Ah, I see. They only run on electricity that is paid for in a particular way.

So El Salvador’s plans to become a crypto mining hub will fail because they will use bitcoin to pay for the electricity to run their servers and not fiat. Someone should let them know.

Plans to use geothermal Energy, seems they are one step ahead.

The fenicular disaster in Kaprun was also a very serious accident with loss of life. Watched a documentary on youtube very little safety systems / redundancy in place.

I owned a t5 for 9 years and have repaced it with an Amarok 2.0l, does 35mpg av most of the time, a little more with care.
It has 5 seats, air bags etc air con and sat nav etc, a T5 with the same spec mileage would have cost a lot more. Has a high seating position, great on bumpy poholed roads. Will wade through 600mm of water which is handy in flash floods we seem to get more often. Was also usefull in the recent snow etc.
I have a canopy on the back which us essential for security with bikes etc.

Not fast but fast enough given the traffic, nice relaxing drive.
Bit of a pain to park but some forward thinking and it’s ok.

Look up jackery dont have one but could be a solution

On trading 212 you can buy a fractional share

Some nice stuff on the heinnie haynes wab site.

Early days ( and a bit risky ) but you can lend your bitcoin and earn intrest on it. You could also takeout a loan and use it as collateral.

Bitcoin is fully transparent on the Blockchain so it’s of no use to the criminal community.
Apple soon to join the party.

Time to join the party.

The big institutions are now looking and investing clients money into crypto, and in the US the SEC this is what will push up the prices.

Ivandobski and Finbar are spot on.
Take a look at the interviews that Michael saylor has been putting out this week, this is
What may be helping the price increase today.

Good to see some discussion in this site at last but not suprising that less than 1% own crypto.

They are just trying to scare away the weak hands, so the institutions can buy at lower prices.

What if Apple or Tesla buy bitcoin as microstrategy are doing ?

Had the same for years, I have put it down to sinus and irregular sleep patterns.

Put 1% into bitcoin it’s up 40% this month, likley to fall a bit as people may take proffit so keep an eye on it. Now that Paypal are accepting it in the US its likely to gain a lot more intrest.

If available on an options list i would get lowered springs, look and ride much better with them.,

Check out the outdoor boys youtube channel, he has made a diy forge and makes all kinds of things including knives etc. A good project was shaping a kife out of a rasp then heat treating and making a handle. Pick up a cheap rasp from q diy shop and give it a go!

I once saw Greg Lemond riding out through the doors of a bank in Vail on a BMX, so it is possible!

Isis on the quay side in Barmouth, is good i assume it’s open

On very slippery downhill tracks off camber roots etc it’s better not to peddle as the weight transfer is enough to upset the ballance and cause a fall.

Broke my tib and fib about 15 years ago on the Dyfi Enduro.
Took a while to get back on the bike but made a 100% recovery, take it easy and listen to the doctors.
Use the free time to do something else, I learnt the guitar andAutoCad.

Antur stiniog,
Train from crewe or chester to llandudno junction, hop on the train to blaenau ffestiniog then walk up the road about 20 mins and you are there.m

Corrado vr6 or an early Audi S3 ?

You have to ce carefull when fitting rear seats as they should be crash tested, with VW T5’s rear seat belt mountings to the body are often required. Normal vans dont have this and aftermarket brackes are welded in.
Better to have factory fitted seats as it’s less hassle to insure and ultimatley safer.

The peak is not over for us here in North West Wales, there are hot spots in Anglesea one being centred around a large chicken proccesing plant.
Looking forward to hitting the trail centres and visiting friends and family more than 5 miles away.
I can understand why they are cautious.

If the speed limit is 50 then its the same as a van, if 60 then as a car with similar emissions.
I suspect the speed limit is 60 on a shuttle.

“The keep” directed by Michael Mann was filmed in slate quarry in my home town, used to wander on the set after school as there was no security. Fantastic as we made friends with the operators of the smoke machines and they would tell us what time they where fillming and allow us to stand and watch. Also saw the directors 911 sunk in quarry mud, to se a car like that in our town was a rarity nevermind treated like that. An episode of doctor who followec a few years later but it was not possible to gain access.

The Risk of crashing and putting a strain on the syetem has made me think twice, went out saturday morning but gave my usual blast down my local Downhill track a wide berth.

It was like a bank holliday in Snowdownia Yesterday, car parks rammed
Taken from the BBC Web site,

Snowdonia National Park has said yesterday’s scenes were “unprecedented”.

Chief executive of the Snowdonia National Park Authority Emyr Williams said: “The area has been overwhelmed with visitors.

“More worrying still is the significant crowding on the mountain summits and trails making it impossible to maintain effective social distancing.”

The park said: “If no further steps are taken we will need to take drastic measures to protect the communities and health services in north Wales, such as shutting down car parks and trails.”

Head over to the zip world site at Blaenau it’s on the same site as Antur Stiniog and book an uplift while the Mrs Zip’s

POR 15 is one of the best on the market, or paint over rust.
You can get a kit on ebay for about 22 pounds follow the instuctions to the letter.
Loads of videos on youtube.
Better than the halfrauds stuff.

Take a look on “pistonheads” ask a car dealer anything thread. A long read but you will pick up a lot on how the industry works and how they make money from finance deals etc.

The volutary ban was set up with the help of NWBA or the North Wales Mountain Bike Association around the early 90s. Adrian Walls was instramental in setting it up.

This was mainly due to people from large cities who had never been up a mountain or had any respect for walkers riding flat out down the mountain.

Please stick to the agreed times, mid week evenings are the best, reach the top 30mins before dusk.

Good place, took my road bike and cycled up to the beach then up the coast on a cycle track. Roundabouts have crossings just for bikes, out of this world.
Roterdam was also very nice with the maritime meusium and modern architecture etc.
Also cycled around the outskirts of the hauge, amazing houses some with very expenive cars parked outside.

Simple answer, because it’s not cool.

Nuke proof scalp, trek session or possibly an early carbon v10
