Huh, a long faucet ad in Vietnamese posted to the Star Trek lemmy community. How in the world has this come to pass? lol

Those are great nails!

Wow, they both look fantastic! I’m envious of your skills

Thanks for posting the map! Looks like here in central washington, I am out of luck haha. Better luck next time, I s’pose!

Very cool! I had a blast playing it. Nice that it will be available to a broader audience soon

It has been a long time since I installed the M0nkrus CC programs, but I remember getting startup errors like this when I lacked the visual c++ prerequisites for premiere, etc. When installing purchased adobe software, it installs all the VC++ libraries it needs, but the M0nkrus installers do not. Might want to check which ones you have, and install the ones that are missing

People don’t like TPB because it is infamous for being packed with malware and sketchy uploads. I assume people were downvoting because there are a lot of safer and more reliable options for epub sourcing

I send them to my kindle. Shameful, I know, but it’s what I got

I love her little crossed paws. She looks very polite

Thank you! Glad you picked up on the name haha. I love asking people if it’s still the same bike.

Nah, I bought this motor from a company called Golden Motor. It is purpose-built for EVs, although this was designed for things like golf carts and not necessarily motorcycles. It’s a 3kw motor, and it looks like many washing machine motors only get up to around 1kw max, which I don’t think would be quite up to the task

It controls very well! I am never surprised by the acceleration and it responds very fast to what I ask it to do. This motor controller is well designed, it figures out just how much power the motor should have and I have no complaints.

It doesn’t have regen, sadly. That would be a nice feature, for a future revision!

Honestly I love the look of this thing, but it should have been built on a lighter frame with a beefier battery. It would just be a lot more practical with a little more range and less weight to have to haul around lol. Other than that, pretty happy with this thing!

Thanks! This is a lithium iron phosphate battery. I figured I’d spring for something with the longer cycle life, and it certainly did the job!

Oh yeah, that form factor is completely ideal! You’d get better range and acceleration than I do in something like that, plus it would look sick. I hope you’re able to make the conversion some day!

This battery is actually on the small end of what’s viable I feel, and with this heavy frame and the hilly terrain of my town, I would guess it gets around fifteen miles. Better on a hot day, worse on a cold one. I’m fortunate to live where everything is close together, and I could go to and fro without issue.

Thank you! I was very pleased to finally get it on the road.

I had ownership of the frame transferred to me, and paid the fee to get plates and tabs, so it is registered, but I did not change the fuel type on the registration to electric, nor have it inspected. In full honesty, I was just hoping that if I ever got pulled over, the officer would be distracted by the novelty of the bike and not scrutinize the papers too hard haha. Probably unwise, but it is what it is

I think they are just showing another example of steaming services being shitty, and using it to advocate for piracy

Nooooo! This is horrible news. Who will produce the weird stuff now?

That is very suspicious, I would not have noticed if you didn’t point it out
