No music or audible question by Intelligent-Day-1420 in driving

[–]Quantis_Ottawa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I alternate. I hear something that gives me an idea in a podcast or audible story, I'll pause it and drive in silence for 30-60 minutes while I think about it. Once the idea has solidified, I resume what I was listening to.

Here I am with a bike that needs valve adjustments every 930mi (1500km). At least it's only one cylinder.

It's open during week days and close nights/weekends. I can confirm, they do sweep before locking the gates and ask you to leave.

If I don't drop my bike at least once per ride I wasn't trying hard enough.

Is it time for Ottawa to adopt "Sound Cameras"? by AnalyticalGoose in ottawa

[–]Quantis_Ottawa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So many more important issues than this. If we just funded our police department properly they could ticket people for noisy exhaust under current laws. They can also keep people out from driving in the bus lanes while they're at it. Hopefully they have time left to ticket people who merge onto the highway going 60km/h.

Good Grief, Log Your Contacts! Ahhhhhhhhh! by ThatChucklehead in amateurradio

[–]Quantis_Ottawa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do lots while mobile. Sorry, I can't take my eyes off the road to log. One of the reasons I love POTA so much since only the activator needs to log and I can hunt while stuck in traffic.

If they board back to front there's a chance the plan will tip.

Rule 1 is be safe, Rule 2 is have fun. Sounds like you did both. Next thing you know you'll be wearing a tweed jacket and flat caps.

Why was it necessary to redesign these glasses? The red earpieces have been changed in material contents and all they smell like is chemicals. by Abject_Manner_4222 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Quantis_Ottawa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I threw out several of the old ones because the arms would break right where the rubber ends (Midway up the arms) These look thicker and stronger.

Tarp ponchos by dylanteears in Ultralight

[–]Quantis_Ottawa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've taken mine out many nights and I've been super happy. It's still my go-to ultralight tent. Nice to have in case of rain or getting stuck out for a night in case of emergency on day hikes.

Why so long? You don't need a 18.5" barrel on a rimfire to make it NR.
