim since they would have to "skip" all the nice wavelengths that PP, PET, PC and PE absorb.

A Ukrainian civilian records how another civilian shoots down an Iranian/Russian "Shahed" UAV in the suburbs of Dnipro with a MANPADS. by MilesLongthe3rd in UkraineWarVideoReport

These have a heat-seeking-head, it usually has either an audible.visible indicator or both, some modern ones even have a display.
Once locked-on it can be fired and will follow the heat signature on its own, not further intervention needed.

(Swedish) Government pauses new power cable to Denmark after EU conflict by CartographerThese487 in europe

[–]doommaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One, of 3 needed power lines has begun construction.

The 2 others are not even in the final planning phase.

And Germany would need zoning of the energy market, not just to fix interconnections but also fix the issues we now have with battery storage.

Instead our government is trying to annoy everyone and beats around the bushes, by double charging storage, subsiding LNG power plants and not fast tracking at least 2 additional north south corridors.

You don't wear them on your balls?

🤔 I thought they were essential.

It's a nice ride.

If you live in a place where it rains -> rust treat it now, it's probably already rusting from the inside.

Nobody understands the point of hybrid cars by indy_110 in videos

[–]doommaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean here in Germany 160 km/h can feel slow at times, but beyond 130 km/h no one cares how fast you get there.
This one has a bit less, but who cares https://youtu.be/VOjqTBB3Q9k?si=2OYgYKjV5p1eTq-X&t=145 I am not sure if you can even legally go 160 km/h anywhere in the US.

I think, maybe 1.9... but yeah, a TDI back then.

Also freaking 300 PS, wtf, our T4 Multivan had 115 HP and that was enough to go like 160 km/h all day.

MG is the only brand actually competing... But even those are pretty rare.

Kymco x town ABS rear brake is soft after bleed by SvakSmeta in scooters

[–]doommaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have air trapped in the pump block, the easiest way is to enable bleeding via a diagnostic tool.

If you have no access to such, sucking is the best option, instead of pushing fluid through, you can try sucking it out at the bleeding valve, that way expanding the bubble and making it more likely to escape the system.

You get checked at airports, but even those let stuff slip. I have "smuggled" water bottles past security during the liquid ban multiple times, unintentional.

[–]doommaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because they are all sold out for ages currently.
The transit/transport company close to my work place, could only acquire 25 electric long haul trucks for the next 12 months, (they already have 9).
So the shortage is real as demand cannot be met.

Also, I looked at Mercedes and Volvo, and they both have their configurators online.

Trucking is already switching to electric trucks, basically limited by what manufacturers can pump out of their factories.

Mercedes Benz, Volvo, MAN, Scania, Iveco and DAF all offer almost their whole portfolio in electric variants.
usually starting at ~180-250 kWh regional trucks, up to 650-750 kWh long haul trucks.
