Having not written anything about my #tricycle project in months, I've now written two posts in two days. Here's the first:

Rethinking the tricycle drive train

Rethinking the tricycle drive train
I've been rereading my posts on design of a tricycle, and especially this one; and I've been looking again at this picture, of Seventy Seven's removable front subframe which carries its front wheel, steering, and transmission systems; and I've been thinking. This will be a short post documenting my thoughts.

Esto del acuerdo EU - EEUU de 15% aranceles a EU (nada a EEUU?), acuerdo de gastar miles de millones en petroleo, gas y armas de EEUU; me parece un muy mal acuerdo del que Europa es la única que cede para gastar mšs en cosas que deberíamos dejar de gastar para consumir interno en renovables y defensa soberana. Y lo vende como un logro Von Der Leyen...

Kalb-Ramond Black Holes Sourced by ModMax Electrodynamics: Some Perturbative Properties in the Phantom Sector
We formulate and analyze a new class of electrically charged black hole (BH) solutions in Lorentz-violating gravity, where nonlinear ModMax electrodynamics is nonminimally coupled to a Kalb-Ramond (KR) two-form field. The spontaneous breaking of local Lorentz symmetry is triggered by a nonzero vacuum expectation value of the KR field, characterized by a small dimensionless parameter $\ell$. To incorporate both standard and phantom sectors, we introduce a discrete sign-flip parameter $ζ= \pm1$,…

@… I guess, the contents of a FreeBSD_Install partition could be written to non-removable storage (instead of a memory stick).

Non-singular bouncing cosmology in $f(T, \mathcal{T})$ gravity with energy condition violations
The singularity and inflationary problems have posed significant challenges for understanding the universe's origin and evolution. Bouncing cosmology has emerged as a promising alternative to standard cosmological models, offering a non-singular approach to early universe dynamics by facilitating a "bounce" rather than a singular beginning. In this study, we explore the feasibility of modeling specific bouncing scenarios within the framework of $ f(T, \mathcal{T}) $ gravity, allowing for a comp…

History’s booming in podcasts – but many of its academics are out of a job
We live in momentous times, with history podcasts and books more popular than ever. So why is the academic discipline in crisis?

I doubt these are the last 3 Tandon Data PACs in captivity but they may be.
I'm considering dismantling them and driving a spike through the drives.
For anyone wondering, they were removable drives that had 30Mb and 40Mb capacities. There was no controller electronics that was a separate board on the PC. And we had dual bay small tower PCs as well.
The original customer was Xerox.
Essentially they ate up remanufactured drives which otherwise had become difficult…
