Last Mile Delivery Is Standardizing With Two Cubic Meter Roro Boxes For E-Cargo Trikes - CleanTechnica ( cleantechnica.com )

Low-speed, electrified, increasingly autonomous vehicles are going to be the norm, not the outlier. Standardized roro boxes and cargo trikes are part of it.

I’ll be surprised if TVs get much larger. We’re already have Modular wall displays if you want a theater at home, though most still use projectors in that situation.

The problem is that most homes don’t have a big enough room for a TV wider than 60 inches or so.

nilloc ,

Yeah, you’d either have to be good at meeting strangers to charge at private homes, or ready to hike to public outlets (and camp near them) if you want to solo a e scooter across the country.

They’re probably spending intervening 10 months cleaning all the embarrassing comments out of the code before the initial commit.

Republicans Flock to Trump’s Trial, Risking Control of the House Floor ( www.nytimes.com )

"The House was in session at the Capitol on Thursday, but thanks to the latest procession of Republicans reporting for duty in front of a Manhattan criminal courthouse to show support for former President Donald J. Trump at his trial, the party risked ceding its control of the floor,” the New York Times reports....

nilloc ,

Trump hired a bunch of them. Sports is (barely) more fair.

nilloc ,

HOA manger merde.

nilloc ,

It also means there are probably 7 other “brands” that need recalling because there’ they’re the same helmet.

nilloc ,

Pleasantly surprised by the cheapest Bikeroo helmet. Pretty disturbed by the counterfeit $300 one.

We bought a Bluey helmet at Wally world for my toddler when he was learning (we started during a vacation and options were limited). The glue holding the adjustable headband in softens in the sun, then glued his hair to the helmet. So that’s gone now.

Looking forward to VT testing kids helmets. Seems like something that would have already been done, since we’ve had kids bike helmets since the 80s (when I started wearing one).

nilloc ,

Yeah he’s already upgraded to a MIPS helmet.

The Bluey helmet might have actually been a Schwinn. It has I think the identical molding and hardware as this one. I know Schwinn isn’t what it used to be (I assume the name was sold off to a holding company years ago), but it still seems like they should be better than the alphabet soup brands on Amazon.

nilloc ,

We’re lucky if they get past 2 amendments.

Then after committing crime because they assumed said 1st and 2nd amendments allowed it, the learn about the 5th amendment.

But fish don’t exist.

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled ( lemmy.world )

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

nilloc ,

Here’s the link, it’s helped me out a bunch of times in the 6-8 years I’ve had it.

2 notes though

  • these are hard cheese grade metal. Don’t plan on removing any high torque, Rusty or partly stripped screws with them, they’ll either break or round off.
  • if the screw is too recesses down a narrow hole, these won’t help. The bit holders are too wide to fit in. I have a Honeywell Air Purifier with one security Torx that is 3-4” down a hole that this set failed me on.

Carter built houses for 4 decades after his presidency mismanaged the Iran hostages, energy crisis, and 70s inflation (though I’m not sure he deserves credit for the last one).

Bush is eating playing with paint and hiding from his mismanagement of the 9/11 attacks and subsequent unrelated war he started.

Devout Christian Mike Johnson shows up to hush money trial to defend a guy accused of cheating on his wife with a porn star ( www.vanityfair.com )

House Speaker Mike Johnson describes himself as a Christian before anything else. He has said his “faith informs everything I do.” He has told people curious about his views to “pick up a Bible.” His wife reportedly runs a counseling service whose operating agreement, which he himself notarized, states, “We...

I assumed that was a troll or performance art stunt at the time, but nothing ever came out, and now all evidence points to his supporters genuinely worshipping his gold shit.

Though wearing gold diapers is probably a lot more affordable than his sneakers.

nilloc ,

This analysis isn’t about the political impact, so much as the legal value. Getting evidence and testimony that will stand up to appeal is important if Trump is convicted.

nilloc ,

If I lived in a place with basically perpetually summer weather I’d ride all year and ditch a car too.

nilloc ,

Is snows 3-4 months of the year and is regularly below freezing. I love riding my bike and did some pretty rough weather when I was younger in Boston, but I just don’t have it in me between mid November and mid April.

nilloc ,

Montreal has a bunch too, Milwalkee I think, has enclosed bridges between a lot of the buildings downtown.

Boston has some between malls and hotels, but it’s really only in the touristy parts. And definitely no bikes in there.

nilloc ,

Vietnam was bike centric for decades before Northern Europe. They just did it by making cars impossibly expensive for most people.

And besides monsoon season, is pretty nice to ride in.

nilloc ,

Reverse order for me, the climate distaste I worry about with a Republican dictatorship is a nuclear winter. But that might be growing up during the Cold War talking.

nilloc ,

I automatically think your talking about RFK “voters” now.

nilloc ,

Thank 50000+ is a huge logistical challenge. Things go wrong fast if you aren’t set up to handle that.

Think how many bathrooms are needed?

nilloc ,

Maybe there were a lot of multiple personalities in the crowd to bring the numbers up too.

Or dementia induced lack of object permanence.

nilloc ,

No this is somehow weirder. He seems to be confusing movies and real people, and possibly thinking it’s still the 1980s, when silence is the lambs was popular.

Like mid stage Alzheimer’s dementia.

If it was slightly flexible, it’d be a good driving sim screen wrapped half way around the rig.

nilloc ,

Just another example of his desire to make up facts, regardless of the actual facts.

“He is young, I would say, 17”

Fucking moron can’t remember that his son turned 18 about 2 months ago.

nilloc ,

I’ve been saying this pretty much since I started working in tech in 2005.

They paid too well for a while and gave nice lunches and free lattes while sucking 60-70 hours per week out if us.

I quit and fix cars now with hardly any retirement funds and shit health and dental care.

nilloc ,

Similar in NH, but I haven’t processed the video from my good camera. The colors were brighter at 10:30-11 than later at 1:00.

Yeah, more of a facade, than just a sign.

They’ve got time, it’s more a question of how many bullets they have left.

Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles ( www.psypost.org )

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it...

nilloc ,

Mass shouting are 3+, but rifle shootings that makes news stories tend to be much higher 5-8+. And often times the rifle shooters are also using a handgun, so it skews the numbers a bit there too.

But really all guns and especially handguns need better control, permitting, and revocation laws.

nilloc ,

My text books were always brown though. Because they were wrapped in paper bags.

nilloc ,

The Weeds and The Gray Area are also decedent topic driven interviews. Except generally with actual experts and well researched interviewers.

nilloc ,

Massachusetts has had decent right to repair for a decade too. And had universal healthcare way back too. They just got legal weed recently, but like the others, cost of living is rough there. Boston, Somerville and Cambridge housing, but you’re stuck in Boston.

and was fathered by a sentient half used roll of toilet paper.

They’d all have to move north and emancipate the slaves though. Something tells me they’d be on the wrong side of that history too.

nilloc ,

I rode clipless pedals for mountain bike racing (cross country). It is so much more efficient and they have shoes with thicker soles and deep treads which makes them more comfortable to walk in.

They also make jumping over small obstacles and rocks easier and safer.

nilloc ,

One of the all-time greats

Gonna have to get Satan on that list if they want my kid pledging in it.

nilloc ,

During the eclipse in April we were considering Austin, but conflicted about spending money in TX.

We had planned out how to spend as little money and time there as needed to view it, but thankfully the weather closer to where we live was unseasonably clear and we had a great view in a much friendlier state, Maine!

Anyway, fuck Texas and the other backwards states who don’t respect women and all peoples’ rights to privacy and healthcare.

nilloc ,

And rich parents usually.

There was a kid like that in my highschool. Crashed (drunk) his dads Viper (this was the late 90s, when they were still new). Beat up lots of people culminating with kicking in the teeth of a friend of mine who was parked on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. The guy randomly stopped to attack him. They didn’t know each other either.

Macklemore Attacks Joe Biden On Pro-Palestine Song "Hind's Hall" ( www.hotnewhiphop.com )

He hasn't released on streaming yet or YouTube only insta and Twitter. Once it's up on streaming he said all proceeds will go to The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)....

nilloc ,

Run the jewels and Zach DelaRocha’s collab was pretty close. But yeah we need new RATM.

nilloc ,

The noise alone should make them hard to use near homes. High rpm spinning carbon blades aside.

nilloc ,

Stack overflow has been one of the consistently reliable googleable sites for decades.

It’s a shame Quora has strayed so far from their initial cloning of SO’s site. It seems to be turning into AskYahoo 2 fast from the results I’ve seen lately.

Bought a PS 2, Gran Turismo 4 and the GT4 Logitech steering wheel and pedals when I graduated college.

Just dug it all out to show my 6 year old how fun driving can be. Looked better than I expected even with component cables.

nilloc ,

This fits the test of their playbook. Be afraid of those big scare weak lazy liberals.

nilloc ,

Lead acid batteries seem to be less and less reliable lately. The warranties are shorter and shorter as well, which is the best supporting evidence I have beyond needing batteries more often for the 4-5 vehicles I maintain.

nilloc ,

Sounds like a job for the torque test channel.
