Before Chick-fil-A built a restaurant in this area, they had a food truck that passed through every week. It was fantastic. Delicious, hot, efficient, and the employees all seemed pretty happy.

After they built a location here, and after the long lines died down, I tried it. The sandwich was barely warm. I spent the weekend with food poisoning, unable to leave the house because I was pooping constantly.

I tried again at a location in California, on a road trip. I again got a sandwich that felt like it had been sitting out, cooling for a long time. No food poisoning that time, but that's the last time I went. Now I buy a few bottles of their sauce when it's on sale and make my own chicken sandwiches.

Nothing cuts weight like Flight Milk!

Nylock nuts are the way. No thread-locker needed on them.

I always keep some zip-up ties in my riding gear. If I pass a parked bike with a missing license plate bolt, I'll zip-tie it back into place.

Again, back in the Boomer era, the driver's license test required you to stop the vehicle using the emergency brake. It's called an emergency brake because that's the backup in case the hydraulic (or, before that, purely mechanical) braking system failed. Believe it or not, until relatively recently, people did not have complete faith in their automotive braking systems.

Your comment is just another myth that gets propagated among young people on sites like Reddit, like the one about how windshield wipers turn themselves on when they sense a wreck.

So, you made a long series of bad decisions and now you want to place the responsibility on me. That's not how the world works. Do better.

Ah yes, the old "I make decisions that endanger others and justify it by calling responsible people privileged" angle. Always a winner.

Yes, that's why it's called an emergency brake. In fact, licensing tests used to require that you demonstrate the ability to safely stop the vehicle using it. However, choosing to drive on public roads with only a functioning e-brake is absolutely reckless.

Am I correct in my understanding that Ukraine is targeting Wildberries because they were distributing parts used to manufacturer drones for warfare? And that these are all warehouses, not (directly) related to manufacturing?

I worked with some former Microsoft people. It was ridiculous. So much drama. They were constantly pushing initiatives that made no sense. They cared more about their weird culture than they did about making great products. I think that Ballmer broke Microsoft. His endless stacked-ranking made people focus on corporate politics and resume padding over quality.

This is tangential, but I recently learned quite a bit about hospice care in Oregon. I was dating someone who worked in the industry. She said that private equity was buying up the industry, intending to bill Medicare for as much as possible. I asked why she and her hard-working co-workers didn't start up their own hospice. Don't quote me on the specifics, but 1) a new hospice here has to generate no profit for the first X years and 2) you have to have something like half a million in reserves in order to be allowed the license to start one.

The laws were well-intentioned, but they end up being a way for the wealthy to continue generating income on the backs of everyone else. If you have the industry knowledge and funding to start a hospice, you can do it, then sell it off to private equity after a few years. Rinse and repeat. The rich get richer and we all pay for it, largely via Medicare.

Check that each leg of the stator is good by checking that each yellow wire has about 0.3 - 0.4 ohms resistance against the other yellow wires, and that none of the yellow wires have continuity to ground. If one leg of your stator goes bad, it can overtax the remaining leg(s).

Corrosion causes resistance, which creates heat and lower voltage. Are just the connectors corroded, or are the wires also corroded?

To clean connectors, I use DeOxit. Spray it on, then plug and unplug the connector a few times. If that's not enough, I use a soft, brass bristle brush. If that's not enough to clean the connector to gleaming, then I replace the connector.

Incidentally, it's common for motorcycles to barely charge at idle. You often don't hit a 13.2 - 14.4V cutoff until a few thousand RPM.

If your battery is at 12.4V resting, then it's no good. Charge the battery fully, then let it rest for 24 hours. The voltage should be around 12.8. The lower the resting voltage, the worse the battery's condition, and the more it will tax your charging system.
