Is it common to buy used gear?

Im buying gear for the first time and it seems like everyone recommends to buy used (except maybe a helmet) to save money. But I cant imagine putting on gear that someone else has sweated in, that just grosses me out. Is it just me?

Will Apple replace my battery if there’s screen damage?

My iPhone 14 Pro has a small semicircle of dead pixels on the edge of the screen. It’s been there for a few years and hasn’t grown in size.

I really need to replace my battery but what will happen if they somehow break the screen or something else due to the dead pixels? Worth the risk or do I just get a new phone?

First time buying gear, a little overwhelmed

Hey guys, I’m planning on getting my first motorcycle soon (probably a ninja 500) and I’m overwhelmed with all the gear options. I definitely want to be as protected as possible but still be somewhat practical since I don’t want to walk around looking like a power ranger. So far I’ve only got gloves (rst tractech evo 4).

I think I’ll be doing a little bit of everything - riding around town, backroads, highways, and maybe track further down the line. I’d appreciate any advice for what kind of gear to get and what brands are good (I’m a pretty small person if that matters). As well as how you balance protection with practicality. Thank you!

Just finished and moved into my first wooden house, not even 30 mins later burnt it to the ground with a pit kiln

I hate myself

I thought I built it far enough under my house that it wouldnt catch fire but alas

Is crafting bugged?

New player here, it seems like every time I play I get a crafting bug at least once where i cant craft anything/the output is glitching out and I have to restart my game. Gets me out of my groove and is really annoying.

Is this happening to anyone else/is there an update or something I missed?

Anxiety driving on the highway

Its not that driving on the highway by itself makes me anxious. Its the other people.

So many times I’m just passing by someone and they start drifting closer to my lane and I get scared they’re going to change lanes into me. I speed up and half the time I look back in my mirror and they drift to the other side which makes me think they actually didn’t see me.

Or someone 2 lanes over is switching to the lane next to me, and because I’m not in their side view mirror they don’t see me, I’m worried they’re going to switch one more lane right into me.

And just people driving erratically and switching lanes suddenly. I can’t drive next to a car without eyeing them to make sure they don’t do something stupid.

Stuff like this happens to me nearly every time I’m on the highway and I don’t know what to do about it if anything. Anyone else experience the same thing?

What are you building in your forever worlds?

Im having trouble coming up with things to do in my world.

For those that are into farms and automation—are you coming up with the designs yourself? I only have a basic knowledge of redstone, and I wouldn't get any enjoyment out of copying and building a farm just for the sake of it.

Im more of a builder, but Im lacking inspiration on what to build. I have a couple towns that have their own theme (castle, winter village, desert town, etc) and somewhat connected lore but im not sure what else to do besides just build another town.

Is it possible to build a big chest, triceps, and shoulders with only partial ROM?

Due to elbow issues, I get pain when my elbow flexes past 90 degrees. I am wondering if its possible at all to build muscle when I can only do 1/3 range of motion.

I can do shoulder presses, dips, bench press, etc. I just cant go past 90 otherwise I get pain.

Can anyone else also tell when someone’s about to change lanes

Even before their blinker is on. Like people will just hover around a gap or stay close to one side of the lane.

Plenty of times I’m like that person wants to merge, and 5 seconds later they merge with or without blinker

How are people using aeronautics in their survival worlds?

I’m looking for inspiration for what to build in my own survival world. Airships and stuff don’t really have a purpose with my elytra and me not needing to travel long distances.

Ideally looking for things I can integrate into my builds to make them more lively. For example I already use base create for things like fans, elevators for my apartment complexes, stuff like that.

Just stumped on what I can use aeronautics for besides long distances travel.

How do you buy a first (used) bike with no mechanical knowledge?

I’m getting my first bike which will probably be used to save money. But I dont have any idea how to check if a bike is in good condition/worth it.

Also I wouldnt be comfortable riding the bike home, how would I transport it? I dont have any friends that ride.

Any advice is appreciated

How much can I rev the civic hybrid?

The tachometer doesn’t show RPMs instead it shows % power or something. I regularly get up to 75% on the highway while passing or on the on ramps. Is that fine for the car or should I ease off it a little?

Straight asian hair - normal for a perm to not even last 2 months?

I got a digital (wave) perm about 2 months ago and the waves went away like 1.5 months in even though my stylist said it usually lasts 2-3 months. They did say my hair is quite strong.

Anyone with similar hair have experience with wave perms?

How do yall keeping your joints healthy?

I’ve been lifting for a few years and have started getting elbow and shoulder issues. I practice very good form and rarely ego lift.

Is there a simple way to ensure healthy joints when lifting long term? Curious to know if anyone does anything specific for their joints.

First bike—ninja, Z, or eliminator 500?

I’m a short rider with a 28 in inseam and I’m getting my first bike. I can’t choose between these 3. I’m probably just gonna be riding around town and highways.

Would love advice choosing between these and what their biggest differences are.

im 5'3" with a 28 inch inseam, looking for a first bike. For reference I rode a CB300r and I was pretty high on my tippy toes, but it was somewhat manageable since its so light.

I don't like the look of the rebel, and i'm ok not flat footing a bike. Im open to any type, cruiser, naked, sport (as long as its not super leaned forward). I also like the scrambler look, but they seem to be on the taller side.

I think Ill mostly be doing city, backroads, and highway riding.

Any suggestions appreciated!
