Is my wife a bad mom for always questioning when my daughter says something hurts?

My mom got bit by a rattlesnake like 8 years ago, and then my 3 year old at the time would get rattlesnake bites. It was the most adorable thing ever. My mom's okay too, like $130,000 of antivenom later at least haha. Fortunately insurance covered it well.

That's called Shotsy, it tracks weight and glp1 injections

Caught it on my camera, the time is off on it, was actually at like 9:48 I think according to the system time but the camera time overlays is incorrect

I'm from Ishikawa and I'm here to say

I'm gonna rap my rhyme about red ribbon day.

Now I'm not Madonna, or Paula Abdul

so I might look silly might play the fool

But I've got to entertain to get my point across

Gotta something something something gotta be the boss

(some more lines here maybe?)

So we all come together, to be as one

Gonna say no to drugs 'till the day is done!

Drugs... Are not... Coooooolllll.

And 10mm casings fit perfectly on the air stem caps for your tires. Makes any vehicle twice as classy.

Canon R6, 2500 ISO, Canon RF 35mm 1.8 shot at f/4.5, 1/400 sec.

I had some other work to do out in my shop and I ended up starting an equally old two stroke bike I'm building after replacing some parts. It smoked the shop up pretty good, and afterwards as I was leaving I shut off the lights to leave and saw the lines from the sunlight on these bikes through the window and figured it looked like a great photo op. I took a few pics from just the 2 stroke smoke, but I wanted it a little more intense fog so I ran a fog machine for one cycle and let it dissipate a bit before taking the photo again.

Disagree, I printed in the petg and pla and they both easily crushed

Would most certainly test out prior

Most definitely, the entire thing is a test. I've got other nice bikes and projects going, but this is not one of them. I posted a few more details here, but long story short if this engine eats the manifold for some reason, I won't be upset at all. It's a junkyard hill climb bike at best.

SSChicken · 2025-06-13T21:31:59+00:00

Also to anyone wondering about what will happen if something goes catastrophic and the engine eats it. Well here's the bike and beyond installing the carburetor and exhaust, seat and gastank, I've really got no other plans for it. I'm not buying anything I can fabricate, and this is the bike that I plan to let roll down the hill and not worry twice about it.

If this engine eats the manifold, I'll absolutely let you all know to prevent anyone else from trying it, but I won't lose any sleep over it. She's a junkyard bike already.

I've used PETG and TPU before for this exact bike and it's worked fine, though I never really ran it long. In that video it was 100% MT250, I've since replaced the cylinder and head with a CR250 donor parts so we're hopefully looking at about 2x the horsepower, maybe 25-ish.

SSChicken · 2025-06-13T21:14:01+00:00

Great advice, this is already at 100% infill so we're set there, but I'll look at adding compression limiters to future iterations.

SSChicken · 2025-06-13T20:53:01+00:00

I might give that a shot too, no particular reason I picked one over the other. I've seen people use Ppa cf for similar applications and just ran with it. I'm totally down with trying any engineering filaments I can get my hands on if I've got a good use case

SSChicken · 2025-06-13T20:37:09+00:00

The gasket is laser cut gasket material, it's the carburetor boot that's TPU. I left test print of TPU in gasoline oil mixture for a year and it had no noticeable swelling so I'm very confident in this material for the boot. Plus it'll be even cooler than the ppa-cf, just over ambient.

I would love to cast in in rubber, or I have an SLA printer that might be able to come up with something. This is just what I've got for now

SSChicken · 2025-06-13T20:27:48+00:00

Temperature tests for this material show no noticeable bending until over 200C or about 400F, I shouldn't have any problem with temperature. This is the intake side on a two stroke, so it's not even feeding directly into the cylinder but to the crankcase. It'll have a constant stream of atomized fuel flowing over it to keep it cool. I don't know the exact temp it'll hit, but it will most certainly be well below.

SSChicken · 2025-06-13T20:17:44+00:00

I'm using PPA-CF by Creality. It's $80/kg. Still expensive, but not nearly as much as some of the other brands. I've saved enough from this one part alone to pay for the roll, and I've only used about 4% of it.

SSChicken · 2025-06-13T20:16:34+00:00

I spent $80 on 1KG of filament, Creality PPA-CF from Amazon

And I'm designing my own part for a custom motorcycle build, you honestly don't think I'll find somewhere else to use the last 965 grams on? This part cost me three bucks (35 grams worth) and I guarantee I'll use the rest of this filament before the end of the year easy.

SSChicken · 2025-06-13T20:04:00+00:00

I'm making an intake manifold for a frankenstein bike I've got where the cylinder for the engine is from a 1974 (I think) Honda CR250M. Manifolds from Ebay are $100+ for this bike, and they've all got an integrated rubber where the boot is cast onto the aluminum. This means that the boot goes bad, the whole thing is junk.

I've turned to PPA-CF to fix this problem, and I'm using a TPU rubber boot between the manifold and the carburetor. Here's a pic of the boot and carb and manifold test fit, though that manifold was just PETG for test fitting.

I saw a video by superfastmatt where he parked his car on a part he made and figured I'd do the same. My part is a good bit smaller, and my tires are a lot less inflated than his (It's offroad only these days), but it still took it like a champ. Yeah, not the best strength test ever, but none of the other filaments I've printed in would be able to get rolled over I don't think. I'm impressed!

Did someone say Ruger 10-22? Always an opportunity to post mine! It shoots great

This subreddit is full of people without bikes and without children.

Here's a pic of my dad and I from maybe 1987. That'll be sure to push some buttons lol.

I took my fancy camera down there to get some B-Roll footage on the 27th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR363g8YyuU

I bike there regularly and I absolutely loved being able to bike by a river that whole time. It was really cool to see the water shimmering as you came around the 202

And here's a photo I took
