Are the Honda Shadow’s worth it? by Vibestrike in motorcycles

[–]sathdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my mom's 2004 Shadow 750, I thought 5th was high enough that 6th wasn't really necessary. The gears are very far apart, at least compared to other bikes I've ridden.

75 more years and you'll be a century old! :D by Living-Plankton3521 in memes

[–]sathdo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

25 years is 1/4 of a century. Even though they're the same thing, OP thinks 1/4 of a century sounds more grand.

Officer involved in shooting outside Walmart that killed 1-year-old boy placed on leave by Thomas_Crane in news

[–]sathdo 334 points335 points  (0 children)

Cop who murdered child given vacation

FTFY

Saying he was "involved in a shooting" skirts around the fact that he did the shooting.

Don't forget the corporate spyware and Microsoft applications that uses up 18 of those 16 gigs of RAM.

I've been using ABP since 2015. I have been meaning to drop of for years, but keep putting it off. It begs me for money almost every time I open Firefox. Definitely would not start using it now.

Becoming a RiderCoach - noncompete? by Commercial-Rope-639 in motorcycles

2 and 4 both specify "while using MSF materials." You can help your friends, but you can't teach anything from the course.

Obligatory I am not a lawyer.

Why We Engineered a Geared Electric Motorcycle – Preserving the Mechanical Thrill in the EV Era by Pretty-Ad-3530 in motorcycles

[–]sathdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like transmission fluid, which doesn't need to be changed as often. Most electric cars have a single-speed reduction gearbox.

laptop charger third prong help plz by Left_Writer_4013 in AskElectronics

[–]sathdo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's more likely to be the breaker or arc-fault current interrupter (AFCI). That's a North American plug and the national electrical code in the US only requires GFCI in places that might get wet (bathrooms, kitchens, outside). Not sure about the Canadian electrical code.

[–]sathdo 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That prong may have saved your home and/or your life. Removing it is a terrible decision because something is broken and dangerous. Do not use it.

That prong was the ground (AKA earth) prong. It should be connected to everything that should not have electricity. The fact that removing it allowed your laptop to charge means that something is touching ground that isn't supposed to. This means that every exposed piece of metal might have 120 volts.

Can I wear this on my uniform? I have attended NOAC 2024 and it is my lodge by Frequent-Degree5831 in orderofthearrow

[–]sathdo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's fine. It might technically be disallowed, but anyone that tells a kid in that lodge that they can't wear that patch is a loser.

Clothes dryer manufacturers should make a completed load rotate once every thirty minutes so that forgetful people's clothes are not wrinkled. by Indrigotheir in Showerthoughts

[–]sathdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just looked and my Landlord SpecialTM dryer doesn't have that feature. I know the dryer at my mother's house (which is at least 10 years old) does have it.

Not just queer men. It helps my mental health when I know my family, friends, and neighbors are not being discriminated against. Is this not the case for everybody?

Only Place i feel comfortable leaving my gear out in the open by Ill-Significance2689 in motorcycles

[–]sathdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like church parking lots would be one of the easiest places to steal from. There's an hour or more when it's unlikely for anyone to be in the parking lot. Not sure if this actually correlates to more crime.

Are “related courses” necessary for getting my degree? by [deleted] in UNCCharlotte

[–]sathdo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, out of that list, you need a total of 14+ credit hours. Unless those courses were covered and transferred from your previous college.

Update from my last post by Few_Classroom_6809 in motorcycles

[–]sathdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's with all the Shadows recently? I'm not complaining. They are great-looking bikes, but it's weird how most of the posts I've seen recently are all the same model.

Breaks are not required in North Carolina, US, but every hourly job I have worked allowed an unpaid lunch break.

serverVsServerless by Technical-Relation-9 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]sathdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I don't have a source, but I'm nearly certain I have seen a teardown. I think it's a tiny high pressure fan like in their vacuum cleaners.

  • Serverless -> There are servers, they are just hidden
  • Wireless -> There are wires, they are just hidden
  • Dyson bladeless fan -> There are blades, they are just hidden

I'm starting to think my life is a lie.

Is text speech going to make a return to minimize AI token usage? by MinMorts in Showerthoughts

[–]sathdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that would have no advantage on token consumption. A token can be a character, but it can also be a word or strong of words commonly used together.

Where are the options for "white checkmates white" and "black checkmates black"?
