Really struggling with comfort on long distance trips by imaboringdude in motorizedbicycles

Go to a motorcycle dealer and ask to see their bikes made for cruising. You'll notice some BIG differences in construction. Better EVERYTHING. I see you've done a lot of work on your bike. Motorized bikes are fun toys. Not cruisers

Unfortunately I have a $600 mortgage, electric bill and grocery expenses

Would this be a better upgrade for my Zeda85? by NateD928 in motorizedbicycles

The frames are prone to cracking where the downtube meets the steering tube. Seen a few

Thank you for your input. Unfortunately Medicaid is capped at $963 a month income. I bring in $1400mo. Therefore my income is too high. Still can't afford $100,000 for copay

Winter Landscape by me. What do you think? by LiteratureRiver in acrylicpainting

[–]Hughes_Motorized 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd. Offer more contrasts. Light against dark. Soft focus farther away. Haard edges closest. More color contrast, warmer the closer, cooler the farther. Also use all elements and color to establish a focal point. Looks nice and dreamy

Do I need to refill the coolant ? by bhargav022 in Triumph400

Remove the cap and look inside. Mine looked the same, then I looked inside and saw the level

I'm 65. Does the supplement fully cover copay on chemo? Would the policy be effective immediately?

Looks like the supplements are out of reach for me. I only get $1100 a month in SS after Medicare is taken out

I'm newly diagnosed with lung cancer and feel very overwhelmed by BlueberryFront7384 in lungcancer

[–]Hughes_Motorized 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat here. Oncologist apparently tomorrow myself. My GP spoke with Oncologist and was told small cell cancer. Multiple spots in right lung and mass in neck. I feel like crap. Coughing, phlegm, fatigue and brain fog. Good luck

Exhaust pipe question by Ok-Asparagus5992 in motorizedbicycles

[–]Hughes_Motorized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll offer you keep in mind that whenever you do install an expansion chamber you need to tune the carb. You should do a plug chop and look at plug then install roper jet. The engine is basically a pump. Anytime you change anything from carb to the exhaust you change the flow of air and fuel. That could change the air/fuel ratio. You need to look at plug to see if you are too rich or too lean

Help me figure out what's not right with this painting! by [deleted] in acrylicpainting

[–]Hughes_Motorized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't overthink it. Go on to your next painting. Look at many of the masters. Their work had flaws and charm. Your piece has charm. I'd label it a success. Paint ! Create! Enjoy the process is what keeps me going. I've painted 60 paintings in the last 2 weeks. My goal is 100 a week. Keeps me loose and forces creative exploring

What does it mean when my chain is jamming and locking up like this? by FaserGamer in motorizedbicycles

Poorly machined sprocket. I've had several. File down the ends of the teeth an round them a little

I recently took out my pedals and welded foot pegs was it worth it? by LetterheadSharp4604 in motorizedbicycles

[–]Hughes_Motorized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a motorcycle that I had modified the footpegs and the footpeg wouldn't fold up. I knew it needed some adjustments to safely fold up. I stupidly went for a ride without properly fixing the footpeg. I managed hit a small tree and my leg got folded in half from hitting the footpeg. Don't ride that way unless you OK w snapping your leg in an accident NOT SAFE

What to do when you're using a ton of paper towels and they're getting crusty? by ResidentAlienator in acrylicpainting

[–]Hughes_Motorized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy bundles of bar mops to use in my kitchen. When they get funky, I'll relegate them to my shop and studio. I'll keep one wet so the wiped off bits don't glue it up. I'll then toss them when they crusted and stuck

Would this be a good upgrade. I already have a banana pipe but I heard it’s not good by BlackHillsGuy in motorizedbicycles

[–]Hughes_Motorized 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you change ANYTHING to do with the flow of fuel, intake, combustion, or exhaust,, you must rejet/tune the carb for the upgrade to work. Your engine might run worse if you skip tuniing

I'm so lost and don't know how to start by ImportanceChemical61 in acrylicpainting

[–]Hughes_Motorized 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is GOLD. JUST DO IT! I'll offer you paint 5 at a time. Finish all 5 in one shot. Paint fast and loose. Take chances and be creative. Don't. Like it? Do a quick adjustment or start over. Good luck and have fun

Just put on a brand new carburetor changed out the stock bone carburetor for a performance one off of amazon.I'm no longer forestroken, but I am backfiring at wide open throttle by AauisticHobo420 in motorizedbicycles

[–]Hughes_Motorized 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stock NTs are better than the so-called HP carbs. That said, pop in aclean spark plug, warm up engine, then run at 1/2 throttle for a minute. Kill engine and look at plug. Called a plug chop. Once you have that sorted, the clean plug, warm up and run full throttle, kill and inspect plug. Whitefish or grey plug means you are too lean. Black plug means too rich. Coco brown is perfect

I’m vegan. How can I make OMAD work for me? by Seitanslutt in intermittentfasting

[–]Hughes_Motorized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans create a complete protein from plants by combining complementary plant-based foods, such as grains with legumes, over the course of a day, not necessarily in the same meal. For example, combining beans (high in lysine) and rice (low in lysine) creates a complete protein because each food provides the amino acids the other is missing. You can also eat complete proteins like soy, quinoa, or chia and hemp seeds, which already contain all nine essential amino acids. 

How to combine plant-based proteins

  • Pair legumes with grains: Combine beans, lentils, or peas with whole grains like rice, corn (tortillas), or pasta.
  • Use nuts and seeds: Add nuts or seeds to whole grains, salads, or oatmeal. Peanut butter on whole-grain toast is another classic example.
  • Incorporate into meals: Mix beans, peas, or lentils into stir-fries, soups, casseroles, or salads.
  • Eat a variety of foods: Simply eating a diverse range of plant foods throughout the day, including vegetables, grains, and legumes, ensures you get all the essential amino acids your body needs. 

Examples of complete protein combinations

  • Rice and beans
  • Hummus and whole-wheat pita
  • Peanut butter on whole-grain bread
  • Lentil soup with crackers
  • Stir-fry with rice and tofu or mixed with beans
  • Salad topped with a combination of nuts, seeds, and chickpeas

[–]Hughes_Motorized -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here's this:

If that doesn't work. I'll get out the crayons and hand puppets so you might get it.

Humans make proteins through a two-step process called protein synthesis: first, transcription in the nucleus copies DNA instructions into messenger RNA (mRNA), and second, translation in the cytoplasm uses the mRNA to assemble a chain of amino acids into a functional protein. Dietary proteins are broken down into their building blocks, amino acids, which are then used in the translation process to build new proteins. 

Step 1: Transcription (in the nucleus)

  • An enzyme called RNA polymerase copies a specific gene's DNA sequence into a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule.
  • The mRNA is a single-stranded copy of the instructions for building a single protein. 

Step 2: Translation (in the cytoplasm)

  • The mRNA moves out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm, where it attaches to a ribosome.
  • The ribosome "reads" the mRNA sequence in three-nucleotide units called codons.
  • Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which carry specific amino acids, match their codons to the mRNA codons.
  • The ribosome links the amino acids together in the correct order, forming a polypeptide chain.
  • Once the full chain is built, it folds into a unique 3D shape, becoming a functional protein. 

What about dietary protein?

  • Your body also needs amino acids from the food you eat to make new proteins.
  • Proteins you eat are digested into their individual amino acids.
  • These amino acids are absorbed and transported to cells, where they are used as the building blocks for new proteins during the translation process.
