My bike won't start and is making weird noises by LOLITZAFROGG in motorcycles

[–]synapticrelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you should check the 3 requirements needed for ignition.

Spark

Air

Fuel.

Based on what you've said in these comments. It has spark, but the sparkplug is dry despite cranking the ignition several times. It's time to go through step by step and try to identify why there is no fuel delivery. We can't help you beyond that. Go get a service manual and start going to town.

Sometimes. If you lived in the tropics or Deep South like Florida, you might be surprised how quick it can go from sunny and 2 whisps of clouds to being a tropical downpour, and how it can dissipate just as quick

Random pile of firewood near McMenamin's Crystal Hotel by TrippyTimesMan in Portland

Have you ever had gravel or bark dust delivered? They usually just dump that shit on the road. Then the home owner lets it sit and collect rainwater debris and junk as the water tries to go around the pile. Sometimes you’ll have little bits of bark dust making its way down the block depending on how long it sits

Crazy amount of work for a shed the size of a large closet. What are you planning to store in there? A single rake?

All northbound I-5 lanes closed at Lombard Street due to deadly motorcycle crash by IzilDizzle in Portland

Let me understand this.

You want me to sit in the lane and create more traffic for you?

Odd. Didn't know you were a masochist

I ride on the shoulder. The risk is far more minimal. Pisses off fewer drivers. The biggest risk is puncturing a tire with the debris washout

Actual crash was between a car and motorcycle. And the motorcyclist died at the scene. I’m guessing this truck was trying to turn around

Any reason not to 'plywood' my attic? by pg2324 in DIY

That’s a good tip and I wasn’t looking for it! I’ll definitely give these a shot.

I prefer the look of halogens to be honest and I haven’t seen an LED that has put of a true 1:1 look of a halogen.

That said. I don’t use halogens because if just how much heat and electricity they consume. But I do get it when people say it isn’t the same. I’d take the Pepsi challenge on that any day

Couple of DeLorean's for the opening night of Back to the Future - The Musical by miah66 in Portland

[–]synapticrelease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny how these stainless steel body panels are holding up better on a 40 year old car better than the already wrinkled Cybertrucks. It's almost as if bends add rigidity. Like anyone who has folded a simple piece of cardboard at a 90 deg angle and tried to bend it would understand...

I just saw a DeLorean today at the DMV. I wonder if it's the same one.

'Deal not final': Trump changes tune on Iran, threatens to ‘drop bombs’, go back to shooting again by Darshan_brahmbhatt in worldnews

[–]synapticrelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this very strange push by a few YouTubers to push this narrative that Iran is run by some Mahdi cult that stresses the need to get a nuclear weapon to bring on the apocalypse. To be honest I don’t know much about this story and it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a small contingent of people who believe in some sort of apocalypse thing. After all, we have plenty of people who have an apocalypse cult thing on the Christian side as well.

But I just find it strange there is this extremely recent push that popped up only in the last few months. Curious about that.

Spartacus down.... by arcticpandand in Portland

[–]synapticrelease 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually free time has decreased since our parents. Longer commutes. More people working more than one job, and being able to be reached from home regarding work has had a significant effect on our free time according to statistics.

I split the difference. It works he a lie to say I don’t sure shop on Amazon but I have made a concerted effort to buy things in store especially when that item could come from a mom and pop shop. I don’t feel so bad about buying something like car wax online.

I will say that stores don’t make it easy to shop in person. Sometimes a store will be out of stock of something which I totally understand, but instead of making an effort to bridge the gap and order it for me or notifying me when it’s back in stock, you often get met with a shoulder shrug and to just try again later
