Its very common, perhaps you should look in others’ cars. Ever been in an Uber or a Lift? Ever seen the crazy amount of dash mounts you can buy online or in person at places like all-night convenience stores? Ever notice that companies like QuadLock and RAM became successful because of this use?

Oh wait, you’re gonna

As vibration is concerned, sure.

As a use case, it’s common to use a phone in a car, but apparently very weird to use it on a motorcycle.

Do you mount the phone to the dash in a car? Sure, most people do.

Why would mounting the phone to the bars be a niche case? Is GPS not a needed tool on a motorcycle, too? If the idea is that phones are killing the standalone market, I guess we should all wander around lost on the motorcycle.

Redesigning the phone to

Was in a similar situation but wasnt hit, swerved around the driver to the right, drove on somebody’s lawn.

Turns out the guy was swinging a u-turn because he saw a yard sale. My life is less important than a yard sale to most drivers, I’m embarrassed that it took me 35 years of riding to understand this.

My oldest friend is a medical doctor. When asked about panic attacks and anxiety attacks as I was going through them during an issue with PTSD, he stated “anxiety attacks feel like dying, and dying feels like an anxiety attack”.

A few years later, I was pushing my cardiovascular limits and had an issue with atrial

So torn.

I love my Apple Watch as I need the metrics that the ECG/EKG gives me, and appreciate the free software upgrade that raised the HR limit for atrial fibrillation detection (pre-cryoablation, mine came on at 190 to 220 bpm).

My MBPr is well past its prime... New MacBooks havent been on my radar because of the following:
No Magsafe
No HDMI
No SD slot
Butterfly keys
Touchbar

Really want the M1 processor, maybe a new MB is in my future...

Its worth mentioning that the Quest and Quest 2, when used in conjunction with a PC and a bunch of apps, can be used for Half Life: Alyx.

...and yes, playing HL:A is worth having a temporary FB account.

I know many riders who switch their bicycle brakes to right hand front brake to be the same as motos. They do this to avoid confusion when switching from one to the other. I know no good riders that do this, and this seems to be a mark of lack of skill (primarily on riders coming from motorcycle to bicycle)

My aim-free days are either off-road trips in my Jeep or back-roads trips (with off-road) on my motorcycles. Because of COVID issues and hospitals and first care response being overburdened, I felt these trips, ones that put my health at risk, weren’t exactly responsible behavior, so i avoided them all last year.

I own a CueCat. I picked one up at my local Radioshack circa 2005 and used it to create an MP3 player that didnt rely on display....

There were two modes: append or replace. That was the only diplay on the oak case I created for it. You scanned a UPC on the shelf of CDs i had and it played it; front to back. In append

When it became clear that the covid-19 pandemic was a global problem that was unavoidable”

The whole thing is from a white perspective; c’mon - I love Trent and Atticus’ s scores/sountracks, but didn’t they take the place of someone that could have handled this better - as in someone of African decent...


I love it how it was released in December after two delayed launches that were scheduled when the Xbox One and the PS4 were king, and now that they’ve released in the dawn of the new generation, the bootlickers defend the console unplayability with “that’s what you get for playing it on a non-current platform”.

I’ve loved some buggy games. The initial unpatched Dead Island comes to mind: That said, the game required a few restarts from me because I found myself stuck without weapons because of bugs. Could i play it? Yes. Could I finish it? Not until it was patched. Unplayable.

Cyberpunk is worse.

He did nothing of merit in the OT, except following the Falcon to Bespin and reporting his position. In RotJ, he was a bumbling klutz, bested by a blind man.

The best take on this for a movie/series is to have him be the most accidentally successful bounty hunter in the galaxy. Mr. Magoo in space.

With all the time since the last Marvel movie, Im gonna need Luis to do a chronological re-cap starting with Captain America.

Agree 100% with the comment on the controllers. I wouldnt even have a PS4 if it werent for the Scuf Vantage. Wonder how much I’m going to like the PS5 controller...

When they have one with manual transmission and full lockers, I might take the headline seriously.
