Not from State Farm. Sorry to disappoint. I'm just a half-Iranian American exploring the fediverse. I am interested in science, tech, philosophy, animals, comedy, a wide range of music, and even politics. Though the politics in my country are plain depressing atm.

    Hydrogen fuel-cell e-bikes can be "recharged" in seconds

    newatlas.com Hydrogen fuel-cell ebikes can be 'recharged' in seconds

    While most ebikes on the road today will come with a battery pack, some are riding down the hydrogen fuel-cell cycle path. HydroRide not only has fuel-cell ebikes available, but also a compact refill station to top up H2 canisters.

    All the power of an ebike with all the convenience of a kerosene powered motorcycle.

    How do I use a dry herb vape properly?

    So I have used a resin vape pen, a thc disposable and edibles and while the disposable makes me cough if I inhale wrong, the dry herb vape will straight up make me throw up due to little bits of weed getting inhaled. Is it a technique issue or maybe I ground it incorrectly,

    I've noticed that standard vapes make me cough out my lungs, every. Freaking. Time.

    But my rosin vape doesn't do that. I might cough if I puff too many times in a row but even then it doesn't hurt, just tickles. What is added to standard vapes that I am reacting too? Is it a quality problem or should I just get rosin from now on?

    So I found a cheap bridge camera that I have free access to. Is it worth learning on.

    I have free access to a family member's camera but it really isn't the best. I think it has a 1/2" sensor though the sensor is not listed anywhere on the box or in the manual which I guess is a red flag. Should I wait and save up more money to buy a better camera or could I use this one to learn on?

    Why do so many videos and even online camera stores call the 4/3 type sensor "Micro Four Thirds" when Micro Four Thirds is a mirrorless camera mount format?

    I get that they sound similar but they absolutely are not the same thing and its use implies that there are only mirrorless cameras.

    I found a video describing a clever way to turn old bags into panniers

    I am sure this would work for messenger bags, camera bags, or really any bag. And hard board backing could be added to them from rubbing on the wheels.

    > I had been looking for a bike to get around my local city and managed to snag a Huffy cruiser for $50. It is in decent shape with only some superficial rust on the pedals. This will be a big learning experience for me as I haven't ridden a bike for nine years. I'll both learn how to use a bike to run errands and how to do some of my own maintenance. Maybe even customize it a bit by adding a frame lock and a 3 speed gear hub. I guess we shall see how far I get in this learning and fitness quest.

    Can a "Dutch" utility bike be made in the US?

    So I live in the US and I have seen a few videos proclaiming the virtues of Dutch style bikes including NoJustBike's video. They all are saying that these bikes cannot be found in the US but couldn't one just buy a step through frame and just add the missing features themselves such as a chain guard and parallel handle bars?
