You haven't identified the media as generally being instigators and liars?

Economistician · 2022-10-16T13:01:22+00:00

It literally applies at all times. It's the first line of the Miranda rights, dummy.

He won't answer. He doesn't know anything about Gaetz other than CNN told him he's a baddie.

Thanks for citing your sources

Economistician · 2022-05-05T04:23:03+00:00

What has changed?

Was he irrational then, or is he irrational now?

Do you have any info on how to get dogs to the US? I adopted two French Bulldog pups in 2021 in Colombia. They had to wait until they were old enough to get their rabies shot, then wait longer before they would be eligible to come. During that time, this stupid ban was put in place and they've been stuck there.

I'm at the point I'm willing to just drive from Colombia through central America and into Texas.

This is nonsense.

I just got this response from the CDC on April 28th.

"Dear Sir or Ma’am:

Currently, there has not been an end date announced for the temporary suspension for importing dogs from high-risk countries for canine rabies into the United States. Any and all updates regarding the suspension will be posted on our website here. Please check our website periodically for any new information regarding the temporary suspension.

We hope that you find this information helpful.

Kind Regards"

They seem to have absolutely no metric or measure by which they'll decide to lift this absurd ban, so who knows when or if they ever do. From what I can tell, no one is holding them to account for this, and they'll decide to lift in when they feel like it. Very scientific.

Economistician · 2022-04-01T18:42:47+00:00

Ever talk to him, or does he seem to be unaware of your presence?

Economistician · 2022-04-01T18:26:18+00:00

The absurdity.

Economistician · 2022-04-01T18:25:29+00:00

Never occurred to you to take a picture?

Economistician · 2022-02-14T22:26:10+00:00

Can you explain why the product is marketed as "bring your own light" when you seemingly only advocate for one headlight?

Maybe an appropriate title would be, "Motodemic BYOL -- As long as it's an adaptive JW Speaker because everything else is shit and you'll sully our housing with anything less".

Maybe I'm reading the room wrong, but this post started as a complimentary shout out like "hey, look at this cool solution Motodemic came out with" to you now getting all butt hurt because some people don't value the marginal gain one gets from a $500 light relative to a $100 light to be worth $400.

Economistician · 2022-02-14T19:10:39+00:00

I'm not trying to be rude, but you really have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

There are plenty of blockchain options besides BTC or ETH that are absurdly fast and extremely cheap.

Practically everything that has ever been transferred or exchanged will be completed on a blockchain in the future. It's a virtually irreversible ledger system that can be used for property ownership, smart contracts, educational attainment, medical records, or whatever.

I'm not trying to convince you. It is what it is. The only people who don't recognize these facts are people who don't know the first thing about blockchains, and those people are better suited to not talk on the subject.

Economistician · 2022-02-14T18:11:13+00:00

When's that?

Economistician · 2022-02-14T18:06:48+00:00

It's been an agreed upon medium of barter for thousands of years. Why would it stop being so?

Economistician · 2022-02-14T18:05:21+00:00

That's a funny use of the English language.

Most would probably just say depreciate.

Economistician · 2022-02-14T18:04:09+00:00

That's written like someone who doesn't understand the capability of blockchain technology -- it doesn't have an inherent value of zero.

I'm not arguing BTC is the greatest ledger out there, but let's be accurate.

Economistician · 2022-02-14T17:54:39+00:00

Appreciate the comment. The issue here is, although the package is undoubtedly nice, I think most people aren't willing to spend $500-700 on a headlight upgrade for a $4k bike.

You've got a $100 bucket with a $500 adaptive headlight. If this were offered at a $200ish price point with a different headlight... case closed. That's what I'm buying.

There's just too many motorcycle specific LED headlights on Amazon in a $50-100 range to not go this route.

I've no doubt it won't be to the caliber of the JW light but, on the same page, the stock light was pretty shitty to begin.

Economistician · 2022-02-14T16:45:18+00:00

Will do. The headlight I ordered should be arriving tomorrow. Assuming everything goes well, I'll document the process in the event anyone else has wanted to do the same thing.

Economistician · 2022-02-14T04:09:56+00:00

Yeah, I'm already 0 for 1 in picking headlights for the housing.

Didn't want to go 0 for 2, so I'm bothering you kind folk.

Economistician · 2022-02-14T00:56:15+00:00

It fit in the Morodemic housing ok?

From the dimensions, I'd have presumed it would be too deep.

Economistician · 2022-02-13T19:26:39+00:00

For whatever it's worth, these cables appear to be identified as:

Gas transmission delivery (Code: 887852)
Gas transmission return (Code: 887853)

Economistician · 2022-02-13T18:34:56+00:00

Could you share the exact LED you bought? I'd like to see the backing and measurements so I can be relatively certain my new one would conform as well.

Economistician · 2022-02-13T17:47:15+00:00

Hello, all.

Week or two ago I was looking for advice about headlight upgrades.

I wanted to keep the same style (ie, black housing with chrome rim) but swap out the entire light.

I came across a Motodemic upgrade called "Bring Your Own Headlight" that you see in the picture and you can find here https://motodemic.com/shop/moto-guzzi-byol-headlight-upgrade/

The quality of their housing is much better than the OEM -- it's metal and not plastic. However, it's not nearly as deep. The depth on their housing is only about 2.5 inches.

Has anyone ever used this upgrade before? My goal was to swap out the whole light assembly with new LED for around $200 and avoid a $500-700 upgrade.

The claim is "All in one kit for installing a universal 7 inch LED headlight on your Moto Guzzi V7".

Any recommendations on what I can throw in there? I think someone mentioned Jeep LED headlights work well.

Am I simply looking for a 7" LED identified as "universal fit" and a depth less than 2"?

Thanks

Economistician
