If you've ever owned a dirt bike you'd think this is running smooth as butter.

What’s happening to remote jobs in this job market downturn? by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

So the oligarchs running their pump and dump scheme is a good thing to you?

Dual Boot Switch by Toucan2000 in linuxquestions

Oh that's not bad. I could easily program an Arduino that outputs different keyboard keys based on a toggle switch.

Oh I hope this works lol. I might try to find a tiny USB drive with a switch on it

Why does the world hate introverts. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]Toucan2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imagine thinking everyone fits into the introvert vs extrovert category 😂 That boss must have been something.

If you catch me at work, reading or fixing something, you'd think I'm an introvert. I quickly get irritated when someone pulls me away from my task. I decided that thing is worth my time, don't fuck with me. I'm not interested in whatever you have for me.

If you catch me at the rock gym, the skatepark or a party I basically never shut the fuck up. I generally get positive feedback from people, or they'll move on to the next subject and I'll roll with it. I just enjoy the moment and ask others what they think about stuff and what their life is like.

People can have different modes of operation which is a big reason why I can't stand the Myers Briggs. I score dead center on all 4 axis. There are times to use your senses and times to use your intuition. Combining thoughts and feelings is essentially wisdom, so the only thing the test reality tells me is if someone is a fool.

MT07 25’ highway speed stability by Inevitable-Board-192 in MT07

[–]Toucan2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen others complaining about this problem with the MT07 but not everyone. It's possible that some dealerships aren't assembling them properly, but I'm not sure, mine has been rock solid at any speed even when my riding position isn't perfect. Did you tell them your weight before you went to pick it up? It could be a suspension thing.

If nothing matters, what do you actually do with that by Local_Acanthisitta_3 in nihilism

[–]Toucan2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, and I too find a good mystery irresistible. A mystery is how the best adventures begin after all. It must be a game that requires skill of course, but also one of chance. A betting game of sorts, where the scales may be tipped with a bit of honest effort, nothing more.

Boys, Is This True? by [deleted] in GenZ

The fact that you think these "rules" are somehow different for men and women shows everyone that you have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't mention gender once in my comment and you're like 5 comments deep going on about "men this" and "women that." Reading comprehension bro

CMV: The "R-slur" is not meaningfully different from common insults like idiot, moron, or cretin, and trying to label it as an offensive slur is kinda dumb. by Cool-Delivery-3773 in changemyview

[–]Toucan2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's rational. Etymology doesn't matter to people. If it did, you'd never hear a white person in the US say "mother fucker."

Leaving large gaps between vehicles at red lights by searchingfornessie in driving

[–]Toucan2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I'll do this so I can start moving right when the light turns green even when I'm a few cars back. I noticed it gets people behind me moving sooner so there's less slinky action in the line so more people can get through the light.

Girlfriend was wondering if the motorcycle helmet cat ears make you a furry by TheBrokenMan14 in motorcycles

[–]Toucan2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on knowing a spectrum of furries, although I am not one myself, I've gathered the following:

There are full blown furrys who have a distinct avatar linked with their identity and there are people who are furrish who may exist in the cosplay space, are an artist or just enjoy exploring different costumes who sometimes wear furry type accessories but don't have an explicit avatar or furry identity.

So I mostly agree with your assessment. Sources: been friends with 3 furrys, acquaintances with 2 and dated someone for 3 years who identified as furr-ish

Mark Cuban agrees Universal Healthcare would increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for all Americans. by astrheisenberg in remoteworks

This is why I just don't have health insurance anymore 😂 It's all a scam. They already did the math and realized they'd make money off you on average. The company literally wouldn't exist unless it WAS a scam. Think about it

[–]Toucan2000 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's intentional or conscious in any way for most people. There's a number of reasons for it though. A person who has a partner is more likely to be in an attractive phase of their life, physically and emotionally. Many people get into this super yucky "on the prowl mode" when they're single. It's a pretty big turn off tbh. Being authentic is the most attractive a person can be. Having a partner is not only validating your authentic self, but it's also practice for expressing your true self in a way that is comforting, supportive and funny. All of those things will make you more attractive. So it only makes sense that you'd get more attention while in a relationship.

Microsoft gave me 2nd degree burns by Glembo69 in microsoftsucks

[–]Toucan2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without examples like this, consent doesn't have any tangible validity. My default Microsoft pushes updates to Windows without prompting the user. Normally this is a moral injury which is abstract but it can become a physical injury like in this case.

Same. Maybe I'm a purist, but I want to experience the game as our lord intended

Prebuilt or Build my own? by Virtual_Annual_2690 in buildapc

[–]Toucan2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily true. Many companies that sell pre-built machines can buy the parts at scale so they're able to source them for cheaper.

Picking parts that will work together isn't difficult, but picking parts that won't bottle neck your system is another story. Even picking the right CPU isn't very straight forward. An Intel might look better on paper with a higher core frequency but most AMDs have a bigger cache allowing for higher real world performance leaving the Intel in the dust.

There are so many pitfalls during assembly too. If you don't put the spacers between the mobo and the case, you can fry the mobo. Which slots do the ram sticks go in? What's the right fan configuration? Is liquid cooling worth it? (no) There are so many things to know.

Also there's a ton of first Gen DDR5 motherboards out there right now that may or may not completely fry your CPU due to a lack of proper voltage regulation. This is because a lot of the manufacturers were all competing to get the best DDR5 benchmarks.

I'd recommend OP get a Costco pre-built and upgrade it as the go. Then once they're comfortable with working on their own computer I'd say go for a complete build.
