I took my electric dirtbike project out for a spin last with my 360 camera on it. I also had some ahem bust enhancers on. The camera angle plus the lens distortion made me look thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. I had that Mrs. Incredible figure. Needless to say it’s now my favorite video of myself now.

Is there an option to respec this build?

How many years do I need to take hrt before I get good at programming? I wrote some Java script to hopefully automate the mindless data entry I need to do for my job and the code works ok but I want to know how long on hrt before I get really good at it?

Thanks! Im really happy with how the build has come along. I’ve been planning accumulating parts for it for almost a year. And it’s finally all together and working.

I really want to build a bicycle next. The problem is that the temptation to make something over powered is too great. I’ve had friends tell me that having an ebike actually helped them lose weight because it made it easier to go for a ride. Which encouraged them to ride more.

I did kinda under sell it hahaha the battery is 70AH. It is 72v and rated at 420amps continuous and 800amps boost for 15secs. I’m hoping for around 50 miles of useable range. My goal is to use it for all my in town commuting. Building it has been the medium through which I’ve been touching grass for the last few months.

I haven’t been talking about it here because it’s quasi-doxxable since I’m pretty sure I’m the only person doing this swap into this bike. The bike is super rare, maybe only a few dozen left in the world.

I have an old late 70s dirt bike I’ve swapped to electric and made it street legal. It makes around 30kw right now. It’s 72v running 400a line and 1000a phase. I’ll eventually turn it up to 800a line and 1800a phase once I finish the water cooling loop.

In honor of pride month I started listening to an audiobook called Dreadnought. It’s about a trans girl who inherits superpowers and it’s really good. I usually only listen to books at work but I ended up listening to it at home while working on my ebike project. I just started book 2 last night and I’m already a few hours into it.

It just dawned on me that my 2 year transiversery for starting hrt was yesterday. It also just dawned on me I’m like 3 days late this week on my shot.

We’ve had an unseasonably high amount of tornadoes here in the upper Midwest where I reside. Like, we’ve had 5 close to my house since the beginning of march.

It’s because molotovs are classified as a destructive device, like a hand grenade or improvised explosive. So therefore they are regulated like any other weapon. You can actually legally make them if you have the right licenses and you serialized them with the proper paperwork.

The dealership website even features this abomination on its top banner.

 

In honor of me starting prog-esterone this week, here’s some prog-rock I’ve been listening to.

 

It's always fun to stumble across a new band, and a new genre. Sometimes the Almighty Algorithm delivers unto us a absolute banger.

This is a really cool project he's been working on for a while. I love how he's keeping it extremely low tech too.
