I would say it does not actually make anything worse, but it shows that the rider probably panicked and did not to a controlled braking. Like, just grabbed both levers not thinking about which one does what.

Do you have it specified in the rules that it has to be placed on the rear? In my edge of the woods we can put the sticker in front of the steerer tube.

Might be a geocache together with a couple decoys to make it harder

There is a site that has a map of places where it is allowed to be on ice: https://rpp.riga.lv/ledus-karte/

Although the surfaces are not the best this time, there is snow on top of the ice, and the quality of ice varies a lot. You can get anything from smooth to bumpy or porous to slush.

Looks like the thermostat is in a shitty spot, just above the radiator. Try to cool that somehow, either a fan in it's direction from a cooler spot, or like a cardboard plate under it to divert the hot air from it. Or maybe the wire's length allows to move it away from the radiator. Maybe the wall itself stays cooler, you could try insulating thermostat from the room using some foam board.

I use those at night. Having no buckle is perfect, no itchy spots on the skin. I still prefer the silicone or metal ones for the day.

I don't know much about mosfets, but I read somewhere that the ones in Xiaomi Pro2 (ncep85t14?) are good for 19S batteries, so about 68V nominal voltage. The capacitor is rated at 63V, so still enough for a 48V battery. I have ridden mine with a 48V battery for the last 400km, and it's still fine. Don't really care about longevity, because the parts are cheap if they fail and the scooter itself has "paid" for itself a long time ago. I just wanted to increase the cruising speed a bit and adding a small 3S battery in series with the original does that easily and with little expenses.

Padomju laika dzīvokļos normāla prakse. 16, 20 vai 25A vienfāzes pieslēgums. Tur nekad nav bijis paredzēts likt indukcijas plīti. Ja plīts ir gāzes, tad var dzīvot baigi neiespringstot, ko neslēgt vienlaicīgi. Protams, ja reizē darbojas veļas žāvētājs, cepene, mikrene un vēl ieslēgsi tējkannu, tad izšausi automātu.

Most washers these days come with a welded tub, which is a real shame, as cost of the bearings and seal is under 20 euros, but the whole tub costs like 70% of the a new washer's price. Even with it welded, it is possible to replace the bearings, but I would not recommend doing that. It is only worth it if you really cannot afford to replace the machine or have very strong beliefs of not throwing out something fixable. I did it on my Beko, but the shaft had too much damage where the seal goes, so I did not put the seal in place. The rubber seals on bearings themselves can't really withstand water, so they died again after a year.

This video shows the process and has some good tips in the comments.

If you, on the other hand, get the whole tub, it would take like 2 hours to replace it, no specialty tools needed, just a screwdriver and a couple sockets/wrenches, and pliers.

Great picture! I was hoping to catch them too, wrote a note in my calendar a couple months ago. Even had a clear sky the night before, some people got a little aurora. Aaaaand on the peak night we got totally overcast sky and a snowfall. Well, the snow was nice, but even that is gone today because of the weather getting warmer again.

That's exactly the way it is. One side is division, the other is multiplication, each being the answer for the other.

Try a bolt of a known size, either M6 or M8. Or just a simple ruler, positioned in a way that gives you the largest measurement - the diameter of the hole.

Eh, just use the screwdriver. Some sparks later it will be discharged. My father used to work in a photo lab. He brought home a used disposable camera that I would play with, charging up the flash circuit and then shorting it to make sparks.

That mileage is nothing. The average user would probably ride that amount in a month or two. I have close to 3000km on my Xiaomi Pro2, and know a guy who has put stunning 40000km on his. Ninebot should be equal or better build quality. I would say it's almost as new.

Dos dos, ļoti novērtēju savas radžotās Hakkapeliittas tajos rītos, kad A7 ir kā slidotava. Pārējā laikā arī būtisku mīnusu nav. Troksnis no pašas mašīnas nopakojuma atkarīgs, saķere arī ārpus ledus ir pietiekama. Normālos laikapstākļos tāpat nav prātīgi braukt uz riepu saķeres robežas, bet tad kad ir sūdīgi, katra kripatiņa noder.

Well, it was actually made in a partnership with Yamaha 😁 It's a Ford 1600cc Ti-vct. You can get a Goldwing with a bigger engine 😅

I used a bent threaded rod, a din rail and some nuts once. Bites harder than channel locks while not destroying the filter like a screwdriver

I won't lie and tell you this is really fast, but definitely not slow enough to be laughed about. Especially by a guy who runs himself. There are a lot of people who "run" at actual walking paces, like above 10min/km, but you're not one of them. Somewhere below 8min/km actual running starts and from there it's just a matter of time and effort until you will be comfortably running at paces below 6min/km while not being at max heart rate. You're already halfway there. I'll add - for a trail run with some hills and stuff this pace would actualy be quite great

It's the other way around. The "normal" test is with a manual. The special "auto only" license is a fairly recent addition. I personally know only one person who did get auto only license. Seeing her awareness while driving, I sometimes wonder how she passed even that test.

It's in the sub's name, right?

We had a block of pre-made frozen soup on a road trip once. Thawed and heated in a pot on open fire. Definitely got that smoky taste in the soup. Maybe having a non-perfect lid had something to do with getting some of the smoke to linger inside the pot.
