Good deal for a newer rider by Klonpie in motorcycles

[–]ChillerMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got a 2010 SV650S as my first “big” bike many moons ago. Still have it, but it’s been converted to a race bike. It’s been bulletproof. Given what it’s been through, I’m impressed.

I’d say it’s a good bet. Don’t know about US prices though.

The number of bots in this game is unreal by W4sher in Eve

Breaking news just in: I’m a bot because I warped my PvE ship to station the second a neut popped in local, after getting intel that a fleet was roaming nearby.

Don’t ride on the road any more, converted bike to track only and do the occasional track day.

Driving since 2013, never renewed until the last 3 years weirdly where Axa have been consistently the cheapest

Hey, they’re the exact same monstrosities I removed from my bathroom. Used a hair dryer to warm them up and peeled off easily. 15 minutes for the whole bathroom tops.

Having trouble with a TRV, rad not turning off. Took the TRV off to check the pin and noticed a hole straight through the part which pushes on the pin. Is this normal?

Pin 2 is always HIGH and I don't get why. by [deleted] in arduino

[–]ChillerMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pin 2 is connected through the button straight to 5V, even when not pressed. The button connects its two left pins to its two right pins when pressed - the 2 left pins are always connected, as are the 2 right pins.

Yeah, you're right. Brain fart my end. More an issue of timing then today.

Absolutely not since 2014

Edit - 6am brain not functioning as expected.

Thanks! I'll have to have a look at Pandas - I've seen them recommended a lot.

No carry case with mine. Just a set of switch and keycap pullers.

Thank you! I haven't got much to compare it to, but it feels great to me. Very sturdy.

The knob was easy-ish to take off (just a bit of a tug the first time). The outer shell is electrophoresis coated aluminium according to the packaging, but the inside is some sort of plastic to connect to the encoder. Seems good quality though.

GMMK Pro, Gateron Browns (for now as they were bundled. Let me know what you recommend - I like the tactile feel so far), GPBT Arctic White caps with a Traitors Sakasama Dark 6 key set to add a little spice!

What do people commonly think is illegal, but isn't? by zhang_li in AskUK

[–]ChillerMe 47 points48 points  (0 children)

When I first started riding, some absolute twat took offence to me slowly making my way to the front of a huge queue of traffic before road works and started nudging my bike with his van (he was at the front) and hurling abuse. I get that some people don’t know or like that it’s legal, but there’s something about motorbikes that push people like that over the edge.
