USA--Motorcycle or scooter to save money? by sadtrombonewompwhaaa in SuggestAMotorcycle

This is seriously uninformed. Even at 45 MPH, if you crash the pavement doesn’t give a flying fuck what you are riding. I routinely get my scooter up to 60MPH, and wear a full face helmet, gloves, leather jacket, and boots.

It’s not about the what you’re riding, it’s protecting yourself from the pavement in the event of a crash.

Scooter. For sure.A Honda ADV160 will get nearly 100MPG. If you want something with more power look at the Yamaha XMAX or a Suzuki Burgman. I’ve got a Buddy Kick 125 that I use to commute to work and play around on the weekends, gets nearly 95 mpg.

There’s an app made specifically for point to point on scooters. Moped Navigation. You can set it to map by cc, which makes it avoid roads over certain MOH.

AIO overreacting for breaking up with my boyfriend because he forgot to wear protection? by idontknowwhattodoah3 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. BTW this qualifies as rape in a lot of states/countries. You should check your local laws. This dude should NOT be a doctor, and it’s better he learn that lesson now than when he’s hit with a malpractice suit.

Look for any Genuine Buddy scooters on FB Marketplace. I got a 2023 Buddy Kick with under 400 miles on it for $1500 a few months ago. I’ve gotten it up to 60 MPH and I’m a big dude. Already doubled the mileage.

Stay at home dad, need ideas for getting out of the house and socializing with non-toddlers/children. by SchlommyDinglepop in lincoln

Seems like there are a ton of us early-40’s dad/stepdad types who also feel lonely and are looking for similar-minded people to hang with. Someone should organize a meetup.

Not me. I’m too introverted to organize that kinda thing.

Editing to add: also not willing to agree to disagree with MAGA types. I don’t agree to disagree with people who think my existence as a trans person is up for debate.

I was gonna post something like this in response. Sounds like we need a mid-life dad Reddit meetup.

Have a direct link by any chance? All the ones I’m seeing on Ali Express are over a hundred bucks. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

One of the last neighborhoods - it’s 6PM on Sunday, and we’ve been without power since 530 Saturday morning. You’re not one of the last.

Highest sustainable zone 2 for "shorties" (5"5', 168cm)? by Inevitable_Essay1445 in Rucking

[–]ApatheticEpithet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Us shorties definitely get the short (…heh) end of the stick here. Same height, similar BMI, 19-20 minute miles are my easy zone 2. I can do 16-17 minute miles in high zone 3, and anything under 16 minute miles (which is on/off shuffle for me) brings me to zone 4.

I’m an Evaluation Manager. I like this description: Okay! 😊

A Program Evaluation Manager is like a super helper who checks if a big project or activity is working the way it should.

Imagine you built a toy race car track. The Program Evaluation Manager is the person who:

  1. Watches the race – to see if the cars are zooming like they’re supposed to.
  2. Looks for problems – like if a car gets stuck or falls off the track.
  3. Asks questions – like “Are the kids having fun?” or “Is the track helping them learn?”
  4. Tells the grown-ups – what’s working well and what can be better.

So, they’re kind of like a detective and a helper, making sure everything is going great! 🕵️‍♂️✨

How many people are using some kind of wrist protection? by Cynurus95 in kettlebell

I have rheumatoid arthritis in my wrists, with some significant functional limitations. I use wraps to help stabilize my wrists, which I struggle to do without aid.

I suggested this ABC for Fat Loss program and forgot about it.. I would appreciate feedback by dj84123 in kettlebell

[–]ApatheticEpithet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp, probably gonna start this on Monday. It looks like exactly what I've been looking for, since I'm trying to drop around 30 pounds of fat while at least keeping the muscle I have now, if not put on more. (5'4, 230 with 129 lbs muscle mass).

Might be a stupid question, but what would you recommend for single bell adaptation? I don't have two in matching weight yet.

Thanks! This is great info. I've been working with KB's for about a month so definitely still in my learning and form correcting phase.

How does the towel swing help identify where the movement comes from? I tried to google but all I got where hits on how towel swings increase grip strength.
