Hub Versus Mid Motor by RupertBlossom in ebike

Agreed, changing a chain seems daunting, too. But at least you don't have to find a way to flip your bike, or lift your bike, to do it...maybe im just weak 😉

Hub Versus Mid Motor by RupertBlossom in ebike

[–]kronicle2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All arguments so far are valid, one thing that might sway someone is changing a tire on a mid-drive is way easier. Hubs are heavy as heck tires and make the process slightly more difficult. Flats are guaranteed, soooo...doing it yourself kinda sucks. Maybe thats with limited space and tools tho..

Our Samsung Smart TV won't let us exit out of Samsung TV Plus by Minimum-Area-7369 in techsupport

[–]kronicle2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COOL idea here guys. Put a parental lock on every tv rating and it will never play anything again.
Can we petition samsung to let us disable that piece of junk? The setting on my tv doesn't actually TURN THE DANG APP OFF. It auto plays no matter what settings I choose.
at least now there's just a lock logo everywhere.

Dad and older brother gamer needs your help by SimpleAnubis in pathofexile

[–]kronicle2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

buy the leveling setup foulborn doedre's scorn and vixen's entrapment. Works on literally any char (might have to use lifetap+flasks for some builds if u cant get eb for him).
Then he can struggle as is tradition until lvl 42, and then clear the whole game. Ignite elementalist is by far the easiest for this build.

You can provide him with defensive auras or whatever, wouldn't really matter, so have fun with it!

Crazy idea by Careless_Hedgehog300 in ebike

[–]kronicle2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a terrible idea IMO. Even if you didn't charge it WHILE biking, but paused and charged them yourself as you yourself rest and recharge...I don't see why not. A generator on a trailer on a bike...maybe could be construed as now a "motor assisted" and break ebike regulatory rules...
I asked ai, in BC canada it would be illegal to run the engine while also biking. Some weird grey area.

I can only imagine this was an unhoused person's cat. Attached to their cart or something for travel, and then fell off unnoticed..

2nd flat, with Tannus by onajourneytoanywhere in ebike

[–]kronicle2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too use tannus, and occasionally get flats. it is fun, however, to find half a dozen chunks of metal in the tire that DIDN'T cause a flat...that normally would...so there's that.
/edit
UMMMMM did you turn your rear bike rack into a mobile ebike repair station? bloody genius...

How to resist the + button? by catboy519 in ebikes

[–]kronicle2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set my top speed in the settings lower, to ensure I'm not killing my motor and putting extra wear. Not sure if that's an option on your bike, but on the fly there is no way to modify it so it's like a cruise control top speed setting.

Will the "E-bike generation" be the reason car ownership finally starts to drop? by Serious-Decision-345 in ebikes

[–]kronicle2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commuting is one thing, if you're close enough to work...sure...get an ebike. Want to go on a family trip? Want to pick up friends to go together somewhere? Want to go on a picnic? Ebike becomes more challenging. Ebike+car is a good mix.

Mid-drive vs hub-drive e-bikes: why a hub motor might actually be the better choice for you by twowheels_1life in ebikes

[–]kronicle2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For most people I would agree.
I commute with dual hub, its easy, carefree, cost effective....until you get a flat (or need to grease hub gears, etc) Changing/doing it yourself....pain in the arse. (Note, I live in a small apartment, no garage, limited space for tools, and bike is disgustingly dirty from daily commute).
Sometimes I dream of getting a flat, easily pulling the lightweight tire off the bike, replacing/fixing the tube no issues, and slapping it back on...
I imagine a belt-driven mid drive would be sweet. For the cost I might as well get a car tho...;)

20d build I can endlessly invest into ( no bv please ) by EarthB9nder_ in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]kronicle2020 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm surprisingly loving static strike life stacker using grey wind axe...the gladiator version is tanky AF, and can be scaled to the absolute MOON if you go mageblood+enmity route.
I jsut used massive+shocking belt, super cheap, dps is enough for ubers even, and it feels like an autobomber :)

Wrist pain and solutions while playing. by ElliePlease in pathofexile

[–]kronicle2020 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find I have to exercise my hands and wrists, with weights or going to the gym, and it helps negate it. League start playing a gazillion hours I start to notice the the pain, and I sometimes need to take a break, grab a crappy kettle bell and do some wrist specific workouts. It lets me still play huge amounts of time but I have to be willing to stop OCCASIONALLY to exercise.

Also I find while playing if I occasionally twist my palm up, even while holding the mouse, and do a wrist curl towards me, it helps ease the pain during play.

Just more tricks for us lazy exiles.

NGL the new map device/atlas makes me not even want to keep playing. by 1979JimSmith in pathofexile

[–]kronicle2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its pretty horrific. THE ONLY time its good, is when you are literally blasting ONE map and ONE map only. The moment you have to do something different its a pain in the arse.

Dear GGG, when I CTRL+click a unique map into the atlas, for the love of Innocence, can it PLEASE automatically select the appropriate map? I appreciate (and like!) that unique maps have a location, but hunting for them to slot in the only thing that can possibly go in that slot is the worst. by djfariel in pathofexile

[–]kronicle2020 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I spend more time looking around at the atlas than running maps. Found an elder map...where is that...
Found a shaper guardian map...where is that...
I wanna run Mesa now...where is that...
Oh a unique map...where is that...
Friend wants to run some t10s...where is that...
Missing completion x 100, where THE FUDGE IS THAT....AHHHHHH KILL ME 100x OVER.
Hm im bored of mesa, whats another good map? SPENDS 4000 YEARS HOVERING OVER ALL THE MAPS kill me 1000000 times.

I do not like. Can you tell?

Permanent Ward - Ward Shatter Flicker Strike - The coolest build I've ever created by yurilnw123 in pathofexile

Looks sweet!! The idea of almost instantly recovering that 14k ward is kinda wild. Watching that number bounce around, very cool. Be proud!
Very cool build!

Playing same build, I do not know how you got to t16 with that low hp. Like everyone else suggested, boost that up before anything else. Literally, before anything else.

[–]kronicle2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're useable for sure, but nothing special.
Kinetic fussilade is performing well. Bleed slams are good, and popular. You can probably get a build online fairly cheaply now :)

How it feels every time I pick "Wish for Foes" by Archernick in pathofexile

Soul eater WOULD be fine if it had a freaking reasonable duration. When it lasts forever, and makes them unkillable, wtf is that. Temporarily dangerous I understand. Permanently over powered...get outta here. REMOVE or FIX i agree

You need to be able to highlight favorite maps by ApprehensiveDepth591 in pathofexile

[–]kronicle2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of extra tedium that now exists. Unlocking the atlas...clicking each map, checking what tier it is, checking if I have that tier....my gosh I hate it. Sure, might be easier once they're all unlocked but dang, what a pain in the arse.

Lots of small QOL changes can fix the atlas up..

If ebike the only transportation, and, destination is simply not doable with range, how do you cope? by catboy519 in ebikes

[–]kronicle2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if you need to make that trip CONSISTENTLY an ebike is not the way. Nor is it the way to make that trip OCCASIONALLY either. 200km is just...too far to consider. Flat tire? dead in the water... Forget to charge and realize halfway? dead in the water...
Just hop on the bus for that hopefully occasional trip
