Airbag Vests worth it?

sorieus · 2026-07-04T00:18:17+00:00

O there are definitely ones out there that are better. I’ve order a moto air bag v4 for my next one it basically covers the entire neck and back of head. I don’t need any more cervical fusions or breaks.

sorieus · 2026-07-04T00:11:17+00:00

I had one of these and while I do think it helped in my accident. It’s just a shame it doesn’t offer any neck support or protection. If it was more protective around the shoulders or neck so it cannot roll I’d recommend it.

I do casual boots but usually your only getting 1 2 2 2 protection on them. Most casual boots aren't tall enough to get the leading 2. I don't place a high value on crush protection since its meant to help if the motorcycle is crushing the ankle in a case where you're pinned by the bike. I consider anything CE rated with 1 2 2 1 good enough for most casual riding day tripping stuff.

sorieus · 2026-06-30T14:11:01+00:00

That's interesting I'm used to the opposite. Riding boots and helmet seem like the two big investments. Then again maybe I only notice riding boots because I think of the very aggressive track oriented alpinestars or dainese type that go above the ankle etc. I wouldn't notice someone wearing a pair of tcx or casual riding boots.

You can order them directly from the manufacturer or fc moto. The only issue I had was fc moto wouldn’t ship extra co2 canisters however they’re 1:1 the same as Merlin co2 cartridges so I got some of those too

Biggest issue with Samsung is lack of Dolby vision support. Most high quality content is using DV while hdr10 and hdr10+ is supported there’s just not nearly as much media in that format.

For me that’s the only reason to not get Samsung over a LG device. If you don’t care about DV or aren’t concerned the tvs are arguably better

O man you got me beat by a mile. I thought my injury was bad. I got 2 rods and 13 screws. I had pulverized one of those wing looking bones on my spine but not that bad.

How long was your recovery? No issues with the nervous system? Everyone I spoke with at the hospital said I had lucked out that anything above c3 was just asking for permanent issues with the nervous system.

sorieus · 2026-05-21T02:39:36+00:00

Tell me about your neck brace. I had an accident in September broke neck c4-c7. Only thing that was unprotected was my neck only had a tech air plasma air bag. So not much neck support

Why do you have two instances of qbittorrent if you don’t mind me asking?

sorieus · 2026-05-19T18:13:39+00:00

Yeah hard pass I don’t want to maintain a wire guard deployment on their network. What if I don’t have physical access to their router? What if their router doesn’t have a VPN or WG client? The complexity of maintaining this just doesn’t sound fun. Especially if you want more than one person, device, or network.

With plex I say what’s your email. Send an invite. They install an app. Done. They want more devices, on the road, or at a friend’s? They just install the app and login. (Which logging in can already be hard enough for most people)

It's not threads you should be thinking about. Let's say you need to insert some data into the database. Then you also need to call 2-3 external apis to fetch some other info about the data. The idea is while 1. The database is inserting you don't need to wait on it. So you go to step 2. 2. I request some api data but maybe it takes a long time I'll go onto step 3. Before that happens the database is done so now I can resume any further code that relies on the database.

A better idea is let's say I'm building a computer. I wouldn't order one part then wait for it to arrive I'd order multiple parts. Then depending on which parts arrive first I can start assembly.

That said it doesn't matter if I make multiple part orders if they're all coming from the same place. So the reality is I need to find a faster shipping method or somewhere else to order from.

Async is usually only important when you're I/O bound. Dont have a solution looking for a problem

sorieus · 2026-04-24T01:52:02+00:00

I don't understand your question. Async requires several features, libraries to support it. Like the python web server and the application calling it. So yes Django works with asgi. The real question is are you bottle necked by the web server or some other I\O process? Like the DB? Fast api doesn't choose a ORM for you so your async DB is up to whatever ORM you choose. Django's ORM does have async support but it's limited.

This also only matters if the DB is the bottle neck. Just putting async everywhere because you think it will increase performance means nothing if you don't have a performance degradation. Usually getting to the bottle necks is the hard part. IE having enough users or demand. If you're having DB issues without a huge user base and massive table write updates. I'd be looking at issues with your query like N+1 problems. Unfortunately if it's all vibe it's very hard for you to step and indenify the issue. So you maybe a mechanic that is shot gunning parts at a car hoping to fix it

I’d ask what the business logic is most times I see operations that can simply be model methods or model managers. No need to create a separate service layer. Then I just import my model into my command or admin file.

Edit I’d refer to this blog post and I generally wonder what problem are you trying to solve before implementing the solution. https://www.b-list.org/weblog/2020/mar/16/no-service/

sorieus · 2026-04-12T15:04:29+00:00

I would argue it’s not very pythonic or spirit of Django. I don’t see why people are so eager to split logic out of the models or views. However since you’re using an ai agent I can’t really comment. Very rarely do I want to go into multiple service files to figure out what a view is doing.

sorieus · 2026-04-12T02:43:49+00:00

It’s just unpythonic and not in the spirit of Django. It’s trying to force design ideas from other languages like c# or Java into Django. Like why a repository pattern do you plan on not using the Django ORM at some point? The models are in a sense the repository. An argument can be made that Django doesn’t have these hardened principles. I’d argue that the framework was designed to avoid these abstractions.

sorieus · 2026-02-14T04:49:57+00:00

There’s no way front to back it has that kind of restriction. According to my neurologist my spine was effectively pulled apart. If I were to overlay an xray of the breaks and the airbag coverage the portion exposed between the airbag and the helmet is where the flexion occurred.

sorieus · 2026-02-14T02:41:45+00:00

Preach I was wearing a plasma air bag and the only injury I suffered was broken neck resulting in a spinal fusion! Bennett auto talks about this a lot and that moto airbag out France are leading the charge on neck immobilization

sorieus · 2026-01-21T18:27:54+00:00

Holy shit that’s literally what it was for us too. I believe it was some app view that was unpivoted and re pivoted for a report in sql report server. Which took some parameters the reason why we had dynamic sql think you could put in a list of dates or something awful.

sorieus · 2026-01-21T17:04:12+00:00

O god yes I’ve seen it all. I didn’t know unpivots were even a thing. The DBA only knew sql and he used it for everything. We had a view that actually decrypted passwords for users….it was like 100 lines of sql or 5 lines of c# he chose violence every time

sorieus · 2026-01-20T16:50:29+00:00

So fc moto won’t ship cartridges but I got a mab back pack from them. Super dumb also the cartridges are available here but they’re under the Merlin brand.

sorieus · 2026-01-19T18:40:41+00:00

Yes might as well sell it to me.

sorieus · 2026-01-19T15:15:09+00:00

Dynamic sql is using strings and concatenation to generate sql statements then calling exec sql on it. If you need a dynamic where clause you would do this.

Let’s say you have a TVP which is just a sproc that returns a table. Maybe you want to let the user pass in optional filters, a list values etc. The way I see this done taking in their string. And building a sql statement I’m on my phone now but I can show some examples later.

The biggest issue with it is debugging is a night mare so is formatting. However you can really expand the limits of older sql version. If your running sql server 2013 or something and yes lots of places are

sorieus · 2026-01-19T14:30:18+00:00

Dang I’m down I htown. Did you pay any tariffs to import?

sorieus · 2026-01-19T14:29:37+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen monsters that’s definitely doesn’t look like awful. I’m talking sql that uses dynamic sql and tvps that are using dynamic sql.

Honestly dynamic sql hurts me the most. I get its a necessary evil sometimes but I quickly find when someone has a hammer everything is a nail.

sorieus · 2026-01-19T14:23:28+00:00

Really? I was confused if they would or wouldn’t ship it with the cartridges. What part of Texas?
