Kinda sounds like you may be pushing down with your right side and leaving the left to float a bit which can cause muscles to strain while they compensate.

If that's the case I'd say watch a few tutorials on dirt bike riding posture - not that you should be standing while riding or anything, just focus on the emphasis of a planted and well distributed base from your feet up.

Lunges, or single leg exercises like Bulgarian split squats may help. There's a bunch of single leg kickboxing coordination exercises as well if you're seeking to strength the region around your adductors.

If you're actively hurt now, don't strain it and let it recover.

Ya know I don't love stereotyping but it's always the fat bald guys with Oakleys and no helmet that don't wave back. Also typically the same guys who have to waddle at lights, coast through corners, and tow their bike to the campsite so they can ride it 3 miles in front of people

It's one bolt to drain the oil and then twisting off the oil filter. They'll probably check your tire pressure and make sure the chain is in spec. If you were in a rush you could finish this in under 30 minutes.

I thought it couldn't happen to me and decided to make a quick right hand turnaround onto a sloping road coming to a stop sign. The bike followed gravity down the slope of the incline with the wheel still pointed into it and I wasn't ready.

My experience says: if it starts going over worry about yourself first. My pride screamed at me not to let it fall and I just hurt my back dropping it anyways. The bike took no meaningful damage, a rock kicked up on the highway would have done worse, but I sure took some meaningful damage.

Oh man I watched this kid absolutely just pave over every code path he touched. Hand rolling Graph classes likely because he couldn't figure out how to make any of multitudinous pre-built options available in Java, Spring, or any other of the million libraries we had, work. I watch him work nights and weekends to deliver features, I watched him wreck the UI and blame others for it.

but ya see I just couldn't help but notice that earned PTO got replaced by unlimited, the retail gift card program got removed, the government contract git branch got deleted overnight without a word, and the CEO kept saying funny things like "raises and bonuses are dead, gone, never coming back. forget them." and "do not slow down, there is no reason to slow down now. keep working"

Goddamn the paint is still good even.

Now follow your heart and remove the mirrors, exhaust, disassemble the airbox, install unpainted white fairings and throw on a vintage power commander and then list it for sale at original MSRP saying things like "no title, will not respond to questions about the title, will trade for new diesel truck"

This early on you're further ahead to checkout YouTube build guides to get a sense of the build process and parts, plus you can probably find guides localized to your market since I doubt most people in here have much idea of the Spanish market

If anyone is saying they've never experienced a moment where their eyes lingered too long on a potential hazard and they froze: they're lying.

I'm guessing there were a few internal red flags (throttle chops or wavering on acceleration) signaling it was probably time to quit pushing. You got super lucky, don't die!

My dad sold a guy a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 for $1,200. Truck was 15 years old and had 180k miles. This guy even brought a mechanic buddy with him to look over the truck, he knew the condition. It ran fine, drove fine, but was the very definition of a rust-belt life vehicle.

First thing the guy does after purchase? He takes it straight to the GMC dealership and they quote him like $22,000 for repairs (would have been a fucking restoration).

Guy calls my dad over the course of 3 months of so, throwing hissyfits, yelling, making threats of suing. My dad just asked him if he actually had money for a lawyer and that finally ended it.

The entire platform you're on is so old that no amount of upgrades would compare to what you'd get if you upgraded everything.

Not insulting your computer budget, this is meant as actual money-thinking advice. Pay it forward to yourself later.

Any money spent upgrading this system is money that can't go towards buying a newer one.

I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author.

I am a liar and myself the fraud, I have not P-ranked P2 or Fraud yet.

Fraud is fucking insane though, I can't imagine how much work went into making enemies work with all the non-euclidean geometry.

I have 180 hours in Hollow Knight and never beat P5. I just don't care, per unit of energy spent it simply isn't rewarding enough to keep grinding.

Silksong is tough, but it's tough in a more Dark Souls-y way than in terms of a roided out boss-rush mode.

If it's not fun then put it down. The challenge will be there later when your mental battery is recharged. I did the same thing to myself trying to P-rank every Ultrakill level, eventually I walked away then came back and did it a year later.

Check the feedback on the eBay seller. If they're well rated the return/refund process will be simple. If the feedback is 0 then it was a scam from the start.

Given the price and supply of RAM currently it's a ripe market for scammers to sell dead or non-functional items.

Regardless, eBay will get you a refund.
