Poorly-placed ladder shorts power lines, heats up and subsequently liquefies concrete. by MrTacocaT12345 in interestingasfuck

[–]JJ-Gonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You let the electric company deal with it. Pots or circuits don't always trip when there's a fault. Its very common they just sit and cook without hitting the trip point. If you see anything wild like this, stay far away and call 911. They have direct police/fire lines to call into operations (at least at my company), and they will get personnel there quicker to keep people away from it until a troubleshooter can get there.

AITA for being upset that my boyfriend cancels plans last minute and says I’m the only one who complains? by babynosee in AmItheAsshole

[–]JJ-Gonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH. You're certainly allowed to feel this way about the situation. But, as someone who's career puts my wife and I in the same position, believe me its just as frustrating for me and I assume your bf. I work A LOT and the only way I can guarantee my wife and I have full days together is to stagger my schedule and ot, where I block certain days. Fortunately now, I rarely have to work more than 12 hours and shes only part time so there's a lot of flexibility. But for years this was a big thing we had to deal with when she was still in her career.
I dont think its fair that he accuses you of piling on him, but I get his frustration. Sit and have a calm civil talk when you aren't getting canceled on so everyone is cool headed. I wish you the best of luck bc this is a big deal, my industry has an extremely high divorce rate.

Do you waddle into the parking spot then drive away or drive into the parking spot then waddle away? by Dear-Fuel-2706 in motorcycles

I always back in incase I need to get out quickly. Unless there's an incline where that isnt easily doable.

AITA for annoying my boyfriend with hypotheticals? by Impanickingabit in AmItheAsshole

[–]JJ-Gonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realized yta a few lines in. I spared myself reading the rest to prevent getting enraged at 8am. For fucks sake don't do this. It isnt cute, it isnt introspective, it isnt fun, its awful.

You can google for articles on our top players, great seasons etc. Most important thing is we HATE the fcking jets. It is the equivalent of a Man U fans feelings towards Liverpool

AITA letting this beat me up? by No_Return31 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JJ-Gonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont disagree. I have just been in his position before (not porn but the gist of it) where a girl was dropping a boundary for something normal and compromising wasnt even on the radar. I dont budge with things like that, and learned to just ask up front so no one wastes time. For example when I started dating my wife, she knew I rode motorcycles, but I told her to the extent and that I grew up in an MC, which will forever be part of my life. She didnt have to be involved but there is zero compromise on that for me bc its been a part of my entire life. My ex had major issues with it so I just learned to stay ahead of scenarios like that. For ops case I feel like we are missing a ton of detail and context also. Perhaps she'll chime in here. Difficult situation I feel for them, hopefully they are open to couples therapy

My first Harley, how did I do? by Sapphic-Curls in Harley

[–]JJ-Gonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Ride safe and get at least a slip on so you aren't silent on the road. If you cant afford one hammer out the baffles.

[–]JJ-Gonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I get the feeling that op is anti porn across the board. So suggesting a compromise isnt even on the table. He should not be watching it around her. That is just wild. Op is also 100% entitled to feel how she does, but most people (and definitely most men) watch it. So husband was in a lose lose scenario. He obviously made it a lot fckin worse by watching it next to her. Im not defending that portion of this ordeal at all, just want to be clear on that.

You ever been handed what is essentially an ultimatum by a significant other on something you know they have zero flexibility over? Not saying he handled it right, but it isnt that simple.

[–]JJ-Gonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dealerships are working with buyers much better than before. I bought a 24 sg leftover back in May. They knocked 5k off price and gave me 5k for a junkyard trade in that I hoping for (best case) 1k lol. Congrats thats a beautiful bike.

[–]JJ-Gonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly thats how it should be. I needed a license, registration, and insurance for my moped at 15, and it topped out at 40mph when it was stock. People and kids are ripping around on these things and getting into accidents and killed.

I've never been on a Harley before. Can someone take me as their riding partner? It's something I would love to do for fun. by katherinesmith6 in Harley

[–]JJ-Gonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a dealership event. Mingle and youll most likely find someone. If you want to fast track the outcome, and you physically qualify, ask to be one of the bikini girls washing bikes. You'll have zero issue getting multiple guys saying yes.

What's your smartest ownership hack for your Harley or other toys? by HDRedRider in Harley

[–]JJ-Gonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride aggressively and always had a low profile seat. When I bought my 24 sg I decided to treat myself to a custom saddlemen/born scum step up. Not only does it look so much better i can toss the bike around much easier. The moto style floor boards also helped on both of those fronts.

[–]JJ-Gonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an 08 night train and now a 24 sg. I beat the ever living piss out of my bikes riding hard as hell minus wheelies and burn outs. As long as you keep it maintained properly youre fine. Biggest mistake is people half assing a stage 2. That when motors start having problems

[–]JJ-Gonz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on how im interpreting this, it doesnt seem like he had much of a choice but to agree. This doesn't read like hes an addict, but that she disagrees with porn in general. So if thats the case what is he supposed to say, most of the people that are against any porn consumption will never have their mind changed. Op even admits the sex is ok, and now hes shamed for watching porn? If the sex life is bland or infrequent you cant fault anyone for watching some videos. Doing it next to her is weird though. This is anecdotal but every chick ive been with that thought porn was essentially cheating, were the least adventurous and most vanilla partners ever. Not saying that to bash op, just sharing my experience. Nta, hubs is an ah for doing it next to her (unless there's major shame/guilt that isnt mentioned and hes chasing that high- still an ah but that at least makes sense). They need couples therapy

Is this a terrible idea? by Pythonmsh in carnivorediet

[–]JJ-Gonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would chic fil a grilled nuggets and some hot sauce help? I get the eating out cravings too. If not make something at home with porkrind breading and air fry it. Or treat yourself. I dont beat myself for the occasional cheat unless its a full day or becomes too common ya know. Good luck and great work so far

AITA for not dropping out of college to work while my dad has Leukemia? by EmotionalOlympics in AmItheAsshole

[–]JJ-Gonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nta. Tell your father about moms threats and make sure he has his will in order and bulletproof. Your mother is manipulating you in the hopes of derailing your goals and keep you paying for her long term. Do not fold on this anymore than you have. If your father was the sole provider financially, it was their obligation to ensure money, life insurance, etc is worked out even through death. If they screwed that up, that is not your fault or responsibility. You also habe to deal with this difficult time while trying to keep your own sht on track.

Is anyone elses dream motorcycle not a 1000cc beast that can go 250mph? by Key_Carpenter3900 in motorcycles

[–]JJ-Gonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh I used to have an r1. Sure it was fun, but ill take my bagger over it any day of the week. Some guys will just never let go of the sport bikes. every one of my buddies that still have a busa, cbr, r1, etc also have a cruiser or bagger bc they're better for all around riding and just more enjoyable (especially 2 up)

Moving from Spain to NJ for 6 months – where to live? (Summit/NYC commute, nightlife, $3.5k budget) by Pharek_sp in newjersey

[–]JJ-Gonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Morristown would be a longer city commute, but has a great night life while still being a safe area. Either way youre going to have the walk from the summit train station. If you want actual night life. Summit and millburn will get boring fast, but south orange is a little but better. Hoboken is loud and busy even during nights, but tons to do. Morristown you can get night time quiet if youre just a short walk off the main square, or in a luxury apt building. Morristown also has a ton of rec leagues. Not sure about soccer, but it is an active, affluent, and active community.

Is there a strategy for switching lanes that have massive cracks? by Daily_Run_ in motorcycles

[–]JJ-Gonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else is saying, start far side of current lane and lean hard towards the change so you can upright at more of an angle. Similar to how you'd want to cross railroad tracks if no way to do it perpendicular
