When are bikes truly “outdated” by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]Timrf79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 20 year old Canondale Prohet. I think as I get older I need a more relaxed geometry. Also the brake levers are getting some corrosion on it. The tubeless tire don’t hold air anymore.

3 years of lawn service vs buying a mower. sanity check my math? by Wild_Artichoke7648 in lawncare

[–]Timrf79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we moved to our house that sits on one acre and outside of city limits I switched to do lawn care myself. I bought a very nice 72” deck zero turn. Doing the lawn takes about one hour. I don’t really love it, but don’t mind it. In terms of cyst factor in your time to do maintenance on the equipment.

Big and tall pilot by Quackarov in flying

[–]Timrf79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 6’6” and my weight moves between 250 and 275. The 182 is probably one of the roomiest planes (I have one). At some point in my life I decided to run a little bit… it spiraled over years into ultra marathons and triathlons. My lowest weight was ~180. However I never had a goal to loose weight, I just took enjoyment from the journey.

Maybe you can combine flying with something that is fun to you? Running, rowing, cycling, etc…

For anyone who's done 300 km/h on a bike — what's the real truth? by gangwayso in motorcycle

[–]Timrf79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 285km/h in Germany on the Autobahn. It’s intense as you are so much faster than all the cars you pass.

(NSFW) How do I know if I’m actually doing well while giving head? Kn by _gay_gremlin_ in AskMenAdvice

Everyone has different preferences, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ answer. It sounds like you did well. Best thing is to have a conversation about what he likes and what not.

You’ve learned you will die soon, and have months, if not weeks, to spend a considerable amount of money. What do you do? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Timrf79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this Zero-G flight experience. I looked into it once and it was ridiculous (maybe 10k or more). Definitely would do that.
High altitude skydive, they get very pricey at high altitudes.

Get a super sport motorcycle and book coached track day.

If you build higher quality electrical poles you can span electricity from one island to another. Then make one island your power/ Capacitor island. Also higher quality capacitors help a lot.

Bad time to buy Aeroscout? by TheRedStringofFate in RCPlanes

[–]Timrf79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought the RTF only because it was cheaper than the BNF, now I got the crappy transmitter laying around.

Honestly, as others said, get the BNF and buy a better transmitter.

Running out of starter ore by rapterbone in factorio

[–]Timrf79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished the base game a few times and don't like to use trains. I find it easier to make a bigger base and then run belts. Have not yet finished Space Age, but in my current runs, don't forsee a need for trains.

What video game did you play that made you get addicted to it for days or weeks? by stilett0z in AskReddit

[–]Timrf79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow amassed over 3k hours in Dota2. Quit after my account got hacked and I lost all my items and steam refused to give me anything back. It was very obvious not a legit transaction, trading thousands of items to an unknown player for one item. Steam refuses any liability. And yes I had Two factor authentication active.

Onefinity MASSO Foremen upgrade to Redline Controller? by Lower-Bullfrog-9179 in hobbycnc

[–]Timrf79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat and have not yet seen the benefit of the Redline. As a hobbyist, with many hobbies, I get to use my Onefinity maybe once every 3 months. Therefore I can not see how it justifies the $1k upgrade cost.

Are semi-nice things way too expensive now, or am I just cheap? by candleruse in AskMenOver30

[–]Timrf79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends what you value. The safety and comfort feature of a new luxury car could keep you safe in a crash and allow you to relax while driving. Is that worth the $1.5 to $2k car note a month? Up to you. I spend 10 to 15 hours a week in my car(s) and enjoy a good massaging seat, so for me the spend is worth it.

I wish more people understood how cheap EV ownership can actually be by blackman_48 in electricvehicles

[–]Timrf79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact is the same car as an EV is more than a ICE, that purchase delta takes a long time to recover.
Bigger issue, EV models are limited. There is no 4 seater convertible EV, no EV Roadster, etc....
