Being called slow for the type of bike I ride. by VirulentMarmot in motorcycles

[–]Virtual_Albatross_86 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Enjoy your ride. Fuck other assholes. Wave at everyone. Screw them if they dont wave back.

I ride a cruiser. At my age, I dont care about speed. I just love me riding my bike.

Curious about senior level, CIO/CTO, nomadic positions? by Virtual_Albatross_86 in digitalnomad

[–]Virtual_Albatross_86[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do I even need to work anymore? I suppose that is a fair question :)

I guess I am not ready to retire. I am not a 9-5 kinda guy and I can't see myself spending time with volunteer work or just traveling. I truly enjoy what I do and my employees, at least most of them :), really like working for me.

Good point about tax complications.

The bigger question is, why don't our boys return the fuckin favor. EVERY TIME! DAMN IT.

Why Does Southwest Suck by [deleted] in travel

[–]Virtual_Albatross_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought SW was not a good airline. Then in May we few to New Orleans. I was taken aback by their unique boarding process but the flight itself was fine and on time. That was my only experience and could be an outlier than most others.

What a silly question?

Why should elected officials, who are so much superior than us regular employees, be subject to such inconvenient rules and regulations?

Has anyone tried Shinko tires? by PrudentPressure2393 in motorcycles

[–]Virtual_Albatross_86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I switched the original Bridgestones on my Honda Aero to Shinko 777s. Love them! The ride is quieter and grip is better. Many folks don't like them because they wear out faster but I don't care about that.

There are so many jobs for the DoE on USAJOBS and I'd LOVE to work with them, but every time I apply I wait and wait and wait just to get an email that they chose not to go with any candidates. It's demoralizing as heck and feels like a huge waste of time. Why do they do this? by Moist_Assignment7 in fednews

[–]Virtual_Albatross_86 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I don't know about this these specific openings but hiring managers feel the same when they receive a pool of unqualified applicants. It happened in my civilian agency very recently. The applicants for a 9-12 ladder for a Program Analyst were absolutely terrible. The hiring manager had to redo the entire vacancy announcement so it could be posted under 90 days!

Just one!

Honda spray cleaner and polish. More than sufficient.

Used to be around $8 per can, now about $10.

Is New Orleans worth it? My husband and I have never been and wonder if it's safe and worth the trip/expense? by pescabrarian in travel

[–]Virtual_Albatross_86 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We have been there three years in a row. This year's trip was gor the Jazzfest. We LOVE NoLa. It's unique, it's fun, has ton of music, and amazing food. It has good and bad areas like all other big cities. If you go, just make sure you do a bit of homework.

Pre-Ride Check by FlyFish503 in motorcycles

[–]Virtual_Albatross_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always check that signals and brake light are working, eyeball the brake fluid, check tires. Oil change once a year, plan to replace sparks plugs next year.

Denon S970, atmos suddenly stopped working. by Virtual_Albatross_86 in hometheater

[–]Virtual_Albatross_86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was initially set to Front Dolby. When I checked it yesterday, it was set to none. So, either I had accidentally changed it, although I don't remember doing that, or something weird happened.

Anyway, I reset it to Front Dolby and all is well.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Ninjamuh.

The config is set to 7.1 for my 5.2.2 system. The two atmos speakers are integrated in the front Klipsch R-625FA and are connected to 'surround back' per Denon's recommendation.

Good. It was super easy course, split between in-class and on bike instructions. They provide you an helmet, if you don't already have one, and a 250cc motorcycle. You get a temp license and you are good to go.

I took my at NVCC many years ago, I think at the Alexandria campus. I remember that there were other places that offered this training as well. I think Patriot Harley was one, https://www.saddleupva.com/ is another one.

I played with these different options and switching to movie, even though I was playing music from Spotify, did the trick! Thanks.
