The electric train was invented in 1879. The safety bicycle six years later.

Unleasing the potential of these two “obsolete” technologies is our best bet at addressing the converging climate, health, resource, and inequity crises.

Not smarter cars. Not cleaner cars. Fewer cars.

17 lipca 2023 r. zostałem zatrzymany przez policję na proteście antyrządowym pod Wawelem w Krakowie za stanięcie obok Babci Kasi z transparentem "Prezes Jarosław Kaczyński to pasożyt" oraz transparentem wyrażającym solidarność z kobietami prześladowanymi przez fanatyczną katoprawicową władzę.

Trafiłem do aresztu na ponad czterdzieści godzin. W więzieniu spędziłem dwie noce pod rząd. Byłem w tym czasie dowożony na komisariat przy ulicy Szlak na przesłuchania, a także do pracowników medycznych na przymusowe pobranie mi krwi, ponieważ policjanci podejrzewali, że mogę być zarażony wirusem HIV.

O sprawie NIE NAPISAŁO oko.press, chociaż rozmawiałem wtedy dość długo o tym co się wydarzyło z dziennikarzem oko Krzysztofem Boczkiem.

The Substack Nazi meltdown is making all kinds of smart people say things that fit very well with my first rule, and it's making me smile every day.

If you've enjoyed the #asstodon hashtag could I ask a small favor? It's not about donkeys, it's about a refugee camp in Kenya where hundreds of women, men & kids are trying to survive after being violently displaced from their homes for being #LGBTQ. Donations go directly to help them obtain food, sanitary and medical supplies. Boosts appreciated 🙂

@gerrymcgovern I can get almost any part required to economically fix faults on thirty year old bicycles. A few inexpensive parts make them ride as well as they did when new, resulting in lots of happy customers as a result.

Parts for three year old e-bikes on the other hand are almost always unavailable. Customers ask me quite often and I do my best to find compatible parts, but I usually cannot. On the rare occasions when parts like batteries, motors or controller electronics actually are available my customers *always* find them too expensive and don't buy them. Those bikes usually end up in landfill at a very young age.

I find it very sad, but that's how it is.

E-bikes are great for companies which sell new bikes, but pretty rotten for people like me who want to help people to keep the bikes that they already have in working order for as long as possible.

"Many EV and e-mobility batteries are difficult to repair by design, and some manufacturers actively discourage the practice, citing safety concerns. The small number of independent mechanics who repair EV or e-bike batteries struggle to do so affordably due to design challenges, safety requirements, and a lack of access to spare parts."

Digital products are deliberately designed to fail, deliberately designed so they can't be repaired. More profit if you make it e-waste

Hilfe. Leute, lasst Euch beim Heizungstausch keinen Bären aufbinden. Gerade jetzt im Hessen Fernsehen empfiehlt ein Energie-Berater alles außer einer Wärmepumpe. Pellets, Infrarot Lehmheizung. Wärmepumpen läge bei 50000€ nach Förderung, weil alle Heizkörper getauscht werden müssen.
Nein, das ist alles falsch. Eine Wärmepumpe funktioniert meistens mit den normalen Heizkörpern und kostet keine 50000€. Macht euch selbst kundig, ich hatte hier schon viele Tipps gegeben.
