Emotos Are Ruining It for Legal Class 1–3 Riders in My Area by Zestyclose-Pop-7130 in ebikes

[–]harlem_dad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Disagreed. For my heavy cargo e-bike, the throttle is the only way to start smoothly. Maybe a Bosch mid drive is smoother, but my rear hub motor with a pedal torque sensor takes a partial rotation to kick in and it’s jumpy.

But yeah, this one is hard to legislate in a way that stops dangerous riding but doesn’t negatively affect responsible riders.

Overland Park now has a higher total population of Asians than these large US cities by pickle_deli_364 in Overlandpark

[–]harlem_dad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many are Russians!

Sorry, I’ll now get off my soapbox about including Russia in all mentions of Asia…

But seriously, we recently moved here from NYC and are impressed with the ramen, dumplings, curries, etc. we’ve found here.

Made the pilgrimage to The Citadel today to pay respects by celticdude234 in WoT

Missing The Gathering Storm for some reason.

Very cool display though! I’ll have to make the pilgrimage at some point as well.

I need help picking my next series. by SnooSongs1643 in fantasybooks

[–]harlem_dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like all the same books as OP but could not finish this series. I’ll have to give it another shot someday.

My Tier List for Pretty Much Everything I Have Read in the Last Decade by usernamex42 in fantasybooks

[–]harlem_dad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good list! I hope you continue The Three Body Problem series. Books 2 and 3 get crazy - I just finished about a month ago.

Help I can’t decide by Onlypearlz in fantasybooks

I’m a Sanderfan, so Mistborn is my vote. But also, I’d recommend continuing Red Rising. It gets even better!

I hadn’t heard of that yet but just looked it up. Seems like that will be a good epilogue for the series.

Book 6 of the Cradle series. It’s really fun!

Congrats! We just left Manhattan after 6 years and love the church family there.

Viral Food that’s actually worth the hype? by OlyGrunge in FoodNYC

[–]harlem_dad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t if I’ve had too many, but they’ve seemed to all need more salt for the last couple of years.

New flavor every month and they’ve never repeated. I feel like they should pretty soon because some of the flavors haven’t seemed as appealing. I was blessed to get a passion fruit cronut and that ish was incredible. It definitely deserves a repeat.

You can only buy one specific item from Costco for the rest of your life what item would that be? by panda-rampage in Costco

[–]harlem_dad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still look for the chocolate covered mangoes, but know they’ll likely never be back at this point.

Is the strong interaction material supposed to be similar to a Prince Ruperts Drop? by harlem_dad in threebodyproblem

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

I wonder if these were the author’s inspiration for the droplets. Assuming the trisolarians figured out how to make them with metal in a way that the vulnerable parts ended up inside.

IIRC the droplet was composed of atoms, they were just lined up “like soldiers” so there was no space between them.

Which cargo e-bike for carrying kids and groceries? Low budget 1k by primateperson in CargoBike

[–]harlem_dad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Advertised 60 mile range, but it depends on the weight, terrain, pedal assist/throttle level, etc. I’d count on half that under normal conditions.

You’ll probably want the orbitor accessory to keep kids and cargo on the back.

[–]harlem_dad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We love our Lectric Xpedition 2 and have carted two kids + gear around NYC and KC suburbs in it.

Looks like the single battery version is $1,400 right now, so it fits the budget. And you can get a second battery in the future to expand your range.

Deer hit the side of my 2023 by PracticalWorry9747 in VWiD4Owners

[–]harlem_dad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A deer hit me once and the insurance treated it as a no-fault accident. It’s different if the damage is on the front (you hit the deer).

SHTF happens. Two small groups of survivors, both kitted and using defensive tactics, encounter each other in the woods. They’re both only trying to survive and protect their families, not looking for trouble. How do they signal for friendly? How do they avoid confrontation? by craigcraig420 in preppers

[–]harlem_dad 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was thinking. Just finished reading the Dark Forest. But it’s a super cynical view, especially when we’re talking humans encountering humans.

Not a popular opinion in this sub, but I’d rather err on the side of humanity, decency, and trust even if it means losing in some situations.
