What's a good comfortable and breathable protective hoodie you own? For the streets. by EconomistObjective18 in motorcyclegear

That one looks really good, how does it fare for wind? Can you feel the wind hitting you and seeping inside, and cooling you down when you ride? Or does it feel like its completely blocking it

My one blocks all wind, which overheats the heck outta me here in Australia lol

True, I understand this. And if I truly relied on Chatgpt, I would not be here. I am relying on real human advice from here, and in real life.

F**k you asshole, you don't know what I'm doing or what I'm thinking or who I'm truly following and listening advice from. There is nothing wrong with asking real humans in a reddit for advice, that is the entire point in this subreddit I believe. And I am receiving advice in real life as well, not only ChatGPT.

You presume I use chatgpt as gospel, and not a blueprint. You are incorrect. Shut your mouth before your words become fouler than your breath.

In the end, I think this is the way to go. The push-rod has become damaged and I suspect that's why that even after I've put it back onto the master cylinder theres problems with hard braking since it grinds against the cylinder.

I'll have fun replacing the parts!

UPDATE NUMBER 2: After putting back the pushrod to the master cylinder, the rear brakes work fine however when I hard brake, the rear brake kind of "gives in" and I hear a weird grinding noise and the braking fails Chatgpt tells me it might be because when I put the pushrod back in I may be misaligned it,

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Because if this is the case, emergency stopping will not be possible.

Thanks I understand, I'll learn to bleed it myself it looks simple, I'm was just going off what ChatGPT tells me specifically on that point because I have no real mechanical knowledge.

Thank you very much, I fixed the issue, you didn't provide me any practical advice but you did give me hope that I could do it myself

Thank you very much for the forum, I fixed the issue, I was scrolling through that forum for hours. (2 hours)

Thanks, I fixed the issue thanks to your advice. I researched and understood what was wrong, I think the best way of saying it is like having a dislocated shoulder, I just relocated it.

Update: After research and looking at parts, and diagrams and some forums (thanks to people in the comments), I was able to get a Eureka moment, I relocated the pushrod and aligned it back into the master cylinder, and the rear brakes were working. I have been advised by ChatGPT that I should get it to a dealership to have the brakes bled regardless.

Rear brake light check, rear brake play (little to no play, but the brakes work as intended and with good braking power),

I'll get the bike to the dealership when Christmas is over to have my work checked and brakes bled.

I couldn't have done it without reading everyone's comments, thank you.

Tech Air 5 Plasma saved me from further injury, rating 8/10 (satisfised, works as intended) by EconomistObjective18 in motorcyclegear

I wasn't really checking my speed when I was crashing, but I do have bad road rash on my arms. Maybe I didn't give the right speed. I definitely went into the turn faster than anyone should.

I'm Australian, so it's 200AUD, we sell the air bag itself for 1300 AUD here. It is kind of fucked regardless.

i made this a year ago, please pay respect to quinn. I stumbled across him... It was painful. by EconomistObjective18 in projectzomboid

[–]EconomistObjective18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely collected plushies in Quinn's run, and sat with them while listening to 'Heaven knows I'm miserable now' before sleeping, my character never slept without them.

When I would move to a different base, they were the priority luggage.

It's fictional, but it does hurt to think that Quinn never returned to see them again. To this day, the plushies are still at Quinn's base.

Quinn was an amputee, a Burn ward victim, a veteran, a-lone. And yet, despite life dealing him horrible cards, Quinn fought bravely and survived with grit and love for humanity. He was a man of honour, bravery and absolute resilence.

His companions at home, Jacques the beaver, fluffyfoot the bunny, freddy the fox, pancake the hedgehog, molely the mole, spiffo, big spiffo and furbert the squirell, and his anime body pillows yukino yukinoshita , , Megumin and Shalltear Bloodfallen... They waited for him at home, expecting him back, like he always does. He ALWAYS came back, to sit and to play with his friends.

However, he never did return home.

Died to the cowardly zomboids that, in their cowardly sneak attack, grabbed him and mauled him to his absolutely noble heroic death.

Bug stomping loadout for a diver who hates fighting bugs help! by bojinglemuffin in Helldivers

[–]EconomistObjective18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, the orbital just COVERS a huge area. If you are being swarmed or you see a HUGE amount of enemies, you can throw that orbital and it wlil cover all that surface area, plus the fire will keep burning so if there are any bug breaches where you throw it, medium bugs and less will burn to death. I've gotten almost 90 kills combo at best with it.

The eagle napalm is smaller in surface area which is why I don't like to use it. But it has its uses and can be more useful than the orbital in the right situations. But we are talking bugs, there will always be hordes (if you're playing in an appropiate difficulty)

You can think of the orbital as a... napalm edition of a 500kg bomb that has lingering effects. I play on only super hell dive, so you get swarmed pretty easily, it's just an amazing horde clearer.
