All 3 teams have the same idea of a catapult. The ICL team's catapult seems best constructed having sides to guide the rings but failed to score any point. I wonder why they did not try to have a longer ramp, that would improve the accuracy.

Woosh Santana 2014: back then (2014), the Santana cost £659. The main weakness is the old cup and cone bottom bracket. The success of this model led to the Santana2 i n 2016, bigger motor, bigger capacity battery, LCD: in 2018, the Santana2 is replaced by the Santana3, better fork, brakes...

one possible explanation is the wire from Point14 to the cellpack is broken where it is soldered to the cells.

that's very risky. It's like a falling knife. You don't have to catch it rightaway if your pockets are very deep. Crypto relies on cheap money. While money is cheap, financial institutions may put large sums into them but that is no longer true for at least a decade.

when a newspaper urges not to go soft, the reason is usally because they run out of good arguments.

latest brexit polls: 32% brexit was right, 56% brexit was wrong, 12% undecided. That's the largest margin I've seen since the vote. Over the last weekend, some government insiders claimed that government is considering a swiss style deal with the EU. By Sunday, the rumours were squashed, so...

They are scheduled to arrive 10 Dec.

the only known way to have negative mass for the bubble is to create a wave of micro black holes. Inside their event horizon, time and space lines are swapped around. We do that with the LHC at CERN. I suppose BJ is quite capable of creating black holes all by himself.

I don't have a clue what and why Elon Musk is doing to twitter and also to Tesla with his salary package. I suppose he needs to stem the losses so he sacks half the workforce and forces the rest to take on twice the workload for the same salary. I doubt he will succeed.

the coils inside the motor are connected to the battery via FET electronic switches, the latter are turned on by the controller for a fraction of milliseconds. The controller will turn off the switches if it detects anomalies like motor stalling. You need to open up the controller to check the...

back in 1994, Miguel Alcubierre showed a mathematical solution how to create a warp bubble. It was rumoured that Nasa was looking into it. It would take humans at least several centuries to develop quantum mechanics theories to the point of creating a warp drive but I think it's possible to...

BBCQT went to Snape yesterday, a villSuffolk where remainers seem to be more numerous than brexiters. 5 minutes in, nearly all the audience clapped at a member of the audience asked why don't we rejoin the single market and customs union. Virtually nobody now believes 'there is no downside to...

agreed. Rachel Reeves managed a few good jokes in her reply but could not come up with any substantially better idea. quote: The Chancellor and Prime Minister are trying to convince us that the problems Britain faces are nothing to do with them. That the mini-budget, which imposed a Tory...

there is a theory that suggests that we follow the normal sequence of all civilisations, all destined to destroy their home planets and die out. That is also one likely reason why we could not contact any extra terrestrial intelligent lifeforms.

they used to supply both. It's easy to tell if you post some pictures.

The main reason for dissatisfaction is the first pass the post voting system that reduces the choice of policy to just the two largest parties. When the second party does not look like government in waiting, the first party becomes complacent and corrupt. The main issues for the centre are...

You can ask your supplier for wiring diagrams. most of the time, your best cell grouping is pretty intuitive and at last resort, you have google images and this forum. e-bike batteries usually prioritize gravimetric density, the batteries get smaller and smaller over time so there is little...

that almost applies to the LibDems. Occupying the centre does not mean you have to be at the centre. You can be left or right leaning, as long as the distribution of your policies keep most people happy.

The job of the government is to govern for all people, that means to occupy the centre of politics. I have seen Labour under Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock, John Smith, then Tony Blair breaking the cycle, Gordon Brown, Ed Miliband, Jeremy Corbyn and now Keir Starmer. Each time, I said to myself...

True Labour is what won elections.
