  • No, because whilst Linux is a good operating system, and, realistically, apple products are good at what they’re designed to do. Some of the fan base just won’t shut up and just have to insert their views wherever they want.

    It’s annoying to see that type of shit. And yes, I’m fully aware hard core windows users will do it too, but here, I haven’t seen one comment where they’ve forced themselves into an unrelated question, unless it was as backstop or something.













  • I’ve got some, but they’re not small.

    There’s callmekevin for game plays, but it’s done in the worst way possible. (Rtgame, too. They’re friends and have videos together)

    Stephen tries’ main channel. He does comedy sketches. But may not land as well if you’re not from England.

    And, one I haven’t seen people mention, Kurzgesagt. Some people have issues from them for talking about things that may be influenced. And they’ve got big sponsors like Bill Gates. But, when you actually watch them, that whole kerfuffle just doesn’t make sense because of what they talk about. They do educational videos, and their art style is the best I’ve honestly seen.



  • I just want to point out, whilst I don’t think I’ve ever heard actual big bikes with shit exhausts, and only occasionally hear it with 16/17/18 year olds with little 50ccs, or brutalised 125’s. I know some riders, probably quite a few, do use high RPM, which will make it louder, but it is beneficial to the motorbike to use higher revs.

    I know, for my bike, which is a sports bike (can’t speak for other types), prefers being ran around just under gear up revs, around the 5k-6.4k mark. This is the range where it gets its power from. You can tell because if you’re in 3rd going about 20mph, it feels sluggish, and I think that puts it around 4k. But as you get faster and the revs pickup, it solves that sluggish feeling. But, in 2nd at 30mph, at about 5.7k, it doesn’t have that issue. I’ve also heard that the temperature difference can also sort of clean the piston head. However, I can’t personally confirm this, as I have no way of doing it.

    It’s also why you’ll see people using high revs when overtaking. Because you want that power to safely overtake and get it done quickly.

    In short. Yes, shit sounding exhausts on bikes that have absolutely no purpose sounding like that is a dickhead thing to do, but when it comes to big bikes, it can be understandable why you’d need it. Unless I’m fully misreading this and some people in other places have extremely loud exhausts. I’m just speaking from experience.

    And, no, I don’t use high revs at night, where it might disturb others, if I’m going past horses, in which case, I’ll pull my clutch and know off the revs, and slowly slide past them (killing the engine could also work, I just haven’t had chance to test it) or if I’m going past children/babies.

    Another thing I think happens, but I could be wrong, is on cars, you’ve got the full length of the car to make it quieter. On a bike I’m assuming because there’s like no space, it doesn’t get the chance to get quieter. I think this is just for stick exhausts/actual aftermarket exhausts like an akropovic. Again, this could be complete bullshit, I just wondered if it made any difference.
