    I now figured that you've got the Santana CD. It was later replaced by the Rambla in 2019. The Ramba has better crank motor, Bafang MaxDrive and 9-speed cassette. Santana-CD: revolutionary when it was introduced, step through, crank drive and throttle:

    Can this battery be revived?

    We still don't know exactly where the fault is. I suggest you strip the blue shrink tube and locate the bad cells. See first if you can safely remove them.

    It may have been a routing problem that was cleared. Datacenters have a lot of systems to stop DDoS. Once triggered, it takes a bit of time to reset.

    Wilko Johnson, guitarist, died today age 75. He regularly popped into PMT (professional music technology) next door to us. RiP.

    Variable contact pressure on a friction drive?

    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...

    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.
