E-BIKE owners!! Did you know?

Let your batteries warm up for a while before charging them. Charging a lithium ion battery when it's close to or below freezing will damage it, permanently reducing its capacity.

This is why: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/263036/why-charging-li-ion-batteries-in-cold-temperatures-would-harm-them

HOT TIP:
Best to charge between 10 to 27 C (50 to 80 F), never below freezing.

Why charging Li-Ion batteries in cold temperatures would harm them?

Accordingly to what I've found in several sources (user's manual of electronic devices, various forums, e.t.c.) I shouldn't charge my Li-Ion batteries in cold temperatures because this would harm t...

Supposedly Dakotah Tyler was a "stupid athlete" at Kentucky in a football friendly BS major. But after the injury he went to U Cincinnati and studied a real major (Physics)? Now he's an astrophysics PhD candidate at UCLA?

He didn't magically become smart and high potential after his injury. That potential was there all the time.

Kentucky didn't "provide an athletic kid an opportunity at higher education." That's BS propaganda. Kentucky hindered his academic potential.

A girl walking.

All killed by drivers.
All in the past 24 hours in Ireland.

@sinabhfuil To be fair it is right next to the Luas
@sinabhfuil The brochure for the building says it has 320 secure basement bicycle spaces - no idea what they look like and how easy to access though.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

You know the drill by now. I don't like talking about Black history. Americans know Black history. I want to talk about white American history. In other words, racism, and the erasure of both positive achievements of, and injustices suffered by, non-white people. That's what people don't know.

Try this: Ask your white US friends what the statue of liberty celebrates.

Now ask your Black friends. Or French folk of any color.

Private cars and public transport system

Prioritisation of public transport and active travel over car use makes sense

@naomiohreally I am old enough to remember when Yugoslavia was a single country. Such a contrast now between Slovenia/Croatia and Serbia where most of the country support Putin.
@AndrewFlood Well they have just changed their minds about this and opened up second boosters to 18-49 year olds.
