FS: 2012 Kawasaki Concours, asking $5000.00

He bought a bike here from Tom, then rode home. But PA was a rental. -
The garage was annoyingly full of them the day after you left. I had fogged the day before you got here. Marty's gets less of them but sometimes they are super annoying there. I got him a fogger yesterday, I'm tired of it. And another for myself, because the electrostatic one in the back yard is having problems again, piece of shit.
-
For everyone else, this is reference to the "skin" filament I got from China which is "SLIGHTLY" pale...

I use ULV foggers for the back yard and shop area. (They are the ones that are like a blower, with a mist, not the propane/electric heated type.). And a small pressure sprayer for spot use. The liquids at the home stores seem lame and expensive, lasting maybe two days. They are from the consumer brands and probably toned down in some way. I'm looking to improve on them, any recommendations? The space is fairly small, so cost isn't a huge issue. We want to eliminate mostly flies and other annoyances, we don't get mosquitoes often. And I have long-term sprays that seem to kill them off. Most of the listings for products tout mosquito killing as the primary benefit.

I did. LOL! Supply chain expert. You know many assembly line parts have multiple sources, changes along the way, and changes in source? Jesus dude, come on.

It was intended just to show it, but also, perfectly happy that you took it. I can make more. I need to colorize it and print it this way: The guy who did that seems to not want to give me his colored file. Also I need to buy some brown filament I guess. My patio furniture canopy supports are almost perfected, printing a (hopefully) final version now. They take nearly nine hours, doing a very structural fill with five walls, high quality, and fuzzy skin to match the texture on the furniture. Fuzzy skin adds nearly three hours. This sags in the middle and flaps around, because I replaced the damaged and shitty original with something ultra heavy. Obviously blue is for prototyping, they are being printed in black PLA and then painted with the same paint as the furniture.

Jesus, I need to tell my neighbor he got ripped off. We just did the compressor, orifice, and recharge on his kid's old Silverado and get this... Compressor $ 187 Refrigerant $ 32 Orifice tube $ 18

Compounded Tirzepatide now illegal (Zepbound, Mounjaro)
SwampNut replied to SwampNut's topic in Diet & health exchange
Reuters basically published a how-to. They emphasize the need and benefits of self-determination and knowledge. They cover the testing I've talked about and how to be safe. And this is why people can't just depend on their doctor/pharmacist for advice. There's so much lack of knowledge still. https://glp1realtalk.substack.com/p/patients-threw-away-10-million-on Here's a number that'll make your head spin: patients overpaid $10.2 million for GLP-1 medications in the first three months of 2025 alone. I wish I was making this up. A new study from DoseSpot, an e-prescribing platform, analyzed over 100,000 prescriptions for drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. What they found was pretty depressing—92% of those prescriptions could have been filled for less money. Way less money. So how did we end up here? And more importantly, why does this keep happening? -

Recently FedEx has stopped being complete fucktards for me. The tracking...tracks...and stuff arrives. They still do leave it farther from the door than anyone else, but not fully outside/exposed.
-
You're right, I glanced at the old 809 and put that in my mind. $120 is still great.
-
If you mean the DCF870B it's no longer there, and surely a scam. It's a hot new item, no discounts, or well, cheapest is $202. And a fantastic trigger it is, on power level 1 you can spin it as slow as a careful hand and it won't put much ass into it. Safe for starting screws. On 3 it will blow a 3/8" bolt through a piece of solid steel.

You made me shop, fucker. Can't justify the cost to upgrade for the few times I wish for the hydraulic impact. And the Atomic is $85 today on Amazon, didn't check it on other sites.
-
I have the Atomic, and have considered the hydraulic one for very specific needs that likely don't apply to you. The Atomic is usually under $90 at any given time, the other one is never discounted that I can find. The Atomic is crazy powerful, even in some pretty hard mechanical duty. The question you want answered is not what I would buy, but what you should buy. I can't imagine any scenario where you will need the XR, and having used the Atomic for three years, I can count on a hand how many times the XR would be *slightly* better for me in specialized tasks.

I bet none of those women have one.

Compounded Tirzepatide now illegal (Zepbound, Mounjaro)
SwampNut replied to SwampNut's topic in Diet & health exchange
Probably more, don't know. The last time I lost quite a bit of weight all of my exercise measures went way up. -
Looks great. But you didn't iron it. Ceramic coating?

You need new sources for medical info. Losing weight doesn’t inherently make you weaker, but it can if the process involves significant muscle loss or inadequate nutrition. Strength depends on muscle mass, training, and energy availability. Here’s a breakdown: Calorie Deficit and Muscle Loss: Weight loss often requires a calorie deficit, which can lead to muscle breakdown if protein intake is too low or exercise isn’t prioritized. Studies show that without resistance training, up to 25% of weight lost can be muscle, reducing strength. Exercise Matters: Incorporating strength training during weight loss preserves muscle and maintains or even improves strength. Research indicates that resistance training can offset muscle loss in a deficit, keeping you strong. Nutrition Impact: Insufficient protein or overall calories can impair performance, making you feel weaker. Aim for 0.7–1g of protein per pound of body weight daily to support muscle retention. Rapid Weight Loss: Crash diets or extreme cuts (e.g., for sports) can deplete glycogen, reduce energy, and temporarily lower strength. Gradual loss (0.5–1% body weight per week) minimizes this. Body Composition: Losing fat while maintaining muscle can make you relatively stronger, as you’re moving less body weight. For example, a leaner athlete may perform better in bodyweight exercises like pull-ups. Context matters—athletes cutting weight for competition might feel weaker temporarily, while someone losing fat methodically with proper training often doesn’t. If you’re losing weight and feeling weak, check your protein, training, and calorie balance. Want me to dig into any specific aspect, like a sport or diet plan? -

I was interviewed for this, and am shocked at how well balanced it is. Normally MSM just sides with big pharma. None of the names are real in the article which I was also happy about, as I explained the problems that naming people has caused in the past. I don't necessarily hide anything, but also not looking forward to being named in another federal complaint. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/stung-by-high-prices-americans-make-their-own-weight-loss-drugs-2025-06-27/ Spencer, 50, is not part of any drug trial but mixes the cocktails herself, using tiny doses that she believes are safe. The total cost is about $50 monthly, as little as one-tenth of what she would expect to pay their makers for full treatment. The drugs – glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) weight-loss medicines – are manufactured and shipped from China, according to the packaging. She orders them through online vendors. Spencer belongs to a fast-growing group of Americans turning to what many call the "gray market" for obesity medicines, bringing cheap active ingredients from China often labeled as for research purposes, according to import data and social media postings. It's a trend that drugmakers Lilly and Novo Nordisk, which makes Wegovy, say is dangerous as well as illicit.
