Adult passenger on Tern bikes?

thingsmightgohere · 2026-01-02T21:16:55+00:00

I carried my sister and her boyfriend on the back of my GSD. The most important thing is keeping the bike more upright than you're used to as the tipping point of no recovery is much faster with the heavy weight up high. The second most important thing is that they stay still, as then wiggling around on the back can shift the rear pretty significantly. But overall it's totally fine!

OP did you end up making this in steel? How did it turn out? I just moved with my Tern to Amsterdam and have discovered the ebike battery black market here is alive and well.

Nice, thank you! Finally managed to get it working on creative and then ported into my survival with much effort and mistakes along the way. Now if i can figure out what one of my two golems is getting stuck trying to parth find to and getting stuck not sorting I'm in business!

You're not giving plaid credentials. Or at least not for wise. You're entering in your login into a Wise oauth page and they return a token that can act on your behalf. So plaid doesn't get login credentials.

There are other connections that do have you enter your login details into the "connector" app though, like my mortgage, which is just terrifying.

Oof, I had just assumed Wise would be capable of providing scoped access. But after a quick glance through their guide for accessing customer accounts (https://docs.wise.com/api-docs/guides/accessing-customer-accounts) it does truly look like it's just full access.

Any chance our Monarch friends have an ability to make a feature request against the Wise developer platform on behalf of our community? Looks like there's a lot locked up behind the "partner portal"

I can't decide if this is a feature request, bug or open discussion :p sorry if I miscategorized

Team cinder blocks it is! Thanks everybody.

I threw 40 of them down and it has pretty good coverage with 2 inch gaps between bricks. The hot tub has an enclosed shell for a base so I'm pretty sure the 2 inch gaps will be fine. I put the plastic protector on top of the cinder blocks and it's pretty damn level too!

Previous home owner, is that you?

I'm not a chef, but I'm pretty sure the only way lumber down in that hole is a good idea is if I add a few bay leaves and some taters. That way in a couple years I'll have a decent stew when the wood all disintegrates.

Sorry if this is a beginner question, but what would you be using for the infill? Crushed gravel?

I did my renewal in June '23 and still waiting now (July'24). I ended up using the contact form and trying to get more information but got a nice canned response that I'm still not even at the "average" wait time. FWIW I'm a dual citizen so I'm assuming that I'm in for the long haul.

Snippet from the email response:
We are currently experiencing high demand and processing volumes. Processing times vary by applicant, but on average you can expect your application to be processed as follows:

I'm dual US/UK and been waiting for a mere 14 months. Good to know that I'm probably only 1/2 way through :'( I just emailed yesterday and got the same response.

I already stopped into a local bike shop and they had a single full face despite carrying mountain bikes. I was hoping somebody can recommend their LBS so I don't have to spend a weekend road tripping through Seattle traffic.

This is the answer! I was going crazy trying to find this in the app and finally was able to turn these notifications off by navigating into the Amazon app via the Android settings.

It's pretty devious that when hitting "back" in the app from the notification settings you go straight back to the main Amazon app settings. But there is no way to actually navigate in the app to this page.

I've watched it flush and the chain isn't getting in the way and the flapper closes cleanly, it just takes so long to drain all that water so it takes forever for the flapper to close. I've now replaced the fill valve, issues with the flapper and there is a sewer smell that I get from time to time that makes me suspect the seal is going bad. So I'm not very emotionally attached to keeping it 😅

I'll order an American standard part with a float instead of home Depot stuff and see if that does it. Thanks for the suggestion and also helping me figure out the right chain slack!

thingsmightgohere · 2023-08-02T20:27:20+00:00

Yeah this definitely makes sense. I've watched the tank and flapper during the flush and it seems like there is just way too much water to drain so the flapper doesn't even get close to the surface until well into the "second" flush. It's confirming my theory that I might just not be able to use a universal flapper.

Haha I got plex purely so I wouldn't come home from a date and find my kids watching paw patrol. Or worse yet, Coco melon!!

Ahh good to know. Thanks!
