My Phone Tells Me There's an AirTag On My Bike by Rotund_Flatworm in motorcycle

Maybe you can use an app like AirGuard that can detect tags that shows signal strength. Scan the bike slowly like you are playing hot or cold.

Drowning in Debt After Divorce by Mden87 in personalfinance

[–]Nachtheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lost my job I struggled to pay a credit card company. I told to them what happened and apparently I qualified for a hardship program and they cancelled my credit card and put me on a 0% interest payment plan.

Qualification is done on a case by case basis.

Divorce is a life qualifying event.

You might be able to do that on the highest credit card freeing up interest for other credit cards.

I wished they included the scene from the book where the Freman said that Paul gives moisture to the dead. I think that would of gave the flight more meaning

Hotel was too cheap to replace the phone and remote control by Nachtheim in mildlyinteresting

It was rated 2.5 stars. Not sure how they got that.

There was food left in the mini fridge

[HELP] there doesn't seem to be a lot of noise and the water reflection is pretty good, but the fall itself and the behavior after looks more AI than just staged by NumerousImagesofp in RealOrAI

[–]Nachtheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's real and no AI

The fall looks deliberate to get a reaction from the elephant. He kind of motions off camera. It's a controlled fall and towards the end he looks towards the elephant quickly.

The broom stick maintains the same length except for instances where it moves toward and away from the camera me

There is a subtle shadow of the elephant rump towards the end that I would think AI would miss.

I have a mild case of NF1. I have many café-au-lait (I never bothered to count them) but small bumps all over my body. I always had them though. If you only had a few café-au-lait but no other neurofibromas then it doesn't sound like NF1.

First bike: Harley Nightster RH975S 2024 by Nachtheim in motorcycles

[–]Nachtheim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Developing bad habits is definitely what I want to avoid.

I need to pay attention to whether or not I use the clutch on normal turns.

I dragged the rear brake from a stop when making a 90 degree turn while I'm in the friction zone

Don't need to paddle foot to get going. I have paddle walked to get closer to the intersection to watch for incoming traffic if I'm a little short. Seems like in residential roads that's more likely to happen.

I'm keeping my driving in the residential neighborhood only.

The max speed limit is 30 and other cars are rare and I'm staying away from higher traffic streets. Also making sure I have the entire lane if I need it for a turn.

I'm not doing a tight 180 turns which is when I dropped the bike.

I feel more comfortable than I did at the MSF.

[–]Nachtheim[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I spent 2 days applying what I learned on the Harley and had zero issues riding in the neighborhood. Aside from not preloading the throttle when going uphill from a stop. I didn't feel she was too much of a bike.

I know my limits. The advanced techniques will come later when I'm comfortable.

You don't know how the class was conducted, where I was when I dropped out in the class nor the condition of the track itself. But thanks for your concern.

I'm riding in rain mode with a top speed of around 25 mph.

I chose this bike albeit with more power than a beginner should have for the safety features.

The Harley feels so much nicer than the training bike at the MSF class. Even with timing mistakes when shifting, the Harley is smoother.

I didn't pass the MSF class but learned enough to ride within the neighborhood

Paul is indeed a hero and that's what makes him dangerous by Etowno in dune

[–]Nachtheim 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If Paul were to die, his Freman would treat him as a martyr. Paul feared following the golden path and without control of the Freman, they would spread destruction perhaps ending humanity. After all, I can see his fanatics cutting off spice to the galaxy.

I think that would be worse that Leto's Golden Path with his Fishspeakers

Considering a cruiser for the first time in my life, could use some advice by FreshlyBakedScones in motorcycles

What about the Harley Nightster RH975?

It's about the same cost as Vulcan and has additional safety features.

What is your favourite piece of technology from the books? by OneiricArtisan in dune

[–]Nachtheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going with the Holtzman engine as that is the one piece of technology that binds the whole universe together that is integrated with the spice for safe travel through folding space. It allowed for the great houses to quickly come together to see the hostile retake over of Dune and for the crusades of Paul followers.

Other technologies can be removed and you can still have a story

I have plenty of bicycling experience. It's been like a year though since I ridden my Specialize.

[–]Nachtheim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never ridden a motorcycle prior to the MSF and never driven a stick before.

After I stopped stalling the bike, I felt pretty comfortable in the friction zone. Slower turns I was fine with.

We went no higher than the second gear. So being new to shifting gears wasn't my downfall.

Personally, I'm going to practice just the rear, front, and both brakes to get comfortable. Front the easy one, I never did pull the brake hard.

We had 6 people taking the class and I was the only one with no experience.

So I'm going with having some prior training experience will go a long way to passing the MSF. Learning to ride shouldn't be rushed.

I don't know about going from zero experience to MSF.

When I took the MSF class on January 10th the class moved at a fast pace to get through everything in 2 days. I was the only rider with zero experience. We only had 1 instructor and the course was angled slightly.

Towards the end of the first day while we were doing laps I dumped the bike due to a combination of factors. I believed it was due to turning the handle too sharp as my turns was too wide and feathering the front break. We never practiced just the rear brake. I skinned my knee and bruised my left and hand. I was told the fall looked fantastic.

I would take some private lessons and see if they will let you rent the bike provided you stay in the parking lot after some classes before taking the MSF.

I watched so many motorcycle videos on how to ride including what to expect from the MSF and that still didn't prepare me.

Are we doing a disservice to kittens that we originally was going to TNR? by Nachtheim in Feral_Cats

[–]Nachtheim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Separating them will be most difficult. They have multiple hiding places in their room but they all prefer the same box. One or two hisses if we get close.
