I finally solved the exhaust leak today. no more annoying ticking sounds or idle surging!
I had to install these new copper crush gaskets into the exhaust.
I'm so freakin' glad I don't have to pull the valve covers off and service the hydraulic lifters. :catstress:

fiscal conservatism prioritizes the wealthy over the poor, which is class warfare, which is socially conservative
hating queers is one of a set of relatively niche issues used to create a false separation between the two (I say this as a queer person)

it was refreshing to see a game based around the concept of "the singularity" turn around and ask whether we've even earned the right to decide those sorts of things, given how we've spent so much time being bigots towards already-existing beings
and it pretty firmly lands on "not yet, fuckers"

BUT, very quickly, it firmly backhands the entire question
and it gives real-world text excerpts of philosophers, politicians, slave owners, describing various human beings as subhuman and not worthy of respect or dignity
"what kind of question is that? we can't even decide if HUMANS are human"

I was thinking more of Belos, who is an actual theocratic fascist

anyway, got to use the fancy lubricant and fix a stupid problem on the bike, and managed to do it without having to completely disassemble the swing arm to do it, which is nice. :BlobCat_Googly_Dab:

basically, when I had done the swing arm, I had used the wrong type of lubricant on the u-joint, which would lead to excess wear.
also, the PO (or shop the PO went to) used the wrong size of boot to protect the u-joint, so I bought the correct one

back at it again
there's a "u-joint" that goes between the final drive and the engine's transmission. basically, because the engine is stationary and the rear wheel swings with the swing arm, there needs to be a moveable joint that connects the two, similar to a car's CV axle

"oh that's just for the pornography, pure and chaste gays are fine"
you lick that boot any harder you'll be in violation of China's obscenity laws too

sleep dep has a way of quieting all the other thoughts in your head in the very-short-term
it's not sustainable bc your nerves get fried pretty quickly, but there's that butter zone where everything temporarily clicks
all of the publishable music I've produced has been after a night of insomnia

hating the ergonomics of Rust does not make me a bad programmer; it means I care about usability and have taste

it's always the best feeling buying aftermarket parts for your vintage bike from random hobby shops in the middle of nowhere because they're the only ones doing it.

fixed the speakers on the radio! one was disconnected taking out the entire left side.
unfortunately, I also discovered that two fuel hoses are leaking. including one I just bought. :BlobCat_Googly_Sad:
