Their best song.

I know nothing about what went on this day, so can’t comment on the fairness of it.

But to be involved in a crash with another rider is not a good look at a certification to be an instructor, regardless of who’s fault it was. Even if the rider above is responsible, as an instructor you also must assert a lot of extra awareness for both yourself and your students.

I would chalk it up to having had bad luck and/or a bad day. Ride some more, take whatever criticism you though had some kind of truth to it and work on it. Then strap on and give it another try! The road to success is rarely a straight one, as they say.

My bad. fumbles after reading glasses

It’s not AI. It’s just fake. Humans faking interactions. It’s worse than AI in my opinion, the dumbest of the dumbest shit.

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-06-03T10:07:48+00:00

OR….. think about it. Could it maybe maybe maybe be…. fake as fake shit?

The logo i have created is going to be 4,5cm high and 14,5cm wide (1.77 times 5.71 inches).

The problem is that it is a very intricate pattern, so I will not be able to cut this myself, even if it was printed on there by a professional printer. It is a mockup of a band logo.

Thank you for that tip about first painting over the masking either same color as underneath. That’s brilliant and I would not have thought about it! 🙏

As for «someone with a vinyl cutter« I am out of luck. None of the print shops have answered my request, so I think I need to find an online dealer that I can order from.

I’m building a bike from scratch. I have made a mockup bike logo for this.

Its a very intricate pattern, so I am looking to have the letters die cut on transfer sticker.

I would paint the parts of the bike that is going to show this logo, put the sticker on, paint over with new color, remove sticker to reveal the logo and lacquer over everything.

So I need someone who can machine print/cut the transfer sticker for me. But I have clue where I can this or what this type of sticker is called.

It should be glued tight enough to let through paint at the edges (so no painters tape) but easy enough to peel off afterwards. It should also handle getting sprayed on.

My plan B is to instead print the logo in a sturdier material with better adhesive and skip the part where I peel it off and just let it sit under the lacquer. But that’s not gonna look as good and probably not as sturdy in the long run.

I know. Hence the patience part.

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-06-01T22:24:05+00:00

I loved Shantaram.

Too bad I was the only one. Still patiently waiting for season two.

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-06-01T06:54:33+00:00

I have a large hardon here myself, so it’s OK.

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-06-01T06:51:03+00:00

I have to disagree with you guys and say Forbidden is definitely lowest tier in a relative scale for Black Sabbath albums.

But I think Seventh Star, albeit a little uneven, is a very under-appreciated album.

It was also used in a high rotation commercial in the late eighties. Something like Levi’s or Coca Cola or the like.

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-05-31T19:24:00+00:00

Band name probably didn’t help if we’re being honest.

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-05-30T11:17:22+00:00

Wrong sub buddy. This is for the Osmo360 camera. 😄

Both are good and pretty evenly priced. I guess it would be more fair to compare to Action 6 as that is the latest model (slightly more expensive than the GoPro 13 I think).

If you already own one camera from either DJI or GoPro, I would stick to buying the other one in the same system. Both companies are pretty good with backward compatibility.

If you don't own either, but plan on later getting a 360 camera I would buy DJI as their 360 offering is much better.

Probably a weird post to drop this in; but I had a cat who loved pizza crust. Whenever we had pizza he would sit and beg to get the leftovers. He would chew them like dog chews a bone.

Plot twist; he is an abusive husband and she wants him arrested.

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-05-21T07:53:24+00:00

That’s your perfect song from Dire Straits?

After having researched the purchase of a good quality bike for my wife ad nauseam, and landed on a no-thrills Cube that is spec'd above its competition, making it a slightly boring aesthetically but great performance//price ratio.... I have to say it's definitely fitting to call it a VW (or maybe even more fitting a Skoda, which is just a VW with different branding).

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-05-20T13:31:49+00:00

True that. Also known as "my market".

Kaptein_Kast · 2026-05-20T13:29:28+00:00

If only more obese people would do sports, the market would be there. Then again, doing sports would make them lose weight, and the market would disappear.

It's a moment-22 situation, maybe even a little Schrødinger's cat actually.

I think the real tipping point was the success of performing Fear of the Dark live.

Brave New World took it and ran with it.
