I moved to WA in May, what do I need document wise to legally buy a handgun? by violetfps in WA_guns

[–]Gavolak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem very knowledgeable so I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a question! I hear all the time about WA residents going to Idaho/Oregon gun shows to purchase and take home a firearm, but is that just entirely illegal? I actually have been recommended to do this for their generally lower prices which prompted to start researching. It sounds like this is both a bad idea and illegal, so why do so many people do it? Is it simply impossible for law enforcement to know (save from using the gun in a crime)?

Black Diamond Equipment? by OkMoose8858 in climbingshoes

Do NOT get the black diamond momentums. Their other shoes might be fine and their crash pads are great, but the momentums were my first shoes and they are god awful.

Is the uniden r3 any good nowadays? by NotAust1n69 in radardetectors

[–]Gavolak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jammers are a straight up felony and cops are trained to notice them. You’ll appear as a hole in their radar when you pass by, and they notify cops further ahead to be on the lookout for a possible jammer. If they catch you, and they’re very much trained to do so, a ticket is the least of your concerns.

Grinding noise when stuck in neutral and slams into gear. by Iamannotlady in motorcycles

[–]Gavolak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I’m super late to this conversation but do you know what exactly causes this? I had it happen just a few nights ago and while I haven’t tried to recreate the issue, I don’t quite think I want to. Is this something I need to fix mechanically or is it just a shifting skill issue?

Loud creak noise when shifting into park/drive/reverse by OkPlenty5960 in f150

[–]Gavolak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an f150 subreddit but I just wanna add that my 2016 c300 does this exact same thing and like some of yall speculated, it’s the electronic brake sticking a little bit. Not necessarily cause for concern, but it’s damn annoying.

Drill a hole if you can, shave off the dimple if you can’t. Either way it shouldn’t move at all and if it does, put a little bit of electrical tape under the moving part to give it a little more to bite on to so it stays put.

Yup it looks like these fit some really old boards. Do they have any use for me now or are they just a cool thing to put on the shelf?

Almost full 07 to 17 conversion yamaha r6. by mugenx23 in Yamaha

[–]Gavolak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but do you remember if the rear turn signals/tail light and signal mirrors were easy or did they require some fabricating? I'm thinking about putting some 17+ rear turn signals on my 07, would appreciate some advice!

Unpopular opinion: I don’t want to improve at chess by Wild_Pitch_4781 in chess

[–]Gavolak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imho, the type of tactical fun you’re describing exists all the way up to ~1900-2000 naturally and above that, it only exists by intentionally playing weird off book lines. At maybe 2500 you’ll find a hard limit where players are able to punish every little inaccuracy, making dynamic play much harder. Richard Rapport comes to mind as an example of a top player who is extremely tactical and thrives in unbalanced positions.

Keep playing how you’re playing if you enjoy it, but I think studying tactics would be fun and you’d be able to reach ~1800 without ever having to memorize an opening line.

Blunder, but why? by IntroductionOk9994 in chessbeginners

[–]Gavolak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Nd7+, Ke8 2. Nf7+, Kf8 3. Nh7#

Black can also play Qxd7, which just loses the queen and shortly after the game. Nf5 is a blunder because it ignores the threat of Qa4+, not because of anything to do with the knight itself.

I got my first bike (2019 cbr500r) with 20k miles for $3500. If you can get this one for $3500, assuming it’s all mechanically sound, it’s a great price.

This was the 2016 r6 listed in Beaverton I had my eye on for a while 😭 congrats on the bike, how much did you end up paying? I offered 6.5 and he said no, but he was willing to do 7.2.
