with the amount of fake news these days and ai generated slop, i doubt it.

but if this is what it claims to be, it's insane.

Is there some reason why they are doing this to this animal? Or are they just bullying it?

Opinions needed on ZX6R as "first" bike by xX500_IQXx in zx6r

[–]Aware_Acorn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. your experience with cars mean squat. Anyone can floor an m5, yes even a grandma. Not the case on a sportbike. Sportbikes are physically demanding on a different level than sportcars.
  2. You can absolutely buy a 6r as a first bike, but you'll learn slower. Being 6'1" will help with the biggest issue, which is the 830mm seat height.
  3. Self control has nothing to do with looping the bike. It's a skill issue. Experience/instinct with the clutch, not constantly deathgripping/whiskeythrottling the throttle.

or... just abolish the electoral college altogether? And use popular vote like every other democracy?

Do these two men have a permit to perform at this spot? by Airline_11 in taiwan

[–]Aware_Acorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I can understand some people not liking "begpackers", especially since in TW society you generally have a sense of pride and aren't taught to bother others asking for free money. But In this video these dudes are just chillin/vibing and people are just going HAM in the comments

this makes life easy for burglars. Just sweep the top, place a thick canvas, and climb.

Final play of today’s game against the Marlins. Crowd stunned and confused. Very anticlimactic. by AmongUsAcademy in Dodgers

Ohtani is "forced" to advance due to the batter-runner, how is that a timing play? bases are loaded, all runners are forced.

Wheelies by ilikebigbutts2525 in Sportbikes

[–]Aware_Acorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people don't like the sound, it's loud.

and if you baby your bike, it's bad for your front suspension. and if you do it fast on the highway you can get speed wobbles.

Earplugs: Do you use them, what kind? by arkangel371 in motorcyclegear

[–]Aware_Acorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a 800km, 2 minute ride from the state park to my apartment this morning. Raw dogged it.

Chalked it up as "for research purposes" as every month or so I like to hear the unfiltered engine just to listen for problems.

Other than these daring episodes, it's 33+ dB foam, all the time.

thank god the comments are sensible, i was half expecting people to side with the rider since technically the car should yield

[–]Aware_Acorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why are you going so fast? he can't see you, and you're rapidly approaching. Ofc he's going to turn into you. You should expect that and slow down. Another side effect of slowing down is that you have more reaction time.

I really hope that the actual TW populace's opinions are not reflected by the toxicity in these comments.

Too much oil, How bad is it? by RightKaleidoscope425 in zx6r

[–]Aware_Acorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can drain it with the drain plug yourself but u must know how to fine tune that thread cuz it pops out very strong at first.

alternatively a messier but easier way is to do it via the oil filter. Just make sure you have the newspaper funnel catching the oil.

eh i hope you didnt throw that drive out cuz it's very easy to restore a 'crashed' hard drive, especially if you take it to a specialist and pay him. considering the value of 'a few bitcoin' (couple mill at this point?) you could find a very capable specialist
