I agree with timwhit on Walmart bikes, it's probably better to buy a used bike. I don't know if a fixie can be an alternative, but they are cheap and low maintenance.

This DAC looks interesting, from the price-, audiophile- and geek point of view. :) http://www.henryaudio.com

If it isn't religion we disagree on, it is football teams, or Amiga vs Atari or something else. I'm not very religious, but I think anyone can believe in what they want as long as they don't disturb anyone else. And religion should not be involved in how you rule a country. By the way, this was...

I'm not OK with terrorists. But I don't think a nuke in the middle east would have prevented the things that happened in San Bernadino, Paris, Nice and so on. It would only piss normal people off and make it easier for terror organisations to recruit members around the world. We have to fight...

I'm sorry that you lost a friend in 9/11, but I still don't understand your arguments. At all. Adolf Hitler and a few others have already tried the genocide method. Besides, only ~20% of all muslims live in the middle east, perhaps there's a risk that some of the other 80% in the world would...

I'm afraid that the integrated Realtek audio chip isn't really reference. But I use the same on my computer, and I listen to songs from Youtube sometimes, and I haven't placed my speakers for best audio performance either, and I have also listened to music streamed to a bluetooth spreaker from a...

MP3 or FLAC will probably not make any difference in a phone, the only phone I know of that aspires to have decent sound is the LG G5? with the hifi plug in module. I have a Nexus 6P with AKG n20 headphones, not really high end, but not the worst either. The sounds are there, but not the timing...

I don't know if I have golden ears or not, but I haven't heard any artifacts with high quality recordings. And I'm pretty sure you can reproduce sound > 20kHz in an 44 kHz/16 bit recording? So I don't know what to think about that argument. You can take a look/listen at this page if you want to...

Maybe we should start a different thread on the subject of evolution? But I wonder if the blogger would have time/inspiration to write that post if he had reproduced?

I think we pay around $6 per gallon here, an we're not the most expensive country in Europe. The car tax also correlates to the CO2 emission levels. I don't think it's perfect, but it's something. I agree with mubs on the two-wheelers (with or without engines), many seem to be in full-on-attack...

Oops, I missed that part. Another challenge is that the customers im the US have beem accustomed to (in my eyes) huge vehicles since the 1950's. And we Swedes love our large station wagons, and in Italy they wonder why Swedes need to drive such huge cars, and so on. Maybe we have to have some...

Of course the Fiat will have a disadvantage, but it's not as bad as it looks. I have never liked large/huge cars. They waste energy and they are no fun to drive.

I know what the laws of physics say, but a lighter car can be pretty safe too. Audi Q7 vs Fiat 500

I feel pretty useless the times I take my 3400 lbs car to the store for buying one liter of milk. E-bike sales are booming in Europe too, and they seem to be very nice both for commuting and recreation. I'm often passed by a lady on a an E-bike on my way to work, and the other day I saw a guy...

I'm sorry that I continue to hijack the Tesla thread, but one thing everybody is talking about right now is MaaS (mobility as a service), and Hannover is the first city to implement it in the real world. http://www.uitp.org/news/maas-international-recognition I can imagine that more services...

b I'm not sure I agree with you on that one. Here's a pic that shows how much space bikes vs cars vs a bus uses to transport the same amount of passengers: http://www.bikehub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Munster1991BusBicycleCar.jpg The biggest problem with a city bus is that it's usually...

The infrastructure costs a bit, and an electric bus cost around twice as much as a normal bus. But then the energy price is lower than the diesel price, and the maintenance costs are probably lower too (I don't know the life expectancy of the battery though, especially in the cold). The interior...

Another nice possibility with electric buses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TK2lG85Oqs

I'm a bit of a bus nerd (mostly thanks to my work), and everybody seems to agree on that electric buses are the future, either fully electrical or hybrid, at least on city buses. A hybrid city bus saves around 40% energy, a hybrid city bus with charging stations at the end of the line (with a 6...

A full suspension bike for $179? That's really impressive. :)

It's funny because it's true. http://dilbert.com/strip/2012-08-02

It's alu, it has a pretty basic crank and headset, so it can't be upgraded to a WC winning machine. But it'll be nice to rid in the winter and on the trail with my son next year... And maybe one or two XC races. :)

A picture from todays trip...

I got my first mtb this week and took it for a 22 km premiere ride in the woods today, it was really fun to just attack and blast though the mud. :) The bike is a Cannondale Trail 1, a not so expensive 29" HT. I also tried a Trek X-Caliber, but the Cannondale just gave me a better feeling on...

We don't have summer. ;)

Hellow hellow, I am from Jämtland, Sweden. I don't understand this at all. My opinion on this matter does not matter. But I hope you have a nice day. Best regards. /Fredrik

We drink a lot of coffee in Sweden. And I don't have a cardiologist. I don't finish every cup (mug) either, and sometimes I take cup of hot chocolate instead, just to be kind to the stomach.

My normal daily coffee schedule (when at work) looks something like this: 1 in the morning 1 at 8-8:30 1 at 9 1 at 9:30 1 at 10 1 at 11 1 at 13 1 at 14 1 at 14:30 1 at 15 1 at 15:30 Maybe 1 at 16:30, it depends...

Yes, no more than 2 cups before 8.10. I think I drank 22 cups of coffee yesterday. (But I'm old.)

I must admit that I use the same logic... even if I know it's stupid in the long run. :(

What I meant was that I have experienced similar symptoms with shaking hands (+irregular heartbeats and migraine) when I was in a couple of tight projects. But it got better when they were over.

And you're sure it isn't "only" stress related?

I tried a few glasses of Ardbeg Uigeadail, not bad at all... No taste of alcohol despite the 54,2% strength.

They call it "Ripsaw", it would be great when going ice fishing, amongst other things.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AfVXPSNXTAk I really want one.

This is really sad news.

A whisky like Auchentoshan and mums mums, better post an image to avoid any misunderstandings...

Highland Park 18 is one of my favourite reasonably priced whiskies (good YPK as we say in Sweden). The Glenmorangie 12 wasn't a "must try" by th wsy, but not too bad either.

I can imagine that Glenmorangie 18 is very, very good,. I got a bottle of Glenmorangie 12 "the sherry cask finish" as a birthday gift, I'll try that one tonight. I mostly buy the standard bottlings, so it will be interesting to try something new.

50% has a bit of a bite to it, but the Organic is very nice and smooth overall. Some whiskies are quite harsh even if they're bottleded at 40-43%, but not this one.

Just thought I should report here that bought a bottle of The Organic from Bruichladdich today. =) http://www.bruichladdich.com/the-whisky/bruichladdich/the-organic-0

What's wrong with the Nexus 6? It's great (well) for RDP, reading the shopping list etc. And it's my work phone, so the camera isn't very important. I wouldn't mind a Moto G or Moto X either for that matter even if there are better phones, but the simple interface + turbo charging is very...

You should also be able to stream audio to a receiver/smart TV or whatever over the network.

I think laser headlights looks great in the video. Especially that it highlights wildlife and pedestrians.

Merry Christmas!

I hate to say it, but a co worker got a Z3 and it seems to be pretty good (smooth ui, good camera and water resistant) even if it's preloaded with millions of apps that you don't want. Personally I was looking really hard at the Moto X, but then the Nexus 6 came along.

Probably yes, but I think an Xperia Z3 might surpass it in that aspect. It's still quite large and completely flat on both sides.

The Nexus 6 can also be used as a cutting board in, very practical. :)
