    It's just a commodity like samarium for example, If you need it, you'll have to pay market price. China hoover up as much gold as available for a few years now, especially from USA, pushing up demand hence price. Politically, it's more acceptable than selling RMB or buying US treasury bonds to...

    Netanyahu bombs Iran with American ammunition. Last weekend, US planes and US warship destroyed Iranian nuclear processing facilities. So for many, Trump ordered the strikes. Starmer would not have bombed Iran. For the period we are discussing, gold price went up 1.04% in dollar term, as you...

    ... in that period, the DJI went up by 1.45% and the dollar lost 1.12% versus the GBP. For a UK based investor in US stocks, the net gain is only 1.45%-1.12% = 0.32% As a side observation, a lot of businesses imported goods in advance of tariffs imposition so Walmart and Amazon for example are...

    there is always a possibility that someone can hack into your wifi because the inverters use your wifi to talk to your phone. It does not have to be the CCP though. If you don't want to be hacked, don't use your mobile phone, don't install any app, don't run windows, MacOS or Linux or have wifi...

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    I like the 85TS kit because it helps keeping my muscles without sweating. It's also very nice to ride with.

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    I have 26inch wheels, 85TS max torque is 45nm. The controller is set for 17A. I weigh 75kgs. Most of the time I am on assist level 2, occasionally on 3. I get up Pier Hill in Southend-On-Sea ok. Peter has the lighter and smaller 75 motor. You don't need more power unless you weigh 100kgs or live...

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    We go in circles because you are looking at factory made bikes which are always less flexible than kits. I think she only has to dial up assist level to 3, 4 and 5 instead of 2 o3 that I am on most of the time. She can always fall back on the throttle if 4 or 5 are insufficient. The 85TS has...

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    it's can be done. You start with a 10kg full sus for comfort. That's the key to build a good bike because the components are very good to start with. You add a tongsheng 85TS kit with a bag battery for 40 mile or 60 miles or HL downtube battery for 80 miles range. Total weight 14kgs with 36V...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What amazes me is how easy it is for Trump to sell cheap money. Since 2008, the USA and most of the world are hooked on very low interest rates. Corporates have used the opportunity to push up prices and profits. The poor usually does not get anything other than a bigger mortage and student...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The USA has to help Israel regardless of circumstances, who is POTUS and who is Israel 's PM. However, Trump is too lazy to think long term or moderation. This time, his enemies are the majority of MAGA and Fox News. I can't see how he will convince them that the current fight is all Obama 's...

    That's the gist of the right-wingers on anti net zero. They wouldn't wait until the cancer kill them and yet, no matter how many glaciers have melted and are melting, they will continue to deny that man is responsible for the melting.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Trump mused: 'Am I allowed to appoint myself?' He wants to replace Jerome Powell because he cannot sack Powell nor can he make Powell to cut the Fed's interest rate. Trump started the war in Iran. I can't see how he can get out of all the mess he created.

    For years, I have in mind that ebikers don't get angry. Well, at least not all the time. So why you so often repost videos that show extremely angry people?

    'Georgia Meloni was spotted rolling her eyes and whispering with French President Emmanuel Macron at the first G7 meeting today, as splits emerge between world leaders.' The G7 minus Trump would like a joint declaration on Ukraine and Israel. Starmer was in charge of sweet talking Trump but...

    Battery Fires

    I am sure these things have happened and it's better to err on the side of caution. However, the vast majority of users are blissfully unaware because a) the connectors are better designed and built, the sparks are not noticed and b) the chargers and BMSes are also improved over time. The last...
