    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I have never knowingly put anyone at risk, least of all my family. But if I did, I will ask those concerned for their views.

    Democracy is not the solution for most problems. If you need to save for your old age, would you ask your family for a vote? Most problems are better solved by people with specific expertise.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You have to decide whether Schwab is a petty CEO freeloading on expenses or the big boss of the world 's tiniest shadowy organisation. during the 54 years as president of WEF, he is not the 'big boss' as you made him if you only looks at his petty embezzlements. If WEF is big, then he hasn't...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Green carbon tax on electricity from gas is only 1p per kWH, roughly 4% on the price you pay. UK CPS + UK ETS = £58 per tonne of carbon. One MWH emits 0.18t. The problem we have is we don't produce enough electricity from renewables. Sweden is the example how to do it right. I never liked Ed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's what trump's does. Imagine a world without laws, without checks and balance, without 'wokes', without gays and lesbians. We'll be back into the time where rich people didn't pay taxes and the local landlords still had 'droit de seigneur' or prima nocta on young women. Trump and Putin are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    To me, nationalist sounds like 'sovereign/identity' politics, populist is not equal to popular, usually means divisive, democracy in the nationalist populist context usually means autocracy. His campainging against LGBTQ+ means oppressing minorities. None of them is appealing to me.

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    My view on this is explained in my Post #21, Post #35 and Post #58. To do this in hardware, you will need an arduino and some programming. This method will let you control acceleration, your starting off will be exactly the same if the throttle wasn't restricted.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Robert Fico wants to emulate Victor Orban and Trump. He is a nationalist and populist. He pursues a “sovereign” foreign policy, holds a tough stance against non-governmental organisations, and campaigned against LGBT+ rights. He also formed a coalition with the far right. Some of the things he...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Huawei does not need android for their phones. They have HarmonyOS. It's not difficult for them to replace IOS with HarmonyOS. The point is Apple and China are symbiots. Apple needs China. They can't keep their top place without China. Did you see how the guys on YT upgrade the NVME module on...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    Bobbo didn't do much. The title of the thread 'Making a torque throttle' is misleading but the gist of what Bobbo tried to do is sufficiently clear. It's about how to meet the 6km/h throttle when the firmware wasn't programmed for it. I would do that by generating a brake signal when the speed...

    Making a torque throttle instead of a speed throttle for a cheap controller

    Chris_n said: Chris_n is correct. You can sit on the bike and press the walk assist button but it is not how it is meant to be used. That's what I agreed with. If I need a push to start from standstill, I would use a throttle. I still do not think that limiting the voltage of the throttle to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Apple can only make their phones in China. They have tried Vietnam and India but all the parts have to come from China. Their relationship with China is a symbiosis. When the usa tried to compete with huawei on 5G by locking out their access to sub 7nm technology, their engineers build...

    It can work if American car workers accept to compete with Mexicans South of the border. Mexicans work hard for $6 an hour to assemble cars against $30 an hour atm. Apple employ indirectly 300,000 educated and skilled Chinese to build their products. They can't even assemble a complete iPhone...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Back to the main topic of EVs and energy. CATL has just introduced a new sodium EV battery good enough for 5 million miles, charged in 5 minutes and cheaper than their LFP. From July 2016, EV batteries sold in China have to pass stringent test to prove their level of fireproofing. They have to...

    Just a talking point. The far right plays the victim card. That does not bother me. What does is their modus operandi of wilfully breaking some laws or international treaties just to gain kudos with their base. The result is perfectly respectable people, never break any law themselves, get...

    You are wrong there. Germany cannot punish Romania on its own, it needs majority voting. That makes the punishment democratic.

    It's in the treaty, so it's normal that the EU may use that power. Nothing strange about that. Just to refresh your memory: The European Union can suspend the voting rights of a member state under Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). This article is often referred to as the EU's...

    Coincidence. Don't read too much into this. At the ripe old age of 88 (he was born 20/03/1938), he no longer needs a salary.

    I read the story from politico, cnn, ap. Kaja Kallas told reporters in Luxembourg on Monday after a meeting of EU foreign ministers that “what was also discussed and very clearly said by different member states is that any participation in the 9th of May parades, or celebrations, in Moscow will...
