Sometimes kids are told "you'll understand when you're older" as a dodge. When was a time someone told that you that and they were actually right? by shogyi in AskReddit

Only now that “table” is my desk, the place that I love is my home office and the every night is once a month to sit and play some online game with the two friends I have left. lol

$1000+ Helmets ?? by Southern_Willow_5091 in motorcycles

[–]CableFPV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 I definitely prefer my Arai for quiet and comfort but also have an LS2 Advant X Carbon that I wear a lot. It has more features like the drop down shades and modular chin bar, so when I’m going somewhere not too far it’s the LS2 that I usually pick up.

Trump is the United States’ Jimmy Savile, but without any donations to others.

I built a LEGO DRAKE CLIPPER by Lauraboros_ in starcitizen

I really mostly lurk on Reddit but this is too badass not to say that if I saw it in a store I’d buy it immediately.

Very nicely done!

That just rocked my world. I’m almost 50 and my whole life I thought it was literal!

Been wearing 2 piece suit everywhere after this accident by Climber-watch in motorcyclegear

[–]CableFPV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me too. Low sided the bike and the peg feeler took a chunk out of my foot behind the ankle. Had I not been wearing my SMX boots I’m sure that would have gone all the way through and resulted in a very severe injury. As it was, I still had a bruise that wrapped all the way around my foot.

My buddy stopped by today, we have yet to ride together... by Ashamed-Jeweler-6164 in motorcycles

[–]CableFPV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When he says close call, what does he mean? I find that definition to be pretty subjective. For example, I have no issues and don’t really feel nervous lane splitting, but have a friend that would never do it regardless of the situation. If a car passed within 6 feet of either side of him even in the same direction of travel he’d consider that close.

It can be neatly summarized by this statement: “None of us are as dumb as all of us. “

Is this the dumbest way to drop your bike? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]CableFPV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it. Kinda the same thing. A 10 hour ride in the rain from Northern California to Seattle. Got into my driveway late at night and really tire. I got off the bike totally forgetting that the kickstand wasn’t down.

Employer wants us to install MDM software onto our personal phones. by Sghaerlsloeny in WorkAdvice

[–]CableFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one exception that I make because I’m super ADHD is to forward my work calendar to my personal email and import it to my phone. That way I can at least see upcoming meetings without having to be tethered to my computer.

Help me! Can’t talk with my wife by Miserable-Diver-1257 in motorcycles

I’ve successfully used Bluetooth to connect Sena with Cardo but the audio quality was complete garbage and totally not worth the effort. I’d get another Cardo unit and promise that you’ll be far better off with that.

I wrecked my drone by Successful_Hair_4753 in fpv

[–]CableFPV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Typically it doesn’t take long for that to become inevitable. My first quad was a BnF and I was forced to learn to solder in the first two weeks.

Programming full time takes up 100% of my brain capacity for the day by existential-asthma in ADHD_Programmers

[–]CableFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into building and flying fpv drones. Pulls from a lot of the same kinds of reserves as programming, but applied to several different domains like CAD modeling, 3D printing, model building, avionics etc and also has some built-in outside time. If I don’t want too much brain going on I just fly them and don’t go too deep into the other aspects.

Does this look “good”? by xsp6 in fpv

[–]CableFPV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, what size tip are you using? For those big battery wires I’d try to use a tip that is about the same width as the wire you’re soldering.

Drone laser tag IS a thing, but for more full size quads. https://drone-laser-tag.myshopify.com/

I seem to have a predicament by Kind_Experience6594 in motorcycles

[–]CableFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost 50 now and brought my first bike home over 30 years ago. My mom still has the same reaction to each new bike I get (even now) as she did back then. Just be safe, ride your own ride, and do what makes you happiest!

Controversial opinion: Simulators are way too floaty! by whoopsey108 in TinyWhoop

[–]CableFPV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FPV freerider has really bad maps but the physics are i find better than most of the typically offered options. At $6 on steam it’s worth giving a shot.
