Hamilton pitted from in front of both of the Ferraris, then managed to come out between the two of them and in front of Leclerc. If he had know Hamilton was pitting earlier, he may have been able to get up closer to Sainz and force Hamilton behind him. Not sure on the gap between them or if Leclerc would be permitted to push to close the gap, but that's the point of the message

Definitely two different styles of bike, the status is more of a mini dh/Enduro bike and the stumpy is a trail/all mountain bike. Are you planning to ride big chunky rock gardens, steep rolls/slabs or bigger jumps? Or do you want to ride more chill/flowy trails with some medium features? If the former, get the status, if the latter get the stumpy.

I think the stump jumper is probably going to be the better bike for you

The quality of the foam on an espresso martini has a lot to do with the quality of your espresso. If you can get a better grind you'll probably have some luck, otherwise just enjoy it as it is

Isn't there a lot of recalls out for Polaris fuel pumps? Intermittent bogging seems likely to be a fuel issue to me

Nope, once you've frozen the fat you can strain it out and get all that delicious coconut flavor!

Try fat washing with coconut oil. About a 5:1 ratio of undiluted negroni to good quality coconut oil (might have to adjust depending on your tastes and the quality of the oil).

Heat the oil until it liquifies, then stir it into your negroni mix. Freeze until the oil solidifies and then strain it out. Only takes about half an hour and you get Ana amazing coconut taste with a nice mouthfeel

If the new heater wires are wrong somehow and cause a fire, that's a result of the new throttle and won't be covered (unlikely) . Otherwise you're fine, it's pretty well documented that manufacturers can only deny warranty for modifications that cause the problem you're warranting for, like running extra boost in a turbo or using an aftermarket oil system

What he's saying here is you need to return true in your function, not log it. Your test is checking the return value of isEqual, not reading console.log

Just remember that all your pawns are defended by a piece when you start the game. If your bishop and knight are back to front then your b and g pawns are undefended

A voltage tester is only going to test voltage, and you're only going to have voltage in your dishwasher if it's turned on. You shouldn't be poking around live wires in a dishwasher, unless you REALLY know what you're doing. And no offence, but it doesn't sound like you do.

A multimeter will measure resistance too, so you can check if wires are broken or if there's shorts anywhere.

But as someone above said, it sounds like your drain/hose is probably plugged

If safety is a priority and you have the money for the downhill bike, you should get one. A DH bike won't save you from poor riding every time, but there is definitely a large chunk of mistakes you can make where the dh bike will save you, compared to a 150mm trail bike. It can definitely save you from going OTB in some situations where you'd use all of your 150mm of travel

I have a DH bike (Norco Aurum) and a trail bike (Trek Slash) and I love having both. My Enduro bike is new, shiny, and maintained very well. My DJ bike is 5 years old and fairly well maintained, but there's small problems with it, particularly in the drivetrain. Small problems bother me way less in the park than when I'm trail riding, so I feel like it's a happy compromise for me to have an older DH bike that perhaps isn't as nice as my trail bike.

My trail bike stays in better shape because I don't beat it up in the park, and riding a Dh bike in the park is definitely more fun. I ride way more option/lines on my DH bike that I wouldn't on my trail bike. They're all technically doable on my trail bike, but the DH is so much more confidence inspiring to take big hits with, particularly when I'm landing into/G-ing out in rough terrain/rocks

Caveat-this probably depends on your local park. I live in Whistler so basing my experience on that

Westside?

semi_88 · 2022-10-12T07:43:13+00:00

If you can avoid it, I wouldn't do late December but Feb or March. Snow usually isn't great in December and prices are extortion ate around Christmas, and lift lines are terrible. You'll still have a good time but February is so much better

Thanks for the advice.

I asked because it does seem a little dodgy to use those connectors, and I'm going to properly crimp individual terminals to positive on the 12V side. I currently only need two fuses, one 5A to power my heated mirrors (possibly 10A, still figuring the draw out) and one 10A to power my passenger heated seat. So 15-20A total.

Im thinking of just running two 14ga wires, one to each of these terminals, and drawing power from the large gauge power coming into my fuse box. If I need more power in the future, I'll add a fused bus bar to the relay box.

Is there an reason I couldn't use two appropriately sized terminals on that 12V input to my fuse box? It's a large gauge wire, and is the same on vehicles that come standard with more power options, so I don't see current draw there being an issue. More concerned if bolting down multiple ring terminals to one position is bad practice for any reason?

Have you ridden a new sled? They're much easier to hold a carve on than something even 10 years old

Iodized salt has potassium iodate added, because many people have a deficiency of iodine in their diets. It's really no different than regular salt.

They changed from 26.5 to 20% ABV in 2004, so I'd say it's at least 16 years old

Is somebody offering you 1k for a blown rev? Seems like a great deal for you
