       you know there would be close ups of shafts sliding and mechanisms rotating and then some big electricity would flicker jaggedly over the mechanism when it makes contact with the bus

       @azonenberg Let's keep hentai out of this. We don't need to sexualize the buses, okThey don't run on overhead powerlines. Why would a gas pump style EV charger be better than this?

       @MrDOS @azonenberg There's a huge structure further back in the lot that doesn't have individual posts between buses. It's all overhead and supported by pillars out at the edges. Just a grid of charging pantographs that come down from above

       @azonenberg @FloppySalmon @MrDOS I dunno, this seems better to me than a cable that someone has to unhook and shove into a hole in the side of the bus, and then unplug again before the bus can leave

       I've really been wanting to write a tutorial for making Cantern Jr. bicycle lights out of tin cans, but i felt like the construction required too many specific materials and tools. I want people with even basic tools to be able to build them. So, as i build this Cantern Jr. tail light for my e-bike, I'm experimenting with a simpler way of constructing them. Instead of using a piece of aluminum plate cut with a hack saw or band saw and bent in a vise for mounting the LED inside the can, I'm using a scrap of another tin can, cut with tin snips, and bent into shape by hand. I think it's going to work just fine.

       Building one will still require a 3D printer, wire cutters/strippers, and a soldering iron, but at least I've eliminated the need for a saw an a piece of aluminum plate. I could probably eliminate the need for the 3D printer as well, but the light would be getting very jankily built by that point

       The headlight version of the Cantern Jr has a focusing lens for the LED and a clear plastic window to protect everything from the elements. This is a tail light though, and it  just needs to be visible to others, so I'm dropping the focusing lens and replacing the clear window with a diffuser made from a diffuser sheet from an LCD TV. It's very bright!

       Anyone on here know much about Android? My dad is having issues with ads being embedded into his Samsung G21 running Android 12. He says it's since his last software update, and i can't tell if this garbage is stuff pushed into the phone by his carrier (Consumer Cellular), or if he's got malware.

       @steter @ai6yr he wants to learn how to ride. It would be so much more efficient to check trash cans for delicious garbage on a bicycle

       You are being forced to become a single-celled organism at gunpoint. These are your options. Which do you become?

       @azonenberg There's a Kansas City in Kansas. It's across the river from Kansas City, Missouri. That's less crazy than someone buying the London Bridge from the City of London and shipping it to Arizona to put it back together as a tourist trap

       @normanefe he does have it rough, but there are lots of street cats around here and they don't have faces like that

       @normanefe he looked all clean a couple weeks ago, like somehow he had gotten a bath. I don't know who could have given him one, but it was an obvious change from his usual look
