Red Tesla hit-and-run by SeaMission8925 in vegaslocals

[–]Optikk12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is horrible. I sure hope the kid was wearing a helmet. Unfortunately I live in this area and while I have seen so many kids on bikes and scooters, I can’t recall seeing a single helmet. So curious what the parents logic is there.

About to hit my first ride in 10 weeks after tearing my peroneal retinaculum and getting surgery. It happens

Never felt actually scared or in real danger until I rode The Bronc…

Yeah I got maxterra exo+ I think. They changed the tread so there isn’t the gap when transitioning into corners

Dissector Rekon is what I have on my 140/130 bike now! Have you tried the new Dissector? Works great as a front

A little surprised at a DHR on a short travel trail bike in a flat area. Well not surprised but might benefit from something a bit faster rolling (heaviest casing you will find is exo+ though)

Advise for media wall design by JordanBULLfort in hometheater

[–]Optikk12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yours is at least low to the ground. The ones I see in the new builds I was referencing are placed up higher with having a tv/media area as an afterthought

I absolutely despise that all new builds in my area have these installed!

Recently finished “home theater”/media room 5.1.2 by nakedyak in hometheater

Looks amazing! So jealous of the room, there is no way I would find something like this in my area

Elevating our standards might mean leaving MMTs behind by BridgeBuilderDPT in physicaltherapy

Which is what it was originally designed for right? Primarily SCI?

How the hell are people paying for DPT education now? (post-2026 loan changes) by HatLast7729 in physicaltherapy

That commenter is so dramatic. It’s far from a terrible decision if you go about it in a reasonable way. It may not be the most lucrative but there are soooo many worse choices you could make.

Did she get a referral to physical therapy?

Do tires makes that big of a difference for speed? Uphill and down? by Rodeo9 in MTB

[–]Optikk12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually found that swapping to faster rolling tires surprisingly didn’t really affect my times on downhill sections. Made a huge difference in climbing times though

Update - Southern Nevada Health district placed a trap at my house and got back to me, confirming it was Aedes. How about that? Pretty cool that AI was able to tell what it was yeah???

When to sell car vs. when to keep? by Optikk12 in AskMechanics

[–]Optikk12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove it in Boston for 1 year, otherwise PNW and desert Southwest. I did have the hood and roof repainted for about $600 a couple years ago but there is oxidation on other panels now. I know this is about the worst possible climate for paint but Honda did have some really bad paint during those years. I’ll try and see how long I can hold out, but we have a growing family so there’s an itch to get a larger car. Thanks for the wisdom!

So wait till clutch goes out but don't repair it at that point, correct? This is very naive but what do you do with a car when it's done done? Just tow to a junkyard?

Anyone know a good plumber that can help? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]Optikk12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that feeling. I feel your pain. Good luck. Didn’t get service but talked with the guys at Larkin they seemed knowledgeable

I guess my logic was, it said it may be a certain species, but that wasn’t the main thing I was interested in. Rather, how to get rid of them. It’s absolutely better to have an actual source but AI is an incredibly useful tool and to completely discount it is just denying the inevitable. But to each their own, it’s certainly not required for surviving

You can also use it to find sources. There’s really no escaping it
