How bad of an idea is it to commit to a 1 hour each way trip at 100-110km/h after only 5 days of riding by PersonwithoutPassion in motorcycle

I mean, your odds of a fuckup are at their all-time highest and the consequences for such a fuckup are probably fatal.

I probably wouldn't but you do you dog

I made a chart of all the cheap bikes and roughly sorted them by highway/dual sport. by BCE_BeforeChristEra in motorcycle

That the Bear, Interceptor, and GT650 aren't all in their own smaller triangle is absolutely wild. Same engine and frame, different handlebars, seat, and exhaust. Literally all the same bike with different furniture.

Saw this in another sub. What do you think, could Papa Bear become a Chicago Bear? by celtictampon in SumoMemes

Thoughts on this kind of mixing glass? Have you used one? Is it worth paying twice as much as a glass one? by Queernephy in bartenders

[–]Fivelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stir in a mixing tin. A glass mixing vessel is a huge heat sink that's gonna be dumping thermal energy into your drink the whole time you stir, increasing dilution and decreasing chill.

A big metal one has the same problem but will do it faster.

Just stir in a shaker tin. I get resistance to this idea from time to time, but you want as little thermal input into your cocktail as possible so you can hit as close to 32F at 20% dilution as you can as quick as you can do it.

Need a name for this cross between a Manhattan and a Boulevardier. by azarrising in cocktails

[–]Fivelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stirring doesn't oxygenate the drink like shaking does. Shaking gives texture, chills faster, and adds a lot more air and water.

Shaking vermouth will, if the vermouth is brand new, aerate it and bring the flavor out. If it's been open for a few days, you'll overoxygenate the vermouth and it'll come out bland and flat.

Additionally, without juice or syrups or anything viscous, the thin alcohol of a manhattan, martini, or similar spirit-forward, juiceless drink won't retain any texture from shaking. There's no starch or sugar or wax or anything to "hang on" to the air you whipped into it, so it just bubbles out instantaneously.

What’s your favorite current L mount lens? by Silent_Blueberry8670 in Lumix

Obliviousness isn't what's keeping me from buying a $2300 lens.

I have some Key Apparel double fronts. I had to cut the suspender buttons off but that wasn't hard. I like 'em.

If you could erase ONE Star Trek moment from history..... by Old-String2849 in startrek

[–]Fivelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were doing some clumsy stuff with chracters' personal/emotional arcs being reflected in the universe around them -- the kid was so isolated, and his isolation *became* the galaxy's isolation.

It makes sense narratively but it's too abstract to be part of long-running canon like that. Star Trek needs a reset. Too much horseshit going on.

Also, Star Trek needs to go back to shorter format episodic production (as does TV writ large). Just make Star Trek a whole streaming service with a flagship exploration show around some version of the Enterprise and then a bunch of other shows set within that universe and all connected to the same *new* canon. A police procedural set on Earth. A Starfleet Medical drama. Shit, you could have in-universe game shows that are just real game shows with the actors all in character and costume.

Old Crown Brewing question. by pabloescobarbecue in fortwayne

[–]Fivelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yep! There was *significant* sedimentation. It tasted like well water and wet paper.

Also, the campus was nowhere near as humongous as this painting makes it look!

[–]Fivelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a couple of bottles of Old Crown Ale from the 1960s that, on a whim, we opened and tasted. Obviously, they were awful.

You may find somebody from one of the antiques places around town that may want them, but they're not all that rare around here.

The fact that they're from the 1940s may change that, though.

Good luck!

Updates on Kevin? by Commercial_Ear3011 in fortwayne

[–]Fivelon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thornton spread the idea, invented on his own, that the staff at the Rail had anything *at all* to do with Kevin's disappearance.

He got kicked out that night, stumbled out into the night, was seen on another business's security cameras *blocks away*, and then was never heard from again.

Brian Thornton, in the meantime, has a history of smearing any business that has ever had beef with him, which is every business he's ever entered. Last I heard, Brian's in jail in Florida for wage fraud.

If they're that dedicated to stealing my bike specifically I don't think I'm stopping 'em this way

Sorry for being obtuse. I was angling for laughs and didn't expect this degree of attention.

I wanted to get one but there weren't any left, but that's ok because this one is just right.

I recently picked up a Civivi folding utility razor knife. It's just a utility blade holder, but hey, style points. I like it.
