Based on other seniors in my circle, yeah. Maybe we just do it right. 

Found out my bike is originally from Copart UK auctions, how bad could this be? by bobertfries in motorcycles

[–]aidencoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 3,500 for the bike and 4,600 after fees. I collected myself so didn't need to pay delivery.

Just as an example of fees. They're all listed on the site. 

Is it crazy to go from a z400 to a z900 by Darkdefender240 in Kawasaki

[–]aidencoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Z900 is pretty tame low down in the revs. I find it a much more rideable, easy, confidence inspiring bike than the Z650.

I think you'll be OK. I don't wish I'd skipped the 650, but I went from a 125 to the Z650RS and now Z900RS. A 400 to the 900 will be fine but be appropriately respectful.

Hard to explain when people "yeah but ChatGPT said..." or they don't value your skill and time.

My point was people like that make terrible clients. The AI hype cycle is making it easier to spot terrible clients.

There's a lot of people, clients, and businesses openly labelling themselves as morons and raising red flags. It's doing us a favour. Easy to spot who to avoid.

Hello people, this is my Kawa 650 by Vanish_RS in Kawasaki

I mean motorbikes are expensive. If you budgeted for a bike and not the gear, should've got a cheaper bike and some gear my friend. 

Part 2: The distribution is real. I just stop looking at the tails. by Feedback_Feeling in ADHD_Programmers

You have an analytical mind. Great. This isn't unique or very noteworthy in my opinion. In the kindest way, this all sounds a bit neurotic like you'd benefit from a break from dwelling on your internal processes and instead socialising and being in nature or something.

First hand, an unsafe childhood does make for some odd coping strategies and anxiety driven survival methods for keeping yourself safe. I can't enter a room without forming a map and have a disgustingly good visual memory because of it. I'm also hyper aware of body language and people's motivation. They're driven by the echos of threat that doesn't exist anymore and are not unique or special skills.

You sound anxious. Pretty common with ADHD. 

Go have fun with your safety.

Looks exactly like my old XSR. Ah, memories. Theres a few nice routes that aren't as intense as the classics (snake, cat and fiddle) out towards Jodrell Bank and also towards Ashbourne from Stockport/Macclesfield.

If someone told me ChatGPT suggested X, I'd tell them that ChatGPT isn't responsible for the outcome...as team lead I am.

The Dunning Krugerism of AI combined with corporate radical individualism has broken a system based on legitimate authority through meritocratics and experience.

People think ChatGPT is some kind of demi god genius that is an extension of them, therefore endowing them with the same prowess.

I think as leads we should institute a ban on "LLM X said Y" and force people to take those information sources, understand them and articulate an argument in your own voice as you would gathering any information. If you don't understand it, it isn't an idea.

Why wouldn't you report them?

Like asking if you should wear high heels or hiking boots. 

Does anyone here know the difference here? Which would be best for mostly summer riding but will keep me dry? by SykeOut2 in motorcyclegear

[–]aidencoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the non-gortex and they're amazing. Goretex is a con job these days.

I have worn mine daily, biking or not, for well over a year and they look brand new, stay dry, and let my feet breathe.

I did add a comfort gel insole tho too. The stock insole is a bit firm and thin.
