the Hero image for "car" on wikipedia is that of a Toyota Corolla.

which shows that all of humanity agrees that the Corolla is the most car of any car that has ever car'd.

alpinestars makes a harder-to-don shoe,
underarmor makes a slippier sock.

a tale as old as sports themselves.

went for a night ride.
it's nice out.

anyway nini fedi

one of the simple pleasures of my work is taking a moment to contemplate hostnames for the new recruit's mechs, err, laptops.

some are mufos and are very easy. the others are going to be much more difficult, even though i've been working with them a bit longer.

@icedquinn@blob.cat [everybody hated this]

i took my pet for a ride and it was a very good backpack ^_^

this was my first time with a passenger and somehow.. SOMEHOW.. i didn't scare them 😌 we'll go zoomies next time!

i see you standing there tonight
with an open heart, tell me if you feel alive
i see your name up in the sky
could you hold me tight, with the tears up in my eyes
this feeling that i can't describe
can you let me know?
should we let this feeling grow? go, go
should we let this feeling grow? go, go
should we let this feeling~~

@icedquinn@blob.cat if this is about your new jobbo:

no, you don't. you'll be filing your taxes as a consultant. we don't get any notable tax breaks and chances are make too much for things like Earned Income Credit, even.

all you have to do is set back 30% because _you're gonna owe_.

forming a company is only useful for the individual if they live in one of a few states, otherwise there is no savings to be had.

@icedquinn@blob.cat are you asking about taxes?

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com the mirrors are too far rear to be of any use to me when riding on the road.

anyway i just checked out the obligatory "honda vfr800f sound" search and i think i'm in love. the engine seems extremely gentlemanly and compliant.

i'm looking at shorty levers for the KTM 390 ADV and see that the latest from CRG "feature replaceable Delrin lever tips" and i took offense to that :harumph:

raise your hand if you've ever taken a metal file to the end of a lever after learning some lessons in the parking lot ^_^

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com naaaaahhh we already have a sport bike ^_^

kinda feeling a touring bike...


not that the RC390 is ugly or anything, it's beautiful!

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com oh yea the 401... if it weren't naked...

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com well the 390 is a modern design. 2020 was their first year. the electronics package is what sold it to me.

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com i really think the entire industry has either lost itself or been put on cruise for the past 2 decades. i walk in to a shop and just like you i see the same stuff i saw in the 90's. and that's just the gear; you have to DIG to find gear that doesn't make you look like either a power ranger, pirate, or moto gp champion. that IS getting better, though. gonna hit up the local Honda shop next week and maybe find a new jacket. also my pants need modifying. the list goes on...

OH! now that i've had the KTM 390 for a year... the only thing it really needs is shorty levers. that's it. it's an awesome bike, i know you'd have fun on one for sure!

@icedquinn@blob.cat nothing's changed. a third of my mufos will still have to deal with my ass on Monday ^_^
