I'll forget all about this post in about 5-7 lemmy posts. Higher than my normal 3-4 lemmy post memory-wipe because I'm commenting.

With the government executing this message to our youth, I think they'll work as well as the anti-piracy ones back in the day.

You Wouldn't Steal a Car

Yeah when I'd "disable" my right hand I'd have to wait for the weekends or homework that involved writing wouldn't be able to get done. You did this as an adult? That's dedication. I think in time anyone could adapt if they had to or could afford to be low-functioning for a while but I always wonder if there's shortcut steps to start rewiring your brain to not automatically assign tasks to your dominant hand.

It's all fun and games until they start stealing Kia's and Hyundai's.

Yeah that food court stop is the consolation prize to drain out that last $5 in the account.

I notice lefties. Im right-handed and when I was little and much dumber I wanted to be left-handed. So I did a bunch of weird shit to force it. Stuff like wrapping my right hand up for whole day, trying reverse controls for video games, wearing my watch on my right hand, etc. Some stuff did take, like the watch on my right hand, which ironically made my right hand more dominant. Being a lefty is the club that I was never able to join but think about subconsciously all the time I guess.

Pretty nifty solution. As a bonus you could snap them together so they stay paired when not being worn.

I just read that as well. Or there's just no witnesses. Also read something that they stop attacking if the boat stops.

Have a '24 GSX R750. Brand new so I can't personally speak to longevity issues. That being said, Suzuki has kept this same bike since 2011 (trim changes only) which suggests it is a proven build. I think there was an upgrade to Brembo brakes a few years ago? But other than that it's essentially the same bike 2011-2024. Needless to say its been super easy finding/selling OEM and aftermarket parts for upkeep/upgrades. As a bonus, the GSX R600 is mostly identical to the 750 for parts swaps as well.

There's a series of "how to politely decline your stepsister's advances" by Ryan Creamer. I watched it with my son on Pornhub. Talk about a bonding moment.

If you don't eat that chicken wing clean, we can't be friends.

You get one pass and that's if you only take 1 wing.

 

Just curious to see if any of you out there have been observing any trends that might lead to new motorcycle legislation - for better or worse. I noticed that for 2024 Nebraska surprisingly repealed their motorcycle helmet law making it optional for wear. Definitely raised an eyebrow as they still criminalize lane splitting.

I try to stay on the optimistic side for lane filtering eventually passing here in Virginia but seeing how we are one of only two states where radar detectors are illegal, I think it's fair to say we may just stay in stasis for a while. Anyone else optimistic or pessimistic on new moto laws for this year?

 

I think this is a great idea but I can also see how some may view this as intrusive or a slippery slope with regard to personal medical information.

Any downsides to this I might be overlooking?

 

WHY??? Had a radar detector in other states I've lived in and think this made me an overall more mindful driver about speeding. There's also evidence that the ban of these devices have no impact on speeding in general. More arguments in the link... What's everyone's thoughts on this? Are Virginia and Mississippi the two states that got it right?
