  1. Vegan philosophy isn't "don't eat meat" as most people assume. It's "as far as is practicable, do not exploit animals or cause them pain and suffering." So roadkill should be vegan right? It's already dead, you didn't cause anything. In fact maybe it's unethical to not eat it, since now you're just wasting the life. And you have to eat something else. Honey is an animal product, but it can be produced either with or without harm to the bees. Local, natural honey with minimal bee disruption should be vegan. Mass factory honey farming however causes great harm to both bees the the environment. Blowjobs? Well, there's some controversy there too. Here's a great post summarizing it: The usual question is, "Sperm is an animal product. What do vegans think of blow jobs? Do they just not swallow?" The point is not magical sequences of proteins or animal sources. It's about exploitation and while humans are animals we can give informed consent. Nobody is going to strap me down and steal my sperm without quite a lot of romancing and a safe word.

  2. Ooooooohhh.
  3. @Zero Knievel I haven't watched this, but thought you might be interested. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-proton-pump-inhibitors-work-for-acid-reflux-gerd/
  4. Each dose peaks right about 36 hours into it, so this tracks. You might be a candidate for Retatrutide. It has far less hunger suppression, and less mental symptoms. Low risk and cost to try.
  5. A lot of people say that fasting is a great health booster. I'm not sure that Dave is truly saying many days, but maybe? I took it as more like a day or so. Which is no big deal. I have chosen to fast many times in my life without taking these, and have never done that while taking them. I'm not sure what you're thinking. It is absolutely not normal to not eat for "days" because of a GLP-1.
  6. I don't think it matters in super concentrations like what I used, and at lower ones, not sure. I believe that @superhawk996 recommended Techron once. NOTHING should come out of it when running. Anything dumped goes to the first cylinder as he said. Mine was flowing like crazy.
  7. Then you got this, no problem. It's easy but takes a lot of time. It will become super obvious as you get into it. I agree that running a concentrated amount of FI cleaner in the tank is a good first try. In my case, three were so clogged that they wouldn't even fire at all, zero flow, and the input had a gel version of fuel in them. So no contact with gas/cleaner. Here's the basics, tell me if your FI cleaner doesn't do it and I can write up more. The injectors can fire just with 9-12v from any power supply or a battery. So you can put it in a vise or clamp, put a little cleaner in it, and then cycle it with power. This will flow the cleaner, then you can let it soak, repeat. In my case since they were so awful, I put them into a bath of 50/50 gas and FI cleaner, in a bag, and then put that in our ultrasonic cleaner for 15 minutes. They are fully good as new. I got new o-rings for them at the Acura dealer, since Honda shares parts between cars and bikes. Overall, not rocket surgery just hours of work.
  8. I had to clean three of them on my "new" XX because it had sat for 5-10 years. It's not hard to do. Is taking them out yourself something you feel confident in?
  9. That seems like a lot of work and money to avoid buying a spray can.
  10. And wire cutters though you may never need to cut a wire. It's how I got a nail shard out of the XX tire, missing the head. No grip with anything else. Flush-cut is probably the most useful, certainly smallest space requirement.
  11. This is once a day, do it as part of the morning pre-ride check, packing, etc. I previously mentioned the Silkolene version in another thread, same thing. Silkolene has a mini-bottle version to save space. Unlike oil and wax, this doesn't make a mess. It doesn't go anywhere. Caveat: I fortunately had very few rain rides Funny musing: I have never lubed the chain on my rental bikes. I've checked them at the end and they seemed fine. My longest rental was 1700 miles. Makes me think that maybe we are over-thinking this? The Pan America has the same chain, more horsepower, slightly heavier. Silkolene's Chain Lube Lineup Silkolene Pro Chain — fully synthetic racing chain lube, O-ring safe, sold as a 50ml aerosol concentrate. In a direct head-to-head test, it beat PJ1 Black Label on every measure: it lasted about 1,000 km per application (vs. PJ1's ~500 km), survived 1–2 rain events (vs. PJ1's one), had less fling-off, and the reviewer called it "really weatherproof" and the clear winner on price-per-volume.
  12. I'll take threads that sound really dirty for $800 Alex. I've had two uses where mushrooms would never work, and the ropes did. One on the XX and one on a Jeep; both were slash-type problems where I used multiple ropes slathered in glue, then waiting a bit to dry. I carry two different styles of the rope kit now in the Rivian.
  13. Today a trusted, but not yet tested Tirzepatide batch announcement hit one of my buying groups. 100mg vial, box of ten vials, $327.
