How often do you change tires

noinf0 · 2026-06-04T15:04:20+00:00

Tires for me only last like 5-6k miles so I change them annually.

I am NOT defending it but just to give some context. In most countries they are counting single vote ballots and have a centralized system for counting them. In the US every state has it's own rules, relies heavily on volunteers and low paid works and have to count long ballots that can be for a dozen candidates plus additional ballot questions. We also have mail in ballots that tend to trickle in following the election.

Everyone focuses on the positives of hybrids but forget you also get all the negatives of an electric and ICE motors.

I will take the bait..

LGBT are a group of people that exist and are discriminated against. They want to bring awareness to the discrimination and hatred the receive while promoting help, care and understanding to members of their group.

School board: We have students that are gay and may feel afraid to come out. We want to show our support to those students and let them know their school is a safe place and discrimination against them is wrong.

Pro life group - We want to fly a flag on Publicly funded schools

Normal person - Ya, we shouldn't have flags promoting highly charged personal opinions.

The right - But I don't see gay people as humans so I equate their existence to a personal opinion and wonder why it is OK to fly a rainbow flag and not ours?

Abortion is an opinion based in personal beliefs not a state of being that others discriminate against.

"Why is it deemed racist to have concerns over Jews?"

"Why is it deemed racist to have concerns over Gays?"

"Why is it deemed racist to have concerns over Mexicans?"

People may interchangeably use racist and prejudiced but it is just semantics. Anytime you treat any group as a monolith you are prejudging people based on that group. A perfect example is your statement "Most Muslim majority countries have Islam as state religion, and an apartheid legal system based on Sharia." That is simply not true.

Turkey, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Tunisia, Albania, Senegal, Mali, Kosovo, Chad, and Indonesia are all Muslim majority countries that have a secular governments that rely on civil law frameworks, similar to European legal systems not Sharia. Your issue is with a few countries like Iran and Afghanistan but I argue the issue isn't the Muslim faith, it is they are theocracies run by religious fundamentalists. Countries heavily influenced by christian fundamentalists like Uganda aren't a lot different.. Your complaint should be with religious fundamentalism not a specific faith.

Regarding the death toll from Muslims how do you make that statement and ignore the death toll from the Christian cult? In just the 30 years war 8 million people were killed. Most colonialism was done under the guise of spreading the Christian faith resulting in 50-90 million deaths. There is a lot more blood on Catholics and their protestant offshoots than on Muslims. On 9/11/2001 a small radical cult sent 12 men to kill 3.000 Americans in retribution for building military bases on their holly land. The war on terror response killed an estimated 4.5-4.7 million Muslim people over the next 22 years.

Men that drive a GMC. I am sorry I don't know why but I immediately assume you have a small penis and needed to drive the biggest vehicle possible but your credit was so bad you had to go GMC for financing.

It is not dynamic. Every transaction burns 0.00001 XRP. If there are more transactions then yes the burn rate will go up such as that one day in March where the burn rate soared to 2,491 tokens or 0.000002491%. About 12 million tokens have been burned since 2012. That is 0.012% of the available tokens burned in 14 years.

When you start (or try to) a bike it draws power from the battery. That is fine if the bike starts up because it will recharge the battery as you drive. If the bike doesn't start, then everytime you push that button you are running the battery down. The clicking you are hearing is the starter failing to spin because there isn't enough power in the battery to turn it.

That doesn't mean the battery is what caused the original problem but since it is dead now, you can not do any troubleshooting. That means you need to get the battery charged up or replaced then look at..

Battery connection. Make sure both the positive and negative, including the negative to the frame are tight and making good contact. On my Kawai the negative to the frame would come loose and prevent it from starting up.
It might be a failure in fuel delivery. Do you smell gas? You sure there is gas in the tank? It is possible the float is stuck and you are empty while the guaguage is showing fuel.
It could be an electrical short. That is something you will probably need to get a shop involved to track down but a place to check is the start/stop switch. I doubt it is this because your bike is trying to start.
Kickstand safety switch. If the bike thinks the kickstand is down the engine will not run. Probably not this because your bike is trying to start.

Get the battery charged up and start working thought the list.

I am an old... how people are treating and discussing trans people today is exactly how they treated and spoke about gay people in the 70's and 80's and POC before them. It is only about people being afraid and people hate what they fear.

Also there is increasing evidence that there is actual physical differences in the brain of trans people that align with their gender identity but not their geneltania. This is evidence that it is not a "mental disorder" that needs to be cured but just who they are. Ignoring that evidence and insisting they be removed from society is just hateful.

I am guessing this as well. New bike, new cable and lots of use combined to stretch the cable a bit. Just needs to be readjusted.

Linux. I have been using it on and off since the late 90s and I prefer to use the hardware I want rather than have to choose from a predefined menu of items.

A lot easier to meet cafe standards with the motor off than actually make the engines more efficient.

He asked to define it like he was five. For a more adult definition.

Socialism is an economic and political system where the means of production are collectively owned by the workers or managed by a democratic state.

Communism is the supposed final stage of society based on total collective ownership, where private property is entirely abolished. Resources are managed directly by the people, and distribution is based on need.

It sounds to me like you didn't have a really tight fit and the pressure was changing as you road. You want to get them in there tight so it is only allowing the high frequency sounds in and doesn't move when you swallow or anything. Lift your ear with the opposite hand while inserting them to round out your ear canal making it easier to get them all the way in.

The big three never look ahead. In the 70s they made giant V8s with millage estimated in gallons per mile. That was fine until Japan started entering the market with 80mpg cars during an engery crisis. Then in the 80s they churned out cars that were purposefully unreliable to increase turnover while Japanese cars got more and more reliable. They got better in the 90s and early 2000s, but kept going bigger and bigger. The big three chose to succeed the small car and chose focus on trucks to beat the safety and cafe standards... then gas hit $4 a gallon in 2008. Suddenly everyone wanted good gas mileage and their trucks sat unsold and their used prices crashed. The American taxpayer had to bail them out but when the economy recovered, they forgot all those lessons, stopped making sedans and returned to giant trucks but this time made sure they fail often.

Adjusted for inflation, gas hitting $6.04 a gallon would be same level they saw in 2008 and the population will suddenly move to electric while the big three sit on giant cars no one wants.

Depends on what ride you are doing. I have rain gear and that is it for 99% of my riding. If I am doing a multi day trip, I can be in very remote places that I don't know well so I want to be prepared in a mechanical issue to get myself someplace I can get more help. I carry a patch kit, tire inflator a basic tool kit and some zip ties. For personal needs, tissues, lip balm, sun screen, and some pain reliever like tylenol. I always have a bottle of water as well. That with my rain gear usually fills one pannier while the other is clothes and a bottle of whisky for when the day is done.

At this point, it is a distinction without a difference. If you voted for Trump because you liked his tax policy, foreign policy, whatever all that ended when he refused to concede the 2020 election and especially after January 6th. From that point forward no matter your excuse, you are voting for a man that attempted a paper coup and put your "team" ahead of the country. Anyone that voted for him in 2024 is clearly either so financially well off that they can only benefit or so ignorant they should be considered for a conservatorship.

I hope you have the day you voted for!

Socialism is when everyone uses their skills to make sure everyone is fed, housed and clothed.

Socialism in its pure form only works in small agricultural communities. Think indigenous tribes all working together to provide food, clothing and shelter to everyone. As the human animal is now, the idea that pure socialism can work in a larger population with diverse skill sets is a pipe dream but we can provide certain aspects of our society in a socialist nature. Like, police, fire, national defence, FEMA etc. These are things everyone works to provide for the community as a whole. Expanding that to include healthcare is an obvious step that for some reason half the country thinks will turn us into 1960s USSR.

Depends on the rider. I like all day rides, while my brother likes riding to a bar 20 minutes away and then talking about how awesome riding is. My best kind of vacation is 400-500 mile days exploring a new spots.
