Still trying to #sell my 2014 #BMW #R1200RT #motorcycle. 34k miles, great condition and a huge pile of extras including an ICOM and ISTA. You CAN maintain THIS bike yourself.
Buyer gets first crack at all my moto gear. I’m getting out of 2-wheel travel. A walrus told me the time has come.

For recording shocks to equipment, I have a really dumb question. (Not specific to Mx Ngo's story.)
Can't we use those shock-monitor stickers? The one's that break at certain accelerations?
Obviously your box would do much more.

This is one of four identical connectors on a Woyo CANbus light controller. It’s a satellite Power Distribution Unit for auxiliary lighting on a motorcycle. It is not intended for incandescent lights, probably maxs out at 1 amp total across all terminals.
I’ve found some similar, but the vertical key is stumping me.

Adam, respectfully, ask for examples of inconsistency. Their using that word is the eqv of saying you have a bad attitude.
Ask for specifics, and brace yourself for what might be a torrent. If they could list them in text, you could look for things to change when writing.
I wouldn’t be above putting some stalking horses in there, even obvious ones. Just to see if they’re paying attention.

This connector is used by the Denali and Golden Runway brands of auxiliary lights.
Denali only charges $6 for a mating pigtail, I might just go with that to connect whatever 3-wire (PWM) lights I end up with.

Wait, the Russians are hiring a former client-state to provide ballistic missiles?
Is this because Vlad's run out? Or all his weapons-experts and -factories are in UKR? (they are. or were.) Or is it for the NORKs to be fall-guys?
I can't wrap my head around this; like the US hiring missiles+crews from Phillipines. Or for max-irony points, the Bikini Atoll.

Vee, search for Garbati's sculpture of Medusa Holding the Head of Perseus. (Wikipedia took down the picture.)
It's more frank than this one, and stunning in the simple exhausted-hatred of her expression.
Also, Perseus--the fucking asshole--needed all the help the gods would give to even equal her in battle.
We men are embarrassing.

Adding that brand has never added value or bode well for longevity.
The brand couldn't run a casino at-cost, let alone profitably.
