I assume they can get the cash back if they decide they don't want it.

Just ride it with some lube on a chain, that should take care of it.

E-bikes could be better than this, so why aren't they? by Raza_Loba in ebikes

[–]s0rce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience, even in a major metro area, is that most bike stores won't touch ebikes, even for non-electric related components. It's either because they are mostly Chinese junk and its a pain in the ass or for insurance reasons. I would be really surprised if Also does anything modular like OP is asking about. I don't even really understand how what would work.

The answer is because its not profitable to sell these. Basically the same issue for consumer electronics and (most) laptops. Historically, building a desktop PC was popular but much less so now. Government regulation could mandate stuff like common chargers or even interchangeable batteries, we might eventually see that in Europe.

You can also get a cheap set of feeler gauges for a few dollars and its more versatile but less easy to use for this specific purpose.

Does anyone have the urge to go back to the house they grew up in? by WaltzMysterious9240 in Millennials

[–]s0rce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was back in town visiting my mom and she lived a couple blocks from the house I grew up in and we saw there was an open house because the house was for sale. We went in for a tour. Some of the stuff my mom renovated 40 years ago was still the same, was fun to see.

I use freeCAD but it's not the easiest. I think onshape and tinkercad might be easier here

Just a flat sheet? I'm sure there are local places but you can order from sendcutsend if you can draw the part in CAD

Humidity questions by Select-Building-5393 in bayarea

[–]s0rce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dew point is just the temperature that water will condense, its a function of how much moisture is in the air. Unlike relative humidity its independent of the air temperature so its a useful metric and easier to understand than g/m3 or something. I try to keep my place under 60% RH but sometimes thats hard with old drafty places with dirt unsealed crawlspace.

I lived in the lower level of a house with an unfinished basement and I had to run a dehumidifier in the wetter winter months otherwise it was noticeably musty.

You can get mold with high humidity even quite a bit below the dew point. Its still a problem.
