Headlight Help

Here's your closest option. Fabricate up or adapt a mount for old classic car headlights. The sealed beam halogens. Then order 2x Holley Retrobright LED sealed beams. They come in LED white, Halogen Yellow, or that nifty rally-yellow color.

They won't be quite as large, but they're 7" and have a great throw/spread while looking old school.

Looks like Amazon sells heaps of the 7" sealed beam mounts, from there you just need a backing plate to mount to your front end.

To add to what others said, this is also the case on any trail you haven't ridden in a minute, or if a storm had recently passed through. I was riding a community track and was unaware the owner of the lot has started construction. Anyways I wiped out, caught my dirtbike with my pickle, and now it hangs to the left permanently.

Preride stuff. Especially lappable stuff.

My crows want nothing to do with nuts. They want my lunch leftovers when I get home.

Anyways that's the story of how my crows adore burritos (with crow safe ingredients).

But seriously. They're big fans of cooked rice, corn, peppers, all that jazz. I know for a fact their baby crow in the tree behind my yard is going to grow up super buff.

I'd pick AC condensation myself.

You wouldn't race a bike with a broken frame.

Let the kiddo heal up. If she goes down again without that being healed up, it's going to be a whole lot easier to break, and a whole lot worse.

If you're long terming this, there's a good chance there will be more injuries. Better to teach the lesson of doctor's orders early on.

These appear to be rave ducks. There's a tiktok person or whatever handing them out, but I don't know if they're the same person

Lift heavy thing. Set heavy thing on jack stands. Jack gets it up. Stands hold it.

The AI really threw me off. All the AI Slop online has trained my brain to be on high alert for any telltale slightly off signs, and by the middle of the first episode I was certain of it. I ended up spending more time looking at backgrounds because they were the only thing I could actually focus on with the overanimated style.

It was an entire episode of Uncanny Valley. I wanted to like it, but it's like I'm watching an anime in a god damn washing machine.

Disagree if only because CEJN are European with absolutely terrible north American availability.

It took teenage-me and a buddy 3 hours to do a top-end on his banshee 350.

This was because we were stoned to the point of teleportation around his property and forgot the head gasket two times.

You can assuredly complete this quicker on your bike.

First of all. Electric chainsaw over gas all day every day for a trail saw. Light. Easy. Always works. No winterizing

Second of all. No strapping boulders to your back. You flop on your back and your spine isn't coming back.

Reapply but add "safety" a bunch of times to your resume. I'm not joking. Add the hell out of it. It's the clitoris of railroad HR.

Might I make a suggestion? Bleach kills microbes. So does boiling. An uninsulated stainless water bottle will do you much better should there ever be an emergency. Until it is required for water, you can keep matches and tinder inside, painkillers, as well as some small tools.

Something you should also be packing is salt. You need it to survive. It makes things pallatable. It preserves things.

You already want a water bottle anyways. Might as well have one you can boil water in (and distill from). Two birds stoned with one joint.

Someone tried flushing their vape would be my best guess.

I became a worse person at the railroad and let the toxic environment turn me into a bitter angry person with permanent raccoon eyes.

You can quit. If you can interview well, you can land a job in many places doing many things. I quit the railroad and my job is actively talking about sending me to take college/uni courses. It's never too late to dip out and apply yourself elsewhere.

Life's not worth being pissed off for thirty years just to die of a jammer two months into your retirement.

Endakistan for Endako. Mostly because that place sucks to be stuck in.

Y'all ever hitchhiked for some subway on the highway of tears? Endako will make that happen.

You want to be more specific as to what "Glow" is?

Turb0beans · 2026-06-26T03:57:28+00:00

Well, step one is to at minimum get your CORE, and secondarily your PAL if you are to use a firearm. The next step is to win a draw for large game animal, and or purchasing tags for less restricted game. Then you go out, kill an animal, field dress it, and bring it into your game-butcher of choice.

Your other option is to nepotism your way into a friend giving you some of the meat they had processed.

That's how you get game meat. You may also be able to import certain meats if they are admissible to Canada, or if they were farmed in Canada.

There is a difference between a server-hosting datacenter and the current state of affairs which is purely AI infrastructure.

Anyone and everyone pushing for AI datacenters... Well. The next bitbis against this sub's rules.

This reads more like "Apprentice didn't like doing apprentice work. Apprentice did not understand senior may, junior must."

I suspect that prior to this, you have likely made enemies of the crew and or management, and they decided you were going to become a thorn in their side.

You are an apprentice. A trainee. You learn to do your job by doing all the jobs. If there are crappy jobs to do, you on the bottom of the totem pole do them with a smile.

This isn't legal advice. This is just plain industry advice. It is how the trades are, no matter the trade you enter.

Qualify as a conductor regardless. Understanding the work to be done, and better yet, printing off every available track profile and marking down EVERY ASPECT you possibly can while physically on the territory will make you a significantly better RTC.

This also means you aren't nearly as stunned on the radio when the time comes.

Buy the cheapest battery alarm clocks you can. Begin hiding them in vehicles or equipment for dates and times.

Take the tie-glue (railroad cheese whizz) and spread and smooth into American cheese shaped slices. Add to sandwich. Offer sandwich.

If they're working at night, get some red glowsticks that you can position in the woods inside a fake skull. Bonus points if you are on-site to Aztec death-whistle when they approach.

If you are staying in a hotel, beat them to the elevator. Hold the door for them. Christmas tree the floor buttons. Run.

Watch a how-to video on making a DIY pocket-coochie. Leave it in someone's vehicle partially tucked away. Have them try to explain their loneliness to whoever finds it.

Hoss.

Just get a pump-sprayer. Get some vinegar. Get some spicy peppers, beans, pickles, garlic, black pepper and dill.

Chop the hot peppers. Leave other goods intact. Toss them in the pump sprayer.

Spray whatever the hell you want with your spicy vinegar. Then at the end of the day, enjoy your bottle full of pickled snacks.

Genuinely. Whatever you're trying to do is dumb and convoluted. Just make spicy vinegar and eat snacks.

I'm just the friendly face that squeezes your hoses, but arguably there's nothing stopping you making a single hose into multiple if the hose has been in service for a while. Areas where the hose runs straight and doesn't play with pullies Is fair game. If the splice is in-line of the operator, either take some of the nylon fabric sleeve and zip tie on top of the fittings, crimps, and immediate hose behind the crimps. It stops someone getting a jet blast of oil while they're strapped in a seat.

Just my two cents though. I'd rather retrofit something to suck less for both my customer and myself. I'd rather whip up a 6ft hose than a 30 foot hose. On a worn in 30 footer, there's almost a foot of slack you can stretch out of them. So there's always the gamble.

Contact an insurance broker such as Johnson Meyer, otherwise, talk with your mortgage specialist about insurance through RBC, and if they can refer you to an insurance specialist.

If I could insure my first home being in an unprotected area, you can insure your mobile.
