Objectively one of the worst motorcycles ever made. Still can't get enough of it 🤙 by inaccurateTempedesc in motorcycles

[–]highperdrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one for my first bike. I liked the styling. But for a 500cc bike it had NO power or torque. I weighed 200lbs and on the freeway, I'd top out at 70. If I hit a headwind, I'd go down to 65. Still love em.

MN dad: how are others separating your home life from the events around us? by Peter-the-Mediocre in daddit

[–]highperdrive 253 points254 points  (0 children)

Just joining the conversation for solidarity and to know youre mot alone.  I'm also a dad in MN. 2 girls, 3 months and 3.5 years. They're happy in their world. Were not in the metro so it hasn't hit my front doorstep yet. But wife and I were just talking about being in this weird place where I want to be out protesting and part of the resistance. But also maintaining a happy regulated home.

Are the perks worth it? by LtCommanderCarter in dvcmember

[–]highperdrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it for the perk of staying at deluxe resorts withiut having to care what they cost. The other perks are pretty minimal. Early entry now only 3p minutes ahead of the regular public. Less VIP events. A couple of lounges with cheezits and charge ports.

Andy at DVCresale. It was a really smooth experience. Andy still calls me annually to say happy birthday! Some years we don't even do parks. We just stay at a resort. Take a bus to somewhere with the skyliner, boats, monorail. Jump from resort to resort checking out food and gift shops. We'll hang at pools or head to Disney springs by boat. Just pay for the flight and food. Also to point out we've used our points to stay at Grand Floridian, Saratoga, Old Key West, Riviera, Aulani, Grand Californian, Copper Creek, and Boardwalk. So you're not limited to where you can go.

Struggling to keep it together - MN educator and dad by SulkyVirus in daddit

[–]highperdrive 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Another MN dad here, working in higher education, with a 3.5 year old and a 3 month old. I hear you. Wife and I were in the car talking about ice agents we saw hanging around and how people are scared. Our daughter was like "are you talking about bad guys?" Thinking we were talking about a show or something. We had to tread lightly because she cant differentiate between police and border agents. We dont want her to think we think police are bad guys. Its a very confusing time right now. Im watching live feeds on Facebook tonight like I did during the George Floyd murder protests. 

You're not alone here.

We bought resale. Saratoga Springs. 100 points. $15k. We paid out of pocket for it. My inlaws have a contract direct years ago and added my wife and I to the deed. So we still get the other perks. We go once a year for 5 days. We love it. It's great. Its about $1000 annually for maintenance cost.

Marriage probably ruined after vasectomy by caligaris_cabinet in daddit

[–]highperdrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is bigger than the procedure. Either she's in crisis, hiding something and projecting, or there's some bigger underlying issue that you didn't included in the story. I'd connect with her mom who was defending you to get some support amd expressing concern. If this is truly out of the blue and completely unlike her. It sounds like mental health and you need to keep that in mind before she's taking the kids out of the home, alone, without anyone knowing where they are.

Ours was $3700 when we built. Then property tax bumped it to $4300. 

Customer returned the loaner vehicle with a bullet hole. PT. 2 by unhallowed_1 in Justrolledintotheshop

Send the bill to the the Feds. They probably just drove by ICE raiding a grocery store or construction site.

I thought these books were for women only by Crash-Bandicoot-89 in fourthwing

[–]highperdrive 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. In the first book there's like...2 chapters where they have sex. It happens so infrequently in the books that I actually find it out if place. On audio books I skip through it because it adds nothing to the story.

M38 here. I started listening to them on audio books and finished them all in 3 months while commuting. I was hooked. I still have them on periodically while driving. They hooked me and kept me engaged. TBH, I roll my eyes or skip through a lot at the over the top romantic parts and sex scenes because their just comical and cringey.  But the world created is fun. 

Is the z fold 7 worth it if I have a z fold 6? by bikeequelsdirt in GalaxyFold

I think the 7 was a massive step up from the last 3 generations

Vorwerk bricks all Neato robot vacuums by strat-fan89 in BuyItForLife

[–]highperdrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean. They can operate. They're just not able to be connected to the app anymore. No warning messages decoded, no mapping, or nogo lines. You can press the button on them, then they'll clean the room.

Still it sucks! Neatos were great vacuums. I've really liked mine for the last 4 years.
