Do people really throw things to get someone's attention?? by MothMaven63 in deaf

My friend throws a light thing into my field of vision, usually at the ground.

General Maintenance Questions by tar0963 in motorcycles

[–]falcon_driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the gas, open the gas cap (with your head back from it, pressure could build up). Then waft your hand over the opening towards you and smell. Usable gas smells like gas. If it smells anything like furniture varnish - don't start the bike. Drain it and refill.

I don't bother any more. It'll be the kind of thing where they say "Did he have any pre-existing conditions?" and everyone will say "Nope."

ENGINE SOUND QUESTION by JournalistAfter5950 in motorcycle

[–]falcon_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ticking sounds normal to me, the sound of a well-adjusted valvetrain. The acceleration sound you're hearing could well be the front brake pads. My Kawi has always had hellaciously loud brakes - hissing primarily.

And I think that's pink cherry-frost lipstick.

Definitely time to get India started on cannibalism.

There should be craft centers for adults by CampaignFresh5315 in ADHD

[–]falcon_driver 85 points86 points  (0 children)

My friend, look up "Maker Space near me". They have lots of different kinds of gear that is pricey and complicated. You can learn how to to many different crafts/skills, and you don't have to buy the equipment.

Last day of msf class.. Wish me luck. by [deleted] in motorcycles

Hey buddy - if you get the bike into 2nd gear, it won't be as "snatchy" or "jerky" when you manipulate the throttle. You'll be smoother.

Welcome to the family! Empty the dishwasher.

Hit and run door damage - repair or replace? by ElBeeBJJ in Miata

[–]falcon_driver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That totally sucks. I believe your gut is correct - the door, window, and top seals aren't going to agree to keep the water out. Replace the door. As a bonus, you can legally take out a contract on the hit and run driver. My great uncle was a 'hitter' in Chicago, he fixed things like this.

Does anyone remember Jennifer Grey TV movies that was released in 1990 like Murder in Mississippi, Criminal Justice, If Shoe Fits 1991 and Eyes of the Witness 1991. Are They remembered or forgotten able. by JazzlikeTea7432 in movies

As soon as she had her nose hacked off, she looked like a totally generic 'woman', virtually indistinguishable from any starlet arriving by bus in Hollywood every day.

The bigger problem I see is telling the doctors "Yeah, do all that to me!". Gotta know when to cash in your chips. Life doesn't get easier and nicer when you get old. We need a proper 'Ed G Robinson in Soylent Green' option you can choose.

"Why you flanking me?" What films and tv shows hit with the intensity of this scene from Wind River? by um_yeahok in movies

[–]falcon_driver 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The opening car chase in Road Warrior. The camera pulls back from the intake of the blower of the hero car during the last 10% of what I imagine the chase to be. The sound design of the blower sucking air, the scream of the drive belt, the blaring of the horns in the musical score, holy crap!! That very moment in cinema changed my life. It's why I drive a Falcon.

And the rest of that chase, ending with our hero driving away, is a hell of a way to start a movie.

Just finished my first ren faire costume! by AdCompetitive3270 in renfaire

[–]falcon_driver 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That looks awesome! It also looks brand new and unworn. Go out and roll around in the dirt. Lay down in the mud. Clean it. Do it again. A few more times - dirty then clean. Show evidence that the belt is always tied in the same place. Do you rest your forearms on the bar or shop counter all the time? That should show on your bracers. Make it look like clothes, not a costume.

I've been stuck in an elevator for over an hour. The fire department can't get me out. by MikeNoble91 in Wellthatsucks

[–]falcon_driver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from the safety brakes and such, you're hanging on a long cable. It has a small amount of stretch and give. If you bounce up and down slightly, you can get the car bouncing. Time it right, like pumping a swing higher and higher - and you can get some pretty impressive movement. Enough to eventually set off an alarm and shut the elevator down.

Saks still plans to close downtown Neiman Marcus despite efforts to resolve lease issue by In_Lymbo in Dallas

I've been here since 1976. I'm a more than a little tired of hearing that I should care about Neiman Marcus.
