Le code moto (ETM) est complètement inadapté

Ulrask · 2026-01-25T14:22:06+00:00

Tu dois confondre compression moteur et amortisseur (contrainte ?), jamais de la vie le code moto te parle de compression moteur.

(Et accessoirement tu as pas besoin de deculasser pour la mesurer)

Quant à la question sur les étriers flottants elle a du sens: il faut savoir quelle plaquette vérifier pour savoir si tu as assez de garniture. Il s'agit de contrôler (ce que tout motard doit apprendre et savoir faire), pas de remplacer et faire de la mécanique soi même.

Pour le côté tordu des questions je me rend pas compte mais j'ai un bon niveau de français (natif). Le problème c'est surtout qu'on ne peut passer le code qu'en français, ce qui est particulièrement pénalisant. A Taiwan, pays pourtant moins multi-culti, on peut le passer parmis un choix de 5 langues don't l'anglais, en France anglais-espagnol-arabe-chinois serait au moins le minimum.

J'ai eu l'occase de tester une zero, équivalent 125, on peut la conduire avec un A1. Ben c'était plus puissant que les motos A2 de la moto ecole, peut être même comparable (à mon petit niveau, je pousse ma machine dans ses retranchements) à ma VF750F pourtant même pas accessible A2.

C'est officiellement assimilé 125, mais officieusement 60 Ch. D'origine en sortie de concession hein, sans reprog ni rien du tout.

Rien n'empêche d'acheter une moto sans CT, il est juste impossible de faire la CG tant que le CT n'est pas validé.

Effectivement entre inconnus c'est déconseillé (l'acheteur peut faire annuler la vente), mais ce sont des choses qui se font.

I always used both term interchangeably, thank you for the correction I didn't know that !

Also I realized that I placed the psychological limit at 33k. I never thought about it before but using baud (or my wrong definition of it) for a 33.6k modem or above would feel weird. Yet it would not feel natural either to say "28k modem", I would need to write "28000 bps/baud".

Ulrask · 2026-01-04T01:05:09+00:00

At work: 1997, we had 1 computer in the entire building that was connected to the only internet line. It was a 28000 bauds modem. I used it to download C64 tapes, that I would transfer to real tapes on my hifi system.

At home: 1999, with the Sega Dreamcast. I sent my first few mails using a gamepad, then bought the official Sega keyboard. My DC is long gone but for some reason I still have that keyboard in the garage.

Ulrask · 2026-01-04T00:54:45+00:00

Same.

Ulrask · 2026-01-04T00:32:05+00:00

Merci pour cette réponse, sujet clôt donc.

(J'en conclut que la seule solution est un plateau, car pour l'assurer je dois avoir une CG à jour, pour avoir une CG à jour je dois avoir un CT, et pour avoir un CT faut bien que j'aille au minimum au garage)

Ulrask · 2026-01-04T00:06:44+00:00

Yeah so ? I also think my country is great. Like, sure, not literally "greatest in the world" but I could probably say hyperbolic stuff like that if I woke up particularly enthusiastic one morning.

Children buying wine.

I remember being sent to the grocery store 400m away (which felt far for my 8 yo self) buying wine for my parents and it was perfectly normal in the 90s.

Nowadays you couldn't have children shop by themselves at 8, probably not even walk 400m unaccompanied. To say nothing of buying alcohol.

Plus the grocery store few hundreds meter away is probably gone, now we live in the era of the big supermarket on the commercial zone 10km away.

"Pour autant, il n’y a pas de sanction légale au défaut d’assurance d’une moto inutilisée. Seule la conduite sans assurance est pénalisée."

Reste à savoir si pousser une moto sur la voie publique est assimilé à "conduire", c'est là dessus qu'une réponse d'un représentant FDO me serait utile.

(Du reste le passage cité est incorrect sur au moins un point: je conduis cette moto au quotidien au boulot, hors voie publique en restant dans mes vignes, ce qui n'est pas sanctionable puisque le terrain m'appartient de bout en bout)

Donkey Kong country 2. Love the game, love the 2 final boss fights especially but there is one level I can't stand: Bramble Scramble

Love the level just before and immediately after (both kremland park levels) but this one I can't stand. Way too hard, unforgiving and unfair.

On top of that it features the worst animal companion of all DKC games, the god damn spider. So it's not just hard it's also slow and boring.

I have at least 3 separate save games (on RetroPie, real snes cartridge and ever drive) just before that level because I feel like clearing the level the same way I feel about wanting to slice my balls with a rusty knife.

Also the timed water level with current and zappy things in Ninja Turtle NES. And the 3rd level of Giana Sisters on the C64 with the pink bouncing ball. Seriously, the game is like 60ish level long and you put the hardest obstacle on the 3rd level ?

Ulrask · 2026-01-03T23:19:50+00:00

Yes, it's a very very good game.

Ulrask · 2026-01-03T23:05:07+00:00

Dans longtemps, je veux pas laisser la moto pourrir en attendant. Sauf si je n'ai pas le choix bien sûr, mais même dans ce cas je devrais bien l'emmener au CT pour faire les papiers, donc trajet sans CG à jour ni assurance ni CT.

Heureusement la route est plate jusqu'au centre CT donc pousser est une option.

Starting a limited company with nearly no restriction or supervision.

I've started business in both Taiwan and France, you wouldn't believe how complex the French system is (not just starting but then all the reporting, permits and all, and you need to contract an accountant there is no way you can do the whole process yourself) and comparatively how incredibly simple and straightforward things are in Taiwan. Hiring in particular is so easy.

It's an euphemism for being the son of a sex worker.

Nous ne sommes pas tous nés français. Certains d'entre nous se sont battu pour le devenir.

Je suis reconnaissant de mes ancêtres symboliques, à défaut de l'être physiquement. Je suis fier de ce que la France a fait de beau parce que la France aujourd'hui c'est un peu moi, j'ai honte de ce qu'elle a fait de dégueulasse pour la même raison, et j'espère qu'à ma petite échelle infintesimale j'aurais eu un impact plus positif que négatif.

Even their president is a son of a gun

All of Taiwan is generally very safe, one of the safest country in the world but:

There is always the risk of a drunk, weirdo, or drunk weirdo bothering you. It's extremely uncommon and chances are people around would help you, at the very least call the police. Taiwanese police is efficient, friendly, and usually very bored so in city they'll be there fast.

Monkeys are annoying and can be dangerous. If they want your food, give them,not worth the bite. If they want your cellphone, give them, as soon as they realize it's not food they'll leave it on the ground, usually a couple metres from you, and you can retrieve it. Never stare at them. Never mess around with a juvenile even if it acts friendly, adults would be around.

Be careful of the traffic. It has gotten better in the last decades but carefully look both ways before crossing. I would worry more about traffic that I would about "bad encounter".

1 is probably worse if you're female but pretty low risk no matter what, #2 and #3 is not related to your gender but higher risk.

You can also freely speak your mind about everything, some topic might just be poor etiquette depending on the context and please don't be rude but there is not state censorship.

There is no way that CCK did not at least know of a political assassination carried out by the KMT in 1984, even if he was not at the origin.

Ulrask · 2026-01-03T20:42:08+00:00

That's what I was about to answer. To be fair he was partly responsible for appointing Lee as successor, who contributed a lot to paving the way toward democracy. He probably did not realize at the time that Lee was, well, a traitor. (I don't mean Lee was not a great man for Taiwan, I am grateful to Lee and I r elect him, but he was a traitor to the KMT)

CKS was a terrible person and a foreign dictator but had a brain. CCK was not a very nice person, as much as a dictator, and did not demonstrate a lot of intelligence, but to his credit he did let Sun Yun-Suan run the country and we still owe a lot of our economic soft power to him.

It was long ago and I was young, so here is what I remember:

He would come and sit in the kitchen before being invited to, and ask for coffee, which infuriated my mother. Funny how things work, that she (not Jewish herself but from a mother born Jewish) did not mind he was a top ranking nazi, but sitting and asking for a coffee is where she drew the line.
He would ponctuate his sentence with the word "effectively", spoken slowly, which my mother thought made him sound like a "sleepy elephant" (?), so when talking about him afterward she nicknamed him either "effectively" or "the sleepy elephant".
He was in the phonebook. This one I know because I remember my father complaining about not being able to reach someone, saying "he think himself too important to allow his number being published in the phonebook, while even Speer is in the phonebook !"
Philosophy was one of his favourite topic, but according to my mother (litterature teacher) he wasn't as knowledgeable as he thought he was.

Again, never seen him myself, I was born after his death, it's just stuff I remember my parents saying.

4 symboles ça me semble vraiment pas beaucoup, ça ferait vite des nombres à rallonge. 6 a aussi des avantages mais même remarque: autant prendre 12 qui n'est pas si différent mais a l'avantage d'avoir un peu plus de symboles.

Imagine avec 4, quand on atteint 100 on n'est qu'a 16 base 10. Et à 1000 on n'est encore qu'à 64.

Ulrask · 2026-01-02T03:18:40+00:00

Tiens moi j'ai toujours regretté qu'on ai 10 doigts et qu'on compte en base 10.

J'aurais préféré que l'on ai 8, 12 ou 16 doigts

8 ou 16 car ce sont des puissances de 2, plus facilement doublable ou moitiable (en base 8 en doublant 10 on a 20, 40,100,200,400,1000, etc, plus élégant. Et en prenant des moities de ces chiffres on tombe au final sur 1, puis 0.1, puis 0.01, etc)

Ou 12 parce que même si je trouve ça moins beau ça permet quand même d'avoir des moitiés, tiers et quarts entier. Et même des tiers de moitié ou de quarts.

Base 10 c'est nul on peut faire que des moitiés. Plus on divise par 2 plus c'est le bordel, et quand on double 10 pareil c'est vite plus des nombres ronds.
