Learning from a small crash

Learning from a small crash

So I have been wanting to get my endorsement for a while, looking at either a used moto guzzi or more likely a kawasaki 230.

Went to a friends house for the 4th and they have a coleman mini bike. I of course rode it. I’ve done so years prior with no accidents. This time I went to stand while riding, and I think when I changed my hand position I came off the throttle a bit, and then since I wasn’t sitting the balance was off, and down I went.

i have to admit I imagine myseld having a hard time with a real motorcycle. I am very comfortable on mountain bikes, and pretty good on Lime mopeds. I’m just not used to having so much torque, and having it lose speed so quickly if you come off the throttle. I know this would be taught in class, but just curious for advice on power control.

Non flowering options? Sorry

I know that it sort of defeats the purpose, but my family is very allergic to bees. I tend to leave them alone and can be comfortable, but my SO gets super nervous. It’s hard enough trying to convince to ditch grass, but I’m looking for alternatives to grass that aren’t water thirsty, or flower. We can figure out bushes and stuff probably but advice is appreciated. this is in Seattle btw

Do I have a leak attracting damselflies?

at the entrance to my house these damselflies are SWARMING. In similar numbers to bees with a lot of flowers around. In particular they just hug the wall, so many they even get in my garage on the other side of the wall and die. Ive read they like water, but we have no water feature or pond or nothing. Is there a hidden puddle they are at, or could it be something else?

Got a good deal on a roomba 205. Concerned about the company and looking for alternatives?

I had told myself that when I moved I would get a robot vacuum. while in target today they had a 205 for $250 off, down to $199. I have it ready for pickup but havent grabbed it yet.

When I looked it up to see function and stuff the official video mentioned an app which I’m not huge on, especially since the parent company is in not the best spot rn. I’m not really ready to drop 500+ on a vacuum so I like this deal but is it worth it even at the price I have?

If not I’m open to suggestions. I have hard floors, no pets (right now). The biggest things for me is I want lidar at most cause I’m just suspicious of a camera (I have a phone case that blocks them, so it’s not hypocritical), and I dislike any AI bullshit and internet/ software tethers. If it has an app i can kinda live with it, that connects via bluetooth or something. basically if the company dies I don’t want a brick and I want the ability to use it if the internet goes out. I want one that’s ”stupid” or at the very least smart but self contained.

Does that don’t rust as easily?

I have Lee and RCBS dies. I make sure to keep them coated in a rust protectant, they stay inside, I even have camphor in the drawers too. but the RCBS always likes to get little flecks of rust, and the Lee is pretty bad, Ive found a lot of lees stuff does. do any companies use a more resistant steel? how much of a dork would I be if I got dies titanium nitrated? (Increases lubricity too)

[P5V12] What is the communities view on this?

After the first season of the anime I got impatient and started borrowing my friends LNs. I finished the series a few months ago. As my first LN series I loved it, and for like 95% of it I liked it. But I can’t say it’s totally perfect.

Both me and my friend aren’t exactly Myne x Ferdinand enjoyers if you catch my drift. I really liked how they established their platonic relationship and was so sad to see him leave. Except by the later stages of p5 he is kinda fuckin freaky with her, like feeling her hair against his lips. I liked seeing him being more open of his care for her; we only really saw that when she was poisoned. But having there be romantic feelings behind it just feels kinda off.

Theres the epilogue which has me a bit confused too. It’s from the perspective of her lower family, who witness her getting all flustered with ferdinand and have her pegged as into him. On the one hand it’s just an obvious, cute situation of them flirting, on the other hand, it could be what other people have been “seeing“ this whole time. When people question their relationship it’s been from mynes perspective, so this could be is finally seeing it from the other aisle, explaining why people thought they were into each other.

So am I just stupid, and they are still platonic, or is it romantic, having evolved over time. And if it is romantic (which i think it is), what do you think of it? I have to admit it seems to be handled fairly naturally, I just don’t know if I like it. I prefer them being sibling like.

Double question. Have wanted to start getting into comics. Some are less obvious about if they are part of a series, are there tells if they don’t have a clear 1/4 or whatnot? And is it typical for there to be ads in between the story pages? They weren’t even timed well, just random

Idiot trying to make shadow box, what tools do I need?

I have glue, should probably get box clamps. Was thinking a hand plane, a ryoba, and maybe a miter box. I’d like to reinforce the corners, should I use screws or nails?

I have rockler and woodcraft stores nearby if their in-house brands were good, but I’m trying to keep it fairly budget. I loved shop class and I like woodworking but I don’t do it all the time

Did the 110mm buff “nerf” ORC, even with its buff?

IM NOT SAYING TO NERF THE 110!

They finally feel actually worth bringing, and are in a good spot. I just think that the ORC needs a shorter cooldown, or maybe even a eagle-esque 2 uses before cooldown. I know, real original ideas. it’s just that at this point, the only enemies it kills are the Factory strider and Vox? There is just too big of a gap in the enemy pool. 110s can take out bile titans and down, and I don’t think it’s cooldown is justified to bring for only 2 uncommon enemy types.

Submitted FFL03 change of address typed, do I need to redo?

Moved and filled out the change of residence form. The PDF online is editable so aside from the expected move date, date, and signature, I typed it all. Then I printed it, signed, scanned. Emailed the scan to the ATF, and took the paper to my CLEO. Looking at the form now it says at the top “all entries must be in ink”. But they take digital forms now, so is this just something that didn’t get edited? Or do I need to do it over.

Feel free to laugh. I bought a rekey kit from HD and it’s just been an experience. The core will not move. Key goes in fine but it’s stuck like this.

idk what I did wrong. the first time I did this some of the top pins came out so I actually had to rebuild the whole thing, and then it still didn’t work, did it again and now its stuck. I know that I should just call the pros, but they want $120 to rekey two locks, and money is tight after the move

Cheaper mover; not a ton of time needed

I’m moving about 15 miles on the east side. Not a ton of stuff, and no packing needed. was quoted from first due about $1100, mainly due to a 4 hour minimum, which I doubt we will hit. I know you get what you pay for and labor costs money but if anyone knows companies a bit cheaper I’d appreciate it. The movie is already stretching me quite thin

Picked up this somewhat rusty Ruger mk i. This is what it looks like after steel wool and oil. Is it worth boiling and carding? If i have to grind to get a smooth finish then I’m just gonna leave it.
