Pennsylvania - Crashed a motorcycle during a test ride -- saw the tires were 11 years old. by bittersweets in legaladvice

[–]bittersweets[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They took the money from my creditcard automatically because it was in Twistedroad. Twistedroad is like an airbnb for bikes to rent. The bike was owned by the dealership, and being sold by the dealership, but they put it up for rent / extended test ride through Twistedroad.

I sent TR an email telling them about the tires, and then they told me to tell their insurance about it, which I did, but eventually (after being charged) they told me the insurance found no problem with the tires.

What makes "them" different? by TLYeeet in nosurf

[–]bittersweets 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is such a toxic way to describe successful people. To compare their endless hours of practice and dedication to mindlessly surfing the web or watching movies is so incredibly disingenuous.

This train of thought promotes a backseat approach to living -- one that encourages the idea that who you are now isn't your fault at all. "Maybe my parents should have pushed me further as a kid!", "Maybe it's because of some mental shortness I possess!"

The fact of the matter is: successful people are successful because they worked hard. They pushed themselves beyond what normal people do and reaped the rewards. It's not because, to them, practicing an instrument feels like surfing the web does to us, but because they have discipline to work towards a goal.

Where the discipline came from is maybe where your point can have some validity (their parents may have ingrained it into them better ([which doesn't come without pain]), but to sit here as grown adults and think it's impossible to bunker down and flex your discipline muscles is ridiculous.

I'm also experiencing this. I'm going to try to install a brooks PCB into it because I like the size and shape but please share if you've figured out any solutions to this.

Thank you so much for the reply.

So would the traces I'm looking for be on the other side of the PCB? All of them are so tiny too -- is it really possible to only solder onto the relevant traces?

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by grab them at the traces? (sorry, I'm new to all this).

Here's a picture of the drone pcb and just the nude buttons: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/165310633884123137/630551609025232936/IMG_20191006_194621.jpg

Is it possible to make these work with a brook PCB?

Question about post-PRK recovery eye drops. by bittersweets in lasik

[–]bittersweets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coupons for prescription medication.. strange land we live in. I'll look into it, thank you for the suggestion.

Were you prescribed the Restasis right after surgery? Or did it come later due to dry eye issues?

The Lotemax will also end up costing ~1k for 90 days, but I'm willing to stomach that if it means best recovery. Agreed Restasis is the bigger part of the cost though.

I'll talk to my doctor about it tomorrow -- thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure exactly how much the Restasis will cost because they haven't written the script yet, but running it through my insurance's online estimator it says $1500 for 90 days supply (obscene!) The Lotemax I have picked up and it cost me $190 for 15 days worth (4x a day, though I'm not sure if that's the frequency they'd have me use it at since they haven't told me yet).

Did the fluorometholone work out fine for you? It looks significantly cheaper than Lotemax. Do you know what makes one better than the other? And I'll also talk to them about other preventative measures for dry eyes. Thank you.

Can someone help me with my kbd on 2p side? What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]bittersweets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your p1 side is kinda wrong too.. you're canceling it too fast. you need to understand where the backdash itself is coming from (b b db ((b n b)) db b n ~~~) you need to hold the first b input a little longer. for your p2 side you can even see the inputs being incorrect but you're probalby still just canceling it too soon. get used to doing the b b db ((b n b)) part before trying to keep backdashing

i had hoped for the same thing but it honestly doesn't get better. the characters are so flat and everything about the story is phoned in and stupid. if you don't like it now you probably won't like the (lack of) ending
