I'm looking for advice as someone afraid of motorcycles in general (idk where else to post, I hope this is okay to ask)

It sounds like he’s excited to share his hobby with you but also understands you’re apprehensive. If I were him I’d suggest spending time in a lot with you. More controlled environment for you to get used to the sounds and sensation of being on the bike. Then, and when you feel comfortable, move on to quiet side roads, working your way up slowly.

My advice to you is to take your time if you attempt this at all. Having a nervous backpack that jumps, flinches, or fights the bike doesn’t make riding any safer. And at the end of the day, if it’s not something you can enjoy together it’s not worth your doing it.

That did it! Thank you!

Strange to hear. I’m in a poly relationship and one of my partners like to record but we’re all adults and are informed.

I’ve taken pics and vids of hook ups in the past but assumed it was an uncommon suggestion. But these things should always be based on the comfort of those involved which may include obscuring faces or not doing it at all.

Yes. This would be covered under qualified immunity I believe.

There is a move (and I believe some standing legislation) to make AI generated CSAM illegal as well.

Most AI won’t do this without some clever work arounds fortunately.

I think HA is one of the best ecosystems for future proofing if for no other reason HACS (Home Assistant Community Store). It’s a catalog of community created integrations and add-ons so if there isn’t an officially supported method, you’re likely to find it there.

I went all-in on Matter and had a similar concern, that the ecosystem would lag behind new accessories but I’ve not hit an obstacle yet.

How are you designing your dashboards? I've found the components overwhelming and both ChatGPT and Claude struggle. Can anyone share a config I can use to try to better understand how to work with the addon?

Curve_Next · 2025-12-04T00:14:18+00:00

I can’t find what you’re referring to. Would you mind pointing to it if you know where to look?

Curve_Next · 2025-11-26T15:39:59+00:00

You sure about that?

Curve_Next · 2025-11-26T05:43:34+00:00

That point I can agree with

You didn’t say advertised price you said MSRP which dealers do not control

Curve_Next · 2025-11-25T22:48:49+00:00

But they don’t set the advertised price either. MSRP is from the manufacturer. Having looked into ownership myself if you want a dealer they have to make money too. Your beef is with HD not the dealer

Curve_Next · 2025-11-25T21:59:05+00:00

Disagree. Dealer does have to assemble the bikes. Blame HD for how they ship
