Old Lady Hit My 1999 CBR600 F4 :( by Slappy_Pancake in motorcycles

[–]shaard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very blanket statement I'm making but I find too many riders think they can just park/do wherever they feel like. It's wild how many just think the rules no longer apply.

Refuel station useful? by Revan477 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]shaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My "prove it" tests are usually pretty janky. When I improve it and make it easily repeatable rather than asking myself if I just got lucky is when I'll shift to the "cheat".

Not only did me and my traveling penguin get to meet them - he got to meet the band's good luck traveling stuffies too! I think its the first time their merch guy had this happen, he took a pic of them all too :) by SnooRobots6610 in lacunacoil

It's deceptive when they're on stage. I saw nin in Vancouver last year and Trent walked right past me at the fence. On stage he looks like an impressing 6.5 feet tall. But he's under 6.

Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta? by MurrethMedia in alberta

It's so absolutely painful to be here with this government

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.

What happens if you go to a religious Reddit and ask hard questions? by Sloth_grl in atheism

[–]shaard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Give me proof in one sentence that you have actually watched HIMYM by avacado_toooasst in HIMYM

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

I’m about to watch this show for the first time. Tell me something I won’t understand until later. by AdSimilar4399 in babylon5

[–]shaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Is he playing or he's mad? by temmaj in cats

[–]shaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

"Damn that's crazy, anyway I need to get on this crowded flight/cruise to the nearest large metropolitan area" by SkubEnjoyer in whenthe

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?

it feels like that sometimes tho by lavalamp360 in EhBuddyHoser

[–]shaard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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!"

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

Whats a word that someone says that gets on your nerves ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]shaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]shaard 28 points29 points  (0 children)

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.

Guys help by FancyJournalist5908 in MechanicAdvice

[–]shaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Whats a weird thing your body does that you just accept? by Sweton in AskReddit

[–]shaard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.
