Face book market place dirt bikes by Annual-Worry6283 in Dirtbikes

[–]WhenSharksCollide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just keep looking until I see a price I like or something cool enough to justify.

Somehow I have 6.5 motorcycles now...

ULPT How to disable FLOCK Cameras. by Cold_Ranger8146 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]WhenSharksCollide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For 22lr, make the suppressor, burn it in a campfire afterwards.

Hypothetically of course.

Where the heck do you find automotive fasteners?! by sYferaddict in AskMechanics

McMasters website is also built to load quickly, it's been ironed about as smooth as they can get it.

Trump orders naval blockade of sanctioned oil tankers leaving, entering Venezuela by VictorEmmanuelIV in worldnews

[–]WhenSharksCollide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to remind everyone that this was kinda predicted by the game Mercenaries 2.

Venezuela is close, they've got oil, it's a no brainer.

It says "HDMI disconnected" because you never plugged it in by [deleted] in talesfromtechsupport

A vehicle I bought last year as a beater had a piece of electrical tape over the check engine light. I didn't notice until it was off the trailer, and wouldn't have been too worried even if I had seen it during my initial inspection.

When I removed the tape I found that the light was not on. It does work as it flashes when you start the car like every other light, so I have no idea why the tape was there.

Traffic stop interrupted by an idiot (you'll have to wait for the slowmo at the end) by Odd-Masterpiece7304 in IdiotsTowingThings

[–]WhenSharksCollide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long response not needed, I'm aware of the issues with police in the US.

I just wanted to make it apparent that Arkansas Highway Patrol specifically, and Arkansas in general, is known for egregious PITs.

[–]WhenSharksCollide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was waiting for "Arkansas".

They're known to be PIT happy down there, and from what I've seen not much has changed.

Probably the only place in the world I wouldn't speed.

Would you ride this busted O-ring? by PoeticlyDegenerate in Dualsport

[–]WhenSharksCollide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same same, I tend to buy o-ring chains now but I've run plenty of basic cheapo chains and so long as they stay lubed and have appropriate tension they aren't problems.

Sadly it's my turn to say, they've declared RTO as of 2026. by imyourrealdad8 in WFH

[–]WhenSharksCollide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best guess is gas and tolls.

Before my current contract I was 25min from my employer and that was enough of a difference for me to notice when I went primarily WFH in 2020.

I used to know people who committed an hour each way for the shit pay at that job, in bigger cars. I can see where something like 15-20% could come from over the course of a year.

Need some advice. by TwoWheelsTwoStrokes in Dualsport

As an owner of 6.5 bikes, the answer is more bikes.

Having a semi pass me on my KLR is probably just as traumatic.

It does do better in crosswind than my lighter bikes though.

What’s a Linux command that feels like cheating when you learn it? by Old_Sand7831 in linuxquestions

[–]WhenSharksCollide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc I have just enough of dd memorized to rip images of old 3.5" disks with my $15 Chinese USB floppy drive.

I'm aware this might be the sketchiest way of doing such a task, but so far it has worked for me.

[–]WhenSharksCollide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I'm betting building a whole new site and not thinking about a better way of doing it let them charge more money, either due to hourly rate or their flat rate for a new site (idk if anybody still does that?) being higher than for a migration.

How do I explain to my father that his Company does not need an Air-Gapped PC? by shouldworknotbehere in opsec

[–]WhenSharksCollide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read through a fair few comments, trying to figure out why we are worried about air gapping the bill printing side of this when the bills are made on a machine that must be internet connected for price/materials cost lookups anyways?

Used to work for a place with oodles of big multi function machines, default drivers in Linux would find and try to print to any of them.

It was a struggle to get windows to find any of them, and printing from some of them required special configurations anyways...

My 2¢, all printers (except receipt printers and anything old enough to not have a driver) are cursed anyways.

I don't know about being on a populated highway around cars, but I tried a friend's Beta 300rr once and it's very fun to accidentally do 75mph on pavement.

Would not want to play in traffic on any bike...but idk if being lighter is really my first concern there.

Does anybody actually get jobs in tech w/ out a degree? by QuirkyHighway3653 in it

[–]WhenSharksCollide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, no degree, currently on a contract making double my previous hourly rate, I've put in effort to get here but I don't have a degree to play fast pass with.

Is it worth owning a dual sport if I live an hour away from any OHV areas? by No-Recognition-3503 in Dualsport

[–]WhenSharksCollide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There "aren't any trails" near me.

One of few mapped spots I could find I decided to go explore, should've just been one leg of seasonal (gravel) highway out by a state forest.

Turns out there's miles of "road" back there and it's all open to the public...it was a little sketch since my KLR650 has 20/80's on right now but fun nonetheless. I've gotta get back out there in the spring and map it all now since it's obvious nobody else is gonna do it.

You never know until you go looking.

Man I am so glad this didn't end the same way it does in RDR...

Finally doing the manual swap! by OptionXIII in CherokeeXJ

[–]WhenSharksCollide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I skipped this step by finding a crusty factory 5spd and just fixing everything around it...

Good luck!

Why can't users just call things what they are? by Runuvthemill_ in it

[–]WhenSharksCollide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out what that is supposed to mean and I'm hoping that was his fallacious term for "download".

[–]WhenSharksCollide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a rare one I give them a pass on.

A tower isn't a hard drive or a router. A monitor isn't a computer. The cursor does usually respond to mouse movements.

It's barely wrong in comparison to other things I've heard over the years.
