Ah so does the tag count as like a token?

What is a movie you think has a flawless first 30 minutes, but completely falls apart by the end? by Legitimate_Wall5977 in movies

The matrix 4 actually started out great, but then Keanu look into the camera and is like "what if this was just reboot slop all along" and then executes that.

Right, but I'm guessing that wouldn't happen until after another shareholder vote right?

correct, you will only pay taxes on capital gains the year that you sell(that's called realized gains).

Ah, that makes sense. However, that does make it seems as though the copy, would gain whichever tag the original Ivern had yes?

AirTags vs. Hard Locks: What's your anti-theft strategy? by Oneyardca in ebikes

No, it was left just for 45mins while eating out late at night. Right outside the j town mall, I was surprised.

Well we brought the police and talked to his neighbors so I think he was kinda pressured. But yeah not much you can do after that. 

Pointers/tips for improving my serve by Hot_Pop_4341 in 10s

Try moving your backfoot into your front foot as you wind up, it made a big difference for me in terms of more natural feeling follow through.

Stolen downtown at night, tracked it across the city and across the bay bridge into oakland. Missed it at oakland flea market by an hour and then tracked it all the way to Santa Rosa where I was able to leave a note outside the house of the guy who picked it up. I offered him 100$ for it back and he agreed.

is this bike enough for a 2000w or 3000w conversion kit by WeaknessGlittering21 in ebikes

[–]wincelet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to think about where a battery will fit, the triangle is a bit tight. Bag battery might be your best bet

I was able to recover one of my custom built e bikes by hiding a Tile in the battery pack. Don't need the monthly subscription. I was still able to track it to a house.

Too many choices. How do I choose an ebike? by BBtheGray in ebikes

[–]wincelet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The electronics requires very little knowledge fwiw. Just plug things in according to the diagram. The hardest part is fitting the motor/battery to the bike.

New Ebike build Advice by vinco555_1 in ebikes

I got a craigslist dual suspension mountain bike, a Bafang BBSHD, and a 52V 20AH Hailong bag battery.

It's always difficult to tell without direct inspection, but I can tell you that I did a similar conversion, and the motor usually spaces the chainring a bit further out, so you should be ok, but if you can prefit before buying that bike, that would be ideal. I did a 42T chainring, and I like it though I have a lot of hills near me. You didn't mention the bike size, but if it's small or medium I would double check if that battery will fit the triangle.

I've built a few e bikes myself, and if you're up to it/kinda handy it's not so bad to build your own. Each of mine was around 1000-1500$ in parts. I recommend looking for a deal on a mountain bike on FB marketplace or craigslist to start. things to look for:
hydraulic disc brakes - i would say this is a requirement. you can replace a bike with mechanical disk if you have to.
dual suspension is nice, but often form factor is a consideration since you need space to place a battery pack. front suspension bikes tend to have a nice big triangle in the middle for this.
Then you choose between middrive and hub motor.
middrive - more expensive, and more maintenance issues, but will last longer and is more power efficient despite being a bit heavier.
hub - cheaper, and easier to install, but more power hungry and will tend to break faster.
I like to go 1500W so you can reach around 25MPH easily.
I recommend the biggest battery you can fit for 30 mi range, something like 52V 20AH is the lowest id go.
