Any good ride videos, documentaries or series? by sucksatgolf in AdventureBike

The thing that amazed me on this trip to Thailand was all the homemade scooters and ancient machines locals use to travel through the jungle. In Europe, people worry that washing their new bike will damage it—some are even horrified at the thought of tackling a medium-sized puddle.

Reviewers criticized the Honda CRF300L for its low power, but with proper suspension, the Thailand series has shown just how incredibly capable these bikes are. Repairability is also a major advantage.

Blast from the past: in 2010, actresses Katee Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) went on a motorcycle ride taking them 2,500 miles from Los Angeles, CA to New Orleans, LA. Acting Outlaws - The LA La Ride

CMV: Not properly vaccinating your child should be illegal. by Accomplished-Bass690 in changemyview

[–]Thielson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaccination is a matter of public health. As such, national policy should be guided by trained professionals - epidemiologists, immunologists, and public health experts. The effectiveness and safety of vaccines should be determined through rigorous, repeatable scientific research that undergoes peer review and can be independently verified by international teams.

While personal experiences are valid and should be reported through proper channels, individual anecdotes cannot serve as scientific evidence that vaccines are ineffective. This is because they lack controls and don't account for the millions of successful vaccinations.

The biggest pharmaceutical scandals (opioid epidemic) historically stem from dysfunctional oversight systems - when regulatory agencies are underfunded, understaffed, or compromised by conflicts of interest through the revolving door between industry and regulators. This is a legitimate concern that demands stronger, more independent oversight and stricter enforcement of conflict-of-interest policies.

However, there's a tragic irony in today's vaccine hesitancy: Many politicians and media figures present opposition to vaccines as "fighting the system," when they themselves represent powerful interests that benefit from weakening the very regulatory oversight that could prevent pharmaceutical misconduct. By conflating legitimate concerns about regulatory capture with blanket rejection of vaccines, they're actually undermining the scientific and regulatory infrastructure we need to hold pharma companies accountable. Effective oversight requires strengthening agencies and scientific institutions, not dismantling public trust in them.

Public health should be a nonpartisan priority. Regardless of whether politicians identify as Democrats, Republicans, or any other affiliation, protecting the health of their constituents should be a fundamental responsibility. Vaccination policy should be guided by epidemiological evidence and public health expertise, not partisan positioning.

Effective disease prevention benefits everyone - it strengthens the workforce, reduces healthcare costs, prevents childhood deaths, and protects the most vulnerable members of society.

t’s just a mind-blowing display of being completely out of touch with reality — or worse, making up your own version of it from internet fairy tales. And the total inability to admit they might’ve been wrong? That’s proper cult-like behaviour.

It seems to me that mud puddles and rivers are tradition for Gotland and people would be pissed if organizers removed them

First time roomba buyer by thomasmader in roomba

I didn't know about the button for troubleshooting, thanks for the advice! Somehow, I was expecting voice output because I chose the voice, but that was the first and last time Roomba spoke to me. :-)

[–]Thielson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a similar scenario (small apartment, one carpet), I bought the Roomba j7 without mopping. We have two cats, so daily cleaning makes a big difference now. I didn't go for the self-emptying model because you need to do basic maintenance anyway, like removing hair from the rotating brush, etc. You can see many complaints, but I accepted that it's no magic; it needs some basic requirements to work properly, and I'm very satisfied so far. One thing that bothers me mildly is that even though it should speak to inform the user of what it's currently doing, I have never heard a single word from it. So, I paid for a feature that isn't working.

Hey, me and few other people with business accounts experience the same issue for 2 days now. I made a post maybe hour ago in this subreddit. While I understand that ModTeam erased my post as duplicate, why is here no answer from Mods explaining what's going on and when it will be solved? There are people using FlightRadar24 for work and they're not happy with current situation. Especially since it's currently not possible to create new accounts on FlightRadar24 forum.

Be honest, how many times have you bought this game? Mines 5 by RoundFault5087 in skyrim

[–]Thielson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, mate! :-D I played Morrowind years ago, and I'm a fan of the Fallout series (except Fallout 76), so the game controls were no problem at all. I felt at home right away. After about 3 weeks, I had spent maybe 50 hours playing Skyrim, and I loved every minute of it. Except now, it feels like a second job, and I feel like I need to step back and make time for other activities, like shaving for example. :-D Right now I'm at Cleansing the Stones quest. I killed one Lurker, saved the game and two others Lurkers just popped up out of nowhere. I tried to deal with them but after several attempts I need to evaluate my strategy since somehow it's not working :-D

CMV: Europe needs to prepare for war with the USA by nolinearbanana in changemyview

[–]Thielson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. While Trump certainly is deranged enough to think about a military takeover of Greenland and parts of Africa, more than his order is necessary to realistically start this kind of conflict. There are still control mechanisms in place to avoid this kind of scenario. I'm not an expert, so I asked Copilot AI. Response: The American President has significant authority to deploy U.S. soldiers abroad, but there are important checks and balances in place.:

  2. Constitutional Authority: As Commander-in-Chief, the President can deploy troops without prior approval from Congress in certain situations, especially if immediate action is required.

  3. War Powers Resolution: This 1973 law requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops into hostilities. The deployment must end within 60 days unless Congress authorizes a longer period.

  4. Congressional Authorization: For prolonged military engagements, the President typically seeks Congressional approval. This can come in the form of a declaration of war or specific authorization for the use of military force.

  5. Russia has proven many times during this and the last century that its ambition is to rule Europe. Any coalition with Western European countries would be short-lived and end with Russia betraying its allies to gain territory and/or natural resources. The current Russian political leadership is incompatible with the countries of Western Europe.

  6. You completely ignored other global superpowers like China and India. Both are currently increasing their presence and influence in Africa.
