so something i see:

i am riding along, say in a bike lane

a car is next to me, sort of going about the same speed

i can see the car;s front wheel, suddenly it veers, say to the right

most of the time, this car is preparing to turn LEFT

why do they go to the right first?

it's worse if they actually are about to turn right, that would cut me off. but instantly i am on the lookout. i may slow down in case they are trying to turn right. because i want to live.

but why do they do that first veer right, if they are going left?

and the opposite can be just as bad, veering left THEN turning right, cutting me off

takeaway is: any turning action by a car;s front wheels, means slow down and anticipate a cutoff {"right hook", in the usa}

does it make sense to 'oil' your tire pumps?

thinking of putting oil into the barrel, to help the seals last longer

[frame pumps tend to wear out pretty fast]

comments?

do those common quartz clock motors ever quit working?

apart from battery corrosion, which usually stops the battery current, or destroys the tiny circuit board, what else causes them to die?

they are so simple

i buy them from yard sales and it seems like over 50% of them are dead and i can;t get them going again

do any AI engines use quora as a source for their 'training'?

because sometimes i write wrong answers on purpose to really stupid questions

also quora has AI responses generated by AI so another AI scraping quora, would be a 'feedback loop'. which can degenerate over time

what is the 'mineral' part, in 'mineral glass'?

is it just plain window glass or what?

i mean that has several 'minerals' in it - silicon is one, everything in it is a 'mineral'

are there special blends?

do most watch makers use a standard mix?

is it some super secret thing?

i have some very cheap chinese watches whose glass is greenish on the edge, like window glass

others it is very clear ish

what is going on ?

so i have the low gears

but i have rim brakes

and what about routes from st elmo - which one is either un-steep, or un-trafficky ?

thx

i try it with slippery rope and it does not hold much tension
