You go on a head. I'll give these two a lift.

I take off and start Gravity Turn ~1000m altitude. I turn off SAS and follow Prograde. So far so good.

If I stay at or slightly ahead of Prograde, My Maneuver Node says I'm reaching 80km Apoapsis long before Prograde has me nearly level. Like around 35km.

So I stage my Thumpers (28km and cut Throttle to about 35% on my Swivel Engine.)

When I see 80km I cut engine but I'm still showing Apoapsis way too soon on the Lower Left Maneuver readout.

I'm not sure what the problem is. No matter what I do, I'm showing Apoapsis of ~85km and my Periapsis is -500,000m. I burn Prograde but by the time I even get the Periapsis anywhere near Zeroed, my Apoapsis is up so high I'm 250km or there about.

PS; As for the pic, I was quickly back exactly to due East and then waited for Prograde marker to catch up.

I just bought a fat-tire ebike. It's a new brand, Monarc Greenway is the make/model.

It has Kenda All-Terrain tires. 26"x 4" knobby ones.

I have them inflated to 15 lbs.

When I put a tape measure on the floor and measure through the axle to the top of the tire, the Diameter is 29".

How can that be? What am I missing here?

It's a non-climate controlled shed.

I'm using Rock and Roll Gold lube but I'm in a sub-tropical climate.

What can to do to keep the chain from rusting?

Thanks!

Scott Manley has one that I used years ago but it's pretty old now,(11 years)

Is there one you might suggest?

He had a bad attitude.

I had one of these people ask me near the end of a Telegram session, "When exactly will you be able to invest $300 into some wallet."

I immediately blocked his ass and left this forum. I suggest others leave this sub as well.

THIS IS NOT KRAKEN SUPPORT.

Yesterday I bought BTC. Today I added USD.

I bought more BTC with it but now shows I have bought USD and my BTC that WAS in my Portfolio is gone.

I could use some help

I am using Kraken Pro on desktop.

Yesterday I did an instant transfer to my spot wallet, bought some BTC and Kraken shows it's complete and I now have that BTC in my Portfolio.

My Bank, however shows absolutely no record of this, not even as a pending transaction. Strange.

My second question is, why did I pay 10% fee on this transaction? I tried Kraken since it's supposed to have really low fees.

Can you help with these 2 issues?

Thanks

So, I started using the ones that appear bottom left under the, Maneuver tab.

They're no better. If I want, say, Retrograde, how do I get that center part with the two opposing arrows adjust either Retro or Prograde?

What am I missing here?

There a link to one that I see everywhere but I'm told to come out of "read only" mode, I need to go to file menu and make a copy.

Did that 4 times and it's a loop within another loop. I'm asked each time to make a copy. So, what ever.

Can some recommend one? Or even instructions on how to make one in Excel?

I have some facility with MS Excel so that's an option.

Thanks?

I'm brand new to Crypto but I thought I'd get my toes wet with little BTC,

I've been taking the Binance Academy courses and watching videos and taking notes by a Tuber named, Craig Percoco.

I'm pretty sure Binance is a trusted source of info and I've opened an Advanced Account on Coinbase with a debit card verified on it.

I'm thinking of a buy and hold approach to BTC with some Swing Trading later on. Maybe even some Day Trading.

For those with experience, am I on a good path?

Happy investing!

I must give credit where credit is due.

I have an issue with my Xfinity App that won't let me see my WiFi page.

The engineers have worked on it and it was several thousand people with the same problem.

They have solved it finally and are working on a fix to push out.

Both the Xfinity employees in this forum and the Engineers have kept in touch. The Engineers have personally called me with 3 updates!

So, Kudos!

It's a letter from Union Army Officer Sullivan Ballou to his beloved wife, Sarah.

He was a lawyer and politician from Rhode Island.

I was made aware of this letter in the excellent Ken Burns' "The Civil War" The letter was read to close Episode 1 while the bitter-sweet strains of, "Ashokan Farewell" played.

I quote it here as it moved me to tears

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

July the 14th, 1861

Washington D.C.

My very dear Sarah:

The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days—perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more.

Our movement may be one of a few days duration and full of pleasure—and it may be one of severe conflict and death to me. Not my will, but thine O God, be done. If it is necessary that I should fall on the battlefield for my country, I am ready. I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in, the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans upon the triumph of the Government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing—perfectly willing—to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt.

But, my dear wife, when I know that with my own joys I lay down nearly all of yours, and replace them in this life with cares and sorrows—when, after having eaten for long years the bitter fruit of orphanage myself, I must offer it as their only sustenance to my dear little children—is it weak or dishonorable, while the banner of my purpose floats calmly and proudly in the breeze, that my unbounded love for you, my darling wife and children, should struggle in fierce, though useless, contest with my love of country.

Sarah, my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me to you with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me irresistibly on with all these chains to the battlefield.

The memories of the blissful moments I have spent with you come creeping over me, and I feel most gratified to God and to you that I have enjoyed them so long. And hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes of future years, when God willing, we might still have lived and loved together and seen our sons grow up to honorable manhood around us. I have, I know, but few and small claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me—perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my little Edgar—that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battlefield, it will whisper your name.

Forgive my many faults, and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless and foolish I have often been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears every little spot upon your happiness, and struggle with all the misfortune of this world, to shield you and my children from harm. But I cannot. I must watch you from the spirit land and hover near you, while you buffet the storms with your precious little freight, and wait with sad patience till we meet to part no more.

But, O Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the brightest day and in the darkest night—amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours—always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath; or the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by.

Sarah, do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for me, for we shall meet again.

As for my little boys, they will grow as I have done, and never know a father's love and care. Little Willie is too young to remember me long, and my blue-eyed Edgar will keep my frolics with him among the dimmest memories of his childhood. Sarah, I have unlimited confidence in your maternal care and your development of their characters. Tell my two mothers his and hers I call God's blessing upon them. O Sarah, I wait for you there! Come to me, and lead thither my children.

Sullivan

Sullivan was wounded one week later in battle & took Heaven by the way one week after that.

His Sarah never remarried and lived with her son until her death.

A tick will drop off of you once you're dead.

I'm using Khan Academy.

I can make no sense of this lesson.

Sometimes things click when I hear a different instructor explain things.

There's really not much on YouTube for this.

Is there a learning source on this topic you could recommend?

Thank you!
