  1. I'm happy to provide for our hangout. It's not big work, a thing here and there. Most of it is pretty similar to my main work so it's stuff I already know and have the tools for. The forum runs Invision software to give you this user interface. That sits on a Centos Linux server, which is inside of a virtualized container on a massive (multi room sized) computing and storage cluster. I control Linux and up, others control the hardware and virtualization layer.
  2. Unfortunately, the time error came back and now we have mismarked posts again. Fuck. I've submitted a ticket to the VMware host, as this was supposedly fixed.
  3. Very much so. It's conceivable that it could be used against you, and it has also been used to exonerate people who were wrongly accused and even convicted. All swords have two edges. Meanwhile I've learned some interesting things and modified behavior that will/has improved my health based on the data.
  4. I need to apply some Linux kernel updates that require a reboot. I'm going to do other checks and maintenance. There will be about a 10-20 minute outage later today. Not sure on time, will fit it in with other work today.
  5. Tinfoil, no documented cases. Here's the actual policy on how/what LE can get from them: https://www.23andme.com/law-enforcement-guide/
  6. I have two of these available, let me know if anyone wants them.
  7. It probably wasn't truly plain text. I've had an issue with some crap coming over on the clipboard before, and got this error. Cleaning it by pasting into a plain text editor and then copying it back in fixes the problem.
  8. I thank the gods I don't believe in. I was already picturing the argument (it has happened before). The SV is the standard suggestion for a reason. And I 100% agree. Also, the bike is a shitload of fun for experienced riders too, unlike other starter bikes such as the Ninja 250.
  9. Yeah, women who ride the XX need to be tall and reasonably strong. My chick has a 32" inseam and finds it hard to deal with, but she has no upper body strength. I have a friend who is a motorcycle cop and she isn't comfortable on the XX because of height. Her favorite bike, a K1200RS, is heavier but low with all the weight at the bottom. Also, it is positively retarded for anyone to ride a XX as a first bike. It is 2x so for a woman unless she's the size of an average guy.
  10. Are they the Evo, or the first gen? I'm not in the market, but just asking because other buyers likely want to know. Evo has a silver shark fin, first gen has a flip antenna.
  11. "I know what it's worth" always seems to correlate with evidence to the contrary.
  12. I believe they measured the run at about 77 feet.
  13. I shot some track day video of a custom car I built with a few people earlier today. Once edited, I'll post.
  14. Ur amateur interrogator and cannot make him talk! Seriously though, I've tried and tried to get that answer myself, it's not to be found. This is because I'm a Cuban moron, of course. Are you Cuban too?
  15. Only morons don't understand Professional explanations.
  16. For a second, I thought, "Maybe he'll actually answer slapper's honest question instead of creating shitshow where everyone else is a moron and he's a sooperjenus." In thinking that, it proves I'm stupid and don't learn from history. Nice try though.
  17. As a nerd, I read "race cams" as something like a go pro to record your race video. I just now got it.
  18. 12 years, now that would be a record for holding parts.
  19. Oh hell no. Fuck no. You're just looking for trouble. Green is NOT an appropriate color for an engine part.
  20. It depends on the size. There are at least three sizes of them. The tiny ones are for bicycles. Medium ones require a few to fill a motorcycle tire. With a large one I got around 20-25 PSI, so two do the job. I carry some tiny and mediums on the mountain bike, with a wood plug to adapt both sizes to the filler.
  21. Last night I had to assure a neighbor's wife that the bowl covered in beeswax which I used to help her kid make a mold with glue and cardboard could indeed be washed and used again. Sigh. Simple physics.
  22. The first time I worked on her bike, she asked about options for cleaning the parts. I gave a few others, and she said, "People on the forums say the dishwasher is the best, why not just do that?" I've also cleaned a large batch of .50 brass in the clothes washer. I don't understand the issue with putting something dirty inside a cleaning machine.
  23. Yeah, "just give me what was in the picture" is a very reasonable expectation. The art thing cracks me up, because if it were art, I would expect imperfections. I have purchased art that was not exactly the same as the original demo/prototype. I would expect fairings to NOT be art, and to be closer to perfect. I had one of those. Offered a discount for a totally unusable product. Absolutely could not be used, nor repaired. Uh. No. Then same shit about sending it back on my own dime.
