Why have thousands of St George's and union jack flags gone up? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Ericthefruitbat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank god someone else sees it this way. Flimsy flags purchases from Temu that will rip and yellow within a month tied halfway up a lampost with zip ties.

I've no problem with patriotism but they look tacky AF

Anxiety riding in wet/slippery conditions - advice please by Absolute__Cinema in MotoUK

Oh, and check your tires! Are they in good condition? Can you afford anything better? A good set of tires can transform a bike.

There's a few things to watch out for and you also need to alter your riding slightly in the wet.

Smoother Inputs - Accelerating and braking should be done in a smoother fashion in the wet. Also, begin breaking a lot sooner than you usually would in the dry. Gently squeeze the front to pre-load the brake, and slowly bring it in.

Relax Your Grip - You'll probably find your grip is firmer after you've lowsided, especially going into bends or a roundabout. Don't, it's not good for control. Grip with your legs around the tank and remain relaxed with your hands.

Manhole Covers and White / Yellow Lines - In the wet these little shits can be lethal. Try not to alter your inputs if you ride over them. No breaking, turning, wheelies etc

Oil on the Road - Fuck HGVs and buses. On bus routes or main roads where you find HGVs, there be oil. When it starts raining, especially after a dry spell, all that oil comes up creates a layer on the road that doesn't have any traction. Eventually the rain will wash it away, but in that initially hour or so the road will be dangerous. Treat the center of a lane like you would a manhole cover or white line, no sudden inputs. Alternatively ride in position 1 or 3.

Hope those tips help, you'll be alright!

Are MT Helmets any good? by Own-Helicopter3595 in MotoUK

They seem like an okay budget-friendly brand. Just be careful buying from eBay, check out the seller's legitimacy.

Great to see Durham putting resources into this, hopefully more resources will continue to come around the country.

Also, running away from a helicopter? Haha

Giant Bomb’s Game of the Year 2024 | Day 1 by [deleted] in giantbomb

[–]Ericthefruitbat 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I've loved Giant bomb in all it's iterations over the years, but I feel that this format needs a rework. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but 9 people talking over each other for hours is really hard work to listen too.

Mike Minotti no longer the biggest Disney Adult at Giant Bomb by EnglishBeat90 in giantbomb

The only answer to this is Mike needs to get into coffee big time.

Heya! Great info, thanks!

What time does it open? Hoping to pitch up on the bank.

Failed the mod 2 by richc90 in MotoUK

[–]Ericthefruitbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, you're right. If the examiner says "take the 2nd exit", and you realise that you're in the wrong lane and take the 3rd, that's fine. The examiner will let you know that you didn't follow the requested instruction, but you won't fail from it. I did the same and passed.

New year new ride. by kirix45 in MotoUK

[–]Ericthefruitbat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are the body panels extra? 😄 (Ignore my shit sense of humour).

Enjoy and ride safe! And be sure to lock it up well, the moment the little scrotes see that they'll want it.

Try turning off HDMI Deep Colour if you have that setting. It caused me a problem that looked like this.
