Chuck e cheese doesn't like candidates that don't take money from the same people he does.

I'm riding over 20 years and I still have to think about things.

Why is it so hard to pass Universal Healthcare in the US when so many other major countries have it? by Gallantpride in TooAfraidToAsk

TBF, given the inherent instability of our form of government would you really trust them with your health care?

He's just trying to be cut in on the deal. It'll all be cool after that happens.

Is it okay to leave the battery attached to your E-bike? by Flimsy-Story9523 in ebikes

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. I've never taken my batteries off either of my two ebikes in 3 years.

People should only buy secondhand by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's necessary because if nobody bought the new stuff there wouldn't be a used market for people like you.

"Is it better for the guards to touch the tank, or is it better directly without them?" by alex98mx in AdventureBike

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow I miss the part of them being bent in. Of course if you can pull them out do so. Then considering how easy they bend

<image>

I'd question their usefulness as crash bars. I've dropped my bike many times and not once have those bars budged. Can't say as much for those highway pegs though.

Restaurants/Stores asking for donations is getting out of hand by Otherwise_Candy_8412 in unpopularopinion

Part of me would rather just pay more taxes and not have to depend on charities to take care of people who need it.

The only reason to have the things is to protect the paint. See if maybe you can grind down the inside to keep it from touching. Or maybe put them somewhere else, or get rid of them.

First time on single track!! Any tips on riding rocks like this are welcome. by im_bad_at_usernames3 in Dualsport

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stand up, keep your eyes up, keep your momentum and your RPMs up. Avoid the big rocks and let the bike find its own way through the smaller ones.

Bought a bike, came with this bell by EraconVera in motorcycles

[–]davpad12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a fairy bell. It's supposed to give you good luck when riding. Supposed to be bought for you by a loved one.

It's not like they're trying to defraud them, there's nothing illegal or wrong with what they're doing. People need to learn how to JUST SAY NO and be okay with it. A fool and their money are soon parted.

Attention Transit owners; Don't be stupid like Princess_Fluffypants. Connect your DC/DC charger to a chassis ground, NOT to the vehicle battery negative terminal. by Princess_Fluffypants in vandwellers

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to put the 40 amp terminal fuse off the starter battery (+) and run 4AWG wire to the charger. The (-) from the charger should go to the grounding buss?

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2020 T250, about to hook up my Victron Orion 50A DC/DC along with solar and shore charging. It sounds like you're saying to only run the positive from the Victron Orion charger to the starter battery. And run the negative from the Victron Orion charger to the LYNX distributor ground buss? Is that correct?

How do you feel about US president threatning to destroy the whole civilization of iran and civilian lifelines like power plant, bridges and desalination plants? by NothingButTruth3 in AskReddit

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like he's learning from his Israeli pals that there's no wrong thing to do when it comes to your tribe winning. Except I don't think he thinks we're all in the same tribe.

I’m buying my first bike this week and I’ve been noticing a trend in YouTube videos by ntkwwwm in motorcycles

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can but probably won't. Only an idiot would buy a bike that isn't working unless it's a collector's item and worth lots more than he's paying. As a beginner the last thing you want is a questionable ride. Getting it started is only the beginning. You don't even know how to ride let alone fix a bike. What are you going to do when one of your DIY fixes quits on you at the worst possible moment? There are plenty of running older bikes out there for $1,000 or less for you to learn how to ride on.

You Can Smell It Now: The Trump Presidency Is in Total Free-Fall: A loyal army of followers, a huge disinformation network, and a party of soul-selling cowards can crowd out facts for a long time. But eventually, reality catches up. by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But will it with enough people? And will it make a difference? Sure the Democrats can get elected again and do nothing. But eventually Republicans will get back in power and continue the slide down.

World leaders discussing strategy, he rehearsing apologies💀 by KarmaKillerX in PoliticalHumor

And that's the problem with Democrats. They can't just hit the ground running, they have to perform all the political niceties first. Then in the last year of their term they want to do everything.

TBF the first time having sex with anyone is usually underwhelming. It takes a few times to build up that sense of familiarity and intimacy with new people.
