   The Norwegians say,"There's no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing." :) But more seriously in poor weather if you don't have to pedal very much and you have a "fat tire" e-bike [1] you may find it&#x2

   This article has more than a few issues. I believe I've seen recently that Tesla is now on Version 3 of the these tile's mounting and interconnecting hardware. Tesla really wants to be sure their tech is bullet proof before they

   Last year in the Netherlands more e-bikes were bought than regular bikes. And on average the e-bikes cost twice as much as the regular bikes. What the Dutch have discovered is that an e-bike is more of a substitute for a car rather than fo

   If calculus was taught with the concepts of nonstandard analysis rather than the tiresome and archaic "limit as delta x approaches zero" stuff, the world would be an improved place.

   How do you test that the "earth" connection is really good enough to redirect the current in that direction when need be?

   Bed bugs are manageable if you know that they are very susceptible to heat. They are very mobile at night and can travel 100 or 200 metres (as I recall). The strategy then is divide and conquer. Choose one room and seal it off with maskin

   It's a Murdoch publication after all. Try not to set your sights too high.

   Jeez Deng can't you lighten up a bit here? I'm trying to hit 1000 and you're not really helping.

    Alister MacLeod wasn't published until he was forty and didn't publish the fabulous novel "No Great Mischief" until he was 63.

    Here's a learning process you can do on your own at your local pool, lake or ocean. The problem with learning to swim is that there are perhaps a half a dozen independent motor skills needed and it's hard to learn them all at onc

    The problem with this is that the current is constant. When doing a long set I sometimes accent the arms and the legs alternately over say 200m. Well typically three lengths of arms and one length of kick dominated effort. The thing is th

    Even very talented swimmers can have shoulder problems from over training. That's what cortisone shots are for.

    I have known and worked with several mainland raised Chinese and there is no doubt that the schools in China teach anti-American propaganda. Whereas America does not teach any anti-Chinese propaganda in their schools. This is really kind o

    If I'm not mistaken Qualcomm recently lost the lawsuit related to their licensing process. Not sure if it's in appeals now or not though.

    The ugly part of this is that if drivers get used to self driving in reasonable weather then, in the one percent of the time (or less) when conditions get really horrible, their driving skills won't be up to the challenge. However as

    This is very short sighted behaviour on the part of China. Clearly world business will avoid the country if they feel their personal security is at risk due to political interference in the judicial system. International supply chains wil

    If I'm not mistaken a typical container ship can have over 5000 containers onboard, and in this case several were full of cocaine. That's close to "needle in a haystack" territory. I have a feeling a lot of containers

    If you got fired for cause twice, definitely not a good sign. If you got "laid off" twice because you got up the nose of your boss then that's not so bad, there's lots of jerk bosses, team leads etc. If you got laid of
