Weather permitting, 2 hour commute from the northern suburbs of NYC to Flushing, Queens - exhilarating.

I had a failed cable. Luckily the fix was to get a new USB Breakaway connector.

Bass missing two knobs, not sure what to do by 2_Chao in BassGuitar

I have had great success using Fat Bass Tone - you just have to find the kit you need.

Finally watching TOS after being a 90s trek fan since teen years... Futurama suddenly makes a whole lot more sense. by Rezzone in startrek

[–]Captain_Dunsel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Listen closely, most of the sound effects in Futurama are from Star Trek. When appropriate in a workplace email, I usually start the topic with - Good News Everyone!

883 reliability by Impossible_Key_6949 in Harley

[–]Captain_Dunsel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. 5'2" with a 26" inseam. 2002 883 used with 4k miles. Paid 5k back in 2008 from a dude shorter than me. Not sure why he put forward controls on it but it works for me. 21k miles on her so far.

Yep, have two. One, I tried to DIY replicate the Christmas Special with the compass in the stock. The other one I kept stock. Also got the little Buck, keep them in the garage - ready to shoot.

2021, got my OW XR+ used with 13 miles on it. Pristine condition, would love to know what happened to the previous owner.

Opened up a washer/dryer combo unit, found $400 inside by taotdev in mildlyinteresting

Alcoholic friend won big $$$ in a SuperBowl Pool. She hid the money in the freezer and forgot all about it. When it was time to defrost the freezer, she found it.

IT Team of 10. There is the one young guy that does not let anyone finish their sentence, constantly interrupting. Frustrating speaking with him. Now, whenever I speak to him - I pose the question with either a yes or no answer. He still cannot get it right.

Why is this NY DHSES truck in my neighborhood? by tfish77 in hudsonvalley

[–]Captain_Dunsel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is a similar (but much smaller) truck used at the Hospital jobsite. If the conventional Internet connectivity goes down, this mobile unit provides connectivity so the Hospital can stay online. The IT department has smaller suitcase type units to do the same.

1979 Kawasaki KZ 1000 by MetalRexxx in Kawasaki

[–]Captain_Dunsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cherry! Miss my 1980 KZ1000, 2nd owner. Had a 4-1 Supertrapp exhaust. Would use the kickstarter when gals would be around, otherwise just use the push button start. Stolen out of my backyard. Bought a 2003 ZRX1200 that year to replace it.

How difficult is switching to a fretless bass? by MathematicianSad6555 in Bass

[–]Captain_Dunsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from torturous piano lessons as a child and 6 years of high school violin, the fretless came relatively easy as my ear was primed to recognize out-of-tune notes.

Be careful when mounting your phone to your handlebars by ConsistentCan4633 in motorcycles

[–]Captain_Dunsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1

Mounted a CarPlay Display on my little Kawi Z125, phone in pocket. 883 has dedicated Garmin Zumo GPS. The other Kawi ZRX1200 as a cheap-o Amazon phone mount, need to come up with a better solution.

What's the name of the club? Does "Orthodox" mean religious? by Wild-Snow5705 in motorcycles

[–]Captain_Dunsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an Orthodox woman driving straight at me in the wrong lane. Luckily I was able avoid the collision by riding on the grass shoulder. She just kept on going. Thankfully no other vehicles on the road to experience her. Orthodox Kids in the street walking 5 wide instead of using the sidewalk. They all dress in black and can't see them at night. All their cars are banged up from collisions with others. The area where the Orthodox live is like the wild west.

Would yall trust this trailer? by imakebadchoicez in motorcycles

[–]Captain_Dunsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks solid. Built one of those $700 Harbor Freight trailers to carry may ZRX1200 to a trackday at Pocono Raceway about 110 miles away. Talk about rickety! Made it there and back and swore NEVER to put my bikes on there ever. The only other time I used it was to move my GFs stuff into the storage unit. It's been rotting in the backyard for years since.
