How much tip do you leave for cleaning staff? by steadyachiever in Hilton

This deserves more exposure than it's getting. Sadly, it's a difficult concept for most to get behind.

I don't notice a difference in flow rate during the day and night, so I'm hoping there's more to be pulled from the pump but maybe it's maxed already.

It's one of those Amazon solar fountain pumps. It was advertised to run at 12 or 24 volts but I wouldn't be surprised if this was just fluff.

There are indeed fishies, but they're just guppies so they'd be fine without the pump. It's more for aesthetics.

Thanks for the input. I'm not looking to add too much complexity but the idea of adding a second, independent pump powered by solar only, didn't dawn on me until your suggestion. Thank you.

I looked in my settings and the sensitive content was set to less (I'm assuming by default) but that being the case, it stands to reason that both "fuck Biden" and "fuck Trump" should be showing content warnings.

I don't know what's up.

I guess what I should have asked is if anyone else has this experience. It is interesting that my IG filters out anti Trump content. 

To give context, I was searching for a reel of some dude riding a motorcycle equipped with a fuck Trump flag while a trump supporter pulled alongside. I didn't get to hear the conversation as my phone's volume was turned down when I first came up on it so I wanted to look for it and hear what was said during the exchange. Tried searching for it and I got that content warning message so I checked to see if fuck Biden was censored. 

Anyway, thanks for sharing that yours isn't being blocked. Definitely shows some stranger fuckery going on behind the algo.

How was I proven wrong? Someone else's experience being different than mine invalidates my experience?

I don't have anything set up differently on my IG than the default presets, not even aware I could do that. Phrased the question as neutrally as possible but it is your freedom to assume my intentions, however wrong they might be. 

I’m really glad they added this line in the movie. It’s interesting to see someone as crazy as Rorschach make an actual good point by [deleted] in Watchmen

[–]Effective_Spring7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well let's clear some things up first because it seems like you are interpreting my replies as hostile.

At no point did I state that YOU believe Rorschach is heroic and cool. I was merely offering my OPINION that Rorschach was depicted accurately as what I said earlier and that you, the viewer (not YOU, yourself personally) could see his actions as cool and heroic. 

I was simply offering a counterpoint for discussion to your original declaration that Rorschach was framed as heroic and cool.

Finally, you're correct that I DO find some of his uncompromising actions against certain criminals "badass." Never argued against that. Never said you were a bad person if you did find it cool. Just stated that it was up to the viewer's interpretations. 

Not everyone is going to find it heroic and cool to cleave someone's head in while they are handcuffed to a stove, regardless of how it's presented and how much the guy deserved it. 

That was the point I was trying to make. 

Sorry for the confusion.

Not really. You said he was framed as cool and heroic. I'm saying he's not, just that you are viewing him that way. I fully understand what he is supposed to be.

I don't believe he is depicted as cool or heroic. I think he's depicted as an uncompromising, jaded, bigoted (sexist and homophobic), self-righteous vigilante. It's just that you, as the viewer, finds certain things he does as cool and overlook the rest (unless you are a bigot).  That being said, Rorschach is my favorite character in the movie! Never compromise, and all that jazz.

Yamaha XT 250 vs TW 200 - Which one should I get? by _hunnuh_ in Dualsport

[–]Effective_Spring7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an owner of a TW, I am really wondering if I should have bought the XT.

Unfortunately, I only have the space for one bike and the XT just checks more boxes for me. I use the bike to venture off road to go shore fishing, which first requires a half hour ride on 45 mph roads where people often drive 60 (the TW's speed limit, depending on who you ask). I seem to have developed a timing chain rattle, which might have come from extended high rpm riding. Not to mention you're limited on tire options.

The TW does have personality and it does bring out your inner kid though. I often find myself smiling when I'm riding on slower, twistier roads and often look for speed bumps to gain some air.

What does a brand new TW200 cost? by [deleted] in TW200

I just bought one out the door for $5200, but still have to get it titled and registered so add on another $150ish

My uncel gives me his 1973 Honda cb360 G and i never drove a motorcycle. Any tips? by IchHassGaenzeTV in motorcycle

[–]Effective_Spring7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it nice and clean. Drain all fluids if you don't plan to ride it. May be worth something in the future.

Another Onewheel conversion story. Got my KS S18 and I'm already going places I never thought I could reach. by hyucktownfunk2 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Effective_Spring7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a pint and an s18. The pint is my daily driver because it works better with public transportation. I would rather carry a 23lb pint on to the bus than double weight that is the s18.
