2024.05.16 14:29 Wonderful_Rice5013 101% totally completely inexperienced rider here…
Hello all, this is my first post on this sub (this is also a new Reddit account, though I’ve technically been active for 7+ years) and I’m hoping that some of ya’ll could offer some help / advice.
I want to start by saying that I am 31 year old male, 5’8” and 165lbs. I have absolutely zero motorcycle experience, I do (personally) consider myself an above-average driver, but not anywhere near professional or semi-professional level. I’ve never rode a dirt bike, or any 2-wheeled motorized vehicle that features a clutch and sequential gearbox. The extent of my motor-vehicle experience is cars, pickups and quads/atvs.
My father is 65yo, and he’s been riding on 2 wheels since he was 12, throughout my childhood he always seemed to own at least 2 motorcycles at any given time. He now rides an R1200RT. I have ALWAYS wanted to start riding and I have always had interest in buying one, but previous stupid financial choices in my life kind of prevented me from wanting to get one. Recently, I’ve felt more prepared to pull the trigger on a bike.
Right now, with my current given knowledge and understanding, I was thinking of a bike somewhere between 300-400cc
How I figure it, is I’m looking for something lighter and nimble with lower seat height, but also with just enough power to ride at 60-70mph without the bike struggling. So I guess, I’m looking for the minimum size/weight bike that can still handle 45 mins at freeway/highway speeds?
Currently, the Duke 390 and the MT-03 seem to both appeal to me.
With my lack of experience and knowledge on motorcycles, is this a good place to start or should I totally be looking at something else?
Any advice and recommendations would be tremendously helpful. Thanks.

2024.05.16 14:29 Nostalgia_town Tale of a train journey
 | It was a winter morning, and I was standing on the railway station of Adityapur, one of Asia’s largest industrial hubs in the outskirts of Jamshedpur, formally known as TATANAGAR, the city known for TATAs & their steel. I updated my current whereabouts to my mother just before boarding the Tata-Gua passenger train, sounding her on my expected time to reach home. I was visiting home after 2 months, the longest interval in the 3.5 years at NIT Jamshedpur due to my business around hosting the first alumni meet of NIT Jamshedpur and a 15-day train travel across India through Jagriti Yatra. I was just carrying my laptop bag as it was a usual 2/3-day trip and I just had my Compaq laptop, a change of clothes & charger to be precise beside my small blue denim wallet & a Samsung smart phone. In 2012, smart phones were just stepping in and my brother-in law was generous enough to lend it to me to take pictures of the places I visit & the events I attend during Jagriti Yatra. Jagriti Yatra is a train ride across India with 600 yatris from different countries, different walks of life who embark on this journey to learn about various social & business enterprise. In that day’s train journey, I was travelling with a batchmate who would get down 2 stations before mine. We’d travel together many times during the four years, and we’d always take the morning train instead of the evening one. It was a passenger train which was always very crowded, and it passed through many small stations in that belt which were dimly lit, these stations were primarily existing to connect industries to the mining towns of Noamundi, Barbil, Jhinkpani and had goods trains plying with iron ore, limestone, cement, so evening trains seemed unsafe for girls travelling alone. Jhinkpani was a small town in that belt with a cement factory, ACC Cements, and a residential township for it. My dad had booked the station trip which was a Maruti Van to ply the resident of the colony from station to the colony which was around 3 kms away & there was no public transport available in this route. I was waiting to board the train all excited to show my parents the pictures of the Yatra clicked on the borrowed smart phone, I’d also met my sister and niece at Visakhapatnam while we visited Akshaya Patra mega kitchen and I remember getting clicked a cute photo of me holding my niece at the station but my excitement was short lived as soon as I kept the phone in the small zipper pocket of my laptop bag. I was modestly dressed in a kurta and leggings, without pockets of-course, pockets are a recent phenomenon in women’s Indian clothing. So, my phone and wallet were always kept in the bag. submitted by Nostalgia_town to Jamshedpur [link] [comments] As I boarded the train along with around 20 other people from that gate, I felt a sudden force pulling me back, but I managed to steer my way inside but with an eerie feeling, I quickly reached out to check the tiny pocket immediately only to find that both the wallet & the borrowed phone were gone. A shiver ran up my spine and I started to feel numb. There was Rs 200 in cash in that wallet which was a month of pocket money, my SBI ATM card and college i-card. Now, having zero cash, no phone I went about near the gate to see if I can find it, I spoke to couple of people but barely anyone knew Hindi, and it struck me real hard that reaching home was my single motto now. Although scared that I would be scolded by parents for being reckless, I had a sinking feeling as to how would I break this news to my sister & my brother-in-law whose smart phone I’d lost, what would I do about all the lost contacts that I’d woven so meticulously while organizing the alumni meet, what of the memories that I’d captured during the Yatra. My brain started to fizzle with all these entrapping thoughts when my friend shook me to bring me back to the dreaded train which was my reality then and I started planning my next course of action. I first called my mother from my friend’s phone to tell her about the loss, she comforted me and then she informed my dad to arrange a vehicle from the station, the trip was booked but it’d sometimes leave passengers if there are more people than capacity or not turn up due to technical glitch in the age old van that was used. My friend got down at Chaibasa and my heart started racing more as people around me in the train knew my situation and vulnerability and I tried to pose a strong and confident front. The train took more than 20 minutes to travel 17 kms but for me it seemed like ages, the sight of Jhinkpani station never made me so relieved. I quickly deboarded the train, holding on to my bag tightly this time and found a friend waiting there in his Maruti 800. He happened to have met my dad while coming to the station for a personal work and my dad asked him to pick me as well. I finally reached home travelling without a phone and a penny in pocket, my mom was so glad to see me safe and sound. I was taken aback a little to see her overtly calm demeanor at the face of such an adversary and having no concern whatsoever for my lost phone or the wallet. She prayed and thanked God for my safe return and narrated about her dream which she saw about me the previous night. She was very disturbed by it, and she’d been praying from dawn that day for my well-being as the dream was a very bad omen for me. She felt relieved that it was only few items that were lost, and I was completely unharmed. Mother’s love manifests in mysterious ways I thought while gobbling on my favorite sambar, rice that afternoon. Meanwhile, my dad deactivated my ATM card and arranged an old makeshift phone for me to be used in the remaining two months of college. When I sit back to think, I always think about my mother’s reaction and feel relieved that it happened, may be a way to appease myself of the guilt of not thinking through that somebody must have noticed me putting the phone in the small pocket and chanced upon it in the crowd while boarding. To compensate for the loss of phone, I gifted my sister with a digital camera after I started earning 4 months down from this incident. From then on, I never kept anything valuable in such obvious places in public while I maneuvered my ways in Delhi’s metro or the local trains of Mumbai, in the buses of Visakhapatnam or in the streets of Paris. I hold my wallet tight and my phone close. |
2024.05.16 14:28 Emotional_Being809 Air craft carriers
So I am in an associate in the New Jersey Metro area. I asked my supervisor to look into getting our department two new air craft carriers. Since ours are basically an accident waiting to happen.
So my supervisor went to management and asked for new ones. Management said oh they don’t give new ones to stores because they are too expensive but they will sent the techs out to look at the wheels and replace them.
Well they replaced the wheels but the whole assembly is bent and it still doesn’t roll it has sharp metal from being bent all around the cart.
In lumber you use the aircraft carrier too safely unload and unstrap loose product. So since ours is broke we have to use a table top and it is very sketchy. I was going to call the aware line but our district manager already knows that we need new carts and he honestly doesn’t care.
According to my supervisor he was told that management said we don’t have the budget this year. I told him that when someone gets seriously hurt then maybe they will think otherwise.
My buddy who is a labor union worker told me to go to an osha office with pictures and video of the cart.
I don’t want to make waves and I don’t want too get hurt.
I’ve only been with Home Depot a year and is this how Home Depot operates across the country? Let’s preach safety but when a safety issue costs too much we just write it off.
Our store is not a 110 million a year store. So the stores that don’t make allot can’t spend allot.

There’s nothing i hate more than when windows updates my computer overnight automatically.
Im telling u a different level of hatred. HOW is it okay to shut down without user permission. If i walk away from my computer i expect it to be just as i left it when i come back. NO EXCEPTIONS
I have spent hours disabling every update service that exists on windows. They do not make it easy. There’s the normal ones in the settings, but it truly doesn’t do shit. Next u can go into group policy and kill updates there, that stops about 95% of them.
BUT this morning i get on and this fucking thing is rebooted like nothin happened. WHATR THE FUCK. It’s been months since the last time something got through.
I combed through the event logs and found that the group policies didn’t disable all of the task schedulers. It’s actually impossible to disable even as an admin, it needs to be done by “system”
So I found a utility from ms to “remote connect” to my own pc with system access. Was able to disable all update orchestrators.
Idk this the kinda shit that really grills my beans it’s gonna be a good day

2024.05.16 14:26 Acceptable_Farm6960 Top US ethics watchdog investigating Trump over dinner with oil bosses
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington ‘taking very serious look’ at whether Mar-a-Lago meeting justifies legal action
A powerful watchdog group that has been at the forefront of efforts to hold Donald Trump accountable for constitutional violations is investigating whether his Mar-a-Lago meeting with oil company executives last month merits legal action.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (Crew) has told the Guardian that it is investigating the dinner at Trump’s club with more than 20 oil and gas company executives. Trump asked them for a $1bn presidential campaign contribution, while at the same time vowing to undo Joe Biden’s restrictions on natural gas export permits, oil drilling and car pollution, the Washington Post reported.
Canter added that details of the discussion between the former president and the oil companies were troubling. “This was a very focused small group directed at a particular industry, there was an amount put out there of $1bn, which he described as a deal, which all raises questions about the transactional nature of the meeting.”

2024.05.16 14:25 Army-Dozen PERMISSION TO EXPRESS MYSELF MA'AM
To CPT JANE (PA)
I never imagined I’d be writing this, but life often surprises us in the most painful ways. Serving under your command has been the greatest honor of my life, not only because of the professional growth I've experienced but also because of the deep personal bond we've formed. And now, with a heavy heart, I must say goodbye.
From the very first day, I was in awe of your strength, dedication, and the way you led with both firmness and compassion. You inspired me daily, pushing me to be better and to live up to the high standards you set for yourself and for those around you.
Our journey together has been filled with moments I'll cherish forever. The long hours on duty, where a single glance from you could reassure and motivate me. The late-night conversations about strategy and life, where I came to appreciate your wisdom and kindness. And those stolen moments away from the world, where our connection deepened into something beautiful and profound.
There’s one moment that stands out, one that changed everything. It was late, after a particularly grueling day. We were alone in your office, decompressing from the day’s events. In a moment of weakness, I leaned in, and our lips met. The kiss was brief, but it sent a whirlwind of emotions through me. I realized then that I had let my feelings overtake my judgment, making assumption to the wrong signals.
But that wasn’t the only complicating factor in our story. As we grew closer, I couldn’t help but notice the attentions of LCDR ALPHA PN, a senior officer who had clearly taken an interest in you. He was charming, powerful, and made no secret of his intentions. Watching him court you with such confidence only intensified my feelings of inadequacy and the impossibility of our situation.
Your strength has always been my anchor, but your vulnerability has been my inspiration. In you, I found a partner who understood the sacrifices and demands of our profession, yet also knew how to find joy and tenderness amidst the rigor of our lives. Our situationship is a delicate balance between duty and passion, between leadership and companionship.
But now, fate has intervened. My transfer orders have come through, and I have no choice but to move to a new post, far from you. The reality of this is breaking my heart. As much as I want to stay and fight for our love, duty calls, and we must honor our commitments.
Saying goodbye to you is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. You are more than my superior; you are my confidant, my muse, and the love of my life. I'll always cherish the memories of our time together and carry your lessons and your memories with me, wherever my journey takes me.
Thank you for being my mentor, my leader, and my love. Though we may part ways professionally, the memory of our time together will forever be etched in my heart.
With all my love and sorrow,

2024.05.16 14:25 Righteous_Allogenes Sweet Chariot
Here I need to pause and vent a moment, a little nagging thing, ever to persist if I do not get this complaint out, noted down and filed, if only for my own sake. But know this: I am, and not I, am the one who writes these scripts.
Look, I am aware, that from every perspective beyond my own, it should only become all the more obvious with inspection that I have a full blown God complex. I had even been told such, perhaps some months now ago. But from within my mind alone the idea cannot even be taken seriously, like when someone suggests that I think me their better... an absurdity, for we have been the same persons. But we surely do have a God complicated. The trouble is not that I think me better but that you see something or another unfamiliar and you judge yourself therefore lesser! Oh, go on and lay it upon me if you must, for I shall and I will bear a light and heavy burden.
Indeed I am aware, even that I am deluded, all muddied and obscured, I can see it clear. In fact many may well be quite surprised —or even disbelieve it outright —to know just what extent to which I am self-aware: vivid detail, hyper critical, macro, micro, flash fire in the mirror pan, turning fast, no blur, no lens flare. Shutter shudderingly quick: instantaneous. Within the instance, I am it.
And, if we should here grant a passing....
Selah
Vis a vis, c'est la vie, mon ami. (hold) pause+start, input code Konami
Let go that thought. Or do you not know?
You ought to be careful what it is you wish for.
Yes, as I speak, verily as I live and breathe,
God is, indeed, and I, I am He.
And just what by that do I mean? Because surely, I am not saying what you think I am saying... hmm?
God: inasmuch as what you likely mean by that word, capital and proper, if you are within the ballpark parking lot of Christianity, Islam, Manichaeism... or really just about any major world religion, actually. However, in all such cases, your presumptions put whoever you think I really am, in error.
There is a person, this person is not me. Here are words, formed of letters, which are unto death, as you (esp, who contend me) have surely read, yes? And these words they are written (for all intents and purposes) with instruments, manipulated by fingers, hands —like leaves to twigs, twigs to branches —limbs, of a body of a creature, to wit: a/an (hu)man.
Now of this body there is a head, and in this head, squishy bits: the greater part of which, all coalesced, likely perhaps, you may call it a brain. But in this brain there is a mind, and though often interchanged, these are in fact not to say, strictly the same. For the mind it is a battlefield... wait. Or was that love? Who can say? And are you not entertained? Ha!
Either way, this mind then it is as a hub, centrifugal it spins, as on an axle, an axis, or rather, axes (axis' plural, that is —not to be confused with that with which something such or another might be hewn... oh.. ah.. well, hm.. nevermind that then), many axes, yes, as like wheels within wheels, a gimbal: what I speak of, such it is. And a wheel indeed, for this hub has fit to it spokes, of which, one is that brain, and its body.
That is the person, of whom I am speaking, connected to that brain, and through its hands and fingers I am speaking, so to speak. I am that person, and that person is not me. For that person alone can not contain the breadth of being, it is omnivalent. And what of these many others? And what even of you? Indeed it is True: as many as are formed unto the image of the son of man, these are I and I am them.
And, as I said of that hub, how it spins, —unlike the lilies of the field, and such like them, and, is more often wont to be without from the wind —upon axles many, verily. And what is likely to be found at any wheel axle's other end? Amen another hub fit with many spokes to a rim. And between wheels there is... what is this? A differential, an apparatus of gears, bearing separate systems, even controverse, along together. For wherever two are gathered in my name, there I am among them. That two —and a great many more, I asure you —may travel together, even disagreeing so often as they do.
And I am here I am swung low, coming for to carry you home.

Oh, go on and lay it upon me if you must, for I shall and I will bear a light and heavy burden.
Indeed I am aware, even that I am deluded, all muddied and obscured, I can see it clear. In fact many may well be quite surprised —or even disbelieve it outright —to know just what extent to which I am self-aware: vivid detail, hyper critical, macro, micro, flash fire in the mirror pan, turning fast, no blur, no lens flare. Shutter shudderingly quick: instantaneous. Within the instance, I am it.
And, if we should here grant a passing....
Selah
Vis a vis, c'est la vie, mon ami. (hold) pause+start, input code Konami
Let go that thought. Or do you not know?
You ought to be careful what it is you wish for.
Yes, as I speak, verily as I live and breathe,
God is, indeed, and I, I am He.
And just what by that do I mean? Because surely, I am not saying what you think I am saying... hmm?
God: inasmuch as what you likely mean by that word, capital and proper, if you are within the ballpark parking lot of Christianity, Islam, Manichaeism... or really just about any major world religion, actually. However, in all such cases, your presumptions put whoever you think I really am, in error.
There is a person, this person is not me. Here are words, formed of letters, which are unto death, as you (esp, who contend me) have surely read, yes? And these words they are written (for all intents and purposes) with instruments, manipulated by fingers, hands —like leaves to twigs, twigs to branches —limbs, of a body of a creature, to wit: a/an (hu)man.
Now of this body there is a head, and in this head, squishy bits: the greater part of which, all coalesced, likely perhaps, you may call it a brain. But in this brain there is a mind, and though often interchanged, these are in fact not to say, strictly the same. For the mind it is a battlefield... wait. Or was that love? Who can say? And are you not entertained? Ha!
Either way, this mind then it is as a hub, centrifugal it spins, as on an axle, an axis, or rather, axes (axis' plural, that is —not to be confused with that with which something such or another might be hewn... oh.. ah.. well, hm.. nevermind that then), many axes, yes, as like wheels within wheels, a gimbal: what I speak of, such it is. And a wheel indeed, for this hub has fit to it spokes, of which, one is that brain, and its body.
That is the person, of whom I am speaking, connected to that brain, and through its hands and fingers I am speaking, so to speak. I am that person, and that person is not me. For that person alone can not contain the breadth of being, it is omnivalent. And what of these many others? And what even of you? Indeed it is True: as many as are formed unto the image of the son of man, these are I and I am them.
And, as I said of that hub, how it spins, —unlike the lilies of the field, and such like them, and, is more often wont to be without from the wind —upon axles many, verily. And what is likely to be found at any wheel axle's other end? Amen another hub fit with many spokes to a rim. And between wheels there is... what is this? A differential, an apparatus of gears, bearing separate systems, even controverse, along together. For wherever two are gathered in my name, there I am among them. That two —and a great many more, I asure you —may travel together, even disagreeing so often as they do.
And I am here I am swung low, coming for to carry you home.
2024.05.16 14:25 2Kalimaxis2 24 [M4F] #Arizona #Online Just looking to talk to people and find genuine connections
Howdy🤠
Reddit can be a place full of interesting personalities. Me? I’m just looking to talk to people and find genuine connections in whatever way they may be. Whether that’s shared experiences, interests, friendship, romance. I have had an online relationship before so I know what works and doesn’t.
About me, I’m 24 Latino (Mexican-American) and 5’8”. For my career I’m an electrical engineer who recently just started his first electrical job. I hope to work and save up some money for a house and to eventually get my masters. I also lean center left politically.
As for hobbies and interest, I love a lot of nerdier stuff such as Star War, Marvel, & other franchises. I’m also an active gamer on PS5. I love to make electronics projects and am currently working on an R2D2 in the concept stage. 3D printing is something I’m also really interested in.
When it comes to other things, I like cooking and baking. A lot of dishes I make are Mexican or Italian since they’re my favorite foods. I also really like barbecue and smoking meats. I should also mention Italian food because how can you leave it out?
My goals in life are to start my own garden and grow my own crops like tomatoes and such. I would also like to be able to buy a home with an acre of land for the garden and anything else I’d like to do. I would also like to have flowers in my garden that I can give to my future wife.
My dad joke of the day is “Why don’t we eat clocks during snack time? Because it’s time consuming”
For those of you wondering for the spicy interests, I enjoy being committed and devoted to one person which is why I lean into femdom. Am I the only one who gets jealous by dogs being called a good boy? I also do enjoy my partner being non-monogamous (while I’m still loyal) which is Hotwife. None of those are a requirement for you. Im just being open about what I like.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. I hope you have a good day and even if it’s a bad day just remember you don’t have to live through it again.

2024.05.16 14:24 Neuroentrepreneur I'm done building VC-backed businesses. The trade-offs just aren't worth it anymore. So I'm now trying my hand at solopreneurship and boy is it different. In need of some feedback!
I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 20 years (4 startups/2 exits/$15M VC raised). Building scalable companies has always been my life’s mission. And I’ve sacrificed a ton of time, energy, and well-being to follow this dream. But recently, everything changed.
Our baby daughter was born three months ago. And it took all of a few days to realize that nothing else mattered that much anymore. The thought of grinding for long hours, days away for business travel, and not being mentally present even while at home was no longer fathomable to me.
So I made the decision to stop. No more big, scalable visions. No more raising venture capital. No more working my butt off today for a payout that may or may not come tomorrow.
And although that life is all that I’ve ever really known, every ounce of my being (especially in the moments I hold my daughter) tells me that I am doing the right thing.
Now, although I’ve had a few successes in my entrepreneurial career, I’m not in a position where I never have to work again. So I had to ask myself the hard question of what I should do to keep income flowing in while not missing those special moments of seeing my daughter grow up.
So I decided to focus on helping other entrepreneurs build their great businesses. Last month, I launched by entrepreneurship coaching and training practice (based on my experience as a founder and my PhD research in neuroentrepreneurship and flow states). I started by posting regular content on LinkedIn, then started my newsletter (Startup Neuroscience Weekly), designed my first training program course (Neuroentrepreneurship & Flow Essentials), and launched my website (gerritmcgowan.com).
So far, the feedback has been pretty good. But I know there is a good bit of bias since most of it comes from friends and family. I really need to do some discovery and get some legit, harsh feedback from people who don’t know me. So I’m hoping my fellow Redditors can take a look and share some hard truths with me.
Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

2024.05.16 14:24 PharaohLeo [The Swedish Rumble] A summary of how Man City made sure their case got stuck in the courts for almost 3 years.
There is one reason and one reason only why this case is not settled yet. When the PL launched the procedure for the 115 charges, City made sure that it got stuck in the courts for almost 3 years challenging every technical aspect it could to delay it.
A summary: November-December 2018: The Premier League write to City requesting certain information and documents in relation to potential breaches of their rules — known as the information claim. City object to the request — after what has been published by Der Spiegel/the Football Leaks.
21 August 2019: The PL issue a complaint against City, since it has still not received the documents and information it has the right to receive under the Premier League Rules and which City refuse to give the PL access to. City responds by challenging the PL's disciplinary system, challenging a technicality (only highly regarded barristers could be elected for the commission).
22 October 2019: With the documents and information not forthcoming, the PL begin arbitration against the club seeking a declaration that they are contractually obliged to provide them. The club try to stop the arbitration by arguing to the tribunal involved that the PL had no power to start it. They also claim that the tribunal does not appear impartial.
26 June 2020: City issue an application in the Commercial Court repeating their argument that the tribunal lacks jurisdiction on the information claim and is tainted with “bias”.
2 November 2020: City’s claim that it has no obligation to to pass on the requested information and documents to the PL — is rejected. It’s clearly stated in the rules that they must do so. The order to provide them is however postponed pending the outcome of the Commercial Court case.
17 March 2021: In the Commercial Court, Mrs Justice Moulder more or less summarily dismisses the club's challenge to the jurisdiction and impartiality of the tribunal, dismantling the City’s lawyers arguments clearly hinting that it was felt that it had abused the public court system. She refuses permission to appeal her judgment.
24 March 2021: Mrs Justice Moulder said her judgment should be published, in order to reveal the lengths to which City had attempted to resist passing on information to the PL. City successfully seeked permission to appeal the decision to make the information public in the Court of Appeal. So we get another delay (I think you are starting to get the drift by now, it’s an appeal of an appeal of an appeal about a pure nonsense technicality.
30 June 2021: The Court of Appeal opens its hearing into the club's appeal against publication. The Court of Appeal handed down its decision dismissing the appeal.
So it took the PL almost three years to just have it sorted out that it has the right to receive the information the Premier League Rules clearly states that City must submit to the PL. After this, we know that City made another challenge of the impartiality of an experienced barrister in no way connected to the Premier League, in KC Murray Rosen. How much delay this caused is unknown.
During this time, City was also sentenced by UEFA for failing to produce requested information and delaying procedures.
I am sure we all come across City PR people, at twitter, during City’s PCs, and so forth, telling us that the reason no decision have been made against City is because it is quote “complicated“. Decide for yourself!
Lastly, in this entire shambolic procedure and abuse of the game of football, one person have done more than all fancy pundits, journalists and experts combined — to protect the integrity of the game — and should be singled out and that is Justice Dame Clare Moulder.
Despite what seems to be attempts for interference on the governmental level, she took the bold decisions set out above without which it’s perfectly possible that we still wouldn’t be aware of the charges and that still would have been caught in some court somewhere.
Someone cynical might speculate on that it was a blessing that she ended up drawing this case just before her retirement in 2022, when she had nothing to lose, but since I am not cynical/conspiratorial — I wouldn’t believe that. But it’s the one big loss City have had in the judicial system up until now despite some pretty horrible looking circumstances speaking against the club… 😅

2024.05.16 14:24 Interesting_Site_515 My car basically rot while I was gone for two years… what to buy next?
I left the country about two years ago and had someone sorta kinda look after my car (09 forester). They ended up randomly bringing the car to the shop multiple times while I was gone and I’d get a text saying how much I owe. $400 for a new battery, $400 for a new shift linkage, etc. Knowing I was sinking money into an old car was frustrating and not what I asked or expected of the car-sitter. Anyways, I’m back now and took it to the shop for a once over. They got about 30 minutes into it and called back saying not to bother. The cars underbelly is all rusted out- brake lines, every bolt and nut is rounded, etc. So I’m in the market for a used car. I like something that’s AWD as I move from VT to out west regularly between seasons. And I need something that can carry all my stuff, which my forester could. I’m not real keen to jump back into another Subaru as I feel their cars are very basic and overhyped. I felt like mine preformed as a metal box would careening down the highway at 75mph. Maybe more like a Toyota or Honda (reliable quality). Been looking at the ‘24 consumer reports magazine as well as carcomplaints.com to try and see the overall qualities of the market. I read somewhere a 4 year old used car is the best value sometimes since they’re right out of a lease… i dont know? Any thoughts or suggestions would be great as this is my first car buying experience alone. Cheers

2024.05.16 14:24 No-Tackle3746 I am [25F] and My fiancé [24M] of two years has cut off his family and won’t get his life on track. What do I do?
Hello, my fiancé is 24m and I am 25f. My fiancé and I have been engaged since March 2024. We have decided he would move in with me Since he lived next door to his parents.(his parents own that property and let him stay there) We made an agreement so we could start are marriage on a good path and not a stress about money.The agreement is he would have one year to pay all his debts and that he cleans the dishes and take out the trash. We agreed that he will pay for our groceries and dates in the meantime. After the year is up he would pay all the bills and then it would be my turn to pay all my debts off. I owe about 10,000 and he says he only owes about 5,000. When I asked him to write all his debts down so we can come up with a plan he only wrote his car note. I asked him did you pay your taxes and he said no. So I asked him so why didn’t he write that down and he said he didn’t think it was a debt. His parents and siblings have been calling him and he hasn’t been answering them. He says he done with them because of how they treat him. But they have been calling me and they told me that is phone bill is over due, he hasn’t paid his insurance for his car or car note for months and they are going to take him off and someone is coming to get the car. I also found out he hasn’t paid his taxes for this year and last year. And his family is pissed because he won’t tell them what’s going on. Weather it’s past issues with them or not I still think he should communicate with them because all his important tax documents and his mail is still going to his parents house. Now When I asked him about his debts to see if he is on track he gets mad or says we will talk about it later. He doesn’t clean the dishes or take out the trash for weeks and He will let it pile up and they would stink up the house. I end up doing it and he would say he was going to get that. When I meet him he didn’t have dental or vision insurance and I’ve had to do that for him. He has taken off of work a couple of times because he says lights sometimes effects his eyes and it hurts to see. I took him to the eye doctor and he said they only said he needs contacts. I don’t think he is telling me the truth. We will make appointments for the dentist and he will cancel them or make an excuse on why he couldn’t go. He is also an amateur boxer but he wont stay on the diet plan the coaches suggested. I make the meal prep and he chooses to still eat out because he says he doesn’t want to eat the same thing everyday. He is starving himself and not drinking enough water to lose 20 pounds before every fight and that is dangerous. I love him and he is a good man but I don’t want to be a parent (because thats what I feel like) to a grown man and cannot marry someone who doesn’t want to get their life together. What do I do?

Tech #TikTok #Privacy submitted by cheinyeanlim to martechnewser [link] [comments] Stay ahead of the curve with the latest trends in tech and marketing – join our subreddit community martechnewser today for instant notifications! Billionaire tech critic Frank McCourt says he is preparing a “people's bid” to buy and rebuild TikTok so users “own and control their identity and their data”
"TikTok presents the best and worst of the internet. It connects 170 million people and allows them to be creative and build things and enjoy things and do things," McCourt said. "On the other hand, they don’t get to really share in the value that’s created, and their data is scraped and stolen and shipped to China." The estimated cost of acquiring TikTok, at around $100 billion, underscores the immense value and scale of the social media platform, showcasing the high stakes involved in the battle for control over our digital lives and data privacy. |
2024.05.16 14:22 SpoonSaucer The danger of proprietary systems
If Sonos tanks and their connectivity/cloud platform disappears (hypothetically), most of my Sonos devices are completely useless. The app update has shown us how much we are at their mercy. It’s a bit scary.
I’m going to get back into a kind of different system where open standards that seem to be more stable are in control. Especially, I want a system that I can use manually if the network goes down, or the company goes bang - so I don’t have to bin the hardware if things go tits up.
Not sure what it will be yet. But not Sonos.

2024.05.16 14:22 TheBestThingsAreFree Missing Vin Mystery
 | This (alleged) 97’ Chevy Cheyenne 2500 4x4 has 112k miles on it and has minimal rust damage underneath. submitted by TheBestThingsAreFree to ChevyTrucks [link] [comments] A friend had a family member pass and I want to make this baby mine. My issue is that I cannot find a full VIN for the life of me. No door stickers, no glove compartment sticker, no stickers at all. The VIN on the dash is partially scratched off. I understand this isn’t a good sign, but damn I still want to do what I can here. Do any of you gentlemen happen to know where to find the VIN on the engine or the chassis or somewhere else? Perhaps I can use an OBD2 scanner to get the vin also? But I hear that won’t work for Chevys before a certain year. (Pre 95) But if I read what I had of the VIN right it should be 92. But, there is a number on the frame above the rear right wheel that makes me think it’s a 98’. Frankenmobile? Stolen? Involved in a crime of another sort? I am driven by curiosity at this point. If I can get this full VIN i can find the status of the title and either make it legal or let my dreams refocus. |
2024.05.16 14:21 Moving_leg Embracing Harmony: Sajjan Jindal's Synchrony of Business and Life
 | Few things capture the sense of renewal at dawn quite like the melody of "Jag Uthi Usha." This timeless epic, echoing the rise of a new day, finds its parallel in the life philosophy of Sajjan Jindal, JSW Group’s visionary Managing Director. As the lyrical verses proclaim "Jag Uthi Usha, ek nai Usha," heralding the advent of a fresh beginning, they mirror Jindal's unwavering commitment to innovation and progress. submitted by Moving_leg to u/Moving_leg [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/6lxghs3y6s0d1.png?width=889&format=png&auto=webp&s=3dc6dc579fdedd1d00ba13da7da601c07bf52e48 Just as the sacred chants of the Maha Mrityunjay Jap invoke protection and rejuvenation, Jindal's endeavours are guided by a profound reverence for tradition and a vision for the future. Like the river Ganga, which finds solace in the embrace of ancient rituals, Jindal draws strength from his heritage, anchoring his journey in timeless values of integrity and resilience. The flow of the Ganga's currents, resonating with the melody of life's rhythms, find their reflection in Jindal's approach to business and life. Like Ganga's meandering course, navigating through diverse landscapes with grace and adaptability, Jindal's ventures embrace change with resilience and foresight. Just as Ganga's waters merge seamlessly with tributaries, forging connections that enrich its path, Jindal's collaborations and alliances fuel innovation and growth, fostering a legacy of empowerment and collaboration. At the heart of both the Ganga's journey and Jindal's philosophy lies a deep reverence for the sacredness of life and the interconnectedness of all beings. Just as the Ganga sustains life along its banks, nurturing ecosystems and communities, Jindal's initiatives with JSW Group fuel industries and livelihoods, fostering growth and prosperity. Both embody a spirit of abundance and compassion, recognizing the inherent value of every individual and the collective responsibility to nurture and uplift one another. In the harmonious convergence of tradition and innovation, reverence and progress, the essence of "Jag Uthi Usha" finds resonance in Jindal's unwavering commitment to integrity and excellence. Like the river Ganga, which surrenders to the flow of nature with grace and purpose, Jindal's journey is guided by an innate trust in the universe's wisdom. Both embrace the ethos of 'letting go' and trusting in the greater cosmic design, finding solace in the belief that every twist and turn serves a higher purpose. The enduring poetry of "Jag Uthi Usha" and Sajjan Jindal's philosophy towards business and life underscore the deep connection between human effort and nature. Inspired by the blend of tradition's melody and innovation's beat, Jindal's steadfast dedication to harmonizing with life's flow offers us a path of renewal and potential. Like the flowing Ganga, may we all find direction in Jindal's pursuit of a brighter and more unified tomorrow. |
2024.05.16 14:21 Hippolytagrecia Are "double" strollers a bad buy for one baby?
We're going to be one and done, and I'm looking at stroller options. The struggle is that a lot of higher end companies market their best strollers as doubles, and I can't find reviews geared towards which is better for one baby. We thought we solved the issue with the Nuna Mixx, but now have decided against it because a lot of toddlers outgrow it. We're looking for something that has really good wheels and can handle a lot of terrain, very good warranty, minimal attachments, fits in a honda fit, ideally sticking w the same brand stroller and car seat. We need something that can handle suburban car life mixed with a lot of walking and foreign travel. I think right now I'm between the Nuna Demi and an uppa baby ... The Nuna Demi is the next step up from the Mixx, and theyve resolved the aforementioned leg room issue, but it's also only ever marketed for it's two kid capabilities. With Uppa baby, they've made the double stroller have the best suspension and I don't know if that a "double stroller" is ridiculous to purchase for one baby. I know there's other brands like cybex and bugaboo, but I really dislike the idea of buying something without ever laying eyes on it, and they're impossible to find in stores.
Help!

2024.05.16 14:21 mojorisn45 Were you nervous at first?
I've had a Model 3 for the past year, but never used FSD. I was even quite nervous about Autopilot until recently.
I finally started using AP, primarily after someone informed me I could get the nag to go away with the scroll wheel instead of having to giggle the steering, and it is fantastic.
I am picking up my new Model 3 today and I've decided to try FSD; however, I'm nervous.
I know that'll be scary to just sit back and trust the car to navigate it's way through traffic, lights, stop signs etc. If it makes a mistake and I don't intervene in time, well, that's a problem.
How nervous were you guys when you first turned it on? I think I might be white knuckling it for quite awhile.

2024.05.16 14:21 Historical_Ladder_77 Good attorney rec?
What’s a good solution to deal with a stalker? I run a public book club, open to anyone. This guy who is older than my Dad and married, sometimes brought his wife, would show up and at the end of events, he’d sit down across from me, interrupt my reading, and ask me questions about my life. I travel often for work and he’d say “when I grow up, I want to be just like you.” Ick.
I accepted his friend request on Facebook in the beginning and he’d post often in our private book community. One post bordered on sexually inappropriate, and no one interacted, some reported it, so I deleted it. Here’s where things get really weird - earlier this year, I brought a copy of a classic book to read to an event. At the next meet, he publicly gives me a copy of the classic book. The people at his table (no wife there) look visibly uncomfortable.
I smile, take it, and go back to my corner at the bar. About 30 minutes later, he comes up and interrupts my reading. He tries touching his leg to mine and I scoot away. The conversation is exactly the same as last time, I’m annoyed and grossed out so I get up and say “nice seeing you” and leave. I feel frustrated that as the host I need to be polite.
Well, that’s when this creep goes into overdrive and starts liking every single post on my Facebook account including friends only. Mind you, the algorithm only shows any single person about 10-12% of all posts on any wall, so he’s definitely checking my profile at least once a day. I posted a public photo of the Aurora and he comments (which I deleted out of respect for his wife) “can I be your roadie?”
I decide to block him. Well, about a week later, he finds my business page, follows it and asks if I’m ok because my social media “seems to have disappeared.” I block him off that page. I block him from the book club page, especially when he likes and comments on a photo of 3 girls young enough to be his granddaughters. He next creates an Instagram account and messages me there. Blocked. Does the same on LinkedIn. Blocked.
My Mom is concerned and ships the book back to his home address. I would think by then this guy would get the message but nope. Last night he shows up and tries to corner me. “I don’t understand what I did wrong.” Thankfully someone has a video of the creepy encounter but I told him to get the f—k out of here before I call the police and informed him what a disgusting pig he is. He responded “this has never happened before” and “I love my wife.”
Some perspective: my Dad is a few years younger than this guy and has been married to my Mom for about the same period of time (50+ years). While I don’t keep close tabs on him, I can guarantee you that my Dad is not out and about striking up inappropriate “friendships” with women my age. I have never seen him interact online or off with any other woman who wasn’t already in my parents friend group.
Furthermore, I work with men all the time in my field. Some are married but none have ever crossed the line with gifts or fawning over me. I have platonic married guy friends too. Loads of examples of what a respectful friendship looks like. This man is 100% a creep and I’m pretty sure he’s doing this to other women.
What’s especially sad is that instead of owning up to it, he has his wife post (or he got into her account) on our book club wall that someone is impersonating him and that he is innocent. People like this who are immature at any age never take accountability for their actions.
Sadly, I now find myself carrying pepper spray and a Birdie alarm. Should I start a report with the police? Also, who is a good attorney who deals with this stuff, in case I need to file a restraining order? I’m also looking for higher ups where he volunteers at Frederik Meijer Gardens as a docent to send video clips and screenshots of his bad behavior. Thank you in advance.

2024.05.16 14:21 Yessie555 Toyota Sienna making some worrying sounds
I took my Toyota Sienna 2000 to a mechanic recently and when I got it back, it's had some issues.
What the mechanic did: replaced the water pump, timing belt, and repaired a bad ball joint on the front right wheel
Symptoms now that I have it back:
The serpentine belt is silent upon startup but about 3 to 5 minutes into driving, I can hear it start making whiff-whiff-whiff noises. I know it's the serpentine belt because I opened the hood while it was still running and the sound was coming directly from it. Sometimes it goes away, other times it does not and I have to listen to it the entire drive.
There was one point where slowing down or pressing the brakes resulted in a few pretty concerning sounding squeals coming from the right side. But these happened if I was driving for about 30 mins. I'm unsure if this was something under the hood or coming from the wheel.
If I idle at an intersection and the light turns green, I press the accelerator (obviously). When this happens, I catch a brief whiff of burning rubber. Also, depending on how far and how fast I've run the car, it has a kind of hard time accelerating. But I'm not sure how much of that is in my head.
I took the car to the mechanic a second time to get these issues looked at and they said they couldn't recreate the problems I mentioned. But they did say I could drop by with it again if it continues making scary sounds.
Any idea what might be the source(s)?
