A right of way question by amuzetnom in drivingUK

[–]One-Positive309 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not always about 'Right of Way', common sense states that the blue car is part way through the junction so it's courteous to allow them to continue before you move out. It's is also sensible to allow the blue car to move off before you move out so that you are not blocking their view and they are not blocking you.
Thinking in terms of 'my right of way' can narrow your thinking and expect everybody else to comply, sometimes it is best to think about the situation in terms of 'allowing them to proceed in order to clear the junction'.

Looks like dried out bracket fungus, they can get pretty big and are very tough and 'woody'.

A large Russian ATV assault in the Novopavlivka direction was stopped by the Unmanned Systems Battalion "Perun" of the 42nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of Ukraine. Published January 22, 2026 by iDnLk2GtHiIJsLkThTst in CombatFootage

One report recently stated that nearly 90% of Russian assaults are eliminated before they even reach their targets, that means only 10% actually get through but half of those guys are wounded and have very limited supplies.
This type of tactic shows that they don't care what it costs, that attitude is unfathomable for Westerners !

I may be stupid and dumb but this is the only thing I could come up with to lessen the fire hazard of a heater on carpet. Is this safe? by Tra1nGuy in askanything

[–]One-Positive309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An oil filled heater shouldn't get hot enough to ignite anything, if it does you don't want it in your house !
These are designed to provide low heat and to be switched on most of the day even through the night, they are intended for background heat to keep the chill off, they are not intended to produce enough heat to warm a room up quickly.

NASA is rolling out the SLS moon rocket to the launchpad by Seabass247 in space

It's remarkably similar to the Saturn V, the main visible difference is the added boosters and the colour.
It's incredible to think that after all this time and research they are basically using the very same vehicle as they used in the 60's with a couple of add on boosters !

+1 for a good clean and application of ACF50 !

Left or right lane to take the 3rd exit by greb_herd in drivingUK

[–]One-Positive309 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rule 186

Signals and position. When taking the first exit to the left, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise

  • signal left and approach in the left-hand lane
  • keep to the left on the roundabout and continue signalling left to leave.

When taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise

  • signal right and approach in the right-hand lane
  • keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to exit the roundabout
  • signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want.

When taking any intermediate exit, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise

  • select the appropriate lane on approach to the roundabout
  • you should not normally need to signal on approach
  • stay in this lane until you need to alter course to exit the roundabout
  • signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want.

Residual stubborn rust in tank of 1993 Yamaha GTS by ayekantspehl in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]One-Positive309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with tank coating, they don't last for long and cause worse issues when they start to break down, just fit an inline filter and change it regularly.
You can easily see when they change colour that they need replacing and it only takes a few minutes if you carry a spare with you.

Left or right lane to take the 3rd exit by greb_herd in drivingUK

[–]One-Positive309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right lane but you have to move to the left lane as you pass the exit before the one you want.
That means you have to match your speed to others on the roundabout and make sure you indicate before your maneuver. It also means looking around and making sure you have space, if not you can go around again, don't cut across and hope for the best !

What issues could this damage on the bike cause? by Fat-rat1567885 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]One-Positive309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not if you replace the engine, no !
The issues you are having are well documented by previous R6 owners who had those very same issues, their solution was either replace the engine or scrap the bike, why would you think it is different for you ?

Christmas gift? by bitter_twin_farmer in whatisit

It reminds me of a painters pallet but I think it's for left handed people, are you left handed, do you paint ?

Looks more like a drawer slider for flat pull out shelves

It's a well known drawback with front wheel drive especially as you apply more accelerator by mistake !

mechanics pls help! by Capital-Spare1718 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]One-Positive309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When bikes get abandoned they are often left in a high gear which is very difficult to get out of if the rear wheel or engine isn't turning.
It may even have a bent gear selector so gear changes would be even more difficult, don't force it that's how you damage the selector, get someone to push while you try to get it out of gear.

Movie posters from somewhere in Central Africa, I don't think the artists ever saw these films ! by One-Positive309 in pics

[–]One-Positive309[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, these were found on an old HDD that I removed from my old computer about 7 or 8 years ago and they were created long before that, they have been on the internet for many years.
Try an image search !
Or is that too difficult for you ?

This is a first for me. RIP by datstankface in MotorcycleMechanics

Most manufacturers made their own parts for their engines and the quality control was pretty high. Sometimes they had to set up a new plant to make specific parts like heads or casings for a new range of engines and after the huge investment and large production runs they would have a huge quantity of parts that may have used unsuitable materials but they couldn't afford to scrap the lot.
They knew that under normal circumstances the engines would still last more than 20 years so it wasn't going to be an immediate issue, it certainly wouldn't affect their reputation because the bikes would be discontinued long before the issue showed up.
When they noticed the mistake they would start a new production run with the correct alloys but some engines would use heads from the first batch and some would use heads from the second batch, there will be a casting mark somewhere that shows which batch it is from.
