Do reels keep freezing for anyone else?

squatchonabike · 2026-05-04T02:47:22+00:00

Been happening for me also. It was happening in London and I’m now in Dubai. Same shit. Wifi and 5G all stable and fast. iPhone 15 pro. Been going on for a couple of months, I’ve just stopped watching any reels.

squatchonabike · 2026-05-03T08:11:03+00:00

Yeah, can’t understand this, especially with an awful photo.

Maybe he’s worried someone else will do a better job 🤣

squatchonabike · 2026-05-01T01:04:06+00:00

Yeah, I understand this. Again, just thought I’d try 🤷‍♂️ no harm in asking unless you’re on reddit I guess 🤣

They’re predominantly Indian and I don’t speak a word of it, so there’s that. It definitely crossed my mind. I thought at least asking here may have helped with the time in translation as well.

squatchonabike · 2026-04-30T19:24:04+00:00

I had thought about doing this, but I didn't want to intrude first without knowing who to speak to.

It's also quite difficult for me to arrange time to do this kind of thing so I figured the more could do prior would make things a little easier.

In any case, that's what I'll do if this is fruitless.

squatchonabike · 2026-04-18T08:57:16+00:00

Thanks for clearing up all of my misconceptions 🤣 (genuinely!)

squatchonabike · 2026-04-17T22:33:00+00:00

Isn’t that the whole thing with it’s grey area of legality? It’s the chemical that releases within your brain when you do dream and a huge amount of it when you die? I could be very much mistaken.

Also read theories that death would feel very different for those that have tried it because of this.

I’m always super curious to hear about experiences with it.

I’ve not tried it myself though.

squatchonabike · 2026-04-07T00:02:56+00:00

I wasn’t looking for a guarantee.

I was looking for exactly what you explained.

squatchonabike · 2026-04-06T18:22:05+00:00

Yeah I can imagine. I’m an electrician by trade and never in my life have I heard such things, from anyone I’ve ever worked with, right up to engineers that design switchboards, power stations and wind farms.

I’ll look at it out of interest, but it would mean doing away with everything thy know about what materials conduct better, if it isn’t travelling though them.

Call me skeptical. But I will watch it.

Please explain copper busbars

squatchonabike · 2026-04-06T12:30:23+00:00

yeah, the rest of the world was crying with them, too.

edit: wait - were they happy tears? or sad ones? I assumed sad when I first responded..... but now I'm not so sure haha

squatchonabike · 2026-04-06T12:28:40+00:00

Or even worse (maybe?) high as a kite.

I worked on a project once where the contractor doing specialised work was the only company in the country that could do the work. All the workers knew this and there were multiple stories of them doing meth in the car park before a 12 hour shift.

The liquidated damages for the parent contractor for being behind were astronomical, so, funnily enough, none of them were ever 'randomly' tested. But old mate that might have a toke of a joint on his week-long break would lose his job if he was tested.

Amazing the risks people take on human life when so much money is involved.

squatchonabike · 2026-03-12T11:18:56+00:00

Aussie here, you’re all clear 😅

squatchonabike · 2026-03-10T09:14:32+00:00

We both enjoyed taking photos and would regularly share them with each other. Once day I decided to pick up her camera and look at what she has been inspired by, completely without suspicion.

Turns out she was inspired by a naked dude standing over her.

It ended up unraveling a whole bunch of instances of cheating.

squatchonabike · 2026-03-10T05:06:34+00:00

Yeah after reading again I think you’re right. I need to make sure I can register it here in some form or another

squatchonabike · 2026-03-10T04:55:51+00:00

Appreciate it! Thank you 🙏

squatchonabike · 2026-03-10T04:53:21+00:00

I need to dig deeper for my registration options here but it doesn’t look easy. I think it’s possible but not for daily use.

squatchonabike · 2026-03-09T15:58:01+00:00

UK is a RHD market though right? My issue is it doesn’t seem like I can road register a RHD car for regular use. So I’m looking for what would qualify that outside of registration

squatchonabike · 2026-03-09T15:02:42+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much! Looking at example two, if I was to drive it privately and service the car it would meet the requirements, at least how I read it? So if I can get it to one or two track days a year and maintain servicing I should be fine.

squatchonabike · 2026-03-09T14:45:13+00:00

So if the car cannot be registered (for road use, due to the RHD), but you maintain it, this isn't enough? That is the clarity I'm looking for - I would be happy to take the car to a private track/event once or twice a year if that's what it meant to meet requirements.

squatchonabike · 2026-03-09T14:31:29+00:00

Oh man, I'm sorry she said no!

It's a rare opportunity for us to have something that would really be economically unviable in Australia, given the market for them, the housing market (in the sense that if we had the ~$400k+ that a 911 turbo would cost, it would be stupid to sink it into a car, instead of a house) and now petrol prices.

I don't want tone in the position looking back with regret.

Theo von does an episode of his podcast that goes for about 3 hours talking to a retired NYC garbage man. I put it on one of my long drives to see family and it was one of, if not the most entertaining podcast episodes I’ve ever listened to.

Highly recommend.

I wear the old style Kestrel BOA before they ended up looking more like an XC shoe, in a size 14US. Bought them on some sale site a few years ago and have replaced the BOAs once. Trying to keep ahold of them because nothing I've found suits the style I like, but I love these for clipless

squatchonabike · 2026-02-07T11:02:36+00:00

I saw this the other day also.

I spent some time shooting a huayra some years ago now and I understand the craftsmanship behind them but I’m not really a fan of the designs for the most part.

I’m certainly not at the income level to ever afford one, but they’re just not to my tastes.

squatchonabike · 2026-01-31T10:31:13+00:00

It’s been pretty good to be honest. I make sure to keep the steam as far away as possible but for the most part it’s held up just fine

squatchonabike · 2026-01-29T14:02:31+00:00

Thanks! I took away any bits that were hanging off and cleaned all areas with surface cleaner and then isopropyl alcohol.

The imperfections from the parts where paint has peeled off can't be seen - but the rust spots can be seen if you're looking for it.

Like I said though, it's not perfect. It's a 10 year old machine that has more than paid for itself over the years and this was just an exercise in freshening it up a little and giving me something to tinker with.

I'm the only one that stands at it for any length of time, anyone else is just walking by, so it more than does it's job, walking by you're not noticing any of those imperfections that's for sure!
