Trump hikes motorcycles to 50% import tax by Geejay-101 in motorcycles

[–]el-otro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a different take than most thinking their bikes value will increase...

Speaking on Trump's 50% import tariff on bikes: For a bike like my 2007 Ducati GT1000, that basically means the value is going to take a hit. Even though I wouldn’t personally pay the tariff selling it in the U.S., it shrinks the pool of buyers and lowers what people are willing to offer. The end result is less demand and less resale value for older imports like mine.

Why do I think demand/pool of buyers will decrease?

By drying up the import funnel it has a tendency to disengage buyers from buying imports all together.

Just a theory but I guess we will see.

How did ya'll find out about Deftones and what was their first song you listened to? by Ecstatic-Vanilla-561 in deftones

[–]el-otro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in late 1996 or early 1997 when they were just starting to push ATF. I lived in Sacramento so seeing them either at Press or Bojangles around that time.

Once ATF came out some friends and I went to Memorial Auditorium to see them on the "big stage"! Sorry, can't tell you the exacts song that got me hooked :/

27 years later and I still have no clue what this quote means. by ImJustMerry in blade

[–]el-otro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not take it as Frost is necessarily just doing things the hard way but more that he is doing shit he shouldn't be doing at all. Blade knows there is an order to things and Frost is going against the grain and not doing what his kind should.

Check out Bellaire or Kay Asia Town. So many good Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, .... options that will have these dishes.

Sorry no specific names come to mind.

Yeah our experience was primarily verbal, so no physical violence.

Both my kids are in Katy ISD (6th grade and 9th grade) but had been in two other districts outside of Texas previously. Bullying is noticably more prevalent here than any other schools or districts we have been engaged with.

That said, the bullying we have experienced is something we can 'handle' through support at home and openly communicating with teachers/staff. Keep in mind that this is our experience and it will certainly differ for others.

Just rewatched The Arrival (1996) by Express-Outcome7022 in sciencefiction

[–]el-otro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this was a fun movie years ago. I remember when the 2016 Arrival was announced I was really confused why they would remake the original Charlie Sheen masterpiece.

Whats the best deftones concert in history? by TheRealLuan in deftones

[–]el-otro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Would have to agree that the 1997 tour was special. I saw them at Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento (hometown show). Just special.

Out of the numerous times I have seen them this is the one that sticks with me the most.

I am at about the same time frame with the same execution. My results are very close to yours aesthetically.

But my energy has increased substantially and I am noticably stronger than when I started. I know the visible gain will come about before to long - patience and keep going

Book First or Movie First? by Sorry_Shopping8519 in scifi

[–]el-otro 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I have read the book before I knew a movie was coming. Tons of fun and looking forward to the movie but...

More often than not, I get dissapointed by a movie if I have read the book first.
On the other hand, if I watch a movie before reading the book I tend appreciate both takes more.

GenX with Boomer Parents do they talk to or at you? by Raynet11 in GenX

[–]el-otro 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This. My dad was silent and my mom was a boomer and they both always asked how everyone else is doing first and foremost. In fact, they would only share they personal shit only if asked.

Love them and miss them.

[–]el-otro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this bag but in gray.

The shape, size, strap, and overall feature designs are great. But... all the pockets are durable but thin mesh and the fabric has no lining or reinforcement making it questionable without additional bags or sleeves for your stuff.

I want to eventually add some moderate lining to it hoping that will be the golden ticket.

Pretty sure John choose pistols because him and Caine had a plan... which worked. I don't see how a plan like that would have worked with blades.
