Very interesting read! I've been trying to find out more info on the SimpleSet drivers they make. Specifically if there was a way to change the output percentage (I have a 20w LED with a 100w driver, so it is dimmed down 80%).

To you knowledge, is it possible to change the preset output without getting all that expensive interface equipment? Such as using the MultiOne mobile app?

Thanks for any insight you might have!

Those panels will still work somehow. Looks like when they knocked out two panels, the ones in the background started flickering. This means common driver.

Yeesh, a set of brake pads is like 35 euro at worst for a suzuki, and takes 15 minutes to swap if stuff isn't rotted in place. Even when you gotta do a complete overhaul (been there, done that... twice) you'll need those pads anyway.

Replace them. You now only have one brake. If for some reason that one fails unexpectedly, you'll have zero brakes. Riding a motorcycle is dangerous enough as it is, it's inconceivable to me how anyone could ride for a long time with a non functional safety critical device. This is exactly the sort of stuff that pushes governments towards mandatory safety checks for vehicles...

I know the front delivers most of the brake force, but the rear's not just for slowing down - it's also for stability.

What my day was like:
I spent 5 hours riding around the polders of Noord Holland. Since the big national medium wave transmitters have started to close down, space opened up for low and medium power AM transmitters. Once every so often i track one down. Get a bearing with a portable radio with ferrite antenna, mark on map. Ride a bit more. Get another bearing, see where lines on map intersect. Go to that point, get another few bearings around that area.

Took me several hours, i got bamboozled by a ham radio operator's antenna system which was a kilometer or so apart from the little AM broadcast station. Almost called it quits at the ham's setup, but i noticed that my portable radio wasn't being overloaded by strong local signals, so concluded that couldn't be it. Eventually i ended up in a residential neigborhood, and there i saw a basic wire antenna in someone's backyard. That was the one!

Speaking of brakes, my motorcycle has no rear brake as of now. The brake pads are completely gone and it's been this way for a very long time.
Literally every part of the rear brake will be replaced soon though. Until then, I usually rely on engine braking, and I stay OFF the highway, at all costs.
As for drilling, I've completely given up, and I've got help on the way for my situation. Someone is going to be working on my sportcar. Very interesting
mechanic. I'll type more about this once/if it's completed successfully.

@Wide-lite 1000, yep, those cart pipes were vertical. They almost reached the ceiling. Definitely did help though... I always knew where those carts were. lol

I (finally) found a video where some LED lights are accidentally destroyed:

Interestingly, I managed to get a 10W 4-pin PL-C CFL lamp to fire up on a simple 120V series choke ballast with an external starter hooked up to it and it stayed lit:

Bought a new tuner for my mandolin. 
It's one of these, Ria has got one, and as my Snark is always playing up I got one as well. 

The only one I’ve ever seen is the ‘SUPERL ITE’ controversy that kicked off on ATL once! 
Fellow member Kev can explain this better!

I’d have said at first its just the halides being pulled into the arc stream, but I’ve actually, (albeit very rarely), seen mercury arcs pull a tiny pink orb into the arc too!
Wonder if it’s tiny pieces of glowing electrode coming off?
