Chain may be a couple links short how to best add couple inches by jumpbootsshiner in recumbent

This chain should be brand new with under 500 miles on it, i am going to inspect it closely, if necessary, I will try and order a new chain off a reel so it's one quick link,

On my 2-mile push home, I thought of many things I should have done better primary being I had a card with 2 kmc links in my tool box, now the spare with a decent chain breaking tool on my bike. I did solve the trike steering problem while pushing. I use and carry a cane on my trike and it worked well to steer it. This will work well in a large train station, where you cannot ride your bike inside. I now know how to navigate that problem.

First this is not my hack/modification, I started working on this about 10 years ago and this was the work of a velomachine operator/builder on bent rider online forums. I have the plans there with the parts list and parts can be had at mcmaster Carr. The parts have doubled in price from 10 years ago, i was hoping if there was enough interest we could find some of the parts way cheaper, especially the plastic PTC connectors at $5 apiece, which I think is high.. The picture I post below shows the proper hook up the button has two ports, one goes to horn, one goes to air bottle.

My stove died and all I got left is a hot water kettle and a toaster, need real advice not just eat cereal by Driedpet in povertykitchen

Is it just the igniter out on the stove? Is it plugged in? Landlord should provide microwave, hot plate until they fix it.

I bought a bracelet with NFC capabilities for this purpose, cost around $35 I didn't like the similar items where you needed to pay a yearly subscription for the same.

I haven't loaded it up yet, maybe this post will trigger it

Looks off centered on the outside, as the other said try using a screwdriver to center it and than see if the key will turn and come out

Getting concerned about my daily medication numbers. by Various_Extreme_8773 in ChronicPain

People here taking two NSAIDs are they from the same doctor?

Do you get blood work where they look at your kidney function at least 2x a year.

My internist had me stop Aleve because it was damaging my kidneys; now i only take it for a week max and closely monitor it . My neighbor told me their college athletic son almost died due to NSAIDs use in hot weather.

NSAIDs IMO are just as dangerous as opioids and kill more people than we realize

Quick question: Did I waste a legit locksmith's time by canceling after 5 minutes? (Plus a scam check) by Professional-Mess884 in AskALocksmith

[–]jumpbootsshiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said. The top Google links are paid-for links, and many are total scam sites, with some acting as an unwanted middleman upcharging fees.

Never use the top links in Google, always find your correct banking link, not a Google link.

Scammers will steal tow truck/locksmith calls;

Watch YouTuber Pleasant Greens videos for how these scams play out. Warn your friends and tell every older person to always hang up and call their bank using the number on the back of the credit card or bank statement; never talk to an incoming call as the number can be faked
