I was thinking the same thing.

If we were to actually get involved, kick it off with an A-10 singing the song of it’s people, and eliminate all russian forces in Ukraine in no greater than 24 hours.

If you’re not willing to do that then just stay home, we’ve seen how the ‘slow war’ style goes.

Hot take: when Russia totally disintegrates, the US should take it over and turn the whole thing into a national park.

And then as a bonus action stick a bunch of military bases right up Chinas ass.

Them discarding the flower doesn’t mean they arent using the hemp part.

I would imagine they seperate those almost immediately if not the moment it’s out of the ground. If they’re using a combine to harvest it, then that probably seperates it.

10 minute drive (where I live) is typically 6-10 miles. Average walking speed is 3mph so you’re talking over 2hrs. I had to do it once on a tractor and it sucked, and that was doing 10-14mph.

Also for people thinking that this will block the functions that your existing one has integrated with the vehicle, you can get something like iDatalink Maestro to translate things. As long as it’s compatible with your car and the head unit is compatible with the Maestro then you can access existing functions.

Watch christians and catholics ignore everything this bullshit artist says.

Just going to point out Catholics are the only ones who give a damn about the pope. Protestansts view it as idol worshiping, kinda the whole point of Protestantism.

S’all good.

Yeah the MSF Basic Rider Course doesn’t go on the road. It’s an evening of classroom and two mornings of parking lot drills on 125-250cc bikes

Of course there’s 50 different states so 50 different ways of doing it but for Texas, if you already have a car license then you do the weekend MSF and then go to the DPS office, fill out some forms, and then they re-print your license with the “M” class added.

There are also MSF BRC2, Adventure Bike, and Advanced Ricer Course but you have to seek out those. I’d like to do them but the nearest place that does those is 80-100 miles away (“the other side of town”) so I’d have to stay two nights in a hotel since I ain’t driving after a full day of those involved courses.

Except that OP is in the UK.

I was responding to the “American Men’s” thing.

Hell, I remember one American on Reddit who swore up and down that you shouldn’t use the front brake to emergency stop

That is an unfortunately common erroneous belief. The only upshot is mostly it’s non-riders that push it. It is addressed in the MSF course that 60-80% of braking should come from the front. The only real hold outs on that front though are old cruiser riders that never took an MSF because they were grandfathered in, and they think if you touch the front brake you will immediately stoppie or lose traction. Given the weight distribution of their bikes the rear does more than with others but they should still be using the front.

Edit: as for your BMW, why not just add a tooth to front sprocket?

When I take it off-road there have been cases where I wanted 1st to be a bit lower so I wouldn’t want that any higher. I swear a while back I had found some two speed sprockets rear drives but I haven’t seen any for this bike. That would be an option.

Part of the reason bigger engines are desirable in the US is because to get anywhere other than local riding you’re going to be on quite a bit of long straight highway at high speeds. I can drive for 15 hours straight at highway speeds and still not leave my state.

A 250 will be absolutely tapped out to the point of being unsafe because you have no reserve power. And that seems unnecessarily hard on the vehicle.

A 500 will typically be usable but uncomfortable because it’ll still be high in the rev range and vibrating.

On the longer stretches doing maybe around 75mph I even find myself wishing my 800GS could chill at some lower RPMs (currently around 5k maybe a bit more at those speeds), whereas my brothers 1400 with 2/3 the horsepower of mine just chugs along at those speeds (no tach but I think about 3200rpm is what I calculated and that sounds about right). When I pass him he says mine sounds like a mosquito.

Sounds like Methyl-ethyl-death right there.

Like the other person said, a scam, but to give the claim…

Black water or alkaline black water is power-packed with minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.

Sounds like my well water if you boil off some of the water.

Its distinct colour is attained by the elevated alkaline water pH that ranges between eight to nine.

PH doesn’t change the color. A thing that changes PH may also change the color but the PH itself is not responsible.

I, and most people I know, were taugh to shoot around 5 as well as being taught firearms safety around then. Also they’re typically going to eat the squirrels so it’s not just for the heck of it, but sometimes they do just need culling anyway if they’re tearing stuff up.

🤷‍♀️ I don’t get how it’s that crazy. I’m not into tree rat but some people like it.

Never in my life have I see something so believable…

You don’t just let them keep it all the time. You keep it locked up except for when they ask to see it. If you live in the absolute middle of nowhere on a large property then occasionally they may be able to go hunt squirrels/rabbits etc by themselves or target shoot at a home range but that depends on the kid.

I grew up with plenty of people who had “their own” guns at young ages but they didn’t just keep it all the time. Also legally it’s their parents just with the understanding that once they’re old enough it’s actually theirs.

Same

You are if dad says you are. Totally legal if your parents are with in my state.

Here is the comment they were referring to.

Of course this goes on constantly. Israel has the power, not the people getting massacred in Gaza. They can do whatever they want with impunity. Just let no one ever tell me that anti-semitism is wrong again, or they’ll have their jewish teeth punched out. Men are all intrinsically evil, this just goes to prove it even more than ever before.

Ah. So yeah like the other person said those static blades are stators. I havent found a good name for the cone aside from “aft cone” but that’s more for turbines. The stators should help it make pressure (that’s what they do in turbines) but the only reason I see for the aft cone is reduction of turbulence and since this is for cooling the hot end turbulence is actually a positive thing because it reduces the skin of hot air that sits against the heatsink fins.

If you’re pusing enough air you may benefit from a nose cone but it should probably be more hemispherical. Also an intake cone that’s like a trumpet bell might be beneficial.

For noise, most is probably in the blades but you may see some reduction by adding a sweep to your stators and/or adding a jaged pattern in some places like all the new jet engines do. Like this: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/qtd2_sunrise_3024x2016_0.jpg

Granted, on the scale we’re talking here all of this will be splitting hairs.

What exactly are you trying to do, if you don’t mind my asking?

Just trying to quiet those loud fans?

The cone shaped hub in the middle? Same reason you’d see a pointed nose or tail on a plane, to reduce drag and turbulence and possibly noise. With some fans it doesn’t really matter but at high enough flows it’ll become worth it to spend the extra money on that part to make it cone shaped.

Look at airplane propellers. On them that part is called a spinner. On an old, slow, biplane with tons of cables and other draggy parts, it likely wont have one because it’ll make no difference anyway. But on anything that’s the slightest bit sleek you’ll have one because it will significantly reduce drag.
