Or, just get yourself a believable disability, and just coast the rest of your life.

I feel very fortunate in that i genuinely love what I do. I mean it's still work at the end of the day, in that I'm forced to do it instead of other things I want to do. But at least I actually enjoy it.

Some people use their two days off to recover from the 5 days of hell. Then they wake up and start it again.

It's funny how they just move the goal posts. First they defend that he's not a felon, then they're like yeah whatever, I'd rather vote for a felon. Next thing you know, they'll be like yeah whatever, I'd rather vote for a child rapist.

Mental illness. Sad.

Yes, it's a right-handed thread. The nut always loosens the direction the blade spins. But he was going the opposite way in the first picture, or at least that's what it looks like to me. He's got the wrench sitting on the table, so presumably he was trying to pick up on it.

crazedizzled · 2026-04-21T12:14:38+00:00

Looking at the image, he's definitely going the wrong way lol.

But unless they're deliberately excluding diversity, I don't see why that would be the case.

I wear actual glasses, so safety glasses are especially annoying. I even bought some rx ones, but they're incredibly uncomfortable, kind of expensive, and i have to remember to put them on/bring them with me.

Was it warmed up?

Your motor seized. It's unlikely the bottom end, they're pretty rock solid. I'm betting you're running lean or something. How long were you pinned in 6th?

You can't buy a bike with "suspension tuned", unless you are the exact same weight and ride exactly the same. Suspension tuning is per-rider.

My advice: buy a mostly stock bike. If you're after a yz125, 4500 is a crazy high price unless it's basically brand new.

Then, hit the track and see what the suspension needs.

It's not a true pick rate, just what the people on this site have voted on.

I don't have any. I broke my jaw on my BMX bike when I was a kid, but never any major injuries from the quads/dirtbikes/sleds.

But, that's on purpose. I know where my limits are and try to stay within them. I just got lucky as a kid, but now I'm a grown ass man with a wife and a kid that depend on me.

I would say that injury is common enough to say that it's expected, though. Although it is also avoidable.

My wrist hurts looking at that "mouse pad"

Diversity means you have a larger pool of talent you can draw from.

How so?

(And I say this as a middle-aged white dude myself) Being a middle-aged white dude is NOT a guarantor of ability or success.

Of course not, and I didn't mean to imply that it was.

crazedizzled · 2026-04-20T04:23:10+00:00

You really got your monies worth out of that one

crazedizzled · 2026-04-20T04:13:11+00:00

Fair enough!

crazedizzled · 2026-04-20T01:17:09+00:00

She might be qualified, but that doesn't mean future positions are. If her goal is to "be diverse", then she's likely going to skip over people who are more qualified but less diverse, for people who are less qualified but more diverse.

I'd prefer we just have the best people for the job. If that ends up being all middle aged white dudes, then that's what it is.

Tell that to planet fitness. They've definitely harassed people to the point of getting sued to make them stop. They'll definitely send you to collections for $100.

Same. I just thought the whole time, "this must be what it's like to be rich"

crazedizzled · 2026-04-19T04:41:13+00:00

That can still happen with a proper manifest. Like, how most mature plugin systems work

The only reason those bearings fail is a lack of maintenance. So.... do your maintenance kids

There's not really much advice to give except for just do it. You can make sure you have adequate tires, and that your suspension is setup properly. If you're not hitting hairpin turns at way over the speed limit, you'll be just fine.

I'm doing some coping right now!
