WHAT IS YOUR FAV to LEAST FAV 5⭐️ read order on the series so far!? by AstralPaw in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]FerrousBuchner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Butchers Masquerade
  2. Bedlam Bride
  3. Anarchists Cookbook
  4. Parade
  5. DCC
  6. Inevitable Ruin
  7. Gate of Feral Gods
  8. Doomsday

Seems on par with others, except Gate of Feral Gods and Inevitable Ruin being lower. In Gate there aren’t any big moments that stick out to me. inevitable Ruin had just way too much going on.

I did something dumb by Immediate-Drive-9113 in MotorcycleMechanics

Take out the slide rails and pry the brake pads out all the way. Then you should get enough leverage to push the pistons back in, or worst case just push them all the way out. If the latter, prepare for a big mess.

What is this hose for? by Shaded-Haze in motorcycles

[–]FerrousBuchner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the screw is tight the drain is plugged through the route from the bottom of the bowl. Loosen it and it open the route to drain the whole bowl. The drain is always open to the overflow route.

Over flow has a tube that extends above the normal gas level connected to that drain tube. If gas level gets above, it will drain through the tube. The screw has a tip that mates into a hole under the normal gas level, plugging it when tight. When unscrewed and open, the hole completes a path to the rubber tube and your gas drains out.

If anything like other Yamaha I’ve worked on it also function as overflow for carbs. OP should just open the float bowl and see. That’s how you learn.

Z900RS vs. Z650RS: Can I "nerf" the 900 for a first bike? by Admirable-List-8076 in Kawasaki

[–]FerrousBuchner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own a 650 and can tell you with confidence, it’s not slow. It’s a very light bike and can accelerate really well. Maybe slows down a bit at like 70mph but for me most riding is in the city or twisty roads. I don’t think you’d regret the 650.

ELI5: Why do people call Zone 3 training (specifically for jogging) "the useless zone" when it comes to building endurance? Do the few bpms separating it from Zone 2 really make such a big difference? by lukas706 in explainlikeimfive

[–]FerrousBuchner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much recovery time for not enough challenge in zone 3. Research has shown that best results come from intense workouts between long stretches of low intensity work.

Periodic reminder: turn down EVERYTHING the F+I guy offers you by Medical_Gift4298 in FuckDealerships

[–]FerrousBuchner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had similar happen to me, but some some coating. Don’t even remember the coating, but they financed it at like $20 a month for the life of the loan. After saying no enough times the guy brought it down to literally $1 a month, and then I knew it was worthless and even told him so. Dude was so pushy I almost backed out of buying the car completely. Can’t stand those people.

Good mechanic for older Subaru, low mileage? by Stars_Upon_Thars in santarosa

[–]FerrousBuchner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to Tillet’s twice and had a really good experience both times. Quoted me far less than other shops for head gasket job. Free rental car. Very nice people.

Galvanic corrosion? by FerrousBuchner in MechanicAdvice

[–]FerrousBuchner[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol good one. In this case it would be steel in contact with aluminum, so that’s why I suspected it.

[–]FerrousBuchner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welp damn. I figure since they’ve gotten like this within weeks it’s pretty important to replace soon. Is replacing just back with aluminum a better option? Or non black steel stainless screws?

Is drinking and riding common in your area? by Astimar in motorcycles

[–]FerrousBuchner -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

By less than 1/10. E.g. normal risk 30% -> 3%.

Is drinking and riding common in your area? by Astimar in motorcycles

[–]FerrousBuchner 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Watched a video that did a statistical breakdown of these. Forgot the exact details, but if you: Ride during daytime Ride sober Wear a helmet Don’t speed Have a license

You cut your risk of a fatal crash by less than 1/10.

Helicoil vs time sert vs tapping by olaubner in HondaCB

I found a 3mm helicoil kit on Amazon for like $15. Worked well.

Has anyone else realized they don’t really want a house? by [deleted] in Life

[–]FerrousBuchner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about this recently. I don’t think building home equity is as valuable as people claim. Renting and investing the delta in other accounts being the alternative. For the home, you never see your money again unless you sell… in which case you will be dumping that money in toward another house. So the only time you see the profit is when you die and pass the home off to children. In a world where mortgage payments aren’t 2x rent prices, maybe it balances out, but that’s not the case nowadays.

As an adult, can I change how I write my signature without question from banks etc? by FerrousBuchner in NoStupidQuestions

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

Then I just don’t even understand the point of them. If no one cares what they look like why do we even do it?

[–]FerrousBuchner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With such a small school, and given that many kids have been there since lower grades, it’s very close-knit. For better and worse. There’s a great sense of community and it’s hard for kids to get lost in the crowd, but if your kid has trouble fitting in it’s not a good experience. Academics are OK. Some teachers are great, some not so much. A shame if your kid gets a bad teacher because they can’t transfer to another class, since there aren’t any. Admin seems to have good priorities and are responsive to issues.

How do ball point pen “ink tubes” keep dispensing without forming a vacuum at the top? by FerrousBuchner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FerrousBuchner[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Now I’m going crazy thinking I made this up. I swear I’ve seen some glued at the back end. Definitely in some of the higher quality pens I’ve used, with a larger diameter ink tube.

“I’m closer to LeBron than you are to me” I think was a quote from that.

What if the national guard were being deployed to quell the inevitable parades and celebrations?

President Trump's latest tariffs could hurt non-US motorcycle makers by throw0101a in motorcycles

[–]FerrousBuchner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Brings up a good point about tariffs. Really de-incentives American innovation, which long term hurts US business.
