I’m surprised to learn people actually use Doximity. Their super aggressive spamming to get me to sign up turned me off. It reeked of desperation so I assumed nobody signed up. Apparently not.

Saddles with the cutout may help. They may not. Try other fitment stuff first.

Thirded.

No more or less important than my life’s work.

I don’t. I have a concealed carry permit if it goes to that extreme. And because I don’t have your username  :)

Completely agree. But it’s much less anxiety not having to deal with in yo’ face physical and verbal aggression .

I assume people like my last dentist and your general dentist know slowly is less pain but just don’t care. Several of my prior dentists did it pretty painlessly. My last one didn’t and I switched as I figured there were other dentists who are just as competent and could also inject painlessly.

I enjoy reading about everyone who is at least as bad as I am with needles. I had a similar but much more severe reaction like your description with my first blood donation. They told me ‘Never come back here again”.

“giant needles” haha! They use the smallest possible needles, 28 g I think. I’m a big baby with needles too. I just changed dentists purely because the prior one didn’t care if she was causing pain. New one has slow, careful injection technique that’s painless. I’m still a wreck beforehand even when it doesn’t hurt!

Add the Shrike’s blades to Zeiram.

Being able to remove bolts from difficult to reach locations and having tools like this to enable that is good. My big fear about these situations is being able to restart the bolt or nut afterwards.

I can see all the torques of the impact being lost one by one in each link of the tool’s chain.

Crimping is preferred if you can do a proper crimp with the correct tools.  A good solder joint is preferred over a bad crimp.  It sounds like you’re doing bad crimps.

Hi Larissica!

I second that advice, especially the point about “so you aren’t fighting equipment and can focus on the act itself.”.

“the Monster has been typified by a tubular steel trellis frame and a 90 degree V-twin with desmodromic valves. With the new-for-2021 model, all of that goes away. The new bike has a lightweight aluminum main frame, a glassfiber-reinforced plastic rear subframe, and the 11-degree Testastretta engine”

Just tell the truth and call it the Alpina Minivan.  I know, then no one buys it because of the name.

Raise you another 400hp

You’re right.  My 98 Forester looked better than this.
