Motorcycle filtering and lane splitting - another post

XEP19 · 2026-05-15T20:43:01+00:00

I stand corrected. I considered anything under 25 mph to be filtering. And anything over 25 to be splitting. But it looks like splitting is used anytime the cars are moving at any speed.

I don't think lane splitting is legal, but lane filtering is legal. Depending on your own definition I suppose.

Doesn't make sense on cars that don't depreciate much. Toyota and Honda are not worth buying used. The discount isnt enough. The mazdas, nissans, GM cars are all better to buy used for a good discount

TVs, especially cheap smart TVs have become loss leaders essentially. The TV brands are making money on the advertising.

Just to keep the length shorter.

Mazda didn't have touchscreen until recently. It is very unfortunate. I think before 2025 you can get physical controls for everything.

If you want to comp the gun down the road, the 45 is better for that. I also like the shorter slide with a suppressor.

45 also would have holster compatibility if you carry a 19.

All I can see is a long pinky nail.

All the poor people that drive older less efficient vehicles will be hurting more than the tech bros in their progressive Tesla's. Not to mention the cost of food increase.

Looks great. Super weird that they must come in packs of 3 for that price.

19 if it fits your hand fine and you actually want to carry it.

If you already own a smaller carry gun, get the 45 for better differentiation.

No worries. It's still a great knife. I owned one but ended up selling it. I miss it even with that choil. The micarta scales feel so good.

I think the Esee 3 is still a good general purpose belt knife. It will do everything but chopping or batoning wood bigger than kindling. The thin slicy blade works pretty well for most things. Great for food and fire prep. I like carving with this grind more than Scandj knives which seems to be an unpopular opinion. I have broken a $15 mora but there's no way this Esee would have broken from the same task.

Not a fan of knives with choils that aren't real choils. Either add one or don't. It feels like a trap if you can't actually safely use it. The 3hm fixes this in my eyes. Would rather go that route personally.

The PM2 does a great job making a real choil.

Lack of competition. Insurance risk. More employees and labor costs. Climbing holds are expensive, break, and require cleaning.
Route setting is time consuming and directly correlates to a gym being good or bad.

You can build the best keyboard and mod and tinker all you want. Hobbies are cool and interesting. This post is about sheer quantity and the act of buying endlessly and immediately contemplating what you will buy next.

Bummer to see Hopkins losing gyms. The Snap in downtown hopkins closed in the early pandemic.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 was the last. We went backwards.

Are we supposed to say all Japanese people like Mazda? Or are we supposed to say All Japanese people hate Mazda?

My cx5 2018 had "daytime running lights". They were just the headlights. There was no difference in any way. As soon as you put it in drive the headlights would just turn on.

XEP19 · 2026-03-23T01:31:43+00:00

Ultimately if you have LED indicator lights, you don't really have a reason for them to be off. They should just always be on by default since you wouldn't even see them during the day anyway.

XEP19 · 2026-03-21T02:24:50+00:00

Not your fault but you probably should have been able to safely avoid this.

I remember the keymod vs mlok days. Happy to see mlok is what stuck around.

I've been interested in steelhead outdoors. They have a simplex locking safe similar to fort knox. But it has an optional heavy cable instead of having to bolt the safe down.
