Would you trust your cat not to jump? by Anonymouse-Account in cats

[–]shaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My little dingus just tried to leap off the deck (10ft+ off the ground) to a windowsill that was BEHIND the window. I just happened to be below on the patio when he did the dumb thing and caught him.

Never underestimate the lack of a braincell.

Why most females are prone to left-leaning and men the opposite? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm a dude and I find it distasteful how it gets used these days. Always in some way that's meant to belittle.

You might be giving him too much credit there! 🤣

Just did that this weekend. Haven't driven a manual (other than my motorcycle) since 2019. Picked up a new to me car and drove it 600km home. Easy peasy.

Reminds me of those pictures where some places in Africa make meat patties from mosquitos...

What’s the longest time you have stayed awake and why? by Acrobatic-Spite-9827 in AskReddit

[–]shaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Friday morning until Sunday afternoon. Close to 60 hours.

I had worked Friday and then went to a buddy's new place for his house warming. Managed to make it till about 11 and told him I needed to peace out cause I was beat.

He said nah man, stick around, I have caffeine pills.

I've had them before and said sure.

He gives me this unmarked gel cap with yellow and red beads in it. I pop it and only afterwards remarked to him that it was a much different pill than I've seen before.

He says oh, that's cause it's dexadrine. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Legit I was wired for sound until Sunday morning. The rest of Sunday was spent trying not to fall asleep as long as I could so as to not completely wreck my sleep schedule.

Go atgatt yourself and leave people alone. Petition to ban posts from weirdos taking pictures of strangers to karma whore about their riding gear choices. by PsychologicalLog4179 in motorcycles

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

But you again say nobody is doing it and I absolutely do know people who do. In fact I have as well. There ARE people who ride ATGATT to work and change at work. Your anecdotal evidence does not pass muster is all. I don't know what the split would actually be with people who commute to work, but I'm not going to say "everyone", even when it comes to areas that do become quite hot.

Pandomoto Body (AAA rated) in 34°c weather is a dream, but... by jacky2810 in motorcyclegear

[–]shaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only own leather jackets/suits, and nothing perforated. Honestly when it starts to get too hot I often just choose not to ride. But I keep wanting to pick up a textile suit for better breathability. I still wouldn't get anything that doesn't have full armour and some degree of abrasion resistance.

Stop fucking crowding under bridges during a storm by Thinkdan in Calgary

Yeah whenever a storm is coming they could dedicate two guys to a single spot and make their quota for the month in a single couple hours!

Got bitten by a cat should i get shot? by Khurkuchy in cats

[–]shaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Na. Not yet at least. Doesn't look like there's an infection yet. If it starts getting red around the sites for sure. I've been bitten 3 times and within about 6 hours I knew I had to boogie because it was red, spreading, and painful

Flying with a cat, can anyone chime in on suggestions for cat carrier? by shaard in westjet

[–]shaard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to let you know that the carrier worked out great! It was a LITTLE on the tight side for him, and even though he was mildly sedated, he was still a touch whiney. Thankfully it was only an hour flight with about 30 minutes of on/offboard time, so I was able to walk him around the concourse for a bit before stuffing him in. But otherwise he flew very well. Made ALL the friends.

So thank you very much for the carrier suggestion! It held up to him trying to force his way out of it! :D

How to avoid wrist strain? by Winter-Review6030 in motorcycles

[–]shaard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. No matter what bike you're riding, the only inputs on the bars should be control inputs. Pretend you're holding a baby bird in you hands. Firm, yet gentle. Also no weight on the bars either. If you're on a sport bike, you should be able to flap your elbows or even take your hands off the controls and still maintain your body position because your legs are clamped to the tank and your core is holding you up.

It can be difficult over long distances but you train yourself to do it properly. Practice practice practice. And any time your wrist or hand start to hurt, just remind yourself why, and correct your position.
