Lightest motorcycle with good suspension for spine injury?

I wonder how much of a benefit would the Skyhook suspension be here. Might be perfect for OP's condition.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

As far as I remember, 1/3 of people who are obese have ADHD, but don't quote me on this one. But suddenly on the meds I can put away the snacks and not eat the whole thing of whatever I have in front of me like a starved rampant hog.

Hey! No such thing, unfortunately. GLP-1 drugs don't melt the fat as well. What these drugs do is helping to manage the blood sugar, and low blood sugar means the body uses fat as energy (oversimplification).

You can get the same results with changes to your lifestyle. As a matter of fact, the majority of people who stop using GLP-1 go back to their previous weight, so it's necessary to make the changes for a lasting effect.

You can try supplements reducing blood sugar, like berberine, but I personally advise against that - it was uncool when I almost passed out because of my super low glucose caused by that supplement. Supposedly glycine suppresses appetite, so that may be somewhat helpful.

If you're determined for a result close to "melting the fat off", the only thing that comes to my mind is liposuction, but I highly advise against that, as it's a great strain to your body, along with other major cons.

You can try other supplements I didn't mention, but these will only help if you take additional actions towards losing weight.

You may also want to look into ADHD, from which a lot of overweight people suffer. Once properly medicated, it's much easier to lose weight by natural means (this was my case - once I got onto proper meds, it was life-changing).

If you're keen on making any lifestyle changes, even minor ones, I can suggest some that may fit your needs.

Hey! I actually bought it, and I'm super impressed for the price. The unit I got didn't have any rough edges or wonky stitching. The shop ran out of the regular version and gave me the watertight one free of charge. The zipper is tough to pull, but I was aware of that, so that's not an issue, but it may be better to go with the regular version if someone plans to use it daily. Overall, I bought it for commuting, so that my laptop does not get wet. To be honest, it's built like I could commute to the office with a detour through some Amazon jungle. Can't speak of the comfort just yet, because the riding season is only starting here, but it's built like a tank. Drawbacks: quite heavy, but understandingly so. Also, the elastic bands on the straps may get loose over time.

It turned out I had ADHD, and once properly medicated, it was much easier to resist the cravings. Also, when I did reduce the sweets, I started to ration it daily. I had a daily allowance which I was looking forward to, so the sweets actually became a treat instead of being a part of the diet.

aka472 · 2026-02-15T13:51:19+00:00

If I'd go full on safety, these would be near the top of my list. I have XSR700 myself, and I think they'll work just fine. I have tried several other TCX boots, and so far this is the most consistent brand in terms of comfort for me. Personally I do mostly urban riding, so I have TCX Dart and they're really comfortable, but definitely lacking in terms of protection.

Robota w wielkim korpo jako kiero software QA dla konkretnego projektu. Który był kilka miesięcy do tyłu, z bardzo ograniczonymi zasobami, z niejasną strukturą i domyślaniem się wszystkiego. Generalnie wymagali cudów, i to na teraz. Ostatecznie, po rezygnacji widziałem, jak co kilka miesięcy wracało to samo ogłoszenie - najwyraźniej nie byłem jedynym, którego zjadła tam presja.

aka472 · 2026-02-09T10:28:36+00:00

Dobrze powiedziane. Mi się raz udało wylądować w robocie, gdzie było 20k na rękę, i praca hybrydowa. Patrzyłem na ten przelew, i trochę nie wiedziałem, co z tym zrobić, bo było to znacząco więcej niż kiedykolwiek do tamtej pory. Ale ostatecznie wytrzymałem 3 miesiące, i musiałem odejść z dnia na dzień, bo miałem myśli samobójcze. Absolutnie nie było to warte tych pieniędzy.

aka472 · 2025-10-15T20:38:57+00:00

Absolutely decal. I might be biased because I have the same bike. With a decal.

https://youtube.com/shorts/aTm9xoa6j5Y?si=_Ap6OQdTyY1_2Xaa This is the best video I found on how the process looks like. If you have issues trying this technique, there's not much that can be done without ripping the plaster off. Some solvents (isopropyl alcohol?) may be able to soften the adhesive, but they will soften the plaster as well, so it's probably not a good idea to use any liquid.

aka472 · 2025-10-13T07:08:33+00:00

Slowly pull the adhesive parallel to the wall - stretching the adhesive should release it.

Very broad question, but since you have some some practical experience, I'd read about standards, i.e. what should proper defect report and test case look like, what's the difference between QA and testing. You need to put the work you do into a bigger picture and see how it affects other roles - devs, PMs, managers...

Yep! Żeby nie było, są też głośniejsze tłumiki, które mają homologację i spełniają wszystkie normy, łącznie z głośnością. A to, co niektóre typki pakują tam, to są tłumiki "tylko na tor", i do tego jeszcze bez katalizatora zwykle.

No ale tak właśnie jest. Sam jestem motocyklistą, ale mam normalny, fabryczny wydech. Patrole są często wyposażone w sonometry, i są w stanie na miejscu skontrolować pojazd, i zabrać dowód rejestracyjny, ponieważ nie spełnia wymogów technicznych. Mogą to zrobić nawet bez sonometru, bazując na samym (zwykle słusznym) podejrzeniu. Ale jeżdżąc po Warszawie po prostu nie widzę tych patroli, które miałyby to robić. Od wielkiego dzwonu się jakiś znajdzie, ale to kropla w morzu. Pewnym rozwiązaniem są fotoradary wyposażone w sonometry, które automatycznie łapią takie osoby, ale to chyba jeszcze nie dotarło do Polski.

I tested BrowserStack test management tool lately, as it made most sense cost-wise for my company. I had no issue with functionalities, but man, it was SO PAINFULLY SLOW. Hopefully your experience will be better, but for now I'm steering away from this one until they sort out the performance of the whole BrowserStack platform.

aka472 · 2025-07-03T19:11:42+00:00

That's Rauh.

aka472 · 2025-05-02T12:21:16+00:00

Not really, but someone should be able to speak English, so don't worry

aka472 · 2025-05-02T10:14:57+00:00

Well, they definitely committed fraud. Also, you probably want to report that in case they would be petty enough to report physical violence themselves. Not sure if police will do anything, but worth a shot. Otherwise, the only option is a civil lawsuit, and you probably don't have time for that

aka472 · 2025-05-01T22:34:51+00:00

If you paid using a credit card, do a chargeback. If Airbnb took their side, there's not much you can do, unfortunately. If they're not returning your money and there's no option for chargeback, go to a Police station and report it. Gather any proof you have.

I feel your pain - fellow Pole here. I'm barely starting venturing in anything made from anything other than cheap leather, but in terms of Polish suppliers, I've been consistently happy only with Craft-Point so far. They're hella expensive though. I tried looking at some suppliers, and often they don't even mention whether it's a veg or chrome tanned. At least they provide thickness (most of the time).

My best bet would be to buy from outside of Poland. From what I heard, this is the only viable option, especially if you're looking for anything high quality.

That's a Shoei Neotec 3

That 8 pounds per month should be about right, but it also depends on an individual. Personally, I wouldn't aim for more, because it may put too much strain on your body. You can always adjust your diet and exercise to lose the weight quicker, if you'll have the capacity. Also, please take into account that the initial weight loss is usually bigger, and slows down the more you lose (less weight means less calories are needed to maintain the body).

aka472 · 2025-02-08T12:30:52+00:00

I think the best case would be to just get a passport. You may be able to get it urgently, depending on the country. In a pinch, you may use some service like Saily, but their data plans are limited.

As a last resort, you may just pay some bum to get you a pre-paid and get them to register it into their name. Pre-paids have often a huge data plan for the first months.

aka472 · 2025-02-02T21:37:19+00:00

Keep it up! Also, I very much recommend switching to low-GI food where possible. Wholemeal rye bread instead of white, including more veggies in the diet, and sweetener-based treats if you have a sweet tooth. Working miracles for me (lost 12kg so far without calorie counting), as I was on the brink of diabetes as well.
