I think their nickname used to be “the fist of the USSR”, because that’s where most of their military-industrial complex was actually located.

I was an electrician to pay for school in Manhattan, it was fucking awesome meeting all these dudes and ladies from all walks of life, truly a melting pot. I worked under a quality-centric Rasta, who answered to a way-overworked foreman from long island, we would all be fighting some days, laughing together some days and always getting shit done.

I don’t miss how much my fucking feet or shoulders hurt after being on ladders all day, 50 stories up where the wind fuckin’ gallops (till windows thankfully get installed), but I got so many stories and good/bad times out of the job.

I miss NYC, tell you the truth.

I wouldn’t have said it was a replacement just yet to non -open source centric folks, personally.

More attention isn’t a bad thing though, sometimes devs need more input to decide what to focus on next.

Your point?

It’ll at least give you good directions, car/bicycle/walking-optimized based on what you select.

It’ll get there, just needs time.

I’ve used organic for several hikes. What was missing?

No, unfortunately. But maybe soon. I lean on here maps if I need that.

Despicable.

Women, and thus freedom, will outlast these dark age regressive idiots.

CalyxOS lets me run most safety net stuff, though notably Pokemon go stopped working all of a sudden.

I have an 80s 450cc, daily commute on the highways. She can do more than 80mph, but kinda struggles to get there past 75mph.

I mention this because I observed my former buddy with an mt-03 having similar limits when we rode from San Francisco back to LA on the I-5, and of note is that I run 87, he had to run with 93 to get that performance.

I’d hesitate to get something that small. There’s a 400 ninja and some other options out there, but I’m considering a Diavel, an xsr900 or a 900rs cafe.

Unknown, I don’t want to run Google apps more than I have to. I only run photos and keyboard, both with network access completely blocked by the built-in firewall.

CalyxOS just works, is completely deGoogled and has better battery life because less shit is running by itself in the background. If you need any Google apps, you can install them voluntarily via the Aurora store (a version of the play store that strips serial numbers etc from communications with Google’s play store servers).

All my banking apps and work apps function, though I couldn’t get Pokemon go to work.

Ugh. Just ugh.

What the hell? That’s so wack and useless. Stating the obvious, I know. Just saying I feel for your and others who may have had to deal with that kind of behavior.

Nah there’s a lot going for EVs in the material recycling realm, see redwood materials inc as an example of a company looking to skip the mining.

We don’t really need stuff to carry over, besides that the source of most hydrogen is fossil fuel based. See the IEA report for a fair and reasonable assessment.

Electricity infra is already installed almost everywhere in the world. When I lived in California, I saw exactly 2 stations which offered pressurized hydrogen.

Very nice, and my favorite bit is that the principles you learn on a simple moto engine easily scale to a full-size car or even truck engine. Spark, fuel, air, all at the right times and ratios. Everything else follows.

Still, considering a switch to electric, just because I mostly commute and don’t want to contribute to environmental destruction. Just wish batteries had a bit more range 🤔

Thanks for the comment, kinda looking for a more powerful ujm. Street triple looks cool too.

Demo days, good thinking. Thanks for the opinion, I’ll keep em in mind while I try to test.

Jeez. That guy “spite” & the lady are who actually did the z900rs vs xsr900 review, yammie just cameos uselessly a few times.

I never really liked their channel anyway, so thanks for the heads up.

What have you observed that makes you feel the refinement?

I’m leaning towards the bigger tank of the z900, but I’d be carrying a spare gallon on my camping trips regardless.
