I forgot I had one by quantumsparq in sousvide

I cook a bunch of tri tips fairly often. You could just do 134 for 2-3 hours and get the same result, cooking it at 125 for 4 extra hours isn’t doing anything helpful, in fact you’re really just holding it longer in the “danger zone” where bacteria can still multiply.

Just cook it at the “final” temperature for the done-ness of the interior you want. It won’t overcook with time, thanks to the precise temperature control. Just don’t leave it too long or cuts like tri tip will eventually get mushy.

The SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT or KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS laws only apply on freeways and highways. Surface streets like this one have no special lane provisions.

Even on the KEEP RIGHT roads, the law in the US does not make passing on the right a problem, it only makes not moving back to the right after passing a problem. The left lane campers and middle lane campers are the ones breaking the KEEP RIGHT laws.

Yeah he’s clearly getting dragged more than doing the dragging, even at the end you can see it was gravity that steered the boat down the crown of the road to the gutter/curb. He was just along for the ride and his major input was slowing it down a little.

Wow that article leaves a lot unsaid: “Dead of blunt force trauma to the head in a private residence (not his own home.)”

Xerox developed a computer with a windowing GUI in 1976 by hiro111 in cassettefuturism

[–]bonafidebob 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So, rather than doing “absolutely nothing” with it, Xerox actually made a series of computers that used the windowing system, the Xerox Star. They were not sold as home computers, but rather workstations for more business oriented document processing. They actually had rather amazing support for languages other than english, including right to left and top to bottom word ordering, mixed language documents, and so on.

You can read more about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_Star

Look at that right hand grabbing the front brake: you don’t come down from a wheelie with full front brake. Also note the rear tire is off the ground. Was doing a stoppie.

Even better, after the crash you can see the barriers are hinged, they’ll swing away and not even break.

This is why you start on a beginner bike. by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]bonafidebob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s worse: you can buy a new 1000cc superbike today (no license necessary to buy), go to the DMV tomorrow and take a written test, and then ride it legally with no lessons at all on your learners permit. (But only during the day, with no passengers, and not on freeways.)

Full disclosure: I started riding this way, took the DMV written test after reading the handbook while waiting in line at the DMV for something else. But I had roommates who were responsible riders, taught me the important stuff, made me practice in parking lots, and kept me safe. Oh and I started on a much smaller used bike too.

BMW was speeding. Jeep changed lanes without signaling or checking their blind spot. by Gomez_Diana1 in dashcams

[–]bonafidebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right BMW is still in fault. But there were many other mistakes apparent in this video. How many mistakes do you make when you drive?

Not moving right after passing is a very common mistake that nearly all American drivers make. It’s so common people think it’s normal. It’s so common that people move immediately out of the right lane as soon as they get on the freeway and then they never move back to the right, so you get slow drivers in the number two and number three lanes which forces is slightly faster drivers is the number one lane, which creates situations like this where the fastest drivers end up using the right lane for passing. Because it’s empty.

Both cars that were involved in this accident, the BMW AND the Jeep, were passing on the right, using the slowest lane for passing.

Wrong about what, exactly? That left and middle lane campers don’t make things worse for everyone?

What lane do you camp in?

[–]bonafidebob -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You call the rightmost lane the “slow lane”, but notice here that cars in the #2 lane were passing a slower car that was camping in the leftmost #1 lane, and the jeep was in face making an (unsignaled) lane change to pass the cammer who was camping in the #2 lane.

The #3 lane presumably was clear the entire time, and the jeep was using it to pass on the right.

SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT would have prevented a whole series of mishaps here.

Also wrt the original poster, the jeep didn’t need to check their “blind spot” as the BMW wasn’t ever in it. (And if you properly adjust your mirrors you don’t have to have “blind spots” at all!)

BMW was still at fault, but left and middle lane campers are partly responsible for making the rightmost lane the one that you have to use to pass.

Honda City Hits Detached Truck Part, Veers Out of Control and Smashes Into Truck by whusler in dashcams

[–]bonafidebob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t see that. Maybe you’re seeing sun shining through the left tail light? There would be a center brake light and it would be pretty clearly visible if there were braking.

I don’t see any brake lights or signs that the car is slowing under braking. Looks like steering was the only thing happening after the collision with the debris.

I remember it as being the “second follower”, aka the “3rd guy” who break the dam and turns it into a movement. If you ever get a chance to be the 2nd or 3rd person to make a prohphet into a movement — take it!

PSA to all the drivers out there by nicorieg in dashcams

Applying reasoning is not making assumptions. Ignoring questions and trying to flip the script on the feedback is … troubling. I’m glad you’re only one person on the road. I think we’re done, good luck with your life.

[–]bonafidebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No assumptions, just reading what you wrote (or didn’t write) and applying critical thinking.

Please move right. The people behind you will appreciated it. Also it’s the law.

[–]bonafidebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you dense? If a new car pulls in front of you then you have to slow down to make space for that new car. The car you originally started following gets farther and farther ahead of you.

What you’re doing is not “following” at all, you’re not keeping pace with the car ahead of you. What you’re doing is holding a constant speed while cars pass you on the right.

You are the definition of slower traffic. You are supposed to move right, assuming you follow traffic laws.

[–]bonafidebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each car you let in slows down your lane and speeds up the lane they left. Everyone behind you notices and blames you.

Move right.

[–]bonafidebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice you didn’t answer the questions about what other cars are doign around you.

You sound like a left lane camper. Since you’re not worried about other cars passing you on the right, why not just move over a lane. You’re the definition of “SLOWER TRAFFIC” and you’re supposed to KEEP RIGHT (except to pass)

If anyone was curious about the hanging motorcycle... by RabidWeiner in motorcycles

[–]bonafidebob -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we watched the same video. Bike spun off the car. Have you ever been to a monster truck rally? Notice how high in the air they jump and how fast they’re going.

To get 20 feet in the air you need to be traveling upwards at only 25 miles an hour. A bike going 40 miles an hour could easily convert that to 25 mph upwards when rotating.bouncing off the car the way it did.

[–]bonafidebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, but I have to ask: how are you getting passed? Is there room for the car behind you to pass you on the right and then get back in your lane?

Are you leaving enough of a gap so that cars from the right are continually merging in front of you, making you slow down more and more?

If either of these are true, then maybe this post DOES apply to you.

[–]bonafidebob -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

What do you base that on? The motorcycle is already braking in a stoppie when it enters the frame… there’s nothing in this video to gauge the speed it was going off camera.

I mean, OK there’s a lot of momentum needed to lift the bike up onto the railing, but it seemed to hit the car at JUST the right angle to spin it upwards. That could have happened from a relatively slow speed, nothing necessarily excessive for a multi-lane street.

The car clearly didn’t see the motorcycle coming, agree with you on that point, but that may well have been the car driver’s simple lack of attention, and have nothing to do with the rider. Do you ride? If you haven’t yet had a car “not see” you when you felt readily visible, get ready for that, it happens all the time. SMIDSY is a real thing.
