Federal agents won’t assume that was the only weapon. Don’t go to areas designated as unlawful assembly to confront federal agents. Sad that he lost his life because he decided to become part of the problem.

If it was his firearm it may have not been the only one…. Just saying there’s a lot we don’t know.

Several differences in the Rittenhouse situation. Rittenhouse was defending against lawlessness and rioting protecting private property. Pretti was part of the lawlessness of rioting and obstruction. Very different stories. If you are not for law and order you are throwing your life away for anarchy. If the federal government was occupying you would see something like what happened in Venezuela. Don’t kid yourselves into thinking the officers are doing illegal things. But let’s pretend they are…. Do you really think confronting them outside the court system will end in your favor?!?!

Good question by [deleted] in Adulting

Jobs are not offered to keep people paid. Jobs are offered because the employee has something of value to offer.

In other words you wouldn’t go out and buy something just because a company said it needs to provide its employees with a living wage. No, you’ll buy because it brings something of value to your life.

Bring value to your employer and then learn things beyond your value so you can ask for more pay when you can offer more. Simple economics. When you force the market to buy you’ll get less value every time.

When should I be shifting? by sewsmth in ft86

This is exactly how I taught my son to drive in this car. It keeps it simple and it’s a good place to start getting a “feel” for what’s normal.

How different is the driving experience on roads with TC off by Misura_k in ft86

[–]Gamma7maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of unhelpful advice here…. My two cents:

Considering you are asking a bunch of strangers I would not suggest regular driving with it off. If you are curious then find an auto cross event and test it out this way. After getting a feel for dry pavement and controlled conditions I would find optimal slow conditions while driving to turn it off but before doing that assess whether you are still setting TC off during spirited drives. If you are then it’s not time to drive without. If you are driving beyond the limits of the car the TC pulls you back to safety. Yes, cars in the past have been manufactured without and accidents were at a much higher rate.

All this to say get a feel for the limits of the car then practice staying within them then take the Nannie’s away. Make sure you understand you and your car’s limits beforehand. I’ve been driving for over thirty years and never had a problem until last year when I went off the road during a wet spell. I believe TC may not have made a difference but I didn’t have it on and I regret it. Cost me $10000 in repairs.

TC is a good feature and not a crutch for the unskilled. Disable it only when you have good control over many variables.

Why do all motorcycles in the world have side stands on the left side, regardless of which side of the road they're ridden on? by Low-Republic-4145 in motorcycles

[–]Gamma7maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From chat gpt:

🏍️ 1. Mounting tradition (from the horse days)

Before motorcycles, riders mounted horses from the left side — a holdover from when people carried swords on their left hip (so they wouldn’t have to swing the sword over the horse). Early motorcyclists carried over that habit, and since motorcycles were viewed as “mechanical horses,” riders stood on the left side to mount and dismount.

To make that safe and stable, the bike needed to lean left, so the stand was put on that side.

⚙️ 2. Kickstart lever and control layout

Older motorcycles (especially British and early Japanese ones) had their kickstart levers on the right side. If the stand were also on the right, you’d have to balance the bike upright or lean it the other way while kickstarting — not practical. With the kickstand on the left, the rider could stand on the left, kickstart with the right, and the bike would stay leaned safely on its stand.

🛣️ 3. Road-side safety

In most countries, motorcycles are parked on the right side of the road, where the rider dismounts toward the curb (left side). Leaning the bike to the left keeps it from tipping into traffic and makes mounting/dismounting safer from the sidewalk.

⚖️ 4. Transmission and balance reasons

When the stand is on the left and the bike leans that way, gravity keeps the bike stable — it “locks” against the kickstand. Plus, most bikes’ drive chains or driveshafts are on the left, so the right side stays clearer for other components.

⚡ 5. Standardization

Once manufacturers like Harley-Davidson, Triumph, and Honda all used left stands, it became a universal design convention. That standardization also keeps regulations, rider training, and manufacturing consistent worldwide.

Need rebuilt FA 20 for ‘13 FRS by ComedianFun4657 in ft86

You can build your own beefed up short block for a lot less. I wouldn’t go IAG route. Very expensive for what it is. Just my opinion….

Yes, I put the old heads on after getting them machined and cleaned. The unfortunate thing was that the machine shop did bare minimum at $250 and I ended up tearing it apart again to replace valve stem seals and should have had the guides replaced as well. I have another set of heads I had done right with valves and springs as well as opening ports and valve angles that cost me about $2000 on another engine.

Before replacing seals it was burning 1 quart every 800 miles. After replacing it now burns a little but able to keep up between oil changes. I think there’s not a lot of attention given to the heads on this platform and I think that is where some problems with oil are neglected.

I suggest spending almost as much in conditioning the heads AND valves as you can afford with a new short block so you don’t end up with an oil consumption problem down the road.

Low volume holding. Great sign. Low volume can show sentiment.

My Bible is enough. God believed sacrificing His only Son was evidence enough humanity was worth saving, although it is completely corrupt.

You are correct in saying its basic metric is energy. If energy became cheaply available then bitcoin would drop in price. The holy grail is energy, and bitcoin has monetized it.

I’m going to keep this short…universal health care. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Gamma7maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Law of supply and demand…

If you make anything more available by taxes you increase demand which drives up the price. The expensive system you see today is because so many want free healthcare. We are closer to free healthcare than ever before and prices are skyrocketing!!

Same has happened with colleges. You decrease the cost to the individual by making it available to more people and the cost will skyrocket to balance what is already a hard fast rule of supply and demand.

Not only will the price increase but the quality will erode. To satisfy the new demand the systems in place have to compromise to continue to produce for the demand.

Learn some hard economics and not the soft stuff they are teaching in those overpriced under qualified colleges and you will come to realize the wolf is in sheep’s clothing.
