    the problem is less often an issue of melting plastic, although that happens, but mainly that some needles inside the one way bearing (the blue gear is a one way bearing) get damaged, so it works only a very low torque, as soon as you push the motor a bit harder, it slips.

    that's not yet gone hypersonic.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the guy who suggested a laser gun to shoot down a hypersonic missile does not understand physics. A railgun, maybe, but certainly not a laser gun, not for another 100 years, even if it's as powerful as those at the US National Ignition Center. To shoot down a hypersonic object, you need Joules...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    getting rid of Johnson is the job for the conservative party. any of his replacement presumably can't do worse. Maybe zlatan has something to say here. I am more interested in Labour or a coalition winning the argument and the next general election.

    many won't have time to have a conversation. They'll vote on easy to believe solutions and promises.

    some brexiteers accuse BJ of being a blairite. The charge seems to stick.

    Maybe more Red Wall's tory MPs will follow Christian Wakeford and defect to Labour to keep their seat.

    to that, BJ repeated that he takes full responsibility and refuses to say that he will go. that's not taking responsibility. BJ can campaign, not lead.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's what people like me believe that matters. It's both the spirit of the law and the letters of the law. If the lawmakers try to rely on 'technicalities' to bend the rules, they deserve to lose their seats. BTW, Christian Wakeford defected to Labour.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the two main issues for those who want to replace BJ are: who would beat Starmer and who would carry the torch light for brexit. Starmer does not frighten the average voters as much as JC did, so there is no obvious best candiate or candidates.

    you can but you shouldn't. The controller on the TSDZ2 is rated 10A continuous, about 17A max. That means that on a long hill, it can take as much as 17A, not only that will cause a large voltage sag on a small capacity battery (just google Peukert effect), more importantly, it produces heat...

    if the gap remains 10%+ until the election, they'll get their majority. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1551900/conservative-labour-latest-polls-boris-johnson-keir-starmer-evg from the Express: Just six per cent of those surveyed said they thought Mr Johnson had been honest in...

    Step through/low step bike £1500

    the front brakes on the Santana is disc. You can replace the cable operated Avid caliper with a hydraulic one. The cost is about £20-£30. As most of the braking (70%) is done at the front, it will give about the same braking power as if both front and rear were hydraulic.

    I reckon BJ will say that he has not known until Sue Gray's report is out that the gatherings at No 10 were in fact social gatherings. With what he now knows, he humbly submits his correction to any previous statements that other honorable friends may have found untrue or misleading. It's all...

    tories voting intentions sink further, the gap now widens to 13% Tories: 30% Labour: 43% Labour should have more seats than conservatives in the next parliament. Steve Baker of the ERG and Covid Research Group may lose his seat (Wycombe) - I reckon he will want BJ out before it's too late for...

    that reminds me... I made a 128k RAM board for the ZX81 and wrote the code for a RAM drive for the Zilog Z80 chip in 1982. There should still be some pictures of it somewhere on the internet. I did the same for the BBC Micro model B in 1983 but this time for the 6502 chip. You load software from...

    it's one of the very few world beating areas that we have. Now Dorries has vandalised it, starting by cutting its budget in the remaining of this parliament. She will force it to be commercial and get it ready for sale.
