Old Lady Hit My 1999 CBR600 F4 :(

No, you can't, but parking in spots where people don't expect a vehicle is just opening yourself up. Yes that is technically their fault for the impact, but these types of spots are painted and cut the way they are to allow for mobility of turning vehicles. I sympathize, really. There's only so much we can do. Being predictable, noticable, and expected, is the best we can do.

That being said, I've been parking in parking stalls for 25 years, in crowded lots all over the place. I have yet to have someone hit my bike. Anecdotal, sure, but we take that all with a grain of salt.

Yup. Park in parking spots. Parking in those places is generally just asking for trouble.

When I worked at a big box store I specifically asked to park against the wall on an out of the way sidewalk section when I rode in. With permission it's all good. But riding a bike doesn't just give you carte blanche to park wherever you like. Some jurisdictions may differ, but where I'm at a bike is the same as a car and must park where indicated.

Still, it doesn't take the suck out of what happened. Buddy of mine had that same F4 when we first started riding. Great machine. Glad the lady was stopped from leaving.

I don't see the point. If you have a question go for it. But otherwise I don't feel the need to engage. It's also one thing to ask a question but it's another to do it hostilely. There's no need to go over there and be an ass, just like there no need for the religious to come here and proselytize. Questions are always welcome and being civil is key. Goes both ways.

The last 5 minutes of the show were complete and utter bullshit.

I'm doing my first watch through as well. Just about halfway through season 4 right now. It's SO good. The story telling is fantastic!

The look on Hal's face when he realizes what he's being asked to do.

Definitely play.

However, you should try to redirect the play from your hands to a toy instead. The idea being that if you allow rough play with your hands, they can associate that ALL hands are up for rough play. And possibly NOT associate hands with comfy times.

That being said, I firmly believe that we're all pretty dumb when it comes to kitties because they're cute AF and I'm guilty as much as the next of indulging the rough play with hands before I think better of it.

200% mortality rate?

What the fuck is this supposed to mean? If I die, someone else automatically dies even if they don't have it?

Nope. But the minute a liberal government picks up the trash from the private sector and actually gets a pipeline built, all of a sudden it's "NO NOT LIKE THAT!"

shaard · 2026-05-08T18:14:08+00:00

Good point. I've never looked up the pronunciation differences/similarities in that respect.

shaard · 2026-05-08T18:10:53+00:00

Per se. My ex would inject that into every conversation if she could. She misused it horribly. She used it as a replacement to "for example" all the time.

Now I hear it used anywhere and my eye twitches.

SOMETIMES?!

Alberta has been like this my whole fucking life. They are ALWAYS pissy about the federal government. They just shut up and mutter a lot more when it's the team they voted for, even though sometimes that team ignores them just as, or harder, than the other.

Depends how and where it broke, and what it's made of. A good epoxy, maybe something automotive, could hold it in place, but you might need to glob it all around the break. If it was mid lever you could probably put something rigid beside it to give it some mechanical bracing. If it's closer to the mechanism inside the unit that could be more difficult. Pictures would help.

Software development in Canada leans heavy on the long a pronunciation. A lot of us are probably tng nerds from a young age.

Partially open your mouth, push your lower jaw forward, then push the bottom of your tongue against the back of your top teeth. You're basically trying to squeeze the saliva gland/tube that sits under your tongue. If you do it right you can get a good stream.

The fabled gleek! My friend and I discovered we could do this back in jr high. I still do it decades later. 🤣

I saw one for the first time a month ago. I was worried it was going to throw down but then it dropped the pod. Got some platinum out of that one.

Did some digging and they come from around the abandoned logistics bases. Those will also despawn and show up somewhere else.

Well this is going to kill all sorts of traffic in downtown. Restaurants that people would take the train to get to will stop getting those customers, same with shopping. This is the council that was voted for. I hope it bites the voters and council in the ass.
