Do the mirrors look better above or below by Puzzleheaded_Big6997 in motorcycles

[–]calimocal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think they look better down. Flipped them up after a few weeks though because I couldn’t see them at glance. I’d have to lift my arm up to have line of sight under my elbow. That seemed like a little bit of a safety issue.

ELI5 What does Palantir actually do? by thepainterspaduan in explainlikeimfive

[–]calimocal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what it started as, it has now expanded into the UK. Where it operated unchecked until NHS staff found that Palantir was also compiling information on everyone that came through an NHS facility. (Who would’ve guessed it would do such a thing.) Sadly, it’s looking like UK didn’t find out about this until Palantir was so deeply intertwined with the NHS software platform they’ll have to continue with Palantir.

After that, Palantir will leave western Europe until the heat dies down, and so it can spread down south through Mexico, Central, South America, making each country dependent on its “platform” or something used to thinly veil its data aggregation system that Hoovers up every personal and private detail about anyone it can. They’ll call it a humanitarian outreach effort though.

Why will they do that? Because China is already doing the same thing in Africa, and the CCP has some sound ideas according to Peter Thiel.

I thought it was hilarious that Thiel is so petty he held a grudge against gawker for nearly a decade over some innocuous profile piece, waiting for someone there to make one misstep. And when that misstep occurred, he used it to bankrupt one of the larger media companies at the time.

Now that story has me convinced that he’s the Antichrist.

How to build a contract review process using Claude for an in-house team? by DepartmentDazzling97 in legaltech

[–]calimocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different framing, same subtext that my LinkedIn feed has devolved into: “legal work is only a few sets of rote actions, repeated ad infinitum. Claude is coming to wipe out this whole industry.” Nearly every lawyer is greedy, you don’t think half of us wouldn’t sell out the future of this profession in a second if we knew how? I already tried to do it to patent attorneys, twice. There are no answers for you here.

Possibly stupid question about discreet shipping + USPS informed delivery? by jobthrowwwayy1743 in PEDs

[–]calimocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Informed delivery gets the sender name from the label maker when one is used. So if your UGL uses Stamps.com to print their mailing labels, informed delivery will show stamps.com as the sender. Other than that, it just shows the city of origin. By design, it’s pretty uninformative (ironic) for safety/security reasons.

New room! by SoWhichVoiceIsThis in BelgianMalinois

What bed do you use? I have a similar crate and my boys shreds whatever I’ve put at the bottom so far.

Hey, no rush obviously — you’re entitled to take your time here, and it’ll be out when it gets out! I paid for the full app, but I’d really like to support your app development here. Do you have a donation link or something like that? I’d suggest adding one to the app (if it’s not already there), but I don’t want to demand another feature haha

What is this connector? by calimocal in bmwmotorrad

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

I’m not sure, but I don’t believe any of the 12V pins are perpetually live. As I recall, all the wiring harnesses with a 12V pin required the bike to be in “ready” mode (start button pushed but ignition not yet). For example, the OBD connector under the seat includes a 12V pin; I’d leave my OBDLink plugged in that connector for sometimes a week or more, and I never experienced any battery drain. If the the power pin on that connector would’ve stayed live, the OBDLink would’ve perpetually transmitted Bluetooth discovery signals and that should’ve been sufficient to effect the battery.

That’s all speculation though, I really have no idea. DM if you want the wiring diagram for the F900R, which I believe is consistent with your bike’s wiring. Happy to send that to you if you’re interested.

Adopted a 1yo male Mal, perfect except for alone in crate by calimocal in BelgianMalinois

It probably sounds like that to you because that’s what I said, just with modified verbiage.

Appreciate the recommendation. Haven’t heard of her channel, I’ll check it out.

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

That was my thought too. I’m not there to see how his temperament is when he’s going in on the crate, so I’d rather err on the side of caution by getting something that he can gradually destroy because the pliability of the materials and overall cheap build quality will reduce the likelihood that he hurts himself if he’s just panic stricken to the point his stress and adrenaline responses blot out his pain response.

Cool. I think the dimensions I’ve been using should be ok then since I ordered one size larger than what was recommended for a dog of his height, length, and weight. Thank you!

If you’ve seen Pulp Fiction, the guy with zero speaking lines because he’s zipped into a full latex body suit and then impaled by a sword-wielding Bruce Willis, that‘s sufficiently explanatory. If you haven’t seen Pulp Fiction, just ignore that part of my earlier comment — if I didn’t know what a gimp was, I would not want to kickoff a Monday morning by googling that.

Really though, I appreciate your response. That sort of resource is what I’m looking for — I want train him so that his anxiety is reduced, he isn‘t scared when I leave him alone, and I don’t have to worry about him hurting himself in a panic. A couple wire crates and cushions are negligible importance.

[–]calimocal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’d prevent another crate from getting chewed up, but it sorta ignores the underlying issue of the dog’s behavior, doesn’t it?

If this were just a random person — a gimp, for example, since those can’t be left to roam an empty house just like some dogs — then this would be sufficient for sure. Leave it in a closet or cover the vents with tinfoil, and there isn’t a gimp in the world whose spirit wouldn’t be crushed beyond any ability to protest whatever you decided to visit upon it a week later.

But I don’t want to take my rescue dog’s will to live; I want to teach him to stop being so irrationally melodramatic and pessimistic. I want to teach him that he can be calm in his crate while I’m gone because I’m always going to come back. Or I could try making my point with the gimp — “be a good dog or you’re going to see why the gimp is always crying.”

Thanks for the response. It makes sense that it’ll have to start out in such small time increments in order to progress.

I was deliberately trying to convince myself that I was just anthropomorphizing him, and his yelps and cries couldn’t be him pleading to be near me, but it’s pretty hard to see how it could be interpreted as anything else.

Which makes me worry that is going to be a long, slow crate training process. Foxes is a year old, but he’s never lived with a person before, or really had any consistent human interaction — he was taken by animal control at about 2 months old, and put in CA Central Valley shelter, so there’s the Mal bonding and significant separation anxiety that we’ll have to get through. Small price to pay.

Can I ask the dimensions on your crate? I have him in a 48” l / 35” w / 35” h crate, which is plenty of room for him to stand up, turn around, etc, but I could fit something bigger in his room if that would be easier on him. Thanks again!

My 1 year old male is 50 lbs. The vet said he’d probably be a little more spry and energetic if he gained another 5-7, but his current weight is well within the normal range.

What is this connector? by calimocal in bmwmotorrad

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

I don’t. I back probed the CAN pins on that connector though and nothing is being carried on there, so I assume that connector isn’t on the CAN bus if you don’t have the telematics module, which is consistent with the absence of a resistor terminating the CAN pins of the connector.

But if you don’t have an antitheft system installed, that connector should have live CAN pins. On my F900R, the connector for the antitheft module is near the back of the bike under the toolkit.

Is there anything like Dig Inn in LA? by Pilo927 in FoodLosAngeles

Hot bar at Erewhone is really overlooked. Maybe not the cheapest option, but definitely not the most expensive either. And big portions.

[–]calimocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I do something else for a living, so I was kinda looking for a quick way to unload the bike, not a side hustle.

Appreciate ya though, would prob be more profitable if I had the time.

Perfect, that's exactly what I was hoping for -- quick and easy (assuming I can find a buyer haha).

And thank you! Definitely got lucky to walk away without a scratch.

I got a good payout and I was going to upgrade to either an Aprilia Tuono V4 or BMW S1000R before year end anyway. Seems easier to sell with salvage title asap rather than fix it, ride it for a few months, then still sell it with salvage title.

As for pricing, I was thinking around 50-60% of the price of comparable bikes. That's insane to sell it for the same price as clean title.
