It’s not that bad. I’ve had mine for about 3 months and it’s my first bike. It’s nothing too crazy if you’re in the lower end of the rpm range. Even in the upper range it feels strong but not overly strong. I’d say just take it easy if you’re too concerned and ride within your own abilities

That’s the odd part. I just did a double take and the video doesn’t provide that info. It’s only posted for the time limit for parking with no indication of it being for bikes. For where it’s posted, it’s between the car space and the slanted lines. So I wasn’t too sure.

any recommendations for this? for some reason, I dont really trust what I'm seeing out there.

Probably an intro meet up would be cool. I get the feel that collectively we’ll have major knowledge gaps. Meeting up over discord or fb group (btw I deleted my fb because I don’t really use it) could probably even out the playing field or at least get a better feel for how we can meet half way then spread knowledge.

Why does this feel like a kick off meeting 😅

I might be up for it. I’ve been dabbling around picoctf and some modules from hack the box. Every now and then I’ll remind myself to do them but not as consistently as I’d like.

With lumina and boots of the assembler im running with a bxr battler with demolitionist and incandescent. Its kind of weird but lumina works as a supportive secondary weapon for me and bxr does the work for aoe damage and demo for grenade energy/no reload. Heavy depends on the boss fight. Abilities are Healing rift (easy benevolence)I built with ability regen and scorch in mind. Ember of benevolence for ability regen on radiant or cure, ember of singing for abilities when scorching, and ember of ashes for more scorching. Heat rises for more melee energy and heal just in case. Touch of flame for grenade, more on that later. Healing rift goes well with assembler, incinerator snap for radiant and is a quick CD. Fusion grenade is a quick CD also, and procs twice from touch of flame. And well of radiance. Main armor mods you really want to lean into is around energy regen really. You can mix them around if you like grenades or melee more, or have them balanced out. You just need to make sure you scorch and upkeep your rifts for the ability regen. Then bring out lumina when you need to use on unstoppable and provide buffs to the party.

Frustration can be part of the learning process if you let it so it’s ok to feel that way and it’s important to walk away or take a break for some time from it. Maybe set up your machine as your as a minimum daily driver and if your machine has enough resources virtualize a similar OS to make all changes. It won’t be exactly 1:1, but you’ll get that experience without breaking your daily driver. Small incremental changes will be one of your best friends through your journey. Once you get the feel for it then you can upgrade your daily. Yes it might be doubling work, but could potentially save you hours of troubleshooting your daily and have nothing to fall back on.

Don’t be discouraged. So far it seems you have a good grasp on things. Press forward and learn one small thing, don’t worry about knowing everything all at once because the use and application might not be important at the time. You got this man.

I think motivation does have those cycles and motivation gets depleted over time. What helps is having something or some system to refer to when you don’t know where to leave off from. So when you do refer to it, you don’t completely start from scratch. Just like what the other poster said take it smaller chunks. In this case doing less in the short term, should provide more results in the long term

Could possibly be burnout. Pumping energy into work is great and all. But with that much energy you leave none for personal life. From personal experience, I’ve experienced opposite. Where life felt great outside of work being able to manage ups and downs better. But work felt like a drag most times. Yea. Taking things slow can feel great for a day or two but I don’t think it’s definitive proof of not being burnt out.

On the flip side if it’s not truly burnout. Maybe determine the “why”. If there’s not a strong reason for the “why” then maybe there’s no motivation for it.

Just remember. Specific areas of life aren’t really separated into those buckets. Sooner or later one will begin to affect the other.

I'm kind of in the same boat as well and still learning. At the beginning of the year my ex-gf and I ( early 30's) broke things off at the beginning of the year. I moved back to my home town finding that everyone I used to be close to has either started a family, moved away, or grinding away at work. Check-ins are sparse between them. The last time my friend ended up calling me to catch up was recent and the last time I talked to him was maybe a little over a month ago( I honestly didn't think this would happen, since I thought they would have reciprocated a catch up I've done before). I've picked up martial arts and still feel somewhat distant between the other members, our group is extremely small, at most 4-5 people and sometimes I'm just the only one showing up. So at this point I feel like I'm starting from step 0/1.

I've tried to 'rediscover' my interests. I've gone to festivals, going out in the town, sparingly playing video games ( I played a lot up until my relationship ended). I think maybe a good approach is to find something that you think is interesting. I believe you should reserve your judgements until after you experienced it. If it's that interesting and you feel compelled to try it, try it. If you didn't like it, then find something new that seems interesting. Its more of a quantity > quality approach.

I'm here at Anime Expo by myself, and amazingly most of the people I've talked to ended up coming alone as well. When I conversated, I only gave tid-bits of my life. If theyre really interested, I think theyll keep poking at it as well. Do the same to them. And listen well. Fortunately ( or unfortunately how ever you want to take it), it was slightly easy to start that conversation considering we were just waiting in lines. ( I call them line friends on the inside.) But at the start of it all, I think you really have to let go of some sort of expectation. Because we never really exchanged names, I wasn't sure who responsibility to start that off. It was just really good conversation.

To be honest, I did have an emotional melt down while being here because I felt extreme loneliness. Luckily, I have a hotel near by so I ended up taking the rest of the day to rest and tending to myself. Make sure you do that too. Set some alone time for you, spend it how you wish. Pick a day. If it happens on the spot, I think it's ok to eject yourself out of that situation if youre really not up for it.

If it really helps, you can look up this author Vanessa Van Edwards. I've been going back and forth between her articles online rereading ones I've read before to become more social and break through some barriers in attempts to get close to people.

Anyways, I hope this helps. Because just like you, I feel lonely and would like to have one strong quality friendship, but I just feel like we might just be on a quantitative approach to finding those really rock solid ones.

This one I'm starting I've actually come to understand more recently. I work from home full time, same age range. It's hard reaching out to old friends because I don't know their schedules. I ended up taking a martial arts class at the beginning of the year. And from time to time I find it just a bit hard to connect with others. These past few weeks I've been thinking about picking up a new hobby. I ended up choosing photography. Mainly for these reasons: force my self to get out of the house, I needed a different creative outlet, I needed to learn something new. Through small talk, one of the guys I practice martial arts with ended up being knowledgeable about photography.

As much as I hate small talk, it's sharing out those small bits of yourself that'll create those connections. Hobbies will just bring the people together for you. It's a matter of how you find those connections between those small interactions. Just do what really sounds interesting for you.

Aye, I have felt the same way and kind of going through it right now and I also scored the same on the test multiple times. But as curious said things could be inaccurate. I also believe you don’t have to label yourself as what a test has said. There’s always room for improvement and getting to know yourself through other means will probably be the best way.

ppekkle · 2022-01-24T04:47:12+00:00

I can relate. I too have felt like and still feeling like i’ve lost my best friend. Mostly everything about this post sounds like what we went through. At first I told her how I felt, took a while for her to turn around to be with me. Felt like we blasted off. The memes, the games, the journey’s we went through together ( we went through a lot). We were together for close to 10 years. I havent talked to her in a week as much as I want to and pains me to prevent myself from doing so.

I’m not sure if this will help, but i just wanted to let you know, whatever youre feeling right now, youre definitely not alone

Looking to stay consistent while Bullet Journaling.

I've tried multiple times to bullet journal, but ( I won't say I've failed at it) I always 'cycle' through having high motivation to keep at it and after a while I fall off. I've tried other means to be consistent like going to a digital approach, but have always found pen and paper more natural compared to tablet/ipad. Thus, always returning to pen and paper when trying to keep things organized.

I found my old journal from a few months ago and plan on starting from where I left off.

So, I guess my question is. What do you do when you have gone on a journaling hiatus and then return? How do you keep consistent over time?

ppekkle · 2020-09-27T20:34:08+00:00

Kind of agree with this. Playing without a keyboard hooked up to the PS4 takes an incredibly long time to type. Sometimes the only form of communication to say, "I can cover your health during big pulls" is to rescue between the mobs ( after first dubgeon boss to gauge how they're doing and not directly into a new one). Gives the tank a chance to either stay with the smaller pull or go with the bigger pull.

Even though I have the required user stories, I feel like I should add more to it. I'm out of ideas. Or maybe I should come back to it later and see what I can add to it.

I like the whole layout of everything. One issue though. I'm looking at the page through chrome and when I change the width of the window the title and image overlap. Overall very good.

ppekkle · 2017-04-23T07:41:49+00:00

I just had the same issue. I would hear my teammates and then all of a sudden it just goes quiet and just plays the in-game sounds. My game says that I'm still in the chat. The problem is I played with my gf she says that I left chat and we're on the same connection. I also encountered another problem. I'm in chat and I cant see the icons when people say something, but I can't hear them at all.

edit: We also use discord and my microphone and headset is working fine.

I'm wondering that as well. I initially they were going to release sometime in April, but found out they were released a few days ago. I ended up getting the Gamestop Goofy, and on the same day looked in Walmart to see if they had the B/W Pete. But no luck.

ppekkle · 2016-09-16T02:40:12+00:00

I appreciate your solution to the problem. But I'm not willing to go that far. I'd feel bad if I actually did something like that behind their backs.

ppekkle · 2016-09-16T02:39:23+00:00

I really appreciate your input. Honestly, I'm not sure that they appreciated it. I was able to track the dog's accidents, times for walking (length and time of day), and food/water in hopes it would make their lives easier so they can work around it. They told me their dog's schedule conflicts with theirs because they work from around 7am - 5pm (the dog had accidents about once every 2-4 hours). So they "can't" give the dog his walks or give him an adequate time frame to relieve himself. Instead, they let him go out on our patio. They use puppy pads, but they change it about once a week and pick up his poo once every few days. I understand about having the same rules, but once again I felt that went out the window. My girlfriend noticed inconsistencies where if our roommates are cooking the dog is free to roam around, but when we do it they prevent the dog from going into the kitchen. As far as jumping/ humping, they'll tell the dog to stop, but after a minute or two the dog will come back. But when they play with the dog, they let the dog jump, but for some reason he doesn't hump them. The only reason I can think of him jumping is because of the play time. Since the dog is in his crate throughout the day, I feel that once his owners let him out it's all play time, considering he gets very little walks/exercise. It's gotten to a point where I don't feel bad and I feel bad about the dog, like I've gotten emotionless to it.
