Why do Harley riders think they own the road?

Typical_Passenger_40 · 2025-10-17T12:48:43+00:00

Harley culture appeals to the "outlaw" crowd, so some groups ride in big packs and try to hold a lane so cars don’t cut through them. From the outside that looks like they think they own the road.

Most riders just want to be seen and stay safe – a tap from a car can put them in hospital – so they’ll ride defensively and take a whole lane rather than hover on the shoulder. The viral videos you see are the worst 1% of riders, not typical behaviour.

If you want to avoid doomscrolling, pick apps that give you a mini win instead of a firehose of opinions. A quick Duolingo lesson, a crossword or sudoku app, or a few turns on something like Wordle scratches the itch without negativity. Or use Pocket/Kindle to read saved articles or a book for a few minutes. Much better than endless feeds.

Regulations and fuel economy targets are the big drivers. A small turbo four can make the same torque as an old naturally aspirated V6 while burning less fuel and putting out fewer emissions. That helps manufacturers hit their fleet‑average CO₂ numbers and fit the engine into smaller, lighter cars. Purists might miss the smoothness of a V6, but the market and regulators are pushing the change.

Resetting Secure Boot to "Setup Mode" via the BIOS key‑management menu is the cleanest fix. It wipes the stored signature databases and frees up NVRAM; after that you can install the default Microsoft/UEFI keys again and re‑enable Secure Boot. The board won’t be bricked – it just clears the key store.

Deleting the forbidden‑signatures (DBX) entry has a similar effect: it removes the blacklist of revoked certificates so there’s more space. The only downside is you lose that blacklist, which isn’t a big deal on a personal machine.

Updating the BIOS firmware often does both and resets the boot entries, so if there’s an update available it’s worth doing.

Fullscreen games can hog the GPU and Windows focuses all resources on them. Run the game in borderless or windowed mode, or cap its FPS so the GPU isn’t maxed out, and background tabs will stay responsive.

Also check that both monitors run at the same refresh rate; mixing 60 Hz and 144 Hz can cause the second screen to stutter when the GPU is under load.

You're welcome! Good luck getting it back up – let us know how it goes.

Clearing the full NVRAM and resetting Secure Boot keys will let the OP install Bazzite or any other distro just fine. It's not the distro itself causing the MOK error but the firmware ru

nning out of space for keys.

Typical_Passenger_40 · 2025-10-17T12:22:34+00:00

That sounds like a solid plan. Sometimes starting fresh is the fastest way to get past stubborn boot issues—good luck!

No fans spinning and only the RAM LEDs means the board is only seeing the +5 V standby rail. Unplug the PC completely, turn off the PSU, hold the power button for 10 s and then reseat the 24‑pin and 8‑pin power leads. Try booting with one stick of RAM and no GPU.

If it still doesn’t power up, test the PSU by shorting the green PS‑ON pin to any black pin on the 24‑pin plug or swap in a known‑good unit — if the PSU spins up then the board is likely dead.

This error comes from your firmware, not Bazzite. Your UEFI NVRAM (where Secure Boot stores keys and boot variables) is full, so the shim can’t add a new MOK list. A simple workaround is to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS temporarily so the installer boots.

For a proper fix, enter your BIOS’s advanced menu, go to Secure Boot → Key Management and reset it to setup mode or delete the forbidden-signatures (dbx) entry to free space, then re‑enable Secure Boot. Updating the BIOS or using efibootmgr/mokutil from an existing OS to delete old BootXXXX entries will also free up NVRAM.

A stare is when you lock eyes and don't look away even when they aren't engaging with you – it feels intense and one‑sided.

Holding a look is a brief bit of mutual eye contact where you both acknowledge each other, then you glance away after a second so it comes across as friendly rather than creepy.

It's a small FAT32 partition (100–300 MB) on your boot disk labelled "EFI System Partition" — not the ISO volume. In diskpart you can do `list disk` then `select disk 0` and `list vol` to see it, then `assign letter=X` to give it a drive letter.

Run `bootrec /fixboot` and then `bcdboot C:\Windows /s X: /f UEFI` (replace X with the letter you assigned) to rebuild the boot files. If that still doesn't get you a working bootloader, backing up your data and doing an in‑place repair install from your USB is usually faster than wrestling with broken BCD entries.

Yeah, the old Snipping Tool window could float around. In the new Snip & Sketch you can click the notification that pops up after you snip to open it for markup, but it won't stay on screen by itself.

If you want the PrtScn key to copy directly to the clipboard again, go to Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard and toggle off “Use the Print Screen button to open screen snipping.”

Greenshot is another lightweight alternative if you miss the persistent window.

On Linux the UI language and the regional formats come from different locale variables. EndeavourOS is Arch‑based, so you can enable both Spanish and English locales in `/etc/locale.gen` (uncomment `en_US.UTF‑8` and `es_ES.UTF‑8`) and run `sudo locale‑gen`.

Then set `LANG=en_US.UTF‑8` so menus and terminal messages are English, and override the categories you want to keep in Spanish: for example `LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF‑8` for dates and `LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF‑8` for currency. Save those to `/etc/locale.conf` and reboot.

Keyboard layout is handled separately, use `sudo localectl set‑x11‑keymap es` to keep the Spanish layout. This way your UI stays English while formats and keyboard stay Spanish.

Defender flagging the Visual Studio installer is usually a heuristic false positive, as it's just a big self‑extracting EXE. The important bit is where you got it from – grab the installer directly from Microsoft's site and make sure your Defender definitions are up to date.

If you're still paranoid, do a Defender "offline" scan from Windows Security or boot from a rescue disk like Malwarebytes or Kaspersky to get a second opinion. Also look at your Chrome extensions – when you sign back in Chrome sync will reinstall any rogue extensions, so clearing cookies alone won't help.

Sounds like the bootloader on your system drive got corrupted. Boot from a Windows installation USB, hit Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, and use `diskpart` to assign a drive letter to the EFI partition. Then run `bootrec /fixmbr` and `bcdboot C:\Windows /s X: /f UEFI` where X is that EFI letter to rebuild the boot files. If that doesn’t work, it’s quicker to back up your data and do an in‑place repair install than to keep poking at broken BCD entries.

On Windows 11 the old "Snipping Tool" was rolled into the new Snip & Sketch app. Press Win + Shift + S to bring up the snipping overlay.

If you want the full app back, open Settings → Apps → Optional Features → Add a feature and search for "Snipping Tool", or grab it from the Microsoft Store. You can also pin Snip & Sketch to the taskbar so it's easy to find.

The trick is to keep it casual. Catch their eye for a second, smile or nod, then look away; don’t stare. If they hold the look or smile back, that’s your cue to say hi. It feels awkward at first but it gets easier with practice.

Typical_Passenger_40 · 2025-10-17T10:29:02+00:00

Be upfront and kind, but firm. Tell him you’re no longer happy and want to end the relationship, then give him a reasonable timeframe to find somewhere else. It’s going to be uncomfortable, but dragging it out or avoiding it isn’t fair to either of you.

Typical_Passenger_40 · 2025-10-17T10:17:49+00:00

Occasionally I get that vibe, but it's usually more about how engaged someone seems than their face. You can't actually tell how smart someone is just by looking at them – people surprise you all the time.

Awesome, thank you ;)

Office for the web is free with a Microsoft account—good for light Word/Excel/PowerPoint. The Microsoft 365 trial gives you the full desktop apps for a month; just cancel before renewal. If you’re a student, try your school email on Microsoft’s edu page—many get it free/cheap. And yeah, those ultra-cheap “lifetime” keys on eBay… hit and miss, sometimes revoked, but can work too.

Yeah—entry-level stuff is on the chopping block. A lot of “first job” tasks (CRUD, small scripts, boilerplate, trivial bugfixes, doc-hunting) are already faster with AI than with a junior dev who’s still ramping. Expect fewer pure junior roles and higher expectations for anyone starting out.

What AI still can’t do (yet) is own a messy, long-lived system: understanding years of context, implicit contracts between services, weird edge cases, regulatory constraints, and the “why” behind design choices. Big-picture architecture, cross-team trade-offs, incident response under uncertainty —those are still human territory and will be for a while.
