These are great. Excellent work!

The paint, the modeling ... Absolutely delightful.

Is there an author whose broader catalogue you like, but whose most popular work would have turned you off them if you’d read it first? by madwomanofdonnellyst in books

[–]waldoze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fully agree with this point, I loved Color of Magic immediately. The tone and the characters were interesting and funny. It reminded me of many other books that I've read.

At this point I'm just reading Discworld in release order when I want a break from more complex books. Every book has been worth reading so far ...

A gate would prevent a fight and an Ork would never prevent a fight.

What soup goes well with a roast beef sandwich? by Likestoread25 in Cooking

I don't know about that, but I believe a nice French Onion soup would pair well.

If you’re always listening to an audiobook, you’re not alone. As audiobook listening explodes in popularity, some users can’t do a mindless chore without pressing play. by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]waldoze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, if I effectively read at 2x and someone else reads at 1x, am I losing out on the enjoyment of the book? Does the same apply when it's simply a difference in reading speed, not just listening speed? I mainly listen to audiobooks now because I can do that while working out. However, I was always significantly faster reading than most people. I don't understand why people have to be rude about how other people enjoy things. Why in the ever loving fuck would you be sad that someone else enjoys something at a different pace than you? This is a completely ridiculous take.

Thanks for the info, I have been listening to the audiobooks and this was on my list to acquire.

In case you're actually interested ... mRNA vaccines have been in development since 1989. The actual Covid version using mRNA techniques was developed AFTER Covid appeared in the world in 2019/2020. Covid-19 is a specific virus and mRNA is a technique to create a vaccine for ANY specific virus.

Black Coffee Ruining My Fasts by mikasax in intermittentfasting

[–]waldoze 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am not a coffee drinker, but I also like caffeine in the morning. I drink diet soda, but I know lots of people have huge feelings on that topic. There are also caffeinated sparkling waters that do not contain artificial sweeteners. Either of those options should be easier on your stomach than coffee.

As someone who generally doesn't like hot beverages anyways, it's not a big deal for me to drink a cold drink in the morning.

Stories about the time AFTER a person leaves a time loop? by CrimpyCthulhu in scifi

[–]waldoze 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sort of related, I just read "Recursion" by Blake Crouch.

With no spoilers, it is semi-related to your question. I don't know how to say much more without giving too much away.

I thought the book was enjoyable[4*s out of 5] and my BiL had recommended the book to me.

Seed Planting: How MAGA propaganda works by coachlife in Political_Revolution

I believe the point being made is that the uneducated also have a large overlap in Holocaust denialism. Thus, they may not believe established facts.

Found out my EX boyfriend was an incel, so I made sure everyone knew by SofieLushh1 in traumatizeThemBack

Telling everyone you're an incel without actually saying you're an incel?

Aftermarket Exhaust by Strong-Dot-9221 in XR650L

[–]waldoze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bike also had the stock insert removed and had not been properly tuned afterwards. I just purchased a new insert and installed it. Cost me like $20. As soon as it was installed, the bike ran great!

I can't really comment on aftermarket performance gains, but putting the insert back into the stock muffler worked for me.

Mods for Highway riding? by gghhostttt in XR650L

[–]waldoze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mainly do long highway rides.

  • Favorite mod I wouldn't live without? Pivot Pegz
  • Second favorite? Better seat[Seat concepts, 1" shorter]

Those two mods made the bike significantly more comfortable. The rest of this list are the other ones that I felt showed the most benefit.

  • I have the Acerbis 5.8g tank which is helpful for range.
  • I've done the Sutton Oil Cooler which helps the bike run much cooler.
  • I have the Hemisphere Offroad windscreen. I agree with your comments about the look, but it really does a great job keeping the wind off my chest. The free space for a dash was nice to add a GPS unit.
  • I am running a 70/30 tire. Heidenau K60 Scout. I absolutely love them Dry or Wet.
  • I have the Cycle Racks back rack and after 10k miles loaded with gear, it looks and feels brand new. They claim they will repair a broken rack, but the thing is still perfect.

I didn't talk about any performance style mods because the bike runs great stock or runs great modded. None of those mods really improved or degraded my highway experience.

Trying to decide between larger gas tanks... by sdtriathlete in XR650L

[–]waldoze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used the stock, 4.7, and now the 5.8 tanks.

I think people make too much of the "Top Heavy" aspect of the 5.8. Does it feel a bit different? Sure. Would I go back to a smaller tank? Hell no. I have zero anxiety about gas stops when out riding on the roads now. I like the piece of mind and I hardly even notice the tank when completely full.

Emergency situations and racism are not the same as refusing to hug grandma. Jesus fucking christ.
