88h88 posted:Instead of having that little weird clip that apparently breaks all the time, they could've put the door release button into double duty by making it a switch for the electric release and a full on button you can depress for manual release. 2 birds, one stone, cleaner design to boot. is this something you've seen before, or did you come up with this idea. I ask because my mind is kind of blown right now.

Maybe instead of an electronic button that is prone to fail, they could have some kind of mechanical linkage to open the door instead? I swear, back in my day we had to stick our feet through the floor and run while yelling "yabba dabba doo"

I'm okay with people driving large vehicles like RVs and triple axle trailers. What I won't excuse are those vehicles lumbering down the passing lane at 75+

N is for Nipples posted:I've started taking bad driving a lot more personally since getting a motorbike. It's easy to let it slide in a vehicle that will probably protect me from anything but the worst accidents, but when death or serious injury is a probability in any given accident it really raises the stakes. I have no idea how otherwise normal people (who don't actively want to die) ride motorcycles. 1. you sound too old to be getting into motorbikes 2. some people ride them on race tracks

N is for Nipples posted:1. I can't even drink yet. okay, I guess I could ask what you mean by motorbike. Is this a practical type of bike you are riding out of necessity, or is it a 1,000 cc 200 mph rocket. I assumed you had a recreational type of bike so it seemed odd that someone would get upset about putting themselves on the road willingly.

Not only is it fun, but it adds some degree of justification to all my bitching about bad driving while simultaneously allowing me to risk my life to a considerable degree. Negligent drivers kill tons of people either way, whether they're on 2 wheels or not, but I've both decreased my risk of being seen before someone hits me and severely increased my chance of injury should someone hit me. It's completely illogical, knowing what kind of people drive out here (and everywhere) and what they do while driving. The thing is the danger of riding is very apparent to anyone old enough to care. It's also the meat of the image you can enjoy as a biker. To use it properly you have to shrug it off with a smile or otherwise never ever say something like, N is for Nipples posted:I ride what most would consider a commuter bike, and I do it recreationally, but it has almost entirely replaced my 4-wheeled ride.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Side effect of the diverticulitis - if you want the gross nitty-gritty, basically a stretched-out pocket formed in my large intestine/colon and over time, waste got trapped and caused an infection. The day I ended up in the ER I felt some stabbing pain in my abdomen and found that the diverticular spot had more or less popped like a big pimple/abscess and started leaking infected fluid that took up residence between my large intestine and abdominal wall. It actually felt really good when they numbed up my abdomen, inserted a catheter below my belly button and drew about 40-50mL of gross yellow pus out of the colon abscess I'll bet man, what were the risks had it not been caught? Do they have to scrub your innards to get everything disinfected, or is it enough to remove the leakage and tighten you back up.

MiniFoo posted:Yes, let's joke about seventy innocent dead people and the hundred more who were injured. Good call. I felt it was a statement of fact, albeit flawed in its accuracy, but hardly ridicule. There are tragic things in the world and they invoke many strong emotions, but I think it's still important to be as objective as possible. Had these or other types of speed notification systems been installed on that road and sidewalks, this disaster may have been averted.

I've done worse. I did a superman for at least a mile between the fast lane and carpool lane during rush hour traffic. If the name isn't obvious, a superman is basically planking on the bike. I was on the 5 back to Los Angeles from San Diego. I had the idea and you think, "lol that's crazy no way, gently caress you brain." But the thought that bothered me was looking back and being ashamed that I didn't have the balls. So I kinda feel sorry for this guy.

Disgruntled Bovine posted:Yep. I have no desire for you to die, I just don't want you taking anyone with you. yeah looking back it's pretty obvious how selfish it is to endanger other people for my own thrills. Part of the problem is fixed with maturity and the remainder is avoided by not having a 1,000cc motorcycle anymore.

ooh that's nice you could use this thing I built ten years ago  it's all pipe thread. -used fire extinguisher -various pipe threaded fittings from any plumbing or general hardware store -your choice of air valve, a cheap tire pressure gauge combo will do (also has pipe thread fittings) -truck horn from any freight truck supply store

spog posted:That is seriously impressive. I bet you made a version with flames - go on, admit it. thank you thank you for my next trick, I will use a compressed flammable gas for a propellant. day 0: Got a tank of propane. The attendant at the gas station looked at me funny but we're good to go. I'm going to wait a day 3: No feds. The adiabatic cooling is making the reed valve freeze internally. The higher the psi the faster it happens. I only get a yelp before it turns to hissing. day 4: igniting the propane to ward off the freezing isn't going to work. The flame only makes it so far into the neck of the horns and it doesn't heat the reed valves. day 5: the horns are plastic and I had buy new ones after melting the first set yesterday. day 6: Attached a heat sink to the back of the reed valves and that seems to ward off the freezing for a few seconds. I have an activation duration of about 2 seconds and a cooldown of 10 seconds. day 7. asked some of my friends to witness me. said they'd come by day 8: IT'S WORKING! It's finally working and I can get flames shooting out with the use of a few pilot lights. Sounds great! Now they'll hear AND see me coming. day 22: been really busy the past two weeks. I got an order from the guy in charge and he wanted me to multiply this across ten cars, fifteen horns each. Almost done. day 30: We lost earl to a propane tank explosion but everyone is too busy geeking out at this super sick flame setup to notice he's missing. That sucks. day 33: We're on the road and I was told my horns are perfect, perfect in every way.

a Police-man on parking lot duty told me I needed to use my blinker while making the only turn I could make at the time (like everyone else). I almost told him he needs to lose weight but I didn't because apparently he likes harassing people trying to get an education so they don't have to direct traffic in college parking lots. Thanks and god bless

Cage posted:Use your blinker all the time even if you're the only one on the road in a turn only lane, please. It was a parking lot, at a T and he's standing in the intersection to help with our zipper because that justifies an hourly wage. I left my signal off because I didn't want to insult his intelligence or be facetious. There was nowhere else I could go, it was silly. Then he dropped his hands and stared for a couple seconds and asked me which way I was going. I pointed and it didn't occur to me what he was getting at, and then he said I need to turn my blinker on. According to his vest and patches he's Police police They give these people guns and that poo poo is disturbing.

Today he placed hisself out on the street to direct traffic at the outlet. lol The blinker thing was an honest mistake but I get the feeling trouble has found me now, and I don't need to be on youtube as don't taze me bro #2. I'm going to wait until after rush hour or leave campus through a different exit. I'm sure the school has given their police detachment full jurisdiction or whatever. These people get to carry guns around citizens, students for that matter. How inadequate does a person have to be to still feel the need to push their weight around.
