2023.06.04 23:04 Ahnonlosoio1 Iscrizione moto ASI
 | Un mio parente ha un’Aprilia RX125 del 1992, è sempre stata una moto da campi e per quanto ne sa anche lui non è mai stata immatricolata o registrata in alcun modo. Il numero di telaio c’è ma dei documenti e della targa non c’è traccia. submitted by Ahnonlosoio1 to ItalyMotori [link] [comments] Lui non non se ne fa niente e io è da un po’ che voglio prendermi una moto, solo che di spendere minimo 5/6k non ho tanta voglia, soprattutto sapendo che ci potrebbe essere la possibilità di rimettere per strada questa. Anche perché se non la prendo io lui la porta in discarica e sarebbe un peccato dato che secondo me è un gran pezzo di storia della motoristica italiana. Dobbiamo ancora parlare di soldi ma intanto mi ha detto che la posso prendere e tenermela, io ho intenzione di ricostruire storia della moto e immatricolarla (ammesso e non concesso che non saltino fuori casini della serie che si scopre che è stata rubata o altri problemi burocratici). Dopo il tagliando (e adeguata ristrutturazione) sarebbe anche ottimale iscriverla ASI per risparmiare su bollo e assicurazione ma non mi è chiara la questione dei documenti: sul sito dell’asi c’è scritto che possono essere iscritte le moto costruite più di 20 anni fa, ma per certificare ciò devo avere anche i documenti originali o possono risalire al dato dal numero di telaio? Inoltre, come potete vedere dalla foto il colore non è originale e la sella è rovinata… la sella ho intenzione di sistemarla, idem per le carene per darle un po’ di dignità, sapete se cose del genere possono procurare rogne in fase di iscrizione? Vogliono che il mezzo sia originale da cima a fondo? Grazie a chi risponderà, se avete altre informazioni/indicazioni/consigli per questo tipo di procedure scrivete pure |
2023.06.04 23:04 Extreme-Dust-114 Help For Gambling Challenges and other Challenges to Complete 100% run
 | Well, I finally completed all the challenges. After Youtube being my best friend that was. submitted by Extreme-Dust-114 to reddeadredemption [link] [comments] Shoutout to Gtamen by the way what a legend his guides are. Here's his channel that has all the challenge guides on. I would 100% recommend this for the herbalist and survivalist challenges. https://www.youtube.com/@Gtamen I saved the gambler challenges till last as I'm not a keen gambler and the reputation it had in the YouTube comments was concerning LOL. I had no idea how to play any. And still completed them all in one day. The first 1 - 7 are very simple to do in comparison to 8 and 9. 10 is a cake walk as you will find out below. My tips for challenges 8, 9 & 10. 8: I hope you have a second monitor. Whip up a series or video you want to watch and hit away. This one did take a while, but I managed to complete it within 45 minutes of constant hitting. 2c each time. I hit the heart of the cards and did get 2 back to back to my amazement. My X button afterwards 9: Play the original dominoes at emerald ranch with 1 opponent. The game itself is very simple, complete the game by either using all pieces or smart out the opponent. When playing make sure to look at your tiles and plan a route of placement. If you start try to use the piece with the most points on. Make sure to use all the largest point pieces in the case you may lose a round (the pieces add up for the points) If you can manage to find the pieces the opponent is missing this is key to winning quick. I did this challenge in 30 minutes. He will keep drawing until either he hits lucky or has no pieces left. This won me a game instantly which was nice. REMEMBER, if you're going to lose a game YOU CAN leave mid game and the challenge will stay as to where it was. a little cheating but after Rockstar decided challenge 8 was fine who cares. The first to 60 points wins a game. Just take care you will have to do this in 1 sitting. You cannot save the game and come back to the challenge later as it will reset. 10: This is super easy. Complete mission replays. Also useful if you want to get the all gold medal achievement as you can kill 2 birds at this stage. Replay mission 'A Fine Night of Debauchery' in chapter 4. To win without strauss' help just keep going all in to finish as quick as possible. You are scripted to win. 5 headshots is easy and just run to the right of the staircase at the shootout to make a quick exit. This will grant you 2 of the 3 wins. Replay mission 'Who Is Not Without Sin; in chapter 2. You are scripted to win the first and second rounds of Poker. This will complete the challenge and the second win will help towards the gold medal. To complete gold just rush back to the camp as quick as possible. Here is a YouTube video I followed that explains it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRhXffbmVws&list=FLM83MVzoPg-tgkamkFbRSTg&index=1&ab_channel=ArcticKrampus Hope anyone aiming to complete these challenges finds this guides and can help them in some sort of way. It was a lot less stressful than I thought. Just a little time consuming. Any questions feel free to DM me. Good luck all :) |
2023.06.04 23:04 Alive_Struggle9858 What is mania like for you?
I'm exploring the possibility of having bp2.
My sleep is pretty much always fucked and, if I were to be bipolar, it would seem that i sleep worse/less in my depressive periods than my hypo periods. I honestly dont think i can say ive ever completely lost a need for sleep, i always feel it after a few days. Ive been tracking my sleep on FitBit since December and generally i sleep like 4-5 hours a night. But sometimes this goes down to 1-3 and after about 4 days or a week of that i tend to crash for a day or 2 and feel more unstable and depressed. I do abuse caffeine and weed tho, however my reactions to these seem to vary greatly
There have been 3 instances in my life where my appetite magically decreases and dieting becomes easier, i drop weight without meaning to, but most of the time i am totally preoccupied with food even when i am "up."
I definitely have pressured speech but its hard to say whether that's exclusive to me being "up" or not.
There are times when im more social but im generally a little disagreeable and sometimes my "up" phases are accompanied by increased isolation as i feel i have a special, higher purpose to work towards and will only be brought down by others . So idk if thats hypo or any type of mania thing since it seems like most ppl when they're "up" just become complete social butterflies. Also when im "up" i still need to use alcohol as a social lubricant, awkward when around others who are just chilling and not drinking, and that usually ends in embarrassment for me
What i can definitely say tho is that there are times when my mindset, goals, and self perception are elevated. I become ambitious, motivated, confident, focused, even obsessive. I stop hating myself, feel spiritually significant, begin to feel worthy of the lofty goals and ambitions i set for myself. It becomes easier to do what I need to do to get where i want to get, and i do want, and i do try. But then it just goes away and im back to feeling worthless and undeserving, lose motivation and focus, my visions for my lift shift from expansive, positive, optimistic, and creative to fantasies of self destruction and suicide. Most recent experience of this was becoming extremely Christian, obsess about God and the Bible, intensely and emotionally spiritual, not want to talk to anyone about anything other than that and definitelyhaving pressured speech about it and also getting irritable/emotional at people disagreeing with me, nonstop consuming really intense Christian online content that i currently cant even stomach, buying a bunch of Christian clothing brand stuff and things like a purity ring (l. O. Fucking. L!) and redirecting my life vision to being "a faithful servant of God" and imagining myself becoming the voice of the generation bringing people to Jesus lol. I remember suddenly "feeling really good" but i wasnt sleeping any less and i wasnt necessarily working like a machine or anything. Then one day it just snapped and I went back to my self destructive habits (bulimia, weed, alcohol, sex) and started hating myself again and feeling undeserving of anything good, at first i had this mental feeling of demons pulling me down that i definitely made up, but then eventually i just felt empty and spiritually void and like none of it was ever even real. Thats honestly whats made me realize im weird and unstable af even tho that is deffinitely not even the worst its been in my life. Honestly its hard to imagine ever feeling so hopeful and confident again especially now that im starting to see that these moments could just be a result of a mental disorder. -_- then again, maybe ive just been young and dumb and those are normal parts of getting older? Idk nobody sees anything wrong but people have no idea how painful it is to be unable to trust myself and realize that i will always go back to depression that gets worse every time.
Tl;dr dae primarily experience mania as an uplifted mindset and spiritual essence vs any concrete symptoms of reduced sleep/appetite?

2023.06.04 23:03 ArthurDrakoni Chain of Being is a science fantasy audio drama set in a space opera future where gods and magic still meddle in the affairs of humanity. This is my review.
As is often the case, there are times when I’m aware of an audio drama for a while. However, sometimes it takes me a bit to get around to them. It helps when I get a nudge in that direction. But it almost always proves to be worth the wait. Such was the case with Chain of Being.
Chain of Being is set far into the future. Humanity has spread to the stars, encountered numerous alien races, and made major advances in science and technology. And yet this world of tomorrow is very much connected to the mythical past. Magic exists alongside science and technology, leviathans and angels attack unsuspecting spaceships, and gods constantly meddle in the affairs of humanity and the other sentient races. The series follows Adam Delta 5. He is the biblical Adam, the very first human ever created. Adam has been wandering the universe for thousands of years, and has grown a bit distant from the rest of humanity. Lately, however, Adam is taking more interest in humanity. A strange force is mutating beings across the universe, and twisting them into strange and unnatural forms. A force that may have a connection to Adam’s past.
The first few episodes of Chain of Being are a bit shorter, and are primarily there to ease the viewer into the setting. The show truly starts around episodes six and seven, Epistasis parts 1 and 2. That’s the point where Adam officially appears. I do understand why series creator Cai Gwilym Pritchard started with these prequel episodes. The setting of Chain of Being is a very unusual one. I can best describe Chain of Being as what would happen if China Miéville decided to make an audio drama. The key word here is weird, as in Weird Fiction.
You do get some hints of familiarity here and there. There’s certainly plenty of biblical allusions, and nods to various mythologies. However, they’re often presented in an unusual context. For example, our protagonist is the biblical Adam, but he’s an immortal, and he has glass horns and completely black eyes. I thought the horns might have been an obscure mythological reference. However, Cai Gwilym Pritchard says that they’re meant to be a reference to the Mark of Cain.
We first encounter Adam aboard an ark ship that is carrying some of the last surviving specimens of birds from East Africa. This is clearly a nod to the story of Noah and the Ark. Interesting that the birds were from East Africa, as that is where humans first evolved. I’m tempted to think that was deliberate. One of the prequel episodes features a character named Tubal Cain. He’s a minor character mentioned in the Book of Genesis, and is claimed to be the world’s first blacksmith.
Adam at one point mentions the different gods that created the different sentient races of the galaxy. Interestingly, it wasn’t Yahweh or Elohim who created humanity. Rather, it was a goddess named Epicurosa. She doesn’t appear to have an analog in any actual mythology, and appears to have been made-up for Chain of Being. Cai Gwilym Pritchard has said he feels a bit embarrassed that most of the aliens are humanoid. However, I think Chain of Being has a pretty brilliant explanation for that. Humans were created in the image of the gods, so it would make sense that other sentient races would be humanoid. It is mentioned that humans aren’t the only race that Epicurosa created.
I should also note that Cai Gwilym Pritchard created Chain of Being at the tender age of seventeen. They wanted to see more science fantasy stories, and decided to be the change they wanted to see in the world. Quite the accomplishment that was indeed.
Have you listened to Chain of Being? If so, what did you think?

That’s the point where Adam officially appears. I do understand why series creator Cai Gwilym Pritchard started with these prequel episodes. The setting of Chain of Being is a very unusual one. I can best describe Chain of Being as what would happen if China Miéville decided to make an audio drama. The key word here is weird, as in Weird Fiction.
You do get some hints of familiarity here and there. There’s certainly plenty of biblical allusions, and nods to various mythologies. However, they’re often presented in an unusual context. For example, our protagonist is the biblical Adam, but he’s an immortal, and he has glass horns and completely black eyes. I thought the horns might have been an obscure mythological reference. However, Cai Gwilym Pritchard says that they’re meant to be a reference to the Mark of Cain.
We first encounter Adam aboard an ark ship that is carrying some of the last surviving specimens of birds from East Africa. This is clearly a nod to the story of Noah and the Ark. Interesting that the birds were from East Africa, as that is where humans first evolved. I’m tempted to think that was deliberate. One of the prequel episodes features a character named Tubal Cain. He’s a minor character mentioned in the Book of Genesis, and is claimed to be the world’s first blacksmith.
Adam at one point mentions the different gods that created the different sentient races of the galaxy. Interestingly, it wasn’t Yahweh or Elohim who created humanity. Rather, it was a goddess named Epicurosa. She doesn’t appear to have an analog in any actual mythology, and appears to have been made-up for Chain of Being. Cai Gwilym Pritchard has said he feels a bit embarrassed that most of the aliens are humanoid. However, I think Chain of Being has a pretty brilliant explanation for that. Humans were created in the image of the gods, so it would make sense that other sentient races would be humanoid. It is mentioned that humans aren’t the only race that Epicurosa created.
I should also note that Cai Gwilym Pritchard created Chain of Being at the tender age of seventeen. They wanted to see more science fantasy stories, and decided to be the change they wanted to see in the world. Quite the accomplishment that was indeed.
Have you listened to Chain of Being? If so, what did you think?

Which speaker is better for use in the shower? I already know I prefer the Bose for its better treble focus and richness in sound but I don't know if it would be loud enough in the bathroom.

2023.06.04 22:47 ChessBro96 Annotations of my Quads games (from a 2100+ USCF player)
So, as some of you may know, I had been experiencing a terrible losing streak lately, dropping games that I really shouldn't to the point that I had been 0+ 2= 5- in the past seven games. However, during the past weekend, I felt a sort of divine bout of inspiration swell up inside of me and wanted to try something new out. Of course, the very next day I find out that I'm getting a bye in the next round.
Since I'm a guy who operates on emotional state, I knew I couldn't allow this chance to cool down, so I decided to take a risk and enroll into Saturday's Quads games (G30;d5). I had the unfortunate circumstance of having a last minute entry bump me down to a lower section, which I out-ranked by a good 150 points at least, so I knew I needed at least a 2,5/3 in order to preserve my rating. A link to the study (which was requested previously when I did this) is linked here: https://lichess.org/study/fbOOHr9S/VZl1kEAa
Game 1: In the first round, I was paired as White against a young Indian WCM. I'm primarily an 1.e4 player, but these little rascals have been tactically outplaying me for the past several games, so I decided to change things up and went for an anti-QGD. I actually ended up messing my move orders early on, which allowed her to equalize early because I couldn't guarantee the appearance of an IQP or hanging pawns structure on the board to play off. However, she seemed to be confused by the resulting position — I noticed that young players in these situations tend to attempt to form tactics when the board is quiet, but as a result she ended up floating aimlessly. There were actually two opportunities when she could have obtained an advantage, but she missed them and we ended up going into a rook and bishop endgame. I've also noticed that kids are notoriously terrible at endgames (which as somebody raised on the Soviet school of chess I find hilarious), as she misplayed what I considered a pretty basic endgame, although she was in time trouble at this point (and so was I). I ended up securing the passer and marching it up to victory. 1-0 for me.
Game 2: I was playing against a young Chinese kid as Black this time around and I went for the same strategy in the English Opening: slow the game down as much as possible and not allow any tactics to be induced into the position. And even though there were some moves that the engine ultimately wasn't a fan of, I succeeded in my strategy and ended up with a small edge. I did however miss an opportunity to play a blockade in the middlegame (rapid game, what can I tell ya?) which meant he had an opportunity to secure a plus if he gave away his h2-pawn for the f3-pawn. However, he didn't notice it and went for an endgame a pawn down. However, we both were in a fair bit of time trouble at this point as well and the endgame was quite complex with each side having 5-6 pawns with a knight vs bishop. I messed up some maneuvering that I probably would have gotten on longer time controls... I'll have to work on my endgames some more so that it'd come more intuitively. However, at a moment when he had a chance to equalize, with 30 seconds on the clock, he blundered straight into a fork and instantly resigned on the spot. 2-0 for me.
Game 3: This time, as Black, I was against a fellow Russian player who also scored 2-0 in the previous two rounds, so as they say: the winner takes it all. We went into a fairly well-known sharp line of the Sveshnikov that is no longer played at top level anymore after Peter Leko's 12...Rg8 neutralized it. He ended up fumbling the theory badly and gave a completely winning position for Black. However, I fumbled it as well by going into the endgame with a solid edge rather than pressing the winning position. The issue being that I spent several minutes on calculation before realizing that I actually didn't have enough time to calculate all the variations of the incredibly sharp line, so I was satisfied for going to a positional plus instead. Which we both ended up fumbling a little, but I ended up breaking through with my rook on the queenside and emerging a pawn up with the king on the back rank that I exploited. He resigned as soon as he realized how hopeless his piece-down position was. 3-0 for me.
In conclusion, not bad, scoring a performance rating of 2369 and going from 2127 to 2173 USCF. However, there were definitely a few issues I have to work on despite the wins: the first game needs some work on opening theory and move transpositions if I want to adopt the quieter 1.Nf3 into my repertoire — I can't allow Black to equalize that easily early on. The next two games I had a bit too many fumbles in the endgame, despite their complexity, especially in the second game, which I shouldn't have pissed away like that (42...g4? was an especially sketchy move) so I need a bit more work on knight vs bishop endgames especially. The third game was fine for the most part, but could use a bit of improvement on calculation abilities and especially back rank understandings: I was actually a little confused as to what I should have done against 32.f3 if it had appeared on the board, so that was a combination deficiency right there. Other than that, I can't say that I'm not happy with the result, and hope this offsets some of the rating loss that will be incurred in the ongoing tournament.
Any suggestions and questions are welcome. :)

The next two games I had a bit too many fumbles in the endgame, despite their complexity, especially in the second game, which I shouldn't have pissed away like that (42...g4? was an especially sketchy move) so I need a bit more work on knight vs bishop endgames especially. The third game was fine for the most part, but could use a bit of improvement on calculation abilities and especially back rank understandings: I was actually a little confused as to what I should have done against 32.f3 if it had appeared on the board, so that was a combination deficiency right there. Other than that, I can't say that I'm not happy with the result, and hope this offsets some of the rating loss that will be incurred in the ongoing tournament.
Any suggestions and questions are welcome. :)

I think it is time to retire the players that played before 1980 on the all time lists. It’s impossible to debate jerry west vs Steph curry. We need to have a list of the top players pre 1980 and start fresh. Top players post 1980:
