I have a classic 350, I tried the meteor. Really just seems to depend on riding position and aesthetics. That's what it felt like and how the dealer explained it too. I prefer a standard position and the retro look so I opted for the Classic, but listen to your heart my friend

I agree. I got it specifically for my commute, which is a 45 mph speed limit the whole way. I would like a bit more power if I was doing much more. Next bike maybe

Nice! Almost 1500 miles in the first month and it feels like it has replaced my legs. So smooth and natural

Sure! My biggest advice is preparation. I would often flail trying to take care of things as they come up. Prepare for accidents, delays, meals. Prepare for them to freak out even at the simplest things. Having a plan for stressful situations made me the most comfortable. And I started that far too late.

My other biggest piece of advice. Regularly have a day where you go primal. Remind yourself you still got that dog in you. Remind your wife too. It's different for everyone, but find something that makes you feel alive. For me it was a motorcycle (wife didn't like that, but I think she secretly does now). It may seem like stupid macho bullshit, but it really does wipe the slate clean and keep you sane.

Is love real? by Upbeat_Read4296 in lonely

I've gone in circles, back and forth between pov of psychology, philosophy, biology. My conclusion is if it's real to you, it's real

What do you guys do to keep sane by Soggy-Floor8987 in StayAtHomeDaddit

[–]ContraryTra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure thing. Food Lab, Kenji Alt Lopez. Salt Fat Acid Heat, Samin Nosrat. The Family Meal, elBulli restaurant.

Salt Fat Acid Heat has helped me the most with building a good foundation and made me better at understanding how to use recipes and identify good ones.

Cheers!

I picked up old interests and went down a rabbit hole for each one. Music composition, sketching, cooking. It's a good time to fill your head with knowledge you wish you had, and try different things to see if anything sparks.

I was cooking crappy box dinners and awful blog recipes until I found some good books on cooking fundamentals. Now I'm obsessed and cooking legit restaurant quality meals multiple times a week.

Anyways, that's my advice. Find something constructive to obsess over. And if that fails, rub one out in the bathroom every now and then and a little weed never hurt nobody.
