_a_verb

I'm looking for a a figurative 1 or 2 word expression for 'obliviously'. 'Blindly ' doesn't quite cover it and seems cliché.

While on a walk a couple were so evolved in conversation they rudely took more than their share of the path. I said they were "obliviously solving the world's problems." The phrase was clumsy to say.

Any ideas?

I'm looking for a smaller bike for local runs and like the look of the scrambler. Can I get some feedback on Ducati Scrambler reliability and performance? I've been on Kawasakis sport and sport tourer. I'm interested in something different.

Thanks in advance

My steel crew said the trick is dry ice. Is this a known practice?

What damage could this do?

I live on the East Coast of South FL. This time of year the land of DeSantis grows by 1/3 with snow birds (I'm an import here year round). I'm seeing an unreasonable amount of attention and downright stupid thinking about a Haitian refugee influx.

DeSantis reportedly sent a bunch State Troopers and National Guard to South Fl and the Keys to gather the wave of refugees. In fiscal year 2022-23 the US Coast Guard reported a little over 7k Haitian were repatriated. That's the entire East Coast (I'd guess most in FL) but it seems a bit staged. In reality, I'm all for posting service men and women in the Keys. They deserve it.

I got a robocall last night from the local sheriff. It was a warnin

There's an old Grateful Dead sticker I like to slap on on the back of my motorcycle luggage (saddlebag to some). After a few months the stickers I've found all fade.

Do they make a uv resistant sticker or a uv resistant spray to protect them?

Our house is 6 years old, 850 SF footprint with a loft in S Florida. It's wood frame with closed cell foam insulation on walls, floors and roof. Mini-splits (4x) for cooling, heating and dehumidifier. One is on dehumidifier almost full time. Outside air is introduced with a Broan mixing box an hour or so a day and we go in and out all the time. Temp stays around 77° F with RH averaging around 55%, maybe a bit lower.

SO complains that when we come back after leaving the house for a few hours "it smells like drywall". Personally I don't smell it but my olfactory never has been too sharp.

What is she smelling? What are the possible causes for this odor?

Side note: I chose mini_splits to e

Riding 7" from the midday sun in S Fl. On a regular route I pulled away on a green arrow to a left hand turn (accelerating lightly to load the rear wheel). About 2/3 of the way through the rear wheel let go a bit. It was a 'huh' moment. It caught and there was no problem, just a mild wtf.

I can only guess I hit a tar patch but I didn't see anything (I like to think I'm watching my line).

Is this a high heat road hazard? Can hot asphalt slip away under load while cornering?

Have you hit this?
