    Pretty cold. Discoveries I made this morning:EVA rubber boots are no longer flexible and difficult to wear until your feet warm them up.LCD displays stop working.The fancy microcontroller thermometer had an integer overflow and showed +64°C when it was... I guess -31 or 32? 😆 The -25°C winter wiper fluid is now solid, but it shouldn't damage the cars as it has contracted rather than expanded like water does.The barn cat is still alive and got warm water and leftover porridge.LRT reports -34°C in nearby Ukmergė and that diesel engines can't run on jelly. Apparently LPG vehicles had problems too, not enough Propane in the mix: https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2825089/lithuania-records-lowest-temperatures-in-30-years-cold-disrupts-public-transport#Lithuania #Cold #Winter #Diesel #Physics #Electronics

    Saw this last week in Boston, along with little video of it in action. Rather than self-balancing electronics this bike share concept angles the back wheels out so it can drive to you, then when person is ready the wheels straighten up and lock back into place. I don't think it will pick itself up after a renter unceremoniously dumps it on the sidewalk. #BikeTooter #electronics #engineering

    I was out and about earlier and saw this box on a phone pole. Anyone know what it is? It's got a BEST brand marine padlock on it, which the city of Seattle uses for a lot of long-term outdoor applications, so I suspect it may be city-installed/managed (unlike the smaller white Ricochet boxes with one antenna).#AskFedi #Wireless #Telephony #Electronics
