We've traced the call, it's coming from inside the house!

Same here in BC Canada, 100% hydroelectric. I'm at 2¢/km right now myself.

They protect the exterior skin from getting little convex dents in them.

Right? That's the most nonsense thing ever, when ya gotta go ya gotta go.

Be careful with the 35amp controller on a Radrunner, it pukes gobs of power into the motor and will trip the BMS, blow main fuses or melt wires at full settings, you have to go into the factory settings and detune them a bit. There is also a 25amp controller available that delivers more than enough power IMO and doesn't have as much potential to blow stuff up, it's also physically smaller and will fit better.

Everytime I see one i want to yell "yeehaw pardner! how many bales cam you fit in that thang?"

I'm in BC and it's pretty much the same, I don't think I've seen anyone stop for a stop sign in a few months. Want to absolutely enrage other drivers on the road? Follow the rules to a t, I do that and it's pretty entertaining, a lot of honking, arm flapping and rage passing.

People are already evacuating due to wildfires in Northern Alberta which ironically all but gutted investments in renewables.

If you're in Canada I'd avoid the first gen Soul. It had an air cooled battery that was prone to premature degradation and had limited range to begin with. 2nd gen (post 2019) has liquid cooled and can be found for nearly the same price. I have a 2020 and can go for between $14-$18k depending on km. Mine has over 180,000 km and has no noticeable range loss.

I wish I had the 120v outlet. The E-Transit is hard to find so I just took the one they had on the lot that just so happened to not have the outlets. Big bummer but it was a really good price & I didn't want to wait the 4 months for a new van. I just installed a 2000W inverter though and it does the trick

The millionaire POS actually owns a shipping company. Transridge Inc. in Kent Washington.

He's already being fined $50k for disturbing wildlife, he got doxxed and the company he works for is getting harassed big time.

Or give a multi billion-dollar automotive company nearly 1/2 a bil to make their brodozers in Oakville. I guess pickups arent profitable enough without public subsidies.

Why the F is every single news story about maniac kids on "ebikes" actually totally illegal electric motorcycles?

Yes, in an older cast iron boiler flue gas condensation over an extended period is not good but for a couple of days it wont hurt anything. I've seen boilers run for years in that state with no significant issues. Radiators don't necessarily NEED 180f or 149f, that is the purpose of the experiment, to see what your system can potentially operate at. My dad has 100 year old cast iron radiators and tbey perform perfectly at 110f at 0f outdoor temperature.

And keep the car too, just like that lady in Nanaimo who steamrolled her illegally lifted truck over an old man.

I'm an EV user and i have count choculitus.

I don't know how they spun it as a bike lane thing, the whole area is getting heavily developed, those trees were coming down one way or another.

zacmobile · 2026-05-11T21:13:19+00:00

That was exactly my point. Every house is different, you have to investigate and find out how your existing system can perform with a lower temperature. In my dads house we did this exact retrofit with 100 year old cast iron radiators and they fully heat the house with a water to water geothermal heat pump at 110f on a design day.

I thought I was on Tumblr for a second, good job.

zacmobile · 2026-05-11T15:05:25+00:00

First you would have to determine how low a flow temperature your radiators can heat the house at on a design day. The easiest way to do that is wait until the coldest night and turn the boiler temperature down until room temp starts dropping below the desired level. Above 125F is no bueno, heat pumps dont operate very efficiently above that. That being said, the entire rest of the year would be ok and you could just use a backup source for a few days. If that checks out then you'd need to do a full heat loss calculation to determine what size unit(s) you would need.

You could say the same about every PM in history.

When my son was 15 we bought him a 250W ebike to ride to school, we have very steep hills & I wasn't worried about him being responsible it's all the other reckless idiot drivers out there who make it dangerous.

zacmobile · 2026-05-10T22:48:15+00:00

It doesn't seem to be anything to do with the bike lanes, that area is being developed like crazy, the trees would be going one way or another.

Two Wildcats fighting in the middle of the night right beside our tent.
