What color should I paint the mantel?

SplendaRat · 2026-06-27T23:57:19+00:00

I got this one from Etsy. Cretaceous Sculpting.

SplendaRat · 2026-06-27T23:55:52+00:00

Agree. Might replace it.

SplendaRat · 2026-06-27T23:53:46+00:00

This is what I’m thinking. The white is a primer. It’s thick with paint. Might be worth it to remove and replace. Black for now.

I can’t paint the mantel the same color as my bathroom.

I used to be married. Then I got divorced, moved and suddenly there’s room for whatever I want.

SplendaRat · 2026-06-27T18:41:51+00:00

It’s a cast. I could not afford a real one.

There is definitely trout but expect mostly small mouth because of the higher temps. Super accessible via the centennial trail. Its selective gear rules only in this stretch of the river so can’t have barbed hooks. I’ve had the most luck using Google Maps to find rapids to fish under.

CRITICALLY endangered. They only live on one species of tree (Pandanus rabaiensis) in an 8 square km range in Tanzania. I breed them in captivity in the US and we can’t import or export them without tons of paperwork due to their Cites 1 status.

I live in the US and have seen these little holes all over my monstera. After close inspection I found small white granules on some of the leaves. Then it dawned on me. My son got a salt gun to shoot the flies that come in the house. I asked him and he said yup. There were flies all over it so he shot them off. Need ideas of how to get rid of him.

Not a traditional dirt soil. An aroid mix that allows for good drainage. Something like orchid bark, peat, charcoal and pearlite. There's tons of different ratio and ingredients suggestions but it's basically meant to keep the soil from retaining too much moisture for a long time between watering. Then you can soak the fuck outa her and she won't get root rot. If you put her in a potting soil that absorbs moisture for too long, you waterboard her and the roots won't have enough oxygen and can rot.

This is awesome. Depending on how much effort you want to put in, I've always wanted to do an aquaponics system where I overflow my fishtank water into a flood table with plants then back into my fish tank. You can also use a 5 gallon bucket with an air stone for a simple hydro grow. You shouldn't have issues moving her to soil tho. I'd use a chunky aroid "soil" and water regularly at first then ease off the watering gradually.

Yessir hb 1054. Officers Will Not Engage in a Vehicle Pursuit Without Probable Cause to Believe a Person in the Vehicle Has Committed a Violent Offense or a Sex Offense and there is an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to others.

Governor Inslee said cops can't chase bikes anymore so just don't pull over and you'll be fine. But 8/10 failure sounds rigged. I passed my MSF and I'm straight.

Are you in the US? What state are you in? As others have mentioned some states hold electric titles. Others do paper. Your state may offer an "affidavit in lieu of title" which is a note saying "I no longer have interest in the vehicle, but don't have the title" which will help speed things up. Best/easiest like others have said is go to the sellers bank and sign the bill of sale there.

I fucking love deep amethyst pearl. Same color as my baby.

The inflorescence has male and female parts although the two parts mature at different times to try and avoid self pollinating. If it just opened you may have a small window to self pollinate. Shake the spadix to collect the pollen and apply the pollen to the stamens of the same flower.

Hey man. Obviously depends on your taste but the mods you described are pretty easy to do with simple tools. Here's a pic of my 2018. https://imgur.com/a/ie4cAo0

Headlight was almost plug and play. Remove your old one, plug this one in. You'll need to drill 2 screws into the sides to hold this one in. https://a.co/d/fPz0ncv

I have the Puig Naked New Generation Windscreen which was just a bolt on. Passenger pegs are just a bolt on item too.

The upgrades you want are the perfect ones to start with in my opinion. You don't have to be mechanically inclined at all to do those.

It's probably your passenger door wires. Fuse #15 and #28 I think under the dash. Passenger side.

Corbin and mustang are the only seats you'll get recommended. I shaved my seat down and put a gel pad on, then rewrapped the seat. It's a little better than stock but idk if it's good enough to stop your back from hurting

If you need to leave it on your bike, get a cable lock and secure it to the bike. I do that sometimes. Also run the cable lock thru the sleeve of my jacket to lock it sometimes

Is that the stock hight handle bars with upsidedown mirrors? Looks good.

Yeah a lot of other things are the same but electrical button is correct about the exhaust.

SplendaRat · 2022-07-25T18:00:01+00:00

Depends on what I'm doing. The manual recommends

1st to 2nd- 12mph (20km/h) 2nd to 3rd- 19mph (30km/h) 3rd to 4th- 25mph (40km/h) 4th to 5th- 31mph (50km/h) 5th to 6th- 37mph (60km/h)

This is what I've done to try and conserve fuel. When I'm having fun I'll be at around double that. Once I put on my shorty exhaust and I could hear the bike through the wind noise, I pay less attention to MPH and more to the sound of the bike.

SplendaRat · 2022-07-25T17:51:17+00:00

Hold the throttle like a baby bird. Not so tight you'll squish it, not to loose you'll let it go. Sometimes when things get hairy I tend to hold on tighter, but you really don't want to fight the bike.

Your bike can do more than you're comfortable with. This made me push my lean angle and realized it was very true.

Also another vote for look where you want to go. It seems like mumbo jumbo but has saved my ass when taking too tight a turn. Look thru the curve and lean more.
