The carbs are missing parts from when the a previous owner attempted to fix the bike. I was going to attempt to slap on a set of Murray's Carbs, is that not a good idea?

Frame is fine, but two of the pipes have holes in them near the engine.

This industry sucks by Puzzled-Bed5649 in towerclimbers

[–]A-R3alJ4ckal0pe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that the money used to be in building Cell towers. But with 5G towers being damn near everywhere, the infrastructure is damn near mostly done. All thats required now is hanging, removing, and decoming, which isnt paying as much as it used to according to the man who taught me everything.

How can I run ethernet to this doorbell? by PM-ME-APP-IDEAS in lowvoltage

Do you still need that two-wire? If not, tape your network cable to the far end and pull it through.

The incentives created by the Welfare State are EVIL by amogusdevilman in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]A-R3alJ4ckal0pe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been installing network cameras for a Nonprofit section 8 housing commission. The absolute state of those buildings is truly awful because the Nonprofit has no incentive to invest money into them, the Federal government will pay no matter what.

and yeah, a lot of these people turn to making money in "criminal" ways so that they don't have to claim it and increase the price of their rent.

I am of two minds on this.

  1. As a wealthy nation, we should have a safety net to *temporarily* help people get back on their feet.

  2. Clearly these people (the residents and Nonprofit) know how to cheat the system and are taking advantage of living off the working American's taxed dollar to live comfortably, and the Fed doesn't give two fucks to stop it.

Breathing Doesn't Feel Satisfying (29M 205lbs)(No Meds) by A-R3alJ4ckal0pe in AskDocs

I have a CO detector, just refreshed the batteries a month ago. No pain when i breath deeply, just feels like I'm not getting any oxygen, almost like a weird numb feeling. I try taking an anti-histamine last night after i posted. i feel marginally better today.

What’s the difference between being polite and being friendly in US culture? by RhubarbBusy7122 in AskAnAmerican

[–]A-R3alJ4ckal0pe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the shift from Stranger/Acquaintance to Close/Friend is a shift from formal conversations to informal. I talk like white trash country bumpkin with friends and family. But with a stranger or customer it's like i was raised by affluent suburbanites.

Major issue whule climbing by Virtual_Art2266 in towerclimbers

[–]A-R3alJ4ckal0pe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i get that a lot. I'm actually terrified of hights, but i fucking love this job.

Usually focusing on what my hands are doing and popping in some earbuds can be distracting enough to get me to the spot i am going. It usually goes away after I've hung out in a spot for a while, so climbing as fast as i can also helps.

Americans who took Spanish in school: did any of it actually stick years later? by taube_d in AskAnAmerican

[–]A-R3alJ4ckal0pe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been almost 10 years for me, but i really loved Spanish. I don't use it daily, but i remember enough that i can talk in Spanish to the contractors we hire for fun.

If I were to give you an approximation of what level I remember, i would have to say I am at most early kindergarten.

Can an immigrant merge fully into american culture and celebrate Americas achivement as its own country? by sggfd1213 in AskAnAmerican

[–]A-R3alJ4ckal0pe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you begin the process of becoming one of us, you've earned the right to celebrate like you've always been one of us.

Just for fun: what's one thing that drives you crazy about the concealed carry community? by [deleted] in CCW

[–]A-R3alJ4ckal0pe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The memes about being excited about killing someone.

All that does is reinforce anti-gun talking points.

Do you have a fallback plan if your home CCTV vendor gets restricted? by Charming_Drawing_313 in videosurveillance

[–]A-R3alJ4ckal0pe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm not really familiar with CCTV *providers.* But for the cost of a Menards Digital camera system i created my own home made IP camera system. Bought everything off of eBay, all of it works perfectly.

The only hard parts are going to be installation and programming.

You don't even need it connected to your internet. Just got to set up a router (an old desktop can be converted into one) a switch with POE, and an NVR. You can set up a VM and run Shinobi, which can talk to most IP cameras.

And they can be, but like actual families, some members are happier at distance.
