    Man, that video clip left me scratching my head. 
    1. Where was or what happened to the rider of the runaway bike?
    2. How did that riderless bike just keep going?

    3. What was the guy that got hit with the riderless bike doing when he got hit? 
     

    Just plain weird. 

     

    1 probably  a wheelie guy that fell off.

     

    2 the power of gyroscope stabilization. In gear maybe a throttle lock. Grinding on the k rail

     

    3 sitting on the shoulder

    Opinion needed.

     

    I'm selling my Indian. Y'all think I should post it in the classifieds?

    You will regret it.

     

    If its paid for it don't eat nuthin.

  3. We use those caps on the heavy trucks I work around and I run them on my pickup. In the last 6 years I have seen a couple times where those pass through caused a slow leak down. 

     

    @Eyesa Horg those TPMS have a lockdown nut that makes it hard to remove.

  4. There is water and silicon on the moon. That makes solar panels and fuel. 

     

    He3 if fusion is available.

     

    Metals from lunar  formation. Or recover/ repurpose old satellites for metal or components. 

     

    And there will be a resource cost to get the initial startup there. Might never be self sustaining but a better use of resources than some things we spend tax money on

    Texas Joker, I'm not talking about bringing stuff from the moon to Earth. I heard a spokesman for NASA stating that private research is needed so that we can launch FROM the moon to save fuel/money/etc. as there is no where near as much gravity and no atmosphere to overcome. Until a transporter, ala Star Trek, is invented...one still needs to get the material to the moon first. The entire save fuel/money/etc reasoning doesn't make any sense at all.

    My gal asked me "Why are they going back to the moon, there was nothing there the last time?" I told here that regardless of the BS that the private and government entities give about scientific research and it'll be easier to launch from the moon for further space exploration...it's really all about the possible fortunes to be made from mining the moon for minerals/materials that are rare on Earth. Of course, when enough of these rare minerals/materials are brought back to Earth, they will no longer be rare and thereby prices for such items will fall. The entire "easier to launch from the moon" reasoning is the most obvious line of bs...lets launch stuff from Earth, take it to the moon and then launch from there...say what???

     

    You said ♤.  Mine materials on the moon. Make rocket either on moon or in orbit. Launch from MUCH shallower gravity well. Achieve asteroid belt get more material repeat

     

     Yes itll be expensive to bootstrap infrastructure to the moon or orbit but once there it's done. And can be used to stepping stone into stellar civilization.  

     

    Radiation shielding will be done by burying habitats. 

  6. @Cypress Sun launch to moon build there launch from moon. No need to bring stuff to earth.  Just the helium3 alone is worth it if we can get sustained fusion tech locked in.

     

    @Pat Riot. I can see a day when there is an industry recovering that stuff for the metal and scrap value. Movie about that on Netflix. And asteroid mining I can see that as a need if any sort of space industry starts up

  7. ATT did a thing on some box that runs on magic smoke. They dropped a stitch and some of the smoke leaked out.  Took a minute to figure out which box was leaking.

     

    Network went wobbly for a bit but they figured it out.  If they give a credit it'll be reflected on the billing originated by ATT so how can it be a scam?
