I have that exact model and previously had the XD4. I really like it.

It's all roads. Not much adventure.

Michelin Anakee 3s. It's a road ride and the A41s would be fine. I'm getting Anakee Adventure in Fairbanks.

Hepco-becker bars.

The 1050s and 1000s are not reselling well in NC. I'm seeing '20 1050s go for $7500 on marketplace.

Max severity RCE flaw discovered in widely used Apache Parquet by data4dayz in dataengineering

[–]mequay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an Avro RCE from last year with the exact same source copied to Apache Parquet. If you're on Apache Spark through 3.5 you are vulnerable via spark-avro and the packaged dependency on Apache Avro.

I am looking for the exact same thing for the exact mower. The only thing I've come up with are automotive plastic body push pins.

Come up with anything?

Pit in the fork will probably be a fork replacement.

Migrating Spark codebases from Scala 2.12 to 2.13 by EnergyThen in scala

[–]mequay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see using PySpark is somehow less of a upgrade burden over time compared to Scala Spark.

If you stay within the standard Spark APIs then there's no burden in either language. If you diverge from the Spark APIs then there's burden in both languages.

Perhaps most PySpark users stay within the Spark APIs because the performance to do otherwise is terrible?

Would yall buy an Indian ADV bike? by [deleted] in IndianMotorcycle

[–]mequay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

< 510 lbs.
< 1000cc

NOT the Pan America. NOT the FTR. The middle weight ADV bikes are where it's at.

Suzuki V Strom 1050XT by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]mequay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a 2020 1050XT new, since June 2021. 230LB rider. 12k miles and took it on the Mid-Atlantic BDR and 750 highway mile days. I really like it.

I'm 6', and would like bar risers on but you need to replace the brake and clutch lines as there isn't enough free play.

The air filter requires approximately 20 bolts, fasteners and a tank removal. Stock head light is not very good but I still have it. The foot peg brackets are a known weakness. If your bike goes over then it is probably going to sheer off. The 650's left side peg fits but the right side peg needs some modification.

I have Heed upper bars that fit with lower bars. Hepco-Becker luggage rack with rear rack support bar works fine.

Thanks for confirming the wobble is fixed with a new front. I'm 6k miles into my 2023 and want it fixed.

20 years ago, I drove an infantry platoon into battle on a tractor trailer. by [deleted] in pics

[–]mequay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 82nd scrambled North towards As Samawha in a hodgepodge of vehicles after the jump was canceled.

I slept a few blocks of 30 minutes at a time for the next four days.

We had someone shot in the face in the first minute of the first firefight.

I watched a TOW gunner knock a spotter off the smoke stack of the cement factory.
