zlatan, wiki idiot = someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. that's what he has done with imposing 25% extra import duty on steel and 10% on aluminium. He knows now it's significantly counterproductive - did he think it well before tweeting? Apparently...

he accepted to do a job which he does not do well. He is going to hurt the people to whom he made promises rightly or wrongly to put them first - His starting a trade war will do just that, losing them sales. That's why I think he is an idiot.

It was my fault for not making a convincing enough case against Mr Donald Trump. Many, many billionaires minimize their tax liabilities. Although this is perfectly legal, it is a form of theft against the poorest in society. Mr Trump's $1 billion tax loss would give him $200 million tax offset...

if you keep the same wheel, then continue with the 500W kit. Changing the controller does not make the kit legal. What makes it legal is a 250W label and a working speed limiter to cut the power when speed reaches 25kph. The LCD and controller need to use the same communication protocol...

that depends on the model of the 250w wheel. Some motors are robust enough to take more currrent, many are not. you should show the labels on both controllers. The 6 wire connectors don't give enough information.It is dangerous to blindly test by plugging parts together without a wiring...

how about a shopping list and links to where to get them?

I understand the words but not what you mean.

that is because the raw material is so currently cheap so recycling technology receives less incentive to develop. Plastics in particular need to be replaced by other less environmentally harmful materials because it will remain cheap to make in the foreseeable future. Just look at the...

you don't need much to tackle 7% gradient with 100kg weight. That Q128C running at 48V 260 RPM on 20" wheel, I'd guess 15A so any decent cell would do it unless you want to ride at higher than the legal speed limit. * 675W mechanical, 80% yield.

read my post again, I said he is a shortermist idiot, judging the consequences of his action on the people who voted for him, the rust belt of the USA. He is of course not an idiot when he filled in $1 billion tax loss on his tax return.

DT is an shortermist idiot. His action will cause more job loss than jobs gained and will tax the American consumers, deter inward investment etc. The people who profit from his tweets are the financiers who got tipped off before the tweets. Wars are expensive in more ways than just money and jobs.

we are making good progress on making plastic and other material recyclable. At the moment, we use plastic in the current way because natural resources are cheap to dig out of the ground, that's not going to continue. In less than 300 years, most of our current materials that are mined will have...

No, Halfords want £150 fee for their vouchers. I think e-bike direct take Halfords vouchers.

they are anti dumping measures, limited in time and scope, and subject to WTO tribunals.

there is a clear difference. The tariffs in EU-US trades have been negotiated by previous US administrations. DT's new decree is not and will create a trade war with China, Brasil, India etc. different tariffs exist and are used all the time to address issues such as imbalance of trade...

5 uphill miles on the way home should be your key concern: poor weather, lower temperature etc would make the homeward leg less enjoyable. For that reason, I would not recommend a torque sensor system for you, beside its higher cost. I would suggest you look at a simple crank drive bike with...

that's one way of putting it. For decades, our civil service knows the value of EU workers to our economy and actively recruit EU workers and students, even to the point of not asking them to leave when the person has a long spell of unemployment. Instead of making the case for more EU...

I agree with Gubbins. I would not seek a garden leave - besides the detrimental effect on your social life, it would leave you with a less favourable view by the potential companies that you want to work with. Some flexible hours would be better.

there is no bad guy in this sort of agreements. They help to strike the right balance between protecting jobs and reaping the benefit of free trade. It's the idea of free for all trades that is idiotic because it only benefits the traders to the detriment of the workers.

I can't say that I know how you feel, I have never been in your situation but I did leave one government paid job to become self employed when I was 27. There was no greener grass on the other side of the fence, I worked god sends hours for less pay and no pension scheme but it was a case of...
