They probably have a mailing address in a more central location that they check in with once or twice a week. I don't think you go to the effort of owning a whole rear end island if you actually wanted to see the mailman every day.

Amy Pole Her posted:This raises a good question - dudes who have actual islands to themselves, whether it’s domestic (those ones in New York) or international like the Bahamas.. how do they deliver your mail? There is almost no way they’ll spend the money required to cross a big inlet for one person to get their mail right? I think it's like really rural locations where you just have a PO box you have to travel to.

What irks me is that there's no y, e, or i in the word, imo just do away with the pretenses and spell it baloney if it's pronounced that way

I finally get to go home tomorrow.  They also switched my pain management from dilaudid to oxycodone, which surprised me, as I was under the impression that oxycodone is much more nephrotoxic than dilaudid, and my kidneys are turbofucked. They're also ramping me up on amitriptyline (or however the gently caress it's spelled); supposedly it can help with chronic pain? Hey, whatever, at least I get to go home. Which reminds me, I had put a few pounds of ground beef in the fridge before I went to the ED ... There's some milk in the fridge, too ... God help me.

D-LINK posted:English is cool for its ability to cannibalize and adapt to new vocabulary. It took the idea of specificity Old German, which to this day, manages to have the ability to create hyper specific words, but Old English really diverged from German when the Norman's conquered the country in its infancy in 1066, introduced 300k words, that set a precedent for simply adopting words from other languages. This is a pretty rare feature for a language, and ultimately the basis of its overwhelming global success Yeah, I used to be a big language prescriptivist until I realized that it’s actually rad as hell that English adapts and changes as the people that speak it do.

The biggest downside is that the boxes the stuff comes in has a ton of styrofoam which is good as far as wanting your stuff to not get damaged goes, but since it's a bunch of weights that have been shifting around it's a ton of styrofoam "crumbs" everywhere

I’ve been riding this KTM 125 i picked up for cheap out in the wooded area here in south Florida, and I find myself looking at enduros and what not, but I really think I want something (used) that’s comfortable for quick brunch or shop trips. Never highway, 2-5 miles ride at a time. Knowing that, and knowing I’m similar to you, what’s a good model that’d fit the Bill? Any suggestions? There are so many goddamn bikes to choose from now.

Amy Pole Her posted:Very cool, so we’re (as usual) pretty similar in our taste. Since you tool around in the woods too, you might like a dual sport. It's a whole in-between street and trail that are street legal and like the KTM models are good at both. It's probably what I would ride if I wasn't the kind of guy who will hop on a bike and head to Toronto or Burlington for the weekend. If you wanted maybe a used street bike that won't cost a poo poo ton, there's still a million Honda and Yamaha cruisers from the 80s that still had cool styling before every Japanese bike became a Harley clone or a supersport. I'm thinking of Honda NightHawks or Magna (V65 Magna in particular)and Yamaha Maxims or Fazers. Something like that will be my next vanity bike. I like the bigger bikes bc even tho, let's say a 400cc bike is perfectly fine for tooling around town or commuting to work, being at 3000+ rpm at 70mph on the interstate just beats you the gently caress up on any trip longer than 30min.

Awesome. Appreciate that. When I get to the nitty gritty I’ll probably pm a few to run by you. Bikes a ton of fun. Hitting an open stretch on that 2 stroke really felt awesome, and reminded me directly of the feeling I get on a fast boat or a bigger jetski. Makes me regret ever giving up power sports in the first place!

This is fine too! People who use language as their profession should have standards that make it easier for everyone to better understand them. People should also acknowledge that spoken and written versions of languages are relatives, but not identical twins.

Liter bikes are fine, but those things were actively trying to kill you and wanted you off of it by any means necessary. Nothing like mid corner, knee almost down, rear tire spinning up while it starts to come on the pipe, start to stand it back up and the front wheel just lofts until you shift.

Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone. Here and AI are my favorite two corners of the internet, you’re all super kind folks.D-LINK posted:It's hard to imagine what this bike meant in context of 1977, this bike is sick even for now My dad has one of these in his endless ocean of bikes (or technically a Z1-900 or whatever the hell) and I used to have free reign to ride it to school when I was a Junior/Senior in high school (even rode it to school in nothing but a bedsheet toga during homecoming week lol) and yeah, something that big, klunky, and heavy has absolutely no business being as fast as it is. To answer your thought, he said these things were just absolutely insane to people when they came out in the 70s. He took it apart years ago to do some poo poo to it and it just sits in the corner of the garage now because he has serious motorcycle ADHD and can’t finish a project before finding something else to buy and tool around with. Of course, that just means I get to pop over and abuse any new toys he wants to show off to me. He picked up an old Ducati 990 SuperSport that I got to beat the poo poo out of on all of the back country roads last summer, and that thing sounds absolutely gorgeous. He also somehow managed to find a Ducati F1B which is something I’ve never heard about, but it’s basically a late 80s homologated race bike and only about 200 of them exist in the US. He’s got some old Ducati whisperer greybeard going through it right now, and I cannot wait to gently caress around with that thing.
