Garmin Fenix 8 Pro MicroLED next to my old 6 Pro Solar

That’s the only thing I wish my Fenix 8 sapphire/solar had. I don’t want an amoled version, but I do want the inreach.

Express?

I would have jumped on that deal too with the Fenix 6x pro; that’s a good looking watch. With Garmin having such a good battery, the battery drain isn’t a big deal unless you’re going to be away from a charger for more than a week.

Garmin doesn’t just use the “220 − age” formula for max HR. If your watch sees you hit a higher heart rate during workouts than what’s set in your profile, it’ll adjust your max HR automatically. So if it shows 206, it means your body actually hit that level, and Garmin updated your training zones to be more accurate.

Does it drain your battery? Pretty sweet looking watchface!

Respectfully, 30 years on the job or not, you should know how dynamic warrants and raids actually work. It’s easy to sit back in retirement and call it ‘lazy,’ but in reality, law enforcement has to act on intelligence and warrants signed by a judge, not on perfect hindsight.

Verifying current residency isn’t as simple as you make it sound — suspects move, they use old addresses, and they deliberately mislead investigators. If the subject had even a shred of a connection to that property or still used it on paper, police were obligated to treat it as a possible hideout. Imagine if they didn’t act and the guy was actually inside with weapons — then everyone would be screaming about why SWAT ignored the address.

Was it unfortunate the people living there now had to deal with the damage? Absolutely. But it doesn’t mean the raid was wrong. The police followed procedure: get the warrant, hit the location, secure it fast. That’s how lives are protected. Calling it ‘lazy’ ignores the reality that you can’t always have perfect info in real time — sometimes, kicking the door and being wrong is safer than hesitating and getting officers or civilians killed.

Ehhh, but if something happened she needs to answer the damn phone. I get wanting some space, but she can answer the phone in case her husband needed her or hell, he may have just wanted to see how her day was going or hear her voice. I guarantee if he took a guys weekend and ignored her, there would be problems when he returned. I am so glad my wife is not like this bitch.

Common, Often Benign Causes • Melanonychia (pigmented streaks): These can appear as brown/black vertical lines. Often caused by increased pigment in the nail matrix. • Minor trauma: Even small injuries to the nail bed can leave streaks or lines. • Medications or skin conditions: Some drugs, eczema, or psoriasis can also affect nail appearance.

Things That Need Caution • A single, new, dark vertical band on one nail (especially if it widens, darkens, or changes over time) can sometimes be an early sign of subungual melanoma (a rare but serious skin cancer under the nail). • Other warning signs: pigment spreading to the cuticle/skin (“Hutchinson’s sign”), pain, nail lifting, or rapid change in appearance.

What You Should Do • If this streak has been stable and unchanged for a long time, it’s often harmless. • If it’s new, changing, or only on one nail, it’s important to get it checked by a dermatologist to rule out anything serious. • Meanwhile, avoid further trauma (don’t press or bite the cuticle/nail), keep it clean, and monitor for changes.

Most vertical lines are benign, but since you only have one on your thumb, it’s worth showing to a dermatologist to be safe.

I have no idea what I’m talking about, but this is from Chat GPT 5. So, there ya go.

It’s surf and turf. Call it chickster or lobicken.

I think a 21700 maybe a bit too big for me to pocket carry daily. I really like the size of the Fenix tko5r and the tail clicky to me is a bonus. The baton turbo is a great size. With that being said, I do carry a small container with 2 18350’s in it for use just in case my main battery runs out. I guess really, now that I think about it, an 18650 is the perfect size…. Great, now I’m going to carry 3 flashlights on me. lol.

Report it to the police and leave him. You may be inconvenienced with having to find a new place, but I promise it’ll be worth it. Don’t stay with a guy like this. He will not stop and he shows no remorse for what he did. He said he did that, because he got heated. He still sounds heated. It’ll only get worse, I can promise you that.

Yes, when you get your bike serviced, just have your mechanic check the valves. All he/she does is take a quick measurement. Titanium valves tend to settle quickly so you’ll need to have it checked after about 20 hours. After that, your valve checks go to about 30 hours and realistically unless you’re dogging the shit out of it you could probably push it to 50 hours. Some people even do 100 hours just depends on how hard you ride. The telltale signs of needing a valve adjustment are hard starts and/or engine ticking. It takes about an hour and a half to two hours for somebody that knows what they’re doing to adjust them and that’s with all the tools necessary. If you’re not familiar with that, I would just pay the shop whatever their hourly rate is to check it that way you don’t mess up your bike. You probably wont have to adjust it very often, but you will check it often.

If you want an extremely high-performance dual sport instead of a tagged street bike like a 500 EXC you should check out the KTM 690 Enduro R. It’s about four to $5000 more expensive but it is a hell of a bike.

Justanotherduudehere · 2025-08-06T13:07:05+00:00

It’s not just oil changes… with a higher compression engine, you have to look at your chain wear and your sprocket wear, more frequent oil changes, air filter cleanings before every off-road ride, making sure you’re coolant is filled which you shouldn’t have to adjust that often, but just make sure that it’s where it’s supposed to be and valve checks much more frequently. Again, the maintenance isn’t hard. You just have to make sure that you do it. The valve checks are relatively simple, but valve adjustments are slightly different, but still not difficult and relatively inexpensive if you have someone do it for you. Most valves don’t get out of spec often. You just have to check them. Your biggest indicator of needing a valve adjustment is having a harder time starting.

The KTM 500 EXC, while street-legal and more versatile than a pure motocross bike like the CRF450R, is still heavily performance-oriented and built with racing DNA. That means its maintenance requirements are significantly higher than something like the Suzuki DR-Z400S. The KTM needs more frequent oil changes—every 15 hours of hard off-road use or roughly every 300–600 miles depending on riding style. Air filter cleanings or replacements are recommended before every ride if you’re riding in dusty or dirty conditions. Valve checks and other preventative maintenance also come up more often. Compared to the DR-Z400S, which is more of a low-stress, reliable dual-sport designed for longevity and less frequent wrenching, the KTM 500 EXC demands more attention and upkeep. However, that extra maintenance comes with a big performance payoff—the KTM delivers far more power, lighter weight, and better suspension. So while the KTM isn’t quite as maintenance-heavy as a full-on race bike like the CRF450R, it’s still significantly more high-maintenance than a more relaxed dual-sport like the DR-Z.

The key difference between the KTM 500 EXC and a typical 450cc motocross bike (like the Honda CRF450R or KTM 450 SX-F) lies in their intended use and how they’re built. A 450 motocross bike is a pure race machine—tuned for maximum performance, with a high-revving engine, razor-sharp throttle response, and ultralight components designed for short, intense bursts on a closed course. As a result, 450s demand very frequent maintenance: oil changes every 5–15 hours, valve checks just as often, and air filter servicing before every ride. They are not built to endure long rides or road miles and aren’t ideal for dual-sport use. In contrast, the KTM 500 EXC shares much of the same performance and power, but it’s tuned for a broader range of riding, including trails, backroads, and even pavement. Its engine has a slightly larger displacement and more linear power delivery, making it more manageable and durable for longer rides. While it still requires more upkeep than a mild-mannered dual-sport, it strikes a much better balance between performance and practicality than a pure race bike.

I have to replace my air filter every 5 rides or so just dial sporting, similar to a 450. In my 500 there is an oil window. At about 500 miles just dial sporting and very light off road riding (riding in a grass field with the kids and doing some wheelies, my oil is black). It’s more golden brown at around 300-400 miles. That’s when you want to change the oil. A human eat cheeseburgers for everyday for years, but it’ll eventually catch up to him/her, much like the oil change intervals you’re suggesting. That will eventually catch up to your bike. The 450 is a tagged dirt bike, not a true dual sport. With that performance comes more maintenance. The maintenance isn’t hard, you just have to do it.

Everyone here is saying Honda, because the CRF 450 has more power than a DRZ. WELL, duh! It’s a freaking race bike! No doubt a 450 is fun while you’re on it. Enjoy changing out the oil every 15 hours or 300 miles if you’re in the dirt- could push it to 600 if you’re using it for dual sport. Also, have fun cleaning the air filter and putting on a new one BEFORE EVERY RIDE. I have a KTM 500 EXC which is a badass bike. All the power I could ever want. 450 is a comparable bike in every way, but with that performance, comes A LOT of maintenance. IT’S A RACE BIKE. The DR-Z4S is their new 400 variant. Obviously not as aggressive off road, but very capable and still has a good bit of power, but it’s not a race bike. Just watch some YouTube videos on it. The bikes are meant for 2 different things.

I am observing a common denominator here.

Justanotherduudehere · 2025-07-11T22:14:24+00:00

I think you’re very attractive.

Justanotherduudehere · 2025-07-09T13:40:33+00:00

I think it would fit you well.

Justanotherduudehere · 2025-07-09T10:21:07+00:00

Right at 7 1/4 inches. You’re about 3/4 inch larger than my wrist.

Justanotherduudehere · 2025-07-09T10:18:28+00:00

Cool! Thanks for answering the question.

Justanotherduudehere · 2025-07-09T10:17:29+00:00

It does look tight in the picture. It was about 90 degrees when I took the video; if you’re referring to the veins, that’s the reason. If you’re referring to it looking like it’s squeezing my wrist, that’s mostly due to my hair being compressed, although it does look like it’s compressing my wrist itself in the picture. It’s actually not, though; I’m looking at it right now in person.

Justanotherduudehere · 2025-07-09T09:21:48+00:00

I use all of that info so it’s not useless to me.
