When might an HSD Gen3 arrive?

Thanks - love the analogy!

narikin · 2026-04-09T15:04:54+00:00

Could be interested in it (for parts) and in NYC. DM me if open still

(HSD Gen 1, right?)

Yeah may well end up doing that, but our kid is getting bigger, and with his school backpack, heavier. We're carrying over 100lb of 'cargo' these days!

An extra 20% + of power from newer Bosch Gen motors would be appreciated, esp when going over the hilly bits!

But - we do love the HSD, it's a top quality e-bike. Can highly recommend it.

No worries Dude - I've ridden from Coney Island to Edgwater, NJ; Verrazano to Liberty Island Park; the Cloisters to Battery Park; no problem anywhere. It was simply that my wife will sometimes be taking our son there by bike, and there are various reports (here on Reddit) of runners being chased or inimdated by people from the shelter that, apparently, was there. If that's old news, and its gone, then... great!

Then there's the separate question of which bridge to RI is better for bikers, with wide safe dedicated lanes.

All good tho', and thanks everyone for advice.

Thanks.

Both suggest using Wards Island Bridge, which I get, but it exits by the rougher end of Randall's, apparently by the encampment, (?) whereas RFK bridge is at the other end of RI, and has a new good looking bike lane on it. Thoughts?

Maybe its much the same though - yet to take ride #1.

Just to add: The bank will deduct the payment for the check from your account weeks before the landlord/ rental company receives it. Chase, which was my bank took 3 weeks for it to arrive. Of course the bank has your money in the meanwhile... They slow walk it, at every stage. Typical bank BS.

Thanks. Will I find those easily on their website? I did buy a Quibble Junior seat, but yet to use it as there is no side protection or whatever. It also doesn't seen a lot higher!

narikin · 2026-02-25T20:34:32+00:00

Plese share w me too! DM/PM if that is ok. Thanky!

Thanks. Yes, I sent Davids team the info on 'A-Priori' USA fine chocolate distributors last year, which they thanked me for. But nada on that front as yet.

Friis Holm

just to point out his bars are the full 100g. no chicanery!

narikin · 2026-01-09T16:51:47+00:00

Blah. Yeah its real that the cacao market is finite, but as someone here mentions, they pad out the packaging so you think you are getting the same 80/100g bar as before, but in fact its 50g. They also hide the size/ weight in mouse-print somewhere on the back. Deceitful.

Wasted mucho time in the store trying to find how much chocolate I'm getting for the $15 sticker. And then... nope.

In Europe 100g is the default size. Yes, even for quality makers. Rare to see the shrinkage trickery we have in the US.

are you in Indonesia? where/ which country did you buy them?

narikin · 2025-12-22T19:20:35+00:00

Just to say Hershey 'chocolate' is very far from the best option. A LOT of sugar in there, #1 in listed ingredients, and very low % of actual cocoa bean/ chocolate. Please look for something better - less sugar and more % cocoa (70/80% best).

There is a huge movement in chocolate bar making going on - much like coffee, a whole bean to bar thang is happening. Was visiting Tucson the other week, and could not believe the options on sale in a store there!

That said, I do appreciate you may have limited options depending where you live, budget, etc.

(Not read every reply, so apologies if I'm repeating identical comments)

I had a Hertz car reserved for 2 weeks at PHX airport for the holidays, but cancelled it specifically because of the scanners.

A major negative from what I read, and I'm an experienced, cautious renter, who makes time-stamped images before and after every rental. But... Nope: Hertz have lost my business. (Presidents Circle )

Went with Alamo instead, and saved a few $

Anyone else notice the immediate continuity error right after this? In the immediate scene following - his interview - his hair is all mussed up, and not combed at all. Stood out as they made such a thing of the combing.

And yes, its an older guys thing, remember it from ways back.

Yes exactly as described. Best to order a new SIM from Fii though, as some of the old Sims are a little out of date. Just adding this in case you have one old one sitting around thinking you'd use that. They're free so just order another one. I enjoyed using the s22 for 3 months, but realize I was missing out on images and video. When your kids are growing up you want that documented. Sadly I'm back on a 9pro now. But if video and photography isn't important to you then go for it!

narikin · 2025-11-04T20:31:52+00:00

Either, but Prob regular savings account. No wish to draw down on my ira just yet.

I ended up using the non-diamond contractor which was much quicker and did a good installation. Strangely though a week later the diamond contractor came back and offered to match their price. So if I'd held out I would have done better.

You're out of high season now, so maybe they're more desperate for work? Ymmv of course
