A reddit camping meetup a few years ago in WV by Garage_Dragonin motocamping

If anyone wants to do it again, let me know. This is the right time of the year for it.

What gear do you use when MotoCamping? by da1hoboin motocamping

[–]Garage_Dragon 0 points1 point ago

A lot of the same gear as you stuffed in an Army duffle bag across the passenger seat. You can fit an astounding amount of crap in one of those.

Get some speed and be in a gear that has your rpm high. For me, that would be around 6 to 7 thousand. While doing nothing else flick the kill switch off, count to two, and flick it back on again. You should hear a very satisfying bang that sounds a lot like a gun going off behind you.

Don't worry about your bike lurching to a stop or anything like that. The engine is already at speed and the momentum of the bike is more than enough to carry on. Don't clutch or brake, don't let off the throttle, and don't mess with your key. Just hit the kill switch long enough for vapors to build up in your pipes.

This might not work with all bikes and I know it won't work with fuel injection. My bike has four carbs and four pipes, so that's probably a factor.

Chevy Volt. Works awesomly with my Android.

One of my jars is pinning but it hasn't colonized fully.. Any advice? by callitwhatyawantin shroomers

[–]Garage_Dragon 3 points4 points ago

You're right that that's not a pin, but they can pin quite easily in the jar. I would expect it to happen here.

If it pins on you, let it go until it starts getting big or for as long as possible. If you feel like you really need to birth the cake, go for it. Give it a nice dunk in cool water and carefully scrape off any verm that's not colonized yet.

You'll be fine. That's a nice healthy cake you have there.

I hope you saw some green for making that discovery.

Finally did something with that boring wall yesterday by fallibilismin DIY

[–]Garage_Dragon 2 points3 points ago

Didn't mean to come across that way. It's just that I've seen a lot of faux finishing and I've seen a lot of poor attempts at it. I've screwed it up myself in the past. It looks very easy, and it is, except that it's also very easy to pick the wrong colors and techniques.

What fallibilism did was very bold, but it worked extremely well. He also put a ton of work into it. I wouldn't have had the guts to try something that ambitious.

Amazing. Excellent workmanship and design. I'm really impressed with that and it takes a lot to impress me.

I'be heard that it's not great for it, but I don't really know for sure.

I'm loving my Amazon cloud. I have to as out of curiosity (and this is really an honest question), what does iTunes offer that Amazon doesn't?

I'm not sure why it works so well on mine, but it sounds like a shot gun going off. It could be the four carbs and four pipes. I get the best results coasting down a steep hill with the engine briefly off. It keeps the rpms up while vapors build. My bike cackles and pops a lot during deceleration anyway.

It's not something I do very often, but I can't resist it in a tunnel when riding with a friend. One of these days that trick is going to leave me stranded.

Or cut the ignition off, coast for a few seconds, and cut it back on.

BANG

Carbs for the win.

I make reddit's favorite pictures! Nikon 85mm f2.8 tilt shift lens [700x595] (OS) by soupyhandsin MachinePorn

Yeouch. I figured it would be pricey, but that's way high. I guess a normal 85mm 2.8 would be fairly expensive before the tilt mechanics ...

My blood type is AB Pos. I'm the universal recipient, but no one else except the 3% of people with my type can take it. When I donate blood, is it basically worthless, or do they do other things with it? by Garage_Dragonin askscience

[–]Garage_Dragon[S] 0 points1 point ago*

One other quick question for you - does my blood type make me more or l ess likely to be a good bone marrow doner match? Or, is blood type really not a factor in that?

She may not be pretty, and she may not be fast, but this one is mine. by SunglassAtNightin motorcycles

I don't have your bike, but I have your engine. What fireinthesky says about V-4s is very true. They strike a great balance between torque and RPM. You really the best of both worlds. That engine is a race-work-horse.

Second week in, they are really stretching for the finish line now. by MetalFingersDoomin shroomers

If that's only your second week, then you really nailed the tek. I wouldn't be surprised if they start pinning in the jar.

Good rhizomatic growth. That is some happy mycelium you have there.

I was under the impression that plasma donation was a separate process and not a part of normal blood donation. I will definitely sign up to donate again the next time the blood mobile comes to my work.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
