it occurred to me that one way to move some trailer weight around might be to put it on the cargo rack with a bungee cord

loop it around so there’s down force on the far side

seems to work

I put 95lbs / 43kg or so on the back of the cargo trailer pushing down on it (using a scale for value) and there really wasn’t much if any torsion on the hitch after that - obviously the actual stress there is much less because of leverage, but I was putting the weight where the cargo goes and that’s what you want

i also remembered I had these vibration dampening squares from another project a while ago and tried that with a new wheel attachment

#BikeTooter #BikeTrailer

this combined with a complete dampening block on top between the securement plate and the cargo bin floor resulted in much less noise! it’s still loud but no longer comedically so

why is it off angle don’t ask it was stupid

of course both is always good

#BikeTooter #CargoTrailer

so I’m kinda thinking the bungee is the right decision most of the time with an attachable wheel for when I know the cargo is real heavy

like “probably heavier than I should be carrying in a plastic kid carrier but I’m doing it anyway” heavy

so I can drill some holes to run some bolts… hm. i want some kind of quick-connect system now but I don’t know if that’s viable

If we have so much good AI tech why can't anyone make a spell check that I can't stump?

A few times a week I must go to the dictionary (like a cavewoman!) or search the web since I've mangled some word in such a way that there are no suggestions. It's just "wrong" what's wrong with it? Who knows!

Could it be a scientific name and just not in the dictionary? Maybe! Could it be an obscure word with a pretentious UK spelling? Probably! Could it be wrong? Also probably.

Do this first AI lords.

@depereo i will say that as "exception rules that confuse people" rules go, this one makes a lot more sense to me than, say, baseball's infield fly rule.

TFW your spouse's iMac has 20Mb(!) free out of 2Tb because they tried to use Adobe Cloud for something and now all attempts to reboot keep hanging (filesystem is okay, though) so the next step is to try for Target Disk mode and a cable to a laptop in order to delete cached junk and logfiles until it will boot enough for them to clean up properly …

UNIXen have never been great about coping with full disks/SSDs, but this is a new nadir, and fuck you very much, Adobe Creative Suite.

@jwz @cstross I still have my 2012 Macbook Pro because it has a Windows 2000 VM where I can run my old student-license Photoshop 5.5 and Illustrator 8.0 installs from 1999!

oh gods they're 25 years old this fall

good, even with the glue seams from assembling four tiled sheets, it folds pretty well into a reasonable size (4 3/8 by 6 1/2 inches / 11 by 27 cm)

I mean, not that anyone’s going to use it that way, but it’s nice to know it works.
