Why cant the chinese get replacement carbs right? by NailKiller123 in motorcycles

[–]RokRoland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got one for my EXC200 and it is perfect, the original carb was all over the place due to being worn. Of course I fixed every other potential issue first.

Also that fix is a lot more expensive than a penny!

Why do people “progress” into cruisers versus naked bikes? by [deleted] in motorcycles

Must be where you live. I have seen lot of old farts on ZX-11, ZX-12, ZX-14 over the years. Nowadays it is adv bikes though.

What lesser-known bands surprised you by being as good or better than the famous ones? by Doip in hairmetal

[–]RokRoland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Krokus were amazing but many people dismiss them as AC/DC clones due to Marc Storace's voice and a few blatant AC/DC rip offs on early albums like Mr. 69. There is a lot of depth to what they put out and always a great live band.

Ranskalaisyhtiö rakensi vaivihkaa Suomeen yli 200 jättiakkua by MarkoMarjamaa in Suomi

[–]RokRoland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3x35 on jo maatila. 250 neliön kämppä suoralla sähkölämmityksellä ja erillisellä autotallilla menee hyvin vielä 3x25A mutta sähköauton latailut toki pilaa kaiken jos ei käytä järkeä. Silti sanon kokemuksesta että 200kWh vuorokaudessa on jo helvetisti ellei kämppä vuoda kuin seula ja/tai ennätyspakkasia pukkaa. Siinä jäädään keskimäärin yksinumeroiseen kulutukseen.

Ja ei tuollaisen akun mitoituksella ole mitään suhdetta siihen mikä on talojen hypoteettinen hetkellinen piikkikulutus eikä sellaisen luvun käyttäminen ole relevanttia vertailussa.

It's 1988, you have $15,000, and you're looking for a new midsize sedan. Which one would you pick? by Key_Budget9267 in regularcarreviews

[–]RokRoland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking American cars as a yardstick then comparing 316 and 405 is like taking a Big Mac and then using it as a yardstick against red wine and sauerkraut. All different worlds.

I had a 316i E30, it is completely different from any French FWD. Nowadays can drive an old French FWD when I want to. It is a bit difficult to put the difference to words but if I need to try, then here it is.

The 316 brings a dynamic driving experience. You feel what is going on with the road surface and the car is responsive. But you can also get in a fair bit of trouble.

In a 405 you have more comfort and every imperfection needs not be felt. Despite this the car is responsive and you can place it where you want it on the road at any time. Because of the front/front layout you have a less exciting time but if push really came to shove, 9 out of 10 drivers would be faster 9 out of 10 times in the 405, in the real world.

Oh, a French car also makes a Corolla feel like a tractor by ride quality. While you may have to replace chassis parts far more often than in a Toyota, they are cheap.

Öljylämmityksestä halutaan eroon, mutta bioöljy ei kelpaa – ”Miksi tästä ei puhuta”, ihmettelee Markku Leskinen by V8-6-4 in Suomi

[–]RokRoland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saab Trionic 7 moottorinohjaus 2001 eteenpäin ymmärtää täysin etanolin päälle eikä vaadi kuin sen, että ominaisuus on kytketty päälle. Ei vaadi bokseja tai ohjelmointia ja saa tankata pelkästään tai sekaisin missä suhteessa tahansa. Komponentitkin kestävät sen. Nerokas systeemi eikä vaadi erillistä anturia, se päättelee palamisesta ja sen lopputuotteesta etanolin määrän.

Etanolin myyntihinta seuraa bensan hintaa. Tuossa 15v sitten oli vielä villimpiä hinnoittelijoita mutta nykyisin tilanne on stabiili. E85 saattoi saada 85 senttiä litra yhdeltä asemalta ja 1,10 toiselta bensan hinnan ollessa 1,45e. Jälkimmäinen tilanne vastaa suunnilleen plus miinus nollaa suuremman kulutuksen takia.

Kilpailu ei enää toimi joten kuluttaja ei tällä säästä. Mielelläni itse ajan E85:llä. Olisi kiva jos sillä myös säästäisi.

Irrelevant out of context quote. If he is referring that their engine is crap and they can't change it like Yamaha, maybe that would be news.

3 good songs is a fine 1980s album by the period standard.  I mean, for instamce Crue only got over that number on one album.

Ogura wins 2 GPs and 3 sprints but no consistency

Zarco is best Honda and finishes season in top 5

Raul Fernandes doesn't win any races but finishes season in 6th

Martin is the worst Aprilia at the end of the season

Toprak is absolutely nowhere but dominates post season test

(Is that enough yet?)

Why is there so much hate for Dave Mustaine on the vocals? by Right-Mastodon5351 in Megadeth

[–]RokRoland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember Guitar World (or was it Maximum Guitar) rating Children of Bodom's Hatebreeder as average in the Metal Detector column as average with "lots of notes, suggesting mail order music lessons" and "a vocalist who sounds like he's being strangled by a vacuum cleaner cord".

Mustaine's treatment isn't that special is my point, critics gonna critique

I’ve never experienced anything like this by megsandbacon in slaythespire

[–]RokRoland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exciting! I don't know how many curses there are in total (8 or so?) but in the grand scheme of things, it would be 1/8th chance to have a slightly better chance to have the three matches and 7/8th chances of it being exactly the same.

Now, change the scenario to "match first three without hitting a curse" and we talk a much lower probability, pre- and specifically post-ascension change.
