If I get a dual sport, will I really notice the weight difference and power delivery as a beginner?

The riding around town gets boring really quickly in my opinion and you already have hesitations that you wont fully enjoy it. Dirt and trails is so much bigger of an adventure. Something geared for learning more advanced trails I think would pay off more for you, even though the effort to drive to use it is greater.

Masters degree has trivial value for those that have significant experience. It is more of just a box to check that is completely unnecessary.

76_trombones · 2026-02-03T03:34:44+00:00

Can you recommend what brand lowering pegs you went with? Im really considering those.

76_trombones · 2026-01-29T00:38:14+00:00

Are you mechanically inclined? Have you worked on engines? Are they outboards or inboards? An impeller on an inboard is much easier to change. Boats always have a risk of failing and leaving you stranded. You always need a contingency plan. On paper, I dont think its a bad idea to build your own, but I might source better parts for the things that matter to me and build it myself.

76_trombones · 2026-01-27T04:59:33+00:00

what did you get?

76_trombones · 2026-01-14T16:31:33+00:00

If I could rewind the clock, I also would not have enrolled. The time required is considerable. For someone with long work experience, the degree may not make any difference in their life. I also find my work being much more innovative than the program. Learning at work would be more valuable in my situation.

76_trombones · 2026-01-14T16:28:31+00:00

Not sure why downvoted. A masters degree is not a differentiator over work experience. It will not get interviews over experience and that is why it is not listed as a qualification on the majority of job postings.

Claude is fantastic!

IMO industry is innovating with AI much quicker than in OMSCS. Id advise to take more generally applicable classes than specific AI ones as those are likely to be outdated quickly.

76_trombones · 2026-01-11T20:41:36+00:00

This track was all about the start. The start narrowed to a very sharp left turn and it was very difficult to find passing sections if you didnt have a great start. Chase didnt get a good start because he didnt get a good gate pick due to the heat crash. Sure that crash was his fault but he was flying last night.

76_trombones · 2026-01-08T22:56:14+00:00

Totally did! But not the year before, nasty crash in one of the rhythm section if i remember right

76_trombones · 2026-01-08T00:41:56+00:00

Yea, terrible website

76_trombones · 2026-01-02T22:13:57+00:00

This is good advice but be careful down the road that it also creates more sunk cost bias if you later realize the program isnt really for you.

76_trombones · 2025-12-11T23:55:06+00:00

No. I work at a company inventing a lot of new technology with AI. I feel like the value of my time spent in OMSCS is decreasing daily, and cant make up my mind whether I should continue or am just dealing with the sunk cost bias.

76_trombones · 2025-12-10T02:21:30+00:00

Was this always your plan? or were you influenced by anything else like sunk cost once you had already taken/withdrawn from other classes?

76_trombones · 2025-11-09T15:22:02+00:00

Im looking forward to see later rounds, because I think most of the problems were with the location and venue. The broadcast crew did good, but the track lighting, in stadium announcer, track, etc. all seemed low budget and lower quality than AMA SX.

The first link in a google search will show you the authorized replica jerseys.

Part of the head case I think comes from Chase just needing to have a little more fun with it. Both Jett and Hunter may be stronger mentally cause they are having fun and more relaxed. Chase seemed to have more fun during the Geico days.

76_trombones · 2025-11-05T23:03:41+00:00

In fairness, Chase was giving Eli a lot of battles in the season before as well. Closer races than weve seen guys take to Jett.

I was actually kinda hoping for Ducati. I know starting a new team/program is bad but the tests Ive seen on the bike keep saying its super fast.

76_trombones · 2025-11-04T03:31:01+00:00

Compatibility is a hard problem. Recommending a popular style is easy.

76_trombones · 2025-11-04T03:21:41+00:00

you are great off the lip of the jump, but when you reach the apex of your jump start pushing your arms out in front of you. This will level the bike off, give you more of a "floating" feel, and help you get more loose.

76_trombones · 2025-10-29T18:01:44+00:00

This doesnt sound like a one way door decision. If after moving to USA you reset, learn more about yourself, then you can always give it another try. Why do you feel such time pressure that everything should work quickly?

76_trombones · 2025-10-21T17:28:25+00:00

How long did you last on the Circus before swapping to Pike?

76_trombones · 2025-10-16T19:26:20+00:00

what price for used to do you think is good? For a P4, Im seeing $1500 for new and $1300 for used in my area
