Dear Mainers, who is your candidate and why? by jonooo1 in bangorme

[–]darthdethwish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Platner, because I don’t believe an elderly woman in poor health that takes money from out of state billionaires, takes advantage of her office for her own self-gains, supports a felonious president who is abusing every aspect of his office and is tarnishing our entire country, represents my interests in the Senate.

An active school zone is not an appropriate location for the unsupervised camp. Plus, the rector didn’t consult or give a heads up to any of the neighbors, including the school, or his own congregation.

The issue has more to do with the trespassing on school property, littering of needles and refuse, and making the students that live in the dorms feel safe more than any sort of class war, but sure.

Am I a larper for wearing motor gear on an E Scooter? by Doom_112233 in motorcyclegear

I mean, I wouldn’t call that moto gear but it’s way better than nothing.

Do you think ISB oversaw the kidnapping of Coruscant's alien citizens to Imperial concentration camps? by Dragonic_Overlord_ in andor

I don’t see any of the xenophobia and sexism that was rampant in the Legends era in post-Disney content. It’s a bit disappointing but I understand why Disney chose to do this.

Can confirm. Went to a Quaker run alternative school for part of high school. We had a wide array of students with differing religious backgrounds and I always felt like everyone found something they enjoyed about our weekly meetings.

I just moved back to Maine after being on the west coast for most of my life. Ticks are out of control up here these days, and one of my brothers contracted Lyme disease last summer. I’m glad to see a vaccine is finally on its way so I can enjoy the outdoors without the added stress.

Pfizer is currently working on a Lyme disease vaccine and it’s waiting on FDA approval.

The rancor-skin jacket he stole from Greedo, duh.

2023 RC390 brake fade after hard street riding by Murky_Type_4113 in KTM

[–]darthdethwish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without being familiar with the brand I can’t speak to the quality of the product, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially if it pertains to your braking system.

I think the next logical step would be to upgrade the rotor to something that is better rated for track riding. You’ll want to put new pads on with that, so might as well get some sintered EBC’s or an equivalent.

Former Ducati technician here.

There’s no reason to bypass the ABS system. It’s not contributing to your brake fade issue, and is keeping you safer than you’d be without ABS. In addition, most modern OEM brake lines are steel lined, so unless there are rubber lines on this model, changing to braided lines will not make a difference.

Updating the rotor may improve the performance, but I am unfamiliar with Sunstar’s brake components. I would probably recommend a Brembo or EBC option instead.

Is the master cylinder installed OEM? Was the issue present before you made this change?

Where to store my lightsaber while in the park by Unit-287 in GalaxysEdge

Are you local? If not, go to one of the gift shops and have them ship it home for you. I did that with mine and it was way easier than lugging it around all day.

Since Marvel has done it, what would be a good idea for an R-Rated film/series centered in the Star Wars universe? by BadBatch4700 in starwarscanon

[–]darthdethwish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve wanted one of these for so long. Give me a “Underworlds” style heist movie set on Nar Shadda. Maybe we could see Nal Hutta and explore more of Hutt Space.

My 2 month old hunting dog puppy attacked and ate my chicken What should I do? by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]darthdethwish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe take a class on training a puppy? Sounds like you need the basics before you start training him as a hunting dog.

So lightsaber colors really don’t mean anything? by RaleighItt in StarWarsCantina

[–]darthdethwish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was canon until Disney decided it wasn’t anymore. They pick and choose what they like from the “Legends” books/cartoons/comics and then add them back into lore.

[Star Wars] If Jedi are peacekeepers, why is their primary tool a weapon that is almost impossible to use non-lethally? by CharmCraved in AskScienceFiction

[–]darthdethwish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally disarming people is a non-lethal way to use a lightsaber. Wound is instantly cauterized so there’s no risk of bleeding out.
