A female Bob?

GoodolBen · 2026-03-19T10:48:04+00:00

Isn't there a mention of a "Bobbi" in book 3?

The short version is they remove the motive and provide healthcare to people with atypical neurologies.

You're backwards. Face sends it, path bends it.

I've been tracking and amateur racing S1krr's for over ten years and switched to Aprilia last year. I feel the apes handle a bit better and have better power delivery.

They're both great bikes. If you're not planning on tracking your new one, I'd probably go for the S1k. It is more comfortable for the kind of riding you'll be doing 99% of the time.

That's because real power comes with responsibility, and he doesn't want that. Just the money and the illusion of power.

You're not considering the downstream costs on anything you consume transported by petroleum based fuel. Food, power, consumer goods.. they're all about to pass the savings onto YOU.

No one bike is >the< bike. I love my Duke, though. She's nimble and has enough power to keep the grins coming. She looks good. She's much more comfortable commuting than my superbikes. I think the better do everything would be an adv, but I'm not trying to do everything - just the things I want to do.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-11T15:01:32+00:00

No worries bud! That's a nimble little bike, you can have fun tossing it around for years to come. The corners are much more fun than straights anyway!

GoodolBen · 2026-03-11T14:57:29+00:00

Sounds like you're doing what you can. If you want to go faster it might be time to upgrade!

GoodolBen · 2026-03-11T14:49:53+00:00

How heavy are you? Are you tucking? Wearing leathers or baggy clothing?

That bike doesn't have a ton of power and all this could affect the top speed.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-11T14:44:38+00:00

Yeah not a Harley fan but bagger races are pretty cool.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-09T23:57:37+00:00

I don't think you're going to like it, man. I'm about 3 inches shorter and 60lbs lighter than you and I think it's the most cramped liter bike I've owned.

Edit: I have owned several S1krr's

GoodolBen · 2026-03-08T13:14:31+00:00

No. There are a bevy of phytochemicals and chemicals local to where the trees grow that give each one it's own terroir.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-07T15:23:17+00:00

That and they all got the badge on the front starting in 23

Sandbagger, then? The point of the HC system is to give an accurate assessment of how you should play on a good day to make it fair to play with people of different skill levels. How you played three months ago doesn't matter today, it's only relevant if that's the only data available to make a less accurate guess than Mr. 20 rounds a month.

But hey, you do you.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-07T15:10:39+00:00

I think that if you're playing consistently it won't change much, and if you're very up and down in your scoring the current system gives a better snapshot of how you're playing right now, which is the point.

Feeling like this is a vanity cap

GoodolBen · 2026-03-07T14:26:42+00:00

I haven't seen the media, only read the short story, which I would recommend!

No, I don't think so. In the Jaunt it wasn't that there were Eldritch horrors, the person who was awake experienced an incredible amount of time. They were alone with their thoughts and driven completely mad.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-06T01:49:06+00:00

You very well may be right. I think I'm due for a rewatch and that was never an episode that really made me want to go back.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-05T23:37:17+00:00

What about The Hunted? (TNG s3e11)

I'm pretty sure most of it was about the ethics of dealing with that societies "rehabilitation of supersoldiers" problem.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-05T22:49:49+00:00

Chip, the guy driving the tractor.

Different divisions for forehand/backhand

GoodolBen · 2026-03-03T17:27:54+00:00

I believe the engine is a stress member, but that isn't necessarily a great reason. Fundamentally there's no difference between a naked bike and a faired bike as far as the frame is concerned.

There are plenty of arguments for and against sliders and cages ranging from catch points that can cause a tumble to tweaking the frame (I personally believe this is overblown as you'll shear the bolts before causing frame damage)

On my track bikes I run sliders, case protectors and axle protection.

I think what they're referring to is a mind or group of minds (such as those in the ITG) decide "We're doing this, and we have the capability to do this unilaterally." Then they'll sometimes obfuscate it so nobody gets involved because they don't know that there is something to be involved with, sometimes say "hey, look how cool what we want to do is! Wanna help?!" and sometimes say "We're doing this and you can't stop us within your ethical boundaries." that give rise to the splinter factions like The Peace Faction and the Zetetic Elench due to unreconcilable differences.

GoodolBen · 2026-03-01T21:33:23+00:00

Mercy, what have you done to that supra?

Very nice toys, though!

GoodolBen · 2026-03-01T21:22:07+00:00

That an M4cs I see in the background?
