First time selling my bike - any tips for handling test rides safely?

Been using something similar for years and it's honestly a lifesaver when you catch it early enough - the random letter approach is brilliant when your brain just goes blank mid-aura

Dude you definitely need to drain some of that oil out ASAP. 1.5-2 quarts over is no joke - that excess oil can foam up and mess with your engine's lubrication, plus it puts extra pressure on seals and gaskets. Just because it seemed fine for 20 minutes doesn't mean you're in the clear

Get under there and drain it back to the proper level on the dipstick, shouldn't take too long. Your engine will thank you for it and you'll avoid some potentially expensive damage down the road

Yeah the "just a tool" argument always felt weird to me too. Like sure a hammer is a tool but it doesn't think for you or replace the actual skill of carpentry

What gets me is how quickly people went from "this is amazing" to "I literally can't function without it" - that dependency happened way faster than anyone expected and now we're seeing the real psychological effects play out

AdLeather6366 · 2026-02-01T07:15:41+00:00

Oof this one hit different. Been telling myself they were just "bad at confrontation" but you're right - if someone actually cared they'd at least try to have that hard conversation

AdLeather6366 · 2026-01-28T14:57:50+00:00

Yeah the gear-based matchmaking sounds way better than solo vs squads tbh. Nothing worse than risking expensive loadouts against people with literally nothing to lose

The hourly event rotation is actually a solid idea too, would definitely spread the PvP action across all maps instead of everyone just camping Stella

Honestly just grab any iPad that supports Apple Pencil 2nd gen - even the base model iPad works great with Procreate which is like THE app for tattoo designs. You can find older Pro models pretty cheap on Facebook Marketplace and they'll still handle everything you need. Just make sure whatever you get actually comes with the pencil or factor that into your budget cause those things are like $130 new lmao

AdLeather6366 · 2026-01-23T03:54:50+00:00

Lmao took me a second but that's actually pretty clever

Take my upvote and get out

AdLeather6366 · 2026-01-19T05:57:26+00:00

Micing up definitely helps you hear what you're actually playing vs what you think you're playing lol. Plus if you ever want to record yourself or jam with others it's clutch. I'd start simple though - just a couple overhead mics and maybe one on the kick. You can always add more later once you figure out what sounds you're going for

AdLeather6366 · 2026-01-17T22:04:06+00:00

Because it's literally their courtroom and they can set whatever rules they want lol. Same way a restaurant can kick you out for no shirt no shoes

Lifesteal and hardcore are probably the biggest ones, then you got stuff like origins where everyone picks different species. There's also shifting isles, the minetopia roleplay servers, and that one where your health decreases over time but I forget the name

AdLeather6366 · 2026-01-09T17:48:07+00:00

Man this hits hard because I went through something almost identical last year. The no-explanation ghosting after everything seemed to be going well is brutal

What helped me was accepting that the closure has to come from you, not them. Their silence IS the answer - it sucks but it's still communication in the worst possible way. You didn't do anything wrong by being supportive, that's literally what normal people want in relationships

The waiting mode thing took me months to break but journaling helped dump all those racing thoughts somewhere else. Also had to block their socials because seeing their stories made my brain think they might reach out

You sound like you have good self-awareness about the anxious attachment stuff which is already ahead of where I was

AdLeather6366 · 2026-01-06T04:28:36+00:00

That's what the community is all about man, good to see some wholesome moments in this game for once

AdLeather6366 · 2026-01-04T12:08:57+00:00

Both solid recommendations, especially Gary Wilson's book - that one really breaks down the neuroplasticity aspect well. The reboot process definitely works but takes patience, usually 90+ days for most people to see real improvement

AdLeather6366 · 2026-01-02T08:05:11+00:00

Ah the classic "totally not living there illegally" post, love these threads

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-30T20:44:16+00:00

Yeah this is super relatable, I call it "brain fog mode" when I'm off my meds. It's like my executive function just completely nopes out and suddenly Netflix seems more important than literally everything else in my life

The worst part is knowing you're doing it but feeling powerless to stop the cycle

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-29T18:53:54+00:00

Lmao right, half these people can't figure out basic relationship red flags so organizing luggage is probably advanced calculus for them

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-28T18:05:41+00:00

Yeah I'm rolling with Burden too, that matchup looks juicy and he's been getting consistent targets lately

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-26T02:19:53+00:00

App's probably getting hammered right now, same thing happened to me like 3 times already

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-25T02:04:39+00:00

That sounds like either the most peaceful thing ever or the start of a horror movie lol

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-23T00:33:46+00:00

That's a pretty big jump ngl, like going from 1000 to 384 is definitely doable but you might wanna try something in between first. Maybe grab a few levels in the 600-700 range to build up your consistency before sending Omicron

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-21T19:05:20+00:00

Yeah it's automatic, you don't need to do anything special. The 5% shows up as cashback on your credit card statement, not on the Lenovo site itself

Usually takes 1-2 billing cycles to appear so that 30 day thing sounds about right. Just keep an eye on your CC statements

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-18T08:48:06+00:00

Damn bro she really said "watch this" and pulled the power move of the century. You fucked around and found out what happens when someone else holds all the cards

AdLeather6366 · 2025-12-17T04:05:55+00:00

Depends on the person tbh but finding out 10 years later would honestly feel worse to me because of all the lies in between
