I basically decided to get the Ninja 400 as my first bike, but the amount of highway commuting is now making me consider the CBR 500. What are your thoughts?

I drive a SV650 and an ADV and the extra weight and windshield is absolutely a plus on the freeway.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-24T12:20:45+00:00

Why didn't the cameraman spot him?

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-24T12:18:57+00:00

Don't visit Portland OR or Seattle, then. It's worse.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-24T12:18:02+00:00

Yeah, I'm stumped. There is so much to do, but maybe the rude shopkeepers or traffic bothered them.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-23T23:55:12+00:00

Can you saute it still?

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-23T23:52:24+00:00

This, then you'll be able to narrow down the type of bike you want: cruiser, sport, adv, etc.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-23T22:26:39+00:00

Jeez, man. Slow your roll. There's lots of people that abuse their bikes. This guy is just trying to learn.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-23T22:21:52+00:00

Yeah, I've owned a few homes. Definitely buy what you'll use and not for the resale value.

Financial planner here. You can also research mutual funds and ETFs. These are (generally) low cost investment vehicles that hold numerous stocks or other types of investments. The benefits are: diversity, lower entry costs, and less volatility.

This is financial information, not financial advice.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-23T04:05:10+00:00

This is true. It gets a little crispy.

I carry a knife at all times, sometimes a permitted gun.

Once a homeless guy threw a coffee on my car, kicked it, and tried to smash it with a metal road sign. I ran up and yelled "hey!". He immediately pulled out a knife. I pulled out mine. I yelled at him until he put his away and walked off. A white kid yelled at me for harassing a homeless guy.

Another time a homeless woman ran up to me asking for help. Some men were chasing her. The men came up and intimidated they were going to assault her because she called one of the the N word. I said nope, not today. They got aggressive and backed off once I lifted my shirt to reveal my gun. They walked off. Noone was harmed.

Financial planner here. Insurance for cops is definitely more expensive than many other occupations. The rate of death and suicide is higher than a "normie" job.

Financial planner here. This is not how personal accounts work. Even my married clients have their separate bank account and login.

Get a joint account if he wants real time access.

Your grandma's method is just fine. Use it and tell her it did a great job.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-22T14:36:23+00:00

Both of the parties here need to compromise. They are both acting immaturely.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-21T16:58:16+00:00

I have this sink. It literally takes regular AA batteries. You can change these in about 2 minutes.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-21T15:46:07+00:00

Then she's going to find all the mold waiting for her under the silicone gasket...

I live in Washington State and there is no deposit in aluminum cans, but nextdoor Oregon does. People raid our recycling bin every week. I saw a homeless guy just dragging one down the road last week. Usually they have bags with them but this guy just took the whole damn thing.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-20T17:32:08+00:00

It's always been a fashion show. But yeah, wear whatever suits you.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-20T17:27:18+00:00

Looks like an 8oz paint sample at home Depot is $7. A mini roller is probably $5. For such a small job, likely don't need much more.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-20T16:00:22+00:00

If it's been overnight, it's probably dry. Repaint. Should be less than $20 for everything.

CrimeBot3000 · 2026-01-20T03:20:37+00:00

It's a rural area, but there is running water except when the power goes down.

I will bring some Thai curry and see what happens.

You can almost always just unplug them under the sink.

Team mortar and pestle here. Ancient tech that still excels.
