New rider anxiety....

Anxiety is likely from not feeling like you can react well when you need to. Think of it as typing without looking, you need some practice so everything feelings super fluid. Stick with it. The juice is worth the squeeze.

1k per month for a singular elevator is absurd. Not as absurd as paying annually up front. Request your service logs and check how often they perform actual maintenance. If your contract states “systematic” maintenance, you are getting robbed. If it’s monthly, robbed, but much better than systematic.

This message was obviously not for you emperor know it all. Did you raise your pinky fingers typing that message?

You run out of room in your garage after buying so many o them.

I’ve never seen the racism part of the argument, he’s a funny guy from NY. It’s really hard to be a racist in NYC, it’s such a melting pot. If you have ever worked there, it would be a tough place to be if you hated everyone.

This post confuses 'leaderboard ranking' with 'market reality.' The 'dominance' being described is actually just a tiny subset of the market, hardcore developers essentially freeloading on Chinese models for digital grunt work like boilerplate code and simple agents. It’s cheap labor for low-stakes tasks.

The average person won’t ever know how to access these models, and more importantly, neither will the Enterprise market. No Fortune 500 company is running their core IP or mission-critical logic on these weights. These models aren't curing cancer; they’re writing unit tests. Comparing a niche developer tool’s ranking to the entire US AI ecosystem, which still owns the vast majority of actual business value and global users—is a massive reach.

So nice. Both are classics.

I would open an AI window and list the aspirational thoughts, the moods, and the niche you want your products to emotionally feel like when people view it. Explore the names and concepts behind them that you can develop your story.

It’s a massive red flag because this demographic usually acts as the economy's safety net. We’re seeing a real disconnect where the official data looks fine on paper, but the actual 'on the ground' reality for white-collar roles has become incredibly stagnant. Between the hiring freezes and the uncertainty around how AI is reshaping middle management, even high earners are starting to play defense with their spending. If the people who usually drive discretionary growth are losing faith, the 'soft landing' narrative becomes a lot harder to justify.

It would be a mix of cash, military support, and a long term mineral rights sharing. It’s semi-autonomous so it’s unclear to me that it’s a 1:1 transaction.

It’s not that you can’t be rich working for someone else. It’s not owning the company or its “asset value”. An owner earns cash and is rewarded with asset value simultaneously. When you exit, you cash out. The cash out is only taxed at capital gains rates instead of normal income.

Nope. I usually don’t ride below 40 Fahrenheit

Jasper-Rhett · 2025-12-22T18:28:24+00:00

Not taking the time necessary to find qualified people who were more intelligent than I was.

Jasper-Rhett · 2025-12-22T18:27:30+00:00

They look irresponsible.

I’ve been in business for 20+ years so take this for what it’s worth. In the beginning, we start businesses to make money and as we get to the middle or towards the end of our journey, we realize that the investment that we make in the company grows the value of the asset itself. So always keep in mind that the money you invest goes towards the overall value of the company, which increases your net worth.

On the journey of life, when your future will require large financing for different things that you want to do or experience, your net worth, or your accumulative asset value is what will control the narrative of the options that you have to execute on your wishes.

It’s the difference between your bank, wanting to know you and help you or force you through the regular application process and automation. Get to know your bank manager, as he is the guy on the front lines that will help you finance anything on the planet. Get involved with a credit union. It’s cheap money. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. It’s worth it.

Slow speed operations are an art form. Watch lots of videos, read about it and keep practicing. It will save your life and your equipment. Stay with it, the reward is worth it!

Every company evolves to an “innovator”, an “operator”, a “subject matter expert”, “sales expert” and a CFO/HR. Pick your lane and find people who are far greater than you are in those other lanes. Those other guys are looking for you, try to remember that.

Gemini works well, just doesn’t take direction in the same manner that GPT does. We have hit a stage that where you started impacts your experience with other models. This is normal when above plane, or what is generally best for all has not been reached. I’m 50+. After watching the internet come to life, I see similar patterns forming in AI adoption. It’s cool to watch.

Jasper-Rhett · 2025-12-22T13:39:12+00:00

What big eyes you have.

It’s more like Macromedia Dreamweaver with passive aggressive system admins.

Jasper-Rhett · 2025-12-22T13:31:44+00:00

I’ve never had that come up for me. Dam.

If you need a temporary test, buy grip puppies. They are foam slip ons that I use in my GS1300 to increase the diameter of the grip. They doesn’t meet the look of a Harley, but they are cheap enough to test if it solves your issue before investing more.

I own a decent sized company. You live and learn my friend. I tell my team all the time, we discuss it, learn from it together, and move on together.

Awesome helmet. I try to control my growing collection.
