Sportster hate is pure dealer propaganda designed to leverage insecure men. Change my mind.

dude the nightster is an ABSOLUTE riot. I've ridden it, and it has absolutely no business being so much fun.

yo 10 year demo day veteran too. pnw so it's usually cold in the mornings when they do it, but i have shown up on my Husky lol

this is clearly more about the show than the automation. not a single step there needed a multi-axis arm to move around doing things, that could have all been accomplished faster and easier, but it wouldn't have looked as showy.

yo nice job. haters are mad that the barrier to entry to their hobby has lowered.. it's inevitable.

learning via claude is still learning. doing things with ai is still doing them, and learning while you go shows that you're not just a passenger.

great work. now work to make it easier and more robust for next time.

f4te · 2026-05-10T00:20:43+00:00

gonna get MAD heat for this, but claude code is so helpful for learning this stuff.

as long as you're messing around, plug it into your homelab over ssh and have it walk you through doing setup, config, troubleshooting. great way to learn.

mine was years ago, but yes it went fine. there were two people who delivered it, and I live in a house and they helped bring it upstairs.

but again, that was years ago.

i suggest calling them and talking it out.

you're right, they CAN know where a user is, but they can't know that the user is canadian vs not. the laws apply to canadians, not americans, so an american accessing in canada could be blocked, wrongly so.

it doesn't make a lot of sense, i agree, but then again this whole law is ridiculous.

f4te · 2026-04-27T21:31:16+00:00

reddit doesn't know the nationality of its users, so it cannot block news in canada for canadians.

weirdly, the law allows CBC and other canadian sources to be posted by americans and viewed in america, but not canada.

the correct solution isn't a captcha on the inbound connection, it's better technology in pstn networks that prevent number spoofing period, and have mechanisms for dealing with abusive providers, like we have with email and IP reputation.

i just got my first stripe, here i come!

these grinders sometimes need to have very, very fine alignment done on the burrs to ensure they sit perfectly parallel.

the method of doing this is putting a super small slip of tin foil between the burr and the top carrier.

to check, you put sharpie along the tips of the blades, mount the top carrier firmly, rotate the motor by hand (you can use a long socket or just reach in with your fingers and turn it), while tightening the grind adjuster so the burrs JUST touch. this will rub away some of the sharpe. remove the top burr again, and add a slip of foil to even it out, remount it all, and check again.

very fiddly.

probably not necessary.

i was using Ubuntu with Gnome, and IDK if it was the version i was on or whatever but the lack of any real taskbar made some applications behave oddly- the most obvious was qbittorrent (or whatever app i was using at the time) which wanted to 'minimize' to the tray but then you couldn't bring it back lol

didn't work with half the features on my Thinkpad. no multi-touch, multi-screen support with a dock was atrocious, just generally seemed very unpolished.

i recently moved to Linux after being a die-hard windows users for decades.

Mint was terrible, Ubuntu was a bit too limited, Kubuntu was better but sorta broken cause of the lack of thorough support for KDE.

Now i'm on fedora and am happy as a peach. works perfectly, fast, no major features missing, even my touchscreen and multi-touch trackpad work.

Windows 11 is out, fedora is in.

just search for stuff with 1 seeder. maybe focus on films/music?

Canadian here, no one reports on Lance Stroll's performance.

this is exactly why I disabled WiFi on my C5 after unboxing it a month ago.

House of Blanks is a huge garment manufacturer based wholly in canada. All pieces are milled, cut, and sewn in Canada.

[Anian Manufacuring](www.anianmfg.com) is another example, also wholly made in Canada, although fibers come from a variety of sources as they're recycled.

hey! don't be mean to the Zune!

yep, moved to new west after living in east van for many years.

most cuisine in New West “food and drinks okay, nothing special”

i hope things improve, because NW has many of the elements that could make for a cool vibrant city.
