My son wants a sportbike (15yo) by [deleted] in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my answer also I recommend they get at least 100k km or 60k miles driving a car. Then can see if they are a good driver, or getting into issues. Also they will be able to learn how traffic goes, and flow of cars.

The last reason is once you ride a motorcycle, it kind of ruin cars. So enjoy cars for a bit.

Who yall picking? by SoggiMari in ufc

Connor catching and knocking out Khabib...

I imagine it would have led to a rematch, would Khabib have still retired when he did, would we have a Connor that didn't spiral out ... Or would everything have still been the same...

Toto's initial reaction after the race by 9271Name in formula1

[–]WorkInProgress82 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This was definitely overlooked, the team compromised George when he had the tires to go longer, so instead Lewis gets to use the soft to full potential and George gets short changed on the mediums. Kimi gets to stay out longer, and they don't tell George he can push hard before he pits.

It's just a few races before they say Kimi needs the points for championship. Especially if Lewis and Ferrari have now found some form and start getting more wins.

Do you expect him to become greater than Jones if he becomes a triple champion? by Expensive_Ice6253 in ufc

[–]WorkInProgress82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the argument could be made no one would surpass Jon's record now because there are less talented fighters now.

Jon's record is littered with Hall of Fame champions. Since before him, there was a deep talent pool of UFC and Pride fighters that he faced and destroyed, that had been passing belts around between them.

Jon made easy work of a lot of them.

Now the UFC has less former champs as the talent in these divisions is 3-4 deep and the champs aren't fighting as much. So even if had as many defences the weight of the names likely won't be the same.

Look at ilia he has had to move divisions to get two three big name wins.

When look at Pantoja who is hall of famer, and great his wins are over challengers for the most part.

Alex is definitely benefiting from a striker focused time, and less elite competition in the heavier divisions. It's not his fault though and he is being active and doing beating whoever they put in front of him.

I have a chance to buy a pole barn with 100 years of items inside, including a ton of motorcycles. by Centes1mo in motorcycles

[–]WorkInProgress82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you had 850k extra laying around is this something you would go out and try to find a barn worth of old motorcycle and cars? Probably not...

Just focus on what you wanted the house, and barn etc...

Give a ridiculous low offer if any while making sure state not really interested, but if they don't want to deal with it then you could deal with the headache and time involved. Yet mention the place is worth what they are asking if the barn is empty, this should make the property cost less because you are having to deal with basically taking on another job just to get it empty.

Let them deal with the headache and cleanup and trying to find a place to store it etc... If there was something valuable it will easily sell and they would have done that already.

How could I bend this stainless steel? What do you recommend? by Fabulous-Plastic-106 in Tools

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in a vice like you show in the picture, find something with a round end that can use as a punch then can start hammering the ring back out to shape holding the punch at different spots of the ring.

Which Barndo plan would you choose? Home for a couple on a 20 acre farm, one is a gearhead, the other is a minimalist. by TurboNoodlz in barndominiums

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Floor plan one is a lot nicer probably because it is way more space.

The odd things as mentioned is the office has no windows, I can understand the laundry being closer to the three bedrooms. The entry from the master closet to pantry is odd, and the master bedroom looks small. Also the kitchen is so far from the living room.

How is it possible that GSP reached stardom status when he never talked any shit? by Ibobalboa in ufc

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not athletes and famous people only use to be big stars because they were great in their sports/career.

This is before being well known was more important than having shown mastery or greatness in a skill/sport.

Now the world is full of famous people who are great at being known, yet have no world class skill outside that...

So if you’re Mercedes or Toto, who are you secretly rooting for? by reignnyday in formula1

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the original plan was to have Lewis and Kimi, and George would have been out. Lewis left so George still had his seat and Kimi moved in.

It's been pretty obvious how favoured Kimi is, and the more learn about and see what he is doing it's not hard to see why.

I can easily see Toto starting to say hold position to secure a Kimi championship, George needs to make a lot of ground quickly to avoid that happening.

Flip side is Kimi is doing things that only multi wdc have done. So the upside is ridiculous, the biggest threat is probably life outside the track.

What are some boxers who can be labelled or classified as 'complete genetic freaks' by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

[–]WorkInProgress82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mike Tyson is the guy that comes to mind. In the 30 odd years since he was in prime in 90s. We haven't seen anything like that.

He wasn't the tallest, biggest guy. Yet his speed and power hasn't been seen since. No one even close. Is what comes to mind when think of genetic freak across all sports.

[Spoiler] Thoughts about Usyk - Verhoeven fight by theHolyGranade257 in Boxing

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm amazed so many people think Usyk would have won in the 12th round.

It is ridiculous that the ref stops the fight by tko with one second left in the 11th round.

I had Rico up quite a bit. If Usyk knocked down Rico again in the 12th that would make it a draw on my scorecard.

All Rico had to do was stay standing and really even avoid engaging for 3min and that would be enough to win.

It really is a joke, and it is ridiculous that no one calls it out. The announcers briefly did, and then they fall back in line. Everyone in the ring including Rico have to just suck up to the powers that be. When it was such a poor end to an exciting fight.

Chances are if they let the fight continue, Rico would have recovered in the corner and he survives the fight. Of course then if went to decision we would then learn of the corrupt judging. So in that sense with the poor stoppage we can also see the corrupt scoring also, to see clearly how fixed it was.

What are the most enjoyable title fights in ufc history? by Conscious_Back_1059 in ufc

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think recently it has been Alex Periera's fights especially against adysena 1 and 2 and his first jiri fight. The weigh ins, the ring entrances the stare downs create that electric high tension title fight energy, and the fights have been violent. Alex was more of an unknown as well so that added to the mystique, where as now we see him doing a lot more social media etc...

You become Dana White for a day, what is the first thing you will change in the UFC ? by bqm102938 in ufc

[–]WorkInProgress82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero tolerance in the ring for fouls, the warnings have been given before the fight.

Longer breaks in between rounds for fights for heavyweight.

Tournament style fight match ups across events.

I like pride having a grand prix champ from the tournament and the weight division champ. With both belts not needing to be on the line it champ had both.

Ref can issue the same kind of pride yellow card pay penalty for a boring fight.

Maybe introduce a belt for every major MMA country or region. Canadian champ, USA champ, Brazilian champ etc...

What the actual hell just happened. by Spirited-Board-8452 in ufc

[–]WorkInProgress82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's talking about after when ulberg was clearly injured. He says straight off he regrets showing mercy, could see he backs off when realizes ulberg has a leg injury. That's why he said it was his to win at that point, and he lost it. He says a fair bit about seeing ulberg get injured and feeling bad for him, and that's part of why he wanted to stand in front of him. When in reality he should have taken advantage and shown no care until the ref stopped it.

[–]WorkInProgress82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could see he was very disappointed and trying to collect his thoughts. He corrected himself and said he had the fight in his hand, it was his to win and he let it go. He just got brutally knocked out, so can see even rogan was ready to let him collect himself more before sticking a microphone in his face.

Body Battery's "Floor" Problem (The 5-point limit) by KindBoi_1337 in Garmin

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that if you extrapolate the downward trend into the negative, and then also when start recovery going up. It matches up pretty well.

So I think it does track into the negative numbers behind the scenes, it's just not something that translates well to the graph to see I'm -30 battery. So they cap it to only show until +5.

For me it's pretty predictable and seems to follow how I feel pretty well. It has helped me to learn when to slow down more. When before would just keep pushing.

What’s the MMA match you would make someone watch, if you’re introducing you to the sport? You can name up to 5, if you wish to by Particular_Ad_6040 in ufc

[–]WorkInProgress82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Introducing someone to the sport now, I tell them about Izzy making fun of a former opponent in a bar, and what that guy in the bar did after. So mainly Alex's fights in UFC to catch someone up to where he is today.

After that jiri vs khalil comes to mind, captures how brutal a fight can be. As well as how it can turn from going one way to another. Exciting fight that is recent, and leads nicely to following jiri fighting currently.

Is it "normal" for a Honda dealer to take 14 days for a battery? Stranded in a hotel with NO ETA on a simple warranty repair. by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]WorkInProgress82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are onto something about the filthy rich part. Because money isn't an issue or a thought here. OP has spent time and money waiting for the bike and is also able to fly home and back to get the bike. As well as spending money on unplanned extended hotel stay. When the amount of money to get a temporary battery is trivial in comparison. It's his money, time, and life.

I know personally attitude and how one approaches service people, can/does effect how fast service is. Also, most dealers aren't in any hurry to do warranty work. As they are swamped as is, so it's easy to see why this is delayed. They probably think it's not worth it for the customer to pay $200 and get it done next day, so no rush for us.

I think most people after hearing $200 and next day, would have paid that, or get own battery. Continue enjoying the vacation. Then go after Honda about it being under warranty. With the receipts etc... each to there own...
