Major improvements I noticed: - user-replaceable gas canisters, no need to send to service center - more breathable, lighter, less cumbersome - onboard controls - can disable airbag without unzipping, no phone app needed to change modes - physical power switch to prevent accidental battery...

Wow, nice to see them make an already good system even better! https://www.cycleworld.com/motorcycle-gear-and-products/alpinestars-tech-air-5-plasma-review/

I have an old FiRed-Up vest that no longer works because one of the heating pad wires broke right at the pad, so difficult to resolder. None of the other pads heat up, so it must be wired in series like old school Christmas light strings that die when a single bulb burns out.

I think he's talking about a built-in temperature controller that presents as a single push-button that you press for cycling through power on, power levels, and off.

This was through their own site. Before third party delivery services, I remember Chinese, Pizza, and Swiss Chalet were known for having their own delivery drivers (anyone remember those red and white cars from Mr. Pong). I don't recall them changing individual prices for delivery since they...

You replied as I was editing my post, but they have their own drivers and don't use those companies.

Oh yeah, if you've ever ordered Swiss Chalet for delivery, take a close look at the prices. On top of the "system fee" and "driver tip", the prices of each menu item is jacked up when you select delivery. That's sneaky. They're basically pulling an Uber Eats but using their own drivers.

Yeah, that's the major downside, especially anything that's supposed to be crispy.

One of the things we do more often now instead of dining at restaurants is ordering takeout from the same restaurants and saving on drinks and tips. Brings the prices back to "normal" in many cases, and we get to eat in the comfort of our underwear own home.

A search to help out a fellow 990 owner led me back to this old post, so I figured I might as well do a follow-up. I never made that trip to California, but my odometer is at 110k now, so about 9000 kms since buying it with 101k. Other than the pre-existing issues which I fixed, it's been...

What happens in Vegas...

Just salt and pepper before cooking, but I set my pepper grinder to coarse for a crusted peppercorn steak. Reverse sear in oven until 125F using 170F for around 2 hours (or 200F for 45 minutes if I'm not patient). Then pan fry to sear the outside for a few minutes. Deglaze the pan with some...

I've used my car battery to test heated gear before. If the pigtail fuse is good and the leads are attached to the correct polarity, there's not much else to rule out than the gear itself.

Did you set it to AGM mode (the picture of the snowflake/Optima battery)? I have the same model, and it's never let me down in terms of maintaining batteries long term, or reviving abused batteries. Maybe it doesn't do exactly what it says it does, but I'm happy with the end results.

I get what you're saying about making the ad easy for the buyer, but you can't anticipate every question. Someone always comes up with something new. However, what I do is add the answer to common questions back into my ad as they get asked. But at some point, you either run out of space, or get...

... at least for those questions. The "Icon" model by definition is an 800. If the person looking at the ad doesn't know this or can't do a quick search to find out, how serious can they be and are they worth the time to educate? I cater my ads to people who know what they're looking for and...

Isn't the definition of pulse “on and off”? Appears to be doing what it says it does if you attached a well maintained, fully charged battery? Maybe try a dead battery to see if it does something differently?

I'm not retired, but I don't recall any of the questions being out of the ordinary for verifying income. It is, after all, a credit application.

My go-to is the Mozza burger, add grilled onions, hold the Mozza/Big Mac/Thousand Islands sauce. Before that, the Grandma burger was my favorite until it was discontinued.

I don't care what the machine is preset to - I just press "other" if I disagree. Not as simple as pressing one button, but still way more convenient than handing them your card, waiting for them to return, and then calculating the tip in your head and writing it down with a pen that may or may...
