Aphrodite (recharging)I’m loving seeing some of the best of Weird Birdsite transition to this more fun, more weird place.

Kevin WebbBy way of #introduction I'll share one of my #projects reclaiming and giving away discarded (and mostly new) Uber JUMP #ebikes. Tens of thousands of them got sent to a scrap metal processor near my house. I wanted one for myself and ended up with several tractor trailer loads! They work great but I had to design a new bike computer to replace the proprietary integration points with Uber's app. The new model has an app too, but interfaces via BLE rather than LTE.

I imagine the designers of these safety stickers are each plotting the other's robot-facilitated demise.
Now that I have decent sense of this place I think it's time to migrate to another instance.

The "Weird Old Book Finder"
Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: https://www.weirdoldbookfinder.net/
Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*
Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are
