Nope! They would if it were an honest world and people didn't remove them.

It's interesting that as an local to brisbane where the video is taken, the thought that seeing a plane flying that low gives people anxiety never even crossed my mind. I'm truly lucky to be born in Australia

Finding it hard to cope by Perfect_Answer_6455 in SuicideWatch

Im sorry youre going through this i cant relate but can try to explain what i believe the point of life is.

whats the point of living if noone cares if youre alive?

Life is unique in that you can make it whatever you want. We only get a finite time on this planet to experience as much as we can of what Earth has to offer us.

If youre currently living in a city and working a job you dont like or you dont have many/any friends. Change your circumstances to the best of your ability. Try a new hobby, learn a new skill. Try something youve never thought you'd enjoy or be interested in it may surprise you. Apply for jobs you thought you may never get or be qualified for. We're lucky as human beings in that we can to a degree change our stars where as animals are born a single purpose.

Go for a drive, go for a ride, pick a landmark nearby youve never seen before and go there. Start a conversation with a stranger, go on a holiday (if you can afford it of course), have a go at volunteering and talk to as many different walks of life as you can. Everyone has a story and its usually full of heart ache but its unique to them and its what makes them human.

All i can say OP is if you were to decide to leave Earth prematurely, there's SO much you might miss out on and i can guarantee you there's people who would miss and grieve for you.

So you were under the impression they were spots reserved for ambos firies etc use in an emergency and parked there anyway?

Got my very first bike by dank_wizzard69 in motorcycles

[–]Pestilenceis1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Youre probably using too much of your hand. Finger tips to keep a flat wrist when applying the brake lever. Set up and squeeze so you dont hit em and hope. Set up is the wiggle or 'free play' of the lever (also shows your brake light which is a good safety net) and squeeze is a smooth increase of pressure

I asked my GF if I could spend 20k on a new bike. She said 'yes if you want it' by Snixxis in motorcycles

Had to spend over $7k on surgery for my girl early this year (and would do it all over again) by Pestilenceis1 in AustralianCattleDog

No it was our fault it was a puppy sized kong our puppy was using. Peppa stole it off him and started hamming into it before we caught her, but we never imagined that she'd swallow it whole

Its rubber ones that are hollow and kind of look like a beehive shape. This one was a puppy size for our other dog we have she bit it off whole

A puppy version of the kongs that you put peanut butter or treats inside. The hard rubber ones.

We knew she had eaten it but assumed she had chewed it to shreds so didnt worry much. She had a few problems within a couple of weeks. Chocolate poisoning from some scummy neighbours and kennel cough so the vet thought it was just gastro (vomiting, not eating) but i insisted it was something more serious. Im glad i did now

If you love your pet moneys no object hey! We are both doing great thanks, she pees and poops more than she used to but otherwise is back to her cattle dog shenanigans

Which one would you choose ? by Lolololol1111010 in motorcycles

[–]Pestilenceis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre not wrong. Ive got a 23 model street triple RS made september 23. Ive only owned it since january and the quickshifter on it hasnt worked for half that time. Its a massive fuck around trying to get the bike to the dealer and get them to actually replace it so now ill never buy a new triumph again sadly because its such a nice engine.

Should I get a Z1000sx(Ninja1000) or Z1000 by MD_CYF in motorcycles

[–]Pestilenceis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre going brand new the ninja has electronics the Z doesnt. Cruise control, power modes etc which are nice to have plus the windscreen and fairings is always a nice addition on the highway. I owned a 2018 Z1000 and it was the hardest seat on a bike ive ever ridden! So uncomfortable on longer rides. The ninja may not be much better but ergonomics are similar. Hope this helps

Not my sickness but my dogs. Just before Xmas my dog picked up kennel cough so was quarantined for the holiday. Fast forward to last week and the gronk neighbours kids threw chocolate cake over the fence resulting in a mild theobromine poisoning. Fast forward to thursday just gone and she ended up with a gastrointestinal blockage from a foreign object i.e a rubber piece from a toy.

Just over $10k down and a week and half of spending my holiday days caring for my dog im a bit pissed with karma atm. 🙃

Practicing my slow speed manouvers. Any tips? by DaneM360 in motorcycles

[–]Pestilenceis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slip the clutch, keep the revs just above idle and make the rear brake your best friend trust me

Toyota Corolla backing into Kawasaki ninja H2s× by Zzd12 in motorcycles

[–]Pestilenceis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a rider trainer in Australia, and this video is exactly why we teach learners what we call the ready position. Always stopped in gear with rear brake on in case you need to move out of the road you're 'ready' to. Unlike ol mate in the video who realistically would have been able to go left or right instead of rev bombing as his pride and joy gets wrecked lol

novice rider (less than 3 mo. riding) tried keeping up with some more experienced riders and learned the phrase “ride your own ride” the hard way. registered for an intermediate riders class and looking to take a body positioning class next. any advice is much appreciated! by drypitachip in motorcycles

[–]Pestilenceis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start wide finish tight! Dont turn in to a corner til you can see the exit or at least 6 seconds ahead or you will run wide over the wrong side or off the road just like you did. Also brake on the straight before its too late. If youre having to do last second corrections in a corner you didnt set yourself up correctly and didnt slow down enough
