"Study my brain. I'm sorry," Tisch quoted Tamura as having written in the note. The commissioner noted that Tamura had fatally shot himself in the chest.

Didn't shoot himself in the head to preserve the brain. Reminds me of the "Texas Tower Shooter" Charles Whitman.

In his note, Whitman went on to request an autopsy be performed on his remains after he was dead to determine if there had been a biological cause for his actions and for his continuing and increasingly intense headaches.

During the autopsy, Dr. Chenar reported that he discovered a pecan-sized brain tumor, above the red nucleus, in the white matter below the gray center thalamus, which he identified as an astrocytoma with slight necrosis.

I've heard a neuroscientist talk about this and conclude that this tumor could very well have been the cause for his behavior.

Deleted / Wrong thread.

I’ve serviced the motor before and I’m familiar with the part in question. At this point it’s not even about the cost - I just dread spending another minute wrenching on this thing instead of riding it. I’m tempted to just take it to a shop and tell them to figure it out. What really throws me off is how this only happens in the lowest gears, even though the bike has no way of knowing what gear I’m in. I even took out the Eggrider display and put the Bafang unit back on but no difference.

It was supposed to be a joke. They live around 2 to 4 years.

which is perfectly normal.

Not on a car forum. That's straight up asking for trouble.

I don’t think most real women would bring up the fact that they're a woman - especially on a car forum. Not that they’d hide it, but just wouldn’t bring it up, the same way most men don’t bring up that they’re men. When someone makes a point of mentioning it, it immediately raises suspicion, and if they get defensive about it, that’s another red flag. Throw in a gendered username or an avatar on top of that and you’ve got all the hallmarks of a guy pretending to be a woman.

I know some women are genuinely into cars - I even know one personally - but that doesn’t mean they can’t act like men. And most men have been fooled enough times online that we’ve just gotten pretty cynical about it.

I've had the same gerbil for almost 30 years. I doubt I'd notice if someone swapped it into identical colored one in the middle of the night.

Judging by the comments here I'm getting the impression that people would like to rather provide a selfie or ID.

I'll make sure to try crying tomorrow in the hopes that my tools magically appear on the jobsite.

No other than it's geographically closer to my actual location so I thought the speed would be faster.

I agree with the sentiment but despite the vast amount of pushback and downvotes I get for voicing certain views it's extremely rare for me to have my comments removed let alone be banned. Some individual communities might be worse than others and .ml communities you should avoid like the plague anyway but broadly speaking I'd still claim that it's pretty difficult to get mods to take action against you as long as you're being polite.

And as a self-employed I only know how much I earned at the end of the year which could be wildly different than the year before.
