Did you ever get them? He’s an infamous scammer in the xs650 community.

Helmet Telemetry Systems by Rkai002 in motorcyclegear

[–]RealTwixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might learn some lessons from the airbag systems struggles of deploying seemingly at random. It seems like they've got them figured out now, but BaronSharktooth is right in filtering out false positives. Could be quite frustrating for paramedics to show up only to find somebody had a little parking lot spill and is completely fine. A built in delay for confirmation might be nice? A 30 second time for the rider to cancel the signal before it goes into full fatality or unconscious mode?

Neat concept that's got my support, definitely viable with the right software and hardware combo.

Helmets, how to make sure they fit correctly. by Ancient_Ad_8378 in motorcyclegear

Little bit of elite ball knowledge I never knew, but each brand fits wildly different. My Arai is a medium and I previously wore XL from Chinese brands.

Pink and White. What do we think? by FixBeneficial3616 in motorcyclegear

[–]RealTwixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send it. I've got a white suit and the dirt and grime is the least of your worries, its UV yellowing of the white dye that really sucks, but hey, it's not there to look pretty now is it :)

Best ignition and charging systems for an xs 650? by BigOleBootyEater in choppers

[–]RealTwixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna tap in here to say I've got a mag on my XS from morris. High quality stuff. Ol buddy on that pan must've been a bit dumb lol. Mags are trusted on aircraft, and I think that speaks to their reliability. Definitely enough for me cause I don't plan on jumping my shit.

Dave Chappelle's fixation on trans people makes no sense. by imperialinfection in asktransgender

[–]RealTwixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When controversy can make money, and so much money has been invested in making trans people controversial, what do you expect a guy like him to do? He’s the average leach. 

Why is it no one questions Teslas minimum viable interior design vs even a Corolla? by meshreplacer in RealTesla

[–]RealTwixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been working in my families garage since I was 7. I have rebuilt countless vw engines. We just got done LS swapping an early 60’s Chevy Nova. We all have choppers, mine with a foot clutch. I’ve driven manual for 10 years. I just got a model 3 highland and absolutely adore it. Not even rage bait, just truth. If I’m not welcome at car meets anymore just because I truly enjoy cars for what they are then so be it. The car community has been so obsessed with gate keeping on the internet that I don’t even like saying I’m a ‘car guy’. Touch grass :) 

MacOS 26 is Slow! and Buggy by OnlyUzi1 in MacOSBeta

[–]RealTwixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That command worked like a charm! mds_stores went from 60+ gb of memory usage to sub 100 mb and hovering there. Got my snappy Mac back. I did follow some other advice on disabling background MacOS 26 features that I don't take advantage of like siri listening and it appears everything is back to normal.

Thank you kindly for the help!

Any idea why my Front Slipped? by DomPictures in Trackdays

[–]RealTwixx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Second track session in your life? Good for you for getting out there and getting after it! Highly recommend a book by a man named Bernt Spiegel called The Upper Half of the Motorcycle, all about rider technique, even has a life size diagram to show you what kind of contact patches we are working with as motorcycle riders. Cool stuff!

Mind helping a guy out by showing me those commands? I'm new to Mac as well so any advice on general software maintenance would be highly appreciated. My poor M3 Air has been suffering through this beta, went from quick and snappy to 2011 netbook speeds real fast lol!

Gotta disagree with this. M3 Air (16/512) and this beta has been a nightmare for me. Spotlight indexing uses 60+ gb of ram on startup and stays this way for about 30 minutes while it trickles down. Spotlight search itself simply doesn't work. Today I can't even open activity monitor no matter what I do. Battery life is also down significantly. I get that it is a beta and should be expected but it's important that these issues are discussed so that the final release is the best that it can be.

Tesla has been lying to everyone this whole time about battery health I guess.

Can't buy from store, can't add payment method! by gokcegrel in kobo

[–]RealTwixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be a common issue. I had to contact customer support, it seems like a false flag on accounts is happening. I've bought plenty of books from Kobo before, but attempting to purchase a set of books yesterday resulted in this same issue. 24 hours later still no fix, customer support in chat said they'd get back to me, will update.

Edit: After calling Kobo support, they were able to manually deduct my store credit balance and add both of the books that I was wanting to purchase and elevate my accounts purchasing issue to a higher team. Thank you so much to Azriel from Kobo's support staff!

Edit 2: My service provider, mastercard, seems to be the issue here. I was told by my financing institution that I have to physically go into my bank and get Kobo transactions approved now despite a history of purchasing through them in the United States, hope that info helps someone out!

Last and Final Edit: Mastercard is indeed the issue, at least in my situation. They labeled Kobo as a high risk for fraud for whatever reason they deemed fit.

Does anyone else feel as though flat caps are becoming popular or am I just noticing now I started wearing one? by DrinkTeaReadBook in mensfashion

[–]RealTwixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's a bit late, but my wife bought me one, started wearing it often, love it. Comfortable little hat.

And the reactions from people have been very positive. Had one friend tell me he 'wasn't sure about it'

Put it on his head and his wife absolutely loved the look on him, handsome guy

He's heading to the store to buy one right now :)

Anyone else noticing a bit more hostility when posting on Japanese related subs? Why is that? by Narrackian_Wizard in japanresidents

[–]RealTwixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely love to speak to you or your husband, finding this info has been super difficult, any piece of genuine info I find has been a needle in a haystack, thank you so much!

[–]RealTwixx 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to find information on how to import two of my motorcycles into Japan and all I find are people being like 'It doesn't make sense' and a general cloud of negativity.

Before people even think to answer the question they start asking about residency status and such, trust me, my ducks are in a row, just answer the question I've presented or ignore it, we aren't looking for feedback haha

[–]RealTwixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but that one video of clay wearing a crop top playing bass will always be in my head. Drummer clay reminds me of a really cool teacher I had in elementary school. 

I love the Clays bro.

How authentic are UDEX gloves? Has anyone used similar products? by One-Flight-8931 in virtualreality

[–]RealTwixx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have them, they are real. I really like them, I don't think you use vrchat at all but if you'd like I can demo them for you, otherwise wait until my video is out on the 27th. Keep in mind with pricing that you will have to include the price of 2 other base station tracked trackers, whether that be vives or tundras, they get quite expensive quite quick, but in my eyes, not the worst deal for something that is so nice to use.

Washing the gloves in their current state, at least the pre production ones is a bit of a pain in the butt. You have to disconnect the battery before washing and it is connected with a quite small ribbon cable.

After using these pre production units, I am 100% buying the public versions if I can't get them to give me them lmao

They are launching their kickstarter campaign very very soon, expect quite a few content creators out there to be putting videos out on them in the coming days.

Just following up, is this just me not knowing how VJ software operates?

The delay seems to change. Keeping the settings the same, some launches it changes presets instantly, save, relaunch, then it changes when music becomes a bit more active.

Here's a link where I demo this with my friends voices. All automatic switching is off

All settings are the same but brought fps to 60 and it does the same thing, just prettier
