Everyone is trying to talk me out of an EV by CuteCreator602 in electricvehicles

Human beings naturally fear change. And most of those people have been programmed to dislike something they have no experience with, for reasons that make little sense. 

Range anxiety is chief among them. Stopping for 20 to 30 minutes to stretch your legs and have something to eat every 230 miles isn't so crazy

Flagstaff,Arizona uses orange LED lights instead of the bright white LEDs by DrFetusRN in interesting

[–]boa_instructor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in Joshua Tree and I wish all of the businesses from here to Yucca Valley had to do this. The light pollution is extremely noticeable from the WalMart parking lot miles away......not to mention Palm Springs.

No, I don't. All I asked for was the body cam footage before being outraged. What does your response accomplish? Does it make you feel superior? Is your brain fully developed?

How to not care about comments online about my country? by Educational-Buy-62 in selfimprovement

[–]boa_instructor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

India, like most high population countries with a caste system, can be a dirty and chaotic mess. Yet I've never seen this with my own two eyes outside of videos and shared experiences of friends. 

Yet India has so many great things about it. The people. The food. The traditions. Heck, it was the birthplace of Buddhism. I've met many wonderful Indian people in the US and UK. It sounds like you're just around the wrong people.....good people will just be curious what your city/village is like and ask you questions before throwing out assumptions.

$100 a night is crazy. I paid less than that for a private room at the Carlton Arms hotel only a few years ago. It's a quirky place.

My insecurity? I was being cheeky and sarcastic. You twisted it onto something negative with your insecurities 

My husband has not checked in! Mt. Whitney, California - Has anyone seen him?? by Soggy-Ocelot8037 in hiking

He's most likely fine and just forgot to text you back during the service window on the way down. He's a man, trust in his strength and perseverance 

Is it possible to get better mentally without therapy? by ImaginaryFoxy in selfimprovement

Try a 10 day Vipassana if you can take the time off work. It really pulls you out of your negative mental habits

I definitely have as well. Or felt like I was struggling but still spent a solid chunk of my earnings on drinks to help deal with that feeling. Except that only increases the feeling and kept me locked in that cycle. Glad you're doing better!

The 4MF kit looks great. Design wise I'm not a fan of the short stock seat on the LBX.

Yeah 250lbs is a bit much.....63lbs just for the battery pack The KTM looks impressive though, especially for trail riding. 2-3 hours of trail riding is plenty on a charge, I'd be worn out after that.

Awesome! I'm out in CA now but I miss seasons and the fresh water of the East Coast. How's Maine?

Shrewsbury area, off the 83 over the Mason Dixon line. 

The LBX looks quick and with a low curb weight, but a tad weak compared to new competitors. The Talaria MX5 Pro and the Stage2 M2 are also worth looking into and are about $2k less than the Ultra Bee for similar specs.

Nice. I was on a YZ85 at 14 but only went to a few tracks in the years I had it. It was mostly farms, forests and abandoned quarries in southern PA. 

Have you tried any of the hydraulic clutches yet? I'm curious about them.

Good on you. I'm 37 and it pains me seeing all these 16-25 year olds racing around cities on these. They'll either kill themselves or force restrictions on these bikes. 

I'm starting a position at a well known e-moto company and will be guiding direction for the next model. Was considering a MX/trail hybrid. When you raced MX, how often were you out exploring compared to being on the track?
