And even Arizona isn’t Mississippi.

I’ve looked into it. Depending on the purchase price it could be worthwhile.

Some of the results:

The fork would be a bit heavier than the non electric version, although I guess you could sell those as well;
A couple of unused ports left in the frame/triangle;
Carrier block would need replacing;
BB would need replacing;
If you use reflectors, they’d need purchasing and installing.

Labour intensive work to remove it all, somewhat intensive to put non electrics on.

I figure it reduces fuel consumption if people can buy their groceries, books, fishing boats, garden furniture, electronics, and guns all in one place.

Best:

• Big open skies.
  
• High-quality cowboy clothing manufacturing.
  
• Quality highways.
  
• Huge supermarkets
  
• Blue Bell ice cream (when it’s free of salmonella)
  
• Soft water (though other states have great water too)
  
  

Worst:

• (nearly everything else)
  

Bunch of wankers itt.

Turns out I bought the wrong hook! Nobody has them, Brompton’s own website doesn’t have them, even with the Q code, but Brilliantbikes has a handful. https://brilliantbikes.co.uk/brompton-electric-spares/6261-advance-brompton-electric-front-fork-hook-assembly-version-2.html

massive statue of Thatcher outside the Wetherspoons.

Couldn’t think of a nicer statue to be constantly covered in drunkard piss and vomit.

Medically approved smut. They have to make sure the content isn’t illegal or offensive.

All good 😎. Tester complained that everyone bar 1 failed that day, so I guess luck had some part. Apparently the test date scalping issue is big enough to have Parliament talking about it now.

They’re a big hazard for folks working in waste management too. Disposable vapes cause double digit fires per month at recycling plants across England.

Unless you get some wanker at the gates who decides he ‘can’t let you in’. Then you’re stuck at Paddington with a frame and not enough bike parts to make a rideable bike and it’s 10pm and your phone’s about to die so you’re fucked…

Seems our replies crossed in cyberspace.

Siri used to have more of a personality but the ethics folks behind the scenes realised they were blurring the lines of reality too much for people who were treating Siri as if it were a person, so they made it less ‘human’. A similar thing has happened with ChatGPT.

Adding- For a look at what can happen without those ethical checks in place, see the trend of young men in Japan having monogomous relationships with AI / anime characters.

Supposed to be a universal textiles standard, but I’ve never encountered it outside of the anglosphere.

I realised that it wasn’t obvious that the screenshot above is from Lynx’ link, so I opened my photo app to see if I could re-do the crop.

MFW the app opens in a section I’d never seen before, called photos today or something, and despite having taken multiple pics today it only displays two: the screenshot and a pic of my sleeping child.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

How big is the cut? If +8mm or on the side wall, replace, it’s not worth the hassle of an eventual puncture.

Probably just on my phone but I like that the teddy bear looks slightly disappointed for him, until you zoom in and it looks more like a smile.

They’re made in Taiwan by a good Taiwanese company, I rate them highly. I’d wager the threads are ISO metric vs. Brompton’s imperial crap. No idea why it was so cheap, but if it’s as good inside as it looks on the outside, I expect you’ll be pleased with your purchase soon enough.

I’ve found sending them a message via their website is effective; you can ask them, if you don’t have a thread pitch gauge and/or can’t confirm the sizing online.

Where are you in the process? You have an idea, a location, a target market, a product design, a price-cost estimate?

Dunno how you managed to find the precise partial search term that works on their site, but thank you. 👍👍

Managed to break the front axle hook on my p line electric today. Called 5 shops, no one’s got one. Brompton’s website doesn’t list them, nor does anyone else’s by the look of it.

Long shot but anyone have one they’d sell? Can’t fully use the bike without the front wheel staying put when folded.

Good to see people at the NYT haven’t lost their sense of humour. (captain bone spurs is reputed to have small hands)

It’s unlikely that Florida Man and his nuclear family of 10 will look to resettle in the UK unless things get really, really bad in the US, but I expect to see an uptick in rage heart attacks among a certain British demographic if they do start arriving en masse.
