This was voter registrations, not votes. It is caused by financial incentives for people involved in voter registration efforts - the voters and addresses don't exist (or don't match). Phony voter registration forms just cause more workload and frustration for election officials, all voter...

13ah is the capacity, the battery will also have a max continuous current rating, but it will be more than 15a so you will be ok

As @Nealh says you have to check the max current rating of the controller is less than the battery max continuous rating -and leave a (5 amp ? ) safety margin

I worked for a multi national finance company, and there was quite a difference in culture between the US and Europe divisions. We were rolling out a finance system worldwide (UK based project). The US sponsors of the project thought many of the Europeans resistant to having this system...

I think it is the tech bros vs the nativists. The tech bros will win (Vance is Thiel's protege). They are an assassination / 25th amendment away , although as long as Elon is running things, they don't need that...

Its not shut down - it's been bought by "The Onion"

Since I have started using KT controllers, I have been using less assist than before - partly it is psychological - my previous controller was level 1 20%, 2 40%, 3 60%, 4 80% and 5 100% . I noticed I was using a reasonably steep incline today on level 3 (33%) - I am sure i would have tackled...

I've seen reports that Musk has visited Trump at Mar A Lago everyday since the election result was announced. I wonder if Musk will be the "de facto" president while Trump watches Fox news

Cap and Trade always seemed a much more complicated system than a carbon tax to me [https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/explainers/which-is-better-carbon-tax-or-cap-and-trade/]

The other alternatives would be to get a cheaper hub motored bike that would be easy to maintain, replace parts, upgrade, (usually would be able to set the max assist speed yourself) , convert a bike yourself (plenty of advice here) or look at offerings from Wisper or Woosh, they have been...

The only coherent plan I had seen for Brexit was from Richard North : Flexcit (which was a fleshed out version of the Norway option) https://www.eureferendum.com/blogview.php?blogno=85981 One thing I hadn't understood was when politicians complain of EU product rules is that in fact these are...

I didn't really understand why we didn't join the EEA after Brexit.

The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) states that there is high confidence that ECS is within the range of 2.5 °C to 4 °C, with a best estimate of 3 °C.

Well, if I was going to investigate it, I would start off looking at how many automated temperature stations the met office says it has, is it 300 as the article in the Daily Skeptic claims ? Then I would look at the records for one of the stations they mention As I (and @Ghost1951 ) have...
