  1. It belongs to some Instagrammer in the UK, so yes. I find it odd that it's had three different rear seat cowls in a few years.
  2. Low, indirect, multi source. I have three LED bulbs around 5-6w and about 3500K. MacBooks have a light sensor so the monitor color temp and brightness adjusts to ambient. The Window is mostly covered by a thick sheet of foam insulation. Most importantly, nothing that can reflect from a monitor, in the slightest way.
  3. In a perfect world you have the tire's high point opposite the wheel's high point, giving the best pre-weight balance.
  4. So Tomek confirms that I really do need a full dynamic balance, got it.
  5. When I googled the issue, this was the top answer on the forum forums.
  6. I was able to make one, but got the error you gave if either I had no text in the normal text post section, or had not title for the poll. Maybe take a screen shot of the two tabs.
  7. @OMG? https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2003-Honda-CBR+1100XX-5030300944 Nice machine, first one I've seen in a long time that probably should command a high asking price.
  8. Until you need a more dynamic balance. The last tire had offset weights on both sides of the wheel. Did it absolutely need it? Dunno. I'm extremely uninterested in solving this by doing it, I'll solve it by changing shops.
  9. It's decent, I like it, and I'm sure it will do what I need. Unfortunately there's no way to set the correct pressure for my mountain bike, which runs at about 22 psi. None of the modes will let you store that, you have to just do it manually every time. Dumb. I don't intend to use it for the MTB but figured I might. I carry CO2 on it, and don't need to air down/up.
  10. My only objection to *informed* personal choices is when people continue to come to me with the same complaints after repeatedly choosing to eat crap. My neighbor, for example. Dishonest choices based on lying to one's self are also retarded. Also a nutritionist I worked with years ago like to say that the path to better health is simple. But not easy. Meaning we know exactly how to do it but the entire society is against it and we're programmed to not do it.
  11. Have you tried green things roasted/sauteed and not steamed in any way? I thought I hated green things, then learned, not long ago, that it was just steaming that caused the awful flavor. This includes frozen veggies which are all par-boiled. Even just putting a lid on cooking green things causes enough steam for me to dislike them. I don't get this; he said "mitigated" and never "an easy full fix." Eating plant based mitigated my joint pain and prevented surgery.
  12. I had one of the exhaust powered "jack" balloons for the Gladiator, remarkably effective. I got the compressor, used it a couple times, it's good. I'm doing a full charge now, then will do a video of using it.
  13. Not just died, but went through something where they wish they had. Leon's sister (neighbor, close friend) is in this situation. I don't think she's gone a single day in life without beef, accompanied by the typical garbage sides. She'll eat a vegetable.....covered in butter or cheese. Anyway, she just had multiple colon surgeries and had a cardiac event on the table, it was sketchy. Recovery from each surgery is "the worst pain imaginable." She has sworn to eat more plants and less trash. I've volunteered to walk over and help any time. So far she's quit smoking and has lost 40 pounds. Leon meanwhile has major knee pain when he's eating junk, but like me, it goes away when he doesn't. We figured this out on a hunt, where he just couldn't keep up with me and our third friend. Once he cut out the junk he could. But then his sister moved in, and made sure that everyone ate the same junk she's addicted to. So no, it's not about living longer, it's about living well while you're here. It comes down to basic life loves; Leon couldn't go hunt-hike for more than half a mile or so, while we all want to do a few miles.
  14. Eating well is about living well as you age, not necessarily longer. I started on the path because of chronic and acute joint pain. Wouldn't want to live longer with it.
  15. LOL. Doing your best to always be backwards on every topic I see.
  16. Sent to my friends about dinner tonight: Then I compared lamb. The results are…we are going to die after tonight’s meal. Most unhealthy thing I’ve made in a very long time. Very high fat and everything else that you shouldn’t eat. LOL Glaze/marinade is Luxardo cherry with bourbon and dark rum. So fat, sugar, alcohol. They will provide balance. We're fine.
  17. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/friday-favorites-are-beyond-meat-and-the-impossible-burger-healthy/?subscriber=true Interesting comparison, I had no idea that Alzheimer’s/dementia was among the many problems linked to beef consumption. In summary, while plant based meat substitutes are somewhat processed and adulterated, they are still far better for you than beef. This led me to compare bison, which also is a good comparison against beef. This is the most brief summary I found on that: https://www.research.va.gov/currents/summer2013/summer2013-10.cfm Then there's this retarded bullshit.
  18. TBF, Zero is pretty much a caretaker for his mom, and that should be admired.
  19. Not mocking, just a statement. If someone can't be trusted to use a power plug, they also can't use the hose or keep it charged. Just that simple. A battery powered emergency device is retarded. Also it turns out my neighbor bit on the Airmoto scam site and got the four pack, which you have to if you want a fair price. Two have failed he said. He confirmed they are the same unit as what I got. Ordered this, happened to be 40% off today. Good review on Adv Rider.
  20. 100%. Joe unfortunately the real issue is balancing. I'm sure I could change a dirt tire, of course, pretty sure I know where the tools are even. But not balance it. And that's what they are claiming is the delay. Today around 11 or noon I'll go there and just take back whatever they have in whatever state it's in, and go to another shop as needed.
  21. Dude wut? Both of my cars came with a Slime brand kit with a sealer and a compressor that plugs into the 12v outlet formerly called a cigarette lighter. It fills the tire in about three minutes or so, as often as you need. It keeps working when frozen (batteries don't) and won't self destruct when super hot (batteries do). It doesn't need to be kept charged. Reminds me, I bet the jump pack in the Smart is dead, because well, fucking batteries. The Smart even has a place built in to hold the compressor and Slime bottle, since modern cars don't have spares. The Tesla just has it in the sub-trunk. Your friend is probably too stupid to connect the hose, or to keep the battery charged.
  22. Thought of you as I stew over the second day after "it will be done in a couple hours tops." The front of the bike is in the air, I want to do things to it that require it being outside. (Aluminum cleaner, drain fuel.). I'm thinking maybe I can put the forks in my garden cart, but not sure I can get the cart around the bike to the front of it. Couple of neighbors to carry it? These fuckerheads gave me a bad feeling when I dropped off the wheel. The counter guy was pretty wasted at 10am, Snoop would have looked at him and said, "Too much bro." They used to be good. Also, I guess I should note, the shop is called "Screwie Lewie's" after all.
  23. It arrived, it's retarded huge and going back. I know the listings had size, I guess it didn't really scale from numbers to how much space it wastes. It would be fine for a car but why would you ever have a battery powered compressor in a car? Dumb.
  24. An automatic attack mitigation system blocked most access from about 9am to 10:30. Fun.
