- Comment on How reliable are EV chargers? 11 months ago:
Winter is upon us. Rubber and plastics get stiff and need to be handled carefully depending on weather.
Customers will break the air pumps basically daily by yanking/flinging the hoses around and then come in to bitch the free air pump isn’t working.

Per month.
Lol.
That’s a 3 session special offer 50% discount rate. You’re gonna have to commit to at least a year if you want a fixed number of weekly sessions.
- Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive? 1 year ago:
Because you forgot that Target, Big Lots, Dick’s, Amazon, Ave literally several hundred chains of sporting or general stores exist?
Definitely not anywhere close to being limited to Walmart.

You clicked on where it says They gave several examples and can’t find the list of flights?

The article specifically says (in some cases) less than 48 hours.
Right in the middle where it says "Press release with examples.
- Comment on The Apple Watch’s double tap points at a new way to use wearables - The Verge 1 year ago:
Wow, amazing.
Apple innovating to the level of my 12 year old Samsung television.
Maybe they can continue innovating by removing 90% of the features just like Samsung did!
Maybe next they can add offline speech recognition like we had in 1997.
- Comment on Cleaning long tubes? (More a howto/research aid) 1 year ago:
It’s called a a skinny snake or instrument snake and comes up easily on Google when you include sizes. Lots of choices.

Just use a snake?
- Comment on What would it take to change an Internal Combustion Engine Car to an EV? 1 year ago:
You’d better learn to imagine better.
There’s an entire documentary on an 18 horsepower compressed air car that does 0-60 in under 4 seconds.

A miracle, an engineering degree, and a lot of money?
You’d be much better off looking into the hundreds (thousands?) of interesting tweaks? that have been done to vehicles as experiments to make them more efficient.
Adding all the latest innovation to an engine. Adding a full rear axel with an electric motor and a simple “push while driving” setup. Swapping the motor for a much smaller motor and storing unused horsepower with compressed air and welding tanks. A small turbine motor powering electric drive like a train…
There’s to many ways to make a vehicle massively efficient to even begin going over it here.
- Comment on Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water 1 year ago:
Years ago they said that the screen lense from discarded projection TVs could boil/desalinate water with nothing but sunlight and discarded junk. They could literally create entire desalination plants with nothing but junkyard scrap. They never did anything with that.
I think all these “desalination” projects are nothing but worthless attempts to get free money for research
