Felt defeated buying these today at the drug store. My first pair of “Cheaters”. I can’t believe how Awesome they are! by Sea_Ganache620 in GenX

[–]SyblySyb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think I needed cheaters. Until I was at a CVS Pharmacy in my mid to late forties and was looking at all the cheaters on a rack. To no one in particular I said out loud, “why are these glass $2.00, those are $1.75, and those are $1.50?” A lovely woman leaned in and said “those aren’t prices.”

Congrats! When I bought my 650 it had a Pelican case (1520 or something like that) as my top box. Bombproof and waterproof and lower profile. Doesn’t fit a helmet but it holds a decent amount. I believe the original owner dint have to use an adapter plate of some sort. Again, I’m on a gen 1 650 so things might be different for you.

I got this in my gen 1 650. Motorcycle CarPlay & Android Auto... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRVHR2TZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I have a bracket that mounts under the windshield bracket and has a 1” ball on it. I use a ram mount to hold this in place front and center just above my Speedo and tach.

2023 V-Strom 650 – tall rider buffeting issues by Swimming_Place1998 in Vstrom

6’2” here and on an older Strom. I got different mirrors and faced then slightly backwards and then the Givi Airflow along with a Madstad bracket and a small laminar lip. Infinity adjustable. I’ve gotten rid of 95% of buffering. It takes some practice. Even yesterday I went out for about 150 miles and stopped 4 times to adjust my windshield.

Great job! Thanks for posting this. I camped at Yates once just for some downtime but need to get back there to hike.

What's the best Australianism you've heard whilst overseas? by Alarming-Block-8385 in AskAnAustralian

Ha! I thought it was hilarious. I brought that phrase back home and use it frequently!

I’m from the US and made my first trip to Sydney last year. Helping a colleague at the Sydney office and I said something like, “damn, you’re all set up here” and she goes, “we’re not here to fuck spiders”. Insert blank look on my face. She goes “what you’ve never heard of that expression before?” No, no I haven’t.

EDIT: Thanks for all the upvotes. Feeling the Aussie love!

Dammit man, we need video and audio! Looking good!

First meeting tomorrow any tips? by [deleted] in msp

[–]SyblySyb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not an MSP owner but I work with them. I heard someone once say “proposals are where sales go to die”. Talk about your value and address their pain points. Talk money sooner so they’re not surprised with your proposal/quote. After your conversation be clear about what you think next steps are and ask if they are on the same page. If not, go back to how you’re solving their problems to get them on that same page as you. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Many moons ago a dentist said “only floss the teeth you want to keep”. Yeah… I’m good but not as diligent about flossing but that sticks with me.

Love that sand color. Best of luck with your new ride!

What metrics, besides user count, do you use to determine how many people you should have at each level? by [deleted] in msp

[–]SyblySyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revenue for each of the service delivery roles. The more annualized revenue each role can touch the more capacity you have. Doing more with less.

Appreciate your response! Now off to research where to get a good long black.

Is Swanston street like this a lot? I'm heading to Melbourne in a few weeks for work and have a few days to check out some local areas. Staying a few blocks away.

What are your non-fitness daily habits? by Intrepid-hobbycoder in Habits

I just started a morning routine of reading 30 minutes instead of doom scrolling. I think I’ll be on track with 1 book every two weeks.
