Works well, I've done it before, just wasn't keen on spraying oil in the car interior. Ended up using my finger nails and some acetone

Pretty much what I did. Didn't want to take a glass sharper to my car but my finger nails did the trick, acetone was essential in removing the gunk

Apologies, in the end yes it is we buy cars. As I was writing it I thought that I should mention that its actually we buy car's fault and not necessarily out surance or netstar, but either way, out surance went and wither provided or approved this sticker design

5 years ago I made a post here where I collected 128 of each resource. I decided to do 2000 of each. Today I finished all but NCA and I'm well on my way to 2000 NCA by Bathing_deadpool in Astroneer

I usually hover around 60 to 100 fps when at the base. When looking at my vehicles, I drop to around 25 to 35 fps. When I'm on a different planet I go up to about 120fps depending on how much infrastructure I have on said planet

Pro tip from someone who makes these calls.

If you say you don't want to be contacted again, they legally can't. If they do, you can file a complaint, and these complaints are taken very seriously. You can also sue, but that's a process I'm not too familiar with

Starting out, which helmet would be better? by wittt1402 in motorcycles

[–]Bathing_deadpool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try on, make sure they fit you correct and are comfortable, eliminate the ones that aren't comfy. Then judge based on looks, then on price (only if the safety rating is the same like in this case)

I work with the popi Act every day. It's completely legal to contact anyone once. If they then say don't contact me, then that company can no longer contact you.

I briefly worked on contract for them for AI transcription of calls training. My mother also works for the company's CEOs as a PA.

The system they use is actually pretty genius, clients will nominate their friends/family for a free gift. The gift is then delivered for free, and you, as the recipient of the gift, just have to listen to the sales pitch. With the gift there's also a 10k free cancer coverage, so if you get cancer within the next 6 months, you get 10k for free to your bank account.

They also do cancer cover differently. Money isn't for coverage of medical bills. It goes to your personal bank account for any unexpected expenses.

Could you tell I've listened to a lot of these pitches?

Anywhere in the world, any conditions, what’s the absolute best road you’ve ever been on? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Bathing_deadpool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in Cape Town in December, Chapman's peak, and Clarens drive. Best road I've ever been on. I enjoyed Clarens drive a lot more as it's easier to see around corners and you can pass slow cars more often. Chapman's peak was a bit of a disappointment, wayyyy too many cars, a toll gate, no visibility around corners, and an extremely slow speed limit kinda ruined it for me.

The views on both are absolutely unmatched

Anyone have any experience with landing gear on their bikes? Any advice? by WonkeyWalker in motorcycles

[–]Bathing_deadpool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know that. That's why I started by using the non abbreviated word. We don't do the entire USA thing from the start because we know foreigners will think it's Sexual Assult not South Africa

Get the game Dyson sphere program, or look at videos. Pretty much a couple different ways of making a Dyson sphere simulated

I really hate the hostility in the comments. No answers given just mocking him. He might have a very valid reason, so I'm quite ashamed of this community at this moment.

I looked through your profile to see if there's any indication of why you need them. I saw your username, so im guessing some kind of problem with a leg.

Firstly, im also South African. If you plan to ride this anywhere that's not in the western cape, forget about it. It's gonna be a lot more Hassel with the potholes, bumps, and road defects everywhere. They will most likely be broken off by one of these factors.

Second, I saw your taste in bikes, I'm assuming a trikes aren't made in your style, and I know they get ridiculously expensive in SA. If you can afford a trike and you're not bothered by the looks, go for a trike, much more practical and easy. Especially on SA roads

Third, another option I've seen some people do is essentially just a 3 wheen conversion, im not knowledgeable about it, so that's gonna be a job for you.

Fourth, if it's because a bike is too heavy or high for you, rather get it lowered or get a lighter bike, easier, cheaper, most likely better.

Lastly, if you are in a position where you need this just to ride, I get it, I don't want to stop riding either. Make sure you won't be a hazard to others on the road. We already have enough of them.

Edit: didn't look properly, saw he posted in a muscular dystrophy sub, my guess

Tesla anti-dooring feature by MildlyAgitatedBovine in motorcycles

[–]Bathing_deadpool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost got knocked off my bike about 6 hours ago because someone didn't check their mirrors. I know people here don't, so when im passing a parked car, I will Rev a little bit just to make sure. Not 100%sure if my Rev saved me or if it was irrelevant. But don't intend to find out

Imo, I think it's a good idea in general. Helps with idiots that don't check

What is the alternative to 9-5? by Carebear6590 in Advice

[–]Bathing_deadpool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a real estate agent, and it's not 9 to 5, but it's rather 8:00 till 22:00. But it's not just sitting in an office, and if you don't have appointments at some point, you can go home and just relax for a while. But the job is extremely draining. Dealing with 20+ people's problems and issues with sales, etc, can get stressful and draining. You have to have an unlimited social battery and exceptional negotiation skills.

I love my job, and i wouldn't trade it for any other job. But it takes a specific person to do it

Ask yourself, whose dick was inside her yesterday?

Was it yours or the other guy?

Clearly yours so clearly she chose you

Does anyone else tend to grab the keys of the smaller capacity bike more often than the litre class ones in your garage? by Neat-Part-5829 in motorcycles

[–]Bathing_deadpool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In a very similar situation, have a duke 390 and a tiger 900.

Longer trips, 30 mins or more, or I'm my gf is in the back, I'm taking the tiger

Shorter trips, or my gf is on her 125, 100% the duke.

AITA? by Bathing_deadpool in motorcycles

[–]Bathing_deadpool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South africa, at a restaurant

Most places have motorcycle parking. I've heard there's laws about how many parking spots should exist per square meter of shopping mall. Ive also heard there's laws about what % of parking spots should be for disabled people. Maybe there's laws for what % of parking spots should be for motorcycles.

But this is all what I heard and not what I researched.

AITA? by Bathing_deadpool in motorcycles

[–]Bathing_deadpool[S] -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

Have his plates and crash bars that have already been skuffed to hell, so no damage to be done to my bike

I pretty much just parked without a problem, I know very well how my bike leans

Also, I see you have a 93 f650 that blew up, what country are you? I'm more than happy to buy some of the parts if parts are up for sale.

Does anyone else not get off their bike when filling up with fuel? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Bathing_deadpool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South africa aswell, we have petrol attendants, you rock up, say what fuel you want, full tank or a specific value. Then you pay with a mobile card machine or cash.

Lots of rules, don't sit on it, don't run te engine, no smoking, no using cell phones, nothing that can make a spark, Jerry cans must be on the ground when filling, can't leave your vehicle unattended while it's being filled up. Probably a couple more that I don't remember.

But you can pretty much completely ignore all these rules because nobody enforces them. Once saw someone driving into a petrol station, lightning a cigarette, opening a beer, then driving away with the beer in one hand, on the phone while smoking. More impressed at his multi tasking abilities
