I have the opportunity to buy this. It probably needs a top end at least, as the compression feels pretty weak when kicking it over. Transmission condition unknown. I assume cables, bushings, fuel lines, seals, carb etc will need to be gone through. Looks like a great project but I’m unsure of the what I should pay for it. Any insight on this is welcome! What would you pay for it?
I highly suspect that my own brain fog is caused at least partly by high screen time and consumption of short form content. I’ve recently reduced doom scrolling to almost nothing, and it feels like I’m withdrawing from a drug. I’m anxious, and a bit irritable. But I also feel more present and I’m feeling emotions that I feel were blunted over the years.
Just curious how many of you with chronic fog also have high short form content consumption. And if anyone fixed or improved fog by reducing screen time I’d love to hear about it.
I’ve been watching his content on YouTube for years. Huge YouTube channel, a pioneer in their niche. I wouldn’t say I was even a huge fan, but the page was always in my algorithm and it was genuine cool entertaining content. He was always happy and supporting others.
A few months ago he was involved in a car accident, and disappeared from the channel for a few months. Next time I saw him, he looked unhealthy, moving slow, sort of frail. I thought dang, bummer. Hope he is doing ok.
A few days ago it comes out that he had passed away, with the prevailing rumor being that it was self inflicted. Apparently his dad had passed away recently as well.
Now I’ve heard of people dying from all types of various causes but for some reason when I heard that this one was self inflicted, it really hurt. Despite never having met or talked to him, I’m brought to tears thinking about it.
My feeds are flooded with old pictures and videos of him from years past. It’s very strange to see someone having fun, being happy, living in the moment, and knowing that it’s going to end in tragedy far too early.
And I think that’s what’s getting to me. It’s not about this person, really. Maybe it’s more about witnessing someone’s life go from great to ending in a horrific tragedy within a few months.
I then thought of how often this type of thing happens to normal people on a daily basis. Nameless people just trying to survive, and they just disappear. We even have veterans taking their own lives at a rate of hourly in the US, and nobody bats an eye as if it’s a normal part of life.
I’m not sure why, but anything where someone takes their own life just really hits me hard. I guess I maybe just empathize with becoming so utterly lost, that the only solution is to end it all despite leaving others behind.
Maybe I need to be reminded how fragile life is. And that no matter what status or money you have, nobody is immune from this stuff. Everything good is fleeting.
It feels odd to be crying over a person I’ve never met, but here we are. Smile more, document the good times, and check up on your friends.
Rest easy brother.
My iPhones. 4, 5s, 6s+, XR, and now 13 mini. I’ve only had the mini a few days and I love it. The xr and 6 feel comically large in comparison. Phones really need to be this size again. I’d go back to the iPhone 4 again if it was still supported.
My iPhone Xr screen is failing and the battery also needs replaced so I’m considering upgrading. I’d love to return to something small like an iPhone 5. Highly considering getting a 13 mini.
For anyone who has recently purchased a “refurbished” or “certified” 13 mini where did you get it? What was your experience like?
