  1. The Scorpions follow my "hand space" rule but not directly aligned. Dunlop Tech2 Pro is dead center. So it whatever 80/20 front I stuck on the XR, forgot what it is, probably STI.
  2. I've never seen them precisely aligned, but if I put a hand on the TWI legend then I expect my hand to cover 1-2 wear bars. I've never paid attention to wear bars. Does the tire look safe for the upcoming riding? Yah, nah? Fuck, now I'm gonna have to go out and look at the TWI alignment on all of them.
  3. Oh, interesting. I guess I sort of knew that, my Apple Watch monitors blood sugar but is not covered, yet the prescribed dedicated monitor is (which obviously, I didn't get). It costs more than the low end Watch. And also I had to fight with the pharmacy to NOT buy the fucking thing, because they didn't actually understand that the sensors work without it, and with just the Apple Watch. I had to um...as they say, be my own pharmacist. LOL
  4. One meaning you, yes, but not me. I am still confused as to why you'd assume that. I do agree that your 10k life is great and you're due.
  5. "So you'll cover the treadwear warranty and lifetime balance and rotation right?" I'd like to offer something on the original post, but this short-circuited me: WHY??? I've never found a distinct correlation between those. If anything the opposite. The sport tires cost more and give shorter life. I just chose a 60k rated tire for the Rivian over a more expensive 40k OEM tire. I did the same on the Tesla. I don't recall specific wear:cost ratios on motorcycles, and have never noticed one. The less expensive Avons gave me more life than others for more money, but not enough to stay as a specific memory.
  6. Right, I'm familiar with it, but don't know the answer on whether its legal or not. I bet someone will be a test case. Sort of how our advisor said to write off only half of anything that might be business but also has clearly personal value. No way to argue that I don't use my phone for personal things, etc.
  7. Huh, fuck, shit, that would be an interesting loophole. Then the Watch would apply too, if the same reasoning works. I don't like shit in my ears for hours. Moriah does that, I don't get it. An hour or two on a plane, and I pull them for an ear stretch for five minutes. Four hours and I'm done, mostly don't even wear them on the jetway or in the terminal.
  8. I really can't decide if the color is annoying-interesting or just annoying-annoying. Fine line. I'd like to see it in person. There's some sporty car in that color that looks ok, and the similar Jeep color looks ok in person. But never photograph well.
  9. Fuck the hearing aid industry. Sleazy. Apple is pretty heavily invested in health improvements that cost so little compared to legacy solutions. https://www.theverge.com/24275178/apple-airpods-pro-hearing-aid-test-protection-preview Apple’s AirPods Pro hearing health features are as good as they sound The AirPods Pro 2 will soon offer more robust hearing protection and a new hearing aid feature. But it’s the hearing test that really hooked me.
  10. You should move to America, where we can do things like that.
  11. This seems cheap. The number checks out to a legit vehicle seller and location. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2003-Honda-CBR+1100XX+SUPER+BLACKBIRD-5033763450

    Ratchet help

    If that's for a gun, then you need the gun-specific set, not just a random normal wide flat. I learned unfortunately. Otherwise no idea, I use my small bits with a small ratchet they came with, and large bits with a large ratchet.

    Ratchet help

    You need to make mid-grade bits fit into the tool for the top-grade bits you already have...?? And they don't? I'm confused.
