I had good gear and good boots. The damage was caused by me instinctively putting my leg down while the bike was falling. That’s what snapped my knee. The nerve damage was because the pointy part of the tank (it extends outwards a bit at the top) landed directly on the side of my knee. I’m pretty sure having the riding pants with armor is what kept me from further damage as my kneecap was the first thing to land.

Went for a motorcycle ride when it was 12 degrees fahrenheit. I was warm with some heated gear, but I was on my Street Triple with Pirelli Rosso III tires. I stopped at a store for a while and didn’t think about the tires being cold. Gave it a bit too much throttle when leaving and the rear end slid at about 15 MPH. My leg went down first and it snapped my left MCL. I could barely walk for a month as it healed and had to go through physical therapy. My leg is solid now, but there’s some nerve damage from the bike landing on my leg, which decides to make itself known occasionally.

This entirely depends on the company and/or the type of work you do. My manager is considering implementing it after I proposed it for our team. That was only a few days ago so we’ll see where it goes.

I don’t remember for sure about the old games, but the Legendary Edition has one for each game.

Interesting. The only two references I’ve ever heard to Paramour are the band and the achievement in Mass Effect. I’m now wondering if the devs of that series knew exactly what it meant (infidelity) because you get the achievement for having any relationship. Maybe it’s because you can’t remain loyal to your original partner to get it in all three games with one playthrough.

I’d love to experience the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time again. Especially since I started with 3 so I already knew the ending when I went back to the other games.

I don’t remember the first song I played, but I remember blasting Eminem’s “Without Me” at full volume with my new 12-inch subwoofer from Walmart. An officer pulled up next to me and my teenage self just about shit a brick. He just started nodding to the beat and drove off.

I actually do customer support for a faxing service. You’d be amazed how widely used it is still.

Maybe Eminem’s “Shake That?”

I mostly do my own work, but whenever I do take my car to the local Mazda dealer, they always provide a full inspection report as well as a video of the tech checking everything and explaining anything that they’ve found. Even when my wife takes her car in for only basic maintenance (it’s still under warranty so we take it in for oil changes), they do the same thing and don’t charge anything extra.

Same dealer network owns the local Ford dealer and I ended up taking my old Fiesta ST there for an oil change as I didn’t have the space to do it myself at the time. $45 for an oil change and tire rotation, and I got the same inspection report and video.

A while ago, there was something that showed the higher failure rate of various components on EVs because of the lack of routine service that has cars have. Basically, gas cars get a service and inspection every 5-10k miles when the oil is changed and any worn bearings, bushings, etc. are found. EVs don’t have that so things go unnoticed until they fail. Could this be the same? Could the “reliability” concerns just be normal wear that isn’t getting caught since there are no routing inspections?

Yes! I miss my r/Triumph and r/KLR650. Also missing r/Miata.

Getting this covid shot over with. Currently in the waiting room and I HATE needles.

Not the one you replied to, but I don’t think so only because most people believe that it’s not as simple as your standard social media, and, to some extent, they’re right.

Torque is amazing. Bought the pro version of the app and it has saved me so much money over going to a mechanic when my shitboxes break.

Don’t scare me like that!

My mother did that so I ended up doing the same in elementary school. It took me a while, but I realized how disgusting it was and have been using cloths, or my shirt, for most of my life.

My father-in-law shares a name with a famous actor. We got him to sign my partner’s motorcycle helmet so they can go around and say they got their helmet signed by the actor. We use it to mess with our friends a lot.

Looks like I’m finally switching to Firefox.

Actually no, from what I understand. You can install it, just most businesses don’t allow it because they offer no support for it. There are other companies that partner with LibreOffice to offer enterprise solutions though.
