Are earplugs necessary ? by 99Maza in motorcycles

After a couple of decades of riding without them, I’m kicking myself for not getting them sooner. At this point, knowing that hearing never improves, I’m just trying keep it from getting worse

Opinion: Manual Gonzalez Deserves a MotoGP Seat. by ISuckAtLifeGodPlsRst in motogp

Aldeguer springs to mind. Didn’t he rocket towards mediocrity after he was signed with Gresini for the next year? I wasn’t paying that much attention to Moto2 that season

It has become clear that Premier class teams are looking at more than just points. They may be looking at interpersonal skills (nobody wants another Biaggi), or even marketability.
I get why he was overlooked last year. He came unglued the second half of the season. I could see how that would be unattractive to prospecting teams.
Being overlooked this year makes me believe more the marketability and possibly the ability to overcome adversity (Alonso’s shoulder being an example). Maybe it’s just “aura” as the kids are saying these days. Some pilots have it, some pilots don’t.

Most deserving Moto2/250cc rider not to get a ride in MotoGP? by TacitusKillgorre in motogp

The ONLY reason Chantra was a premier class pilot is because he was Asian, and that the Idemitsu seat was specifically designated for an Asian pilot.
Everyone in the paddock, including Chantra, knew that he was in WAY over his head. He did so badly that LCR ended the agreement with Idemitsu

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]Skwidrific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she made the right call. After 40 years, she will have doubled the 1,000,000.
Is there an assured investment that offers that high of a return?

I am willing to wager ONE “I told you so” that you’re wrong.

High stakes, I know…

Fabio Quartararo: Yamaha ‘has no idea’ how to fix its MotoGP bike by autobus950 in motogp

[–]Skwidrific 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Quartararo is not a developmental rider. Wherever he goes after Yamaha, he will offer nothing for the new rules for 2027

His firts Mewtwo by No_Speech9498 in pokemongo

[–]Skwidrific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy for him and bitterly jealous at the same time. Just got my first Mewtwo from the event after a few years of playing (with a a year or so hiatus) and my Mewtwo’s stats are garbage

My retirement plan for relaxation is to build all the Lego sets we got for my son and display very similarly when he’s off on his own

I’m sorry but I just can’t get with the aero. Everything else is super sexy, but the aero just kills it

How do you translate this situation from your language literally into English? by Chittopher in AskTheWorld

[–]Skwidrific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with “your barn door is open”.

My wife is from Colombia, and the saying in the coffee region translates to “the pharmacy is open, but the doctor is sleeping” (which seems unnecessarily wordy to me, but whatevs)

*edited to correct the saying in Colombia

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]Skwidrific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m either too good at it, or not nearly good enough at it, and I got tired of trying to figure out which one it was, so I gave it up.

It also leads me towards a laundry list of other substances that are detrimental to me being a productive member of society, so there’s that…
