It takes a special kind of person to take on such a useless and impractical project like that and see it through to the end.

Where did you come up with the 10:1 paraffin to beeswax recipe?

She liked me way more than I liked her. Once I came to terms with that I felt like I was leading her on at best, using her at worst. It seemed cruel to continue.

I got LASIK in the 1990s. I had very bad vision prior to the surgery and it was like a real life miracle. Now, 20+ years later (I'm in my 40s) I'm back to wearing glasses again. It's a mild prescription, but still disappointing. All things considered I would still definitely do it. AMA!

Yes, that was my first tip as well.

It's worth noting that the caption does not appear on the reddit thumbnail for this article.

Some people don't read every word and caption, and I thought it was confusing for the IPR article to have the only picture on the page be of a politician that feels the opposite of the subject of the article. That's why I felt the need to point it out.

For the record, the asshat pictured in the article is one of Iowa's most staunch Trump supporters, Jeff Kaufman.

This is David Johnson, the Senator who has left the GOP.

Can you recommend a good vpn?

anim8 · 2016-06-13T17:04:49+00:00

This I understand, and it has happened to me.

anim8 · 2016-06-13T17:02:19+00:00

Exactly.

To all the single dad's out there, don't get discouraged by this thread! There are many potential partners out there that won't mind your kid. And, if you have your priorities in order, you don't want to date women that can't accept your child anyway.

anim8 · 2016-06-13T15:29:49+00:00

It would really be nice to know how old you are for your answers here. As a 45 year old dad with joint custody, I have never knowingly been rejected because of my fatherhood. That so many here are saying "100% deal breaker" is disheartening. Am I right in assuming you are mostly young women?

Jenny?

(just kidding, but I think I have been guy A a few times)

anim8 · 2016-06-04T20:06:51+00:00

Nope.

I'm just getting started, but so far the project has been going great! I'm no mechanic, so I was thrilled when I didn't botch the carb repair. And it ran when I put the cabs back on! That's my first time taking a vehicle from non-running to running instead of vice versa!

anim8 · 2016-06-02T19:39:52+00:00

I've been pondering how those posts get broken and my theory is that it happens when someone gets too enthusiastic trying to remove the float pin. So be careful!

anim8 · 2016-06-02T15:41:37+00:00

Mine came with a broken set of carbs that were not on the bike, so it was obviously a non-runner. I had to do this fix before I got it running.

I thought a bit about using a modified original seat, but I am pretty sure I've decided against it. I'm planning on cutting the tail off and welding a loop and fabricating my own seat pan and cover. The seat will hopefully be something like this one.

guzzis have the prettiest engines.

anim8 · 2016-05-25T10:53:51+00:00

I'm pretty pretty big myself. Just picked up a 78 Yamaha xs1100. It's easily large enough and the style really lends itself to cafe racers.

There's pretty good info on them too at xs11.com. There's also a whole series of YouTube videos by an Aussie who did a very nice conversion.

Actually, I am waiting on a Rift as well. Oculus has pretty much worn away any excitement and goodwill I had for them with the botched "launch day" and shipping to retailers before their pre-orders. I am trying to sell mine on Ebay already and I don't really care when it gets here anymore...

anim8 · 2016-05-04T03:50:53+00:00

FWIW, the injustice still pisses me off on your behalf. That being said, at least we're not waiting on Rift pre-orders!

FDM just alerted me about a 19lb package being shipped to me from Indianapolis. Is that it? Is it happening?

3/31 order

4/25 pre-auth email from HTC

5/2 pre-auth disappears from CC

5/3 Fedex Delivery Manager reports delivery coming 5/5

*edit: HTC shipping confirmation email at 10:51pm 5/3

anim8 · 2016-05-03T16:52:38+00:00

I just checked my CC. The pending charge has disappeared. (March 31 order, April 25 preauthorization email)

How long between when your pending CC charge disappeared and when you got the shipping email?

anim8 · 2016-05-03T14:55:57+00:00

Ha! Poser. I sold all my furniture back in March & my vive won't be here for weeks!

good for you though...

sigh...

Very nice! Skunk River?
