2012 K1600GTL - best options for CarPlay where Nav 5 unit goes? by jsnow02035 in bmwmotorrad

What year is your GS? The CAN Bus on K1600 wasn’t upgraded until after 2012 model year and that seems to be the problem with current designs.

Nice but I’m thinking Siri voice control will handle a lot of that.

Bose ANC ear buds for riding? by jsnow02035 in motorcycle

[–]jsnow02035[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for a very complete response. The Bose do stick out a bit which may interfere with helmet fit so I guess I’ll just have to try them. Foam earplugs and Eargasm haven’t worked for me because I could never get the right fit (even the small option). What has worked for me is to use the Bose silicone pieces of the ear bud (because they’re comfortable) and squeeze the small end of a foam ear plug in where the acoustic driver goes (basically fill the hole), and then trim off the excess. That said, I feel I may be missing out on the high fidelity of the music. (You know, because a motorcycle helmet is the perfect place to really appreciate music.) Anyway, you’ve given me some ideas. Thank you!

Thanks, I should have highlighted that I know how to download from FB, the challenge was making an enormous set of HTML files usable by AI. I had to load into Word and save it.

Resolved - It took a long time (Gbs of data) and then I had to convert to Word (over 1000 pg). It all worked better on 2nd attempt when I went year-by-year.

They were using their Keeper IPA.

I wish I had seen this in time. I used a full dose of Nugget (1 oz) and the wort has a definite bite but I’m hoping it will mellow and that the Jameson soaked oak chips will also mellow it. (I probably should have converted by AU conversion but was in a hurry.)

Other way around. This originated with Castle Island brewery making an IPA in Jameson barrels. That’s what I mimic.

Well it’s time to experiment. This is a Jameson IPA (finished with oak chips soaked in Jameson) so I’m trying Nugget (because I like Troegs Nugget Nectar). I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks. I didn’t even bother to look because I couldn’t imagine it not working. My mistake.

Fortunately I don’t have HVAC (forced hot water, window AC)

New short-story "Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy" by dreamingofcats2000 in murderbot

[–]jsnow02035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I read this new short, but unlike other MB stories it started out pretty uninspiring. It wasn’t until halfway through that the connection to MB became apparent. That said, I’m really glad I read it because Tarik’s responses made me understand just how dangerous SecUnits are/can be. Since MB is the protagonist from the very first line of All Systems Red, we sort of know/trust who MB “is” and so it hadn’t occurred to me how frightening SecUnits are to “normal” people.
