MXA MOTOCROSS RACE TEST: 2018 KTM 250SX TWO-STROKE | Sheet Metal Roofing Screws

So that’s why he’s making such a big deal of this being a fake. He wants it to be fake because, well I dunno, I guess that is somehow a "win" in his mind.

The Recycling Research Foundation (RRF), a nonprofit organization closely associated with the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), has announced Army veteran Joshua Daniel as the recipient of its 2018 National Veterans Stipend. Recognizing the need for financial aid as veterans seek to complete their degrees, the scholarship awards up to $8,000 to those who have served in the U.S. armed forces. The stipend covers $2,000 per year and is renewable for up to four years or the length of study.

Phillips head screws are a simple perpendicular cross groove connected at the center of the screw head.

The fridge draws its power from a Goal Zero battery, which runs on three pliable 100-watt solar panels that are attached to the roof. On the left side of the fridge is my propane tank, sitting on its side, which can be turned on and off quickly. I can fill it from this position, too, so it never needs to be fully removed. On the right side of the fridge is the water jug, which is sufficient for about a week or so. This back-seat build took me two long days, with a good bit of help from my dad and friends.

After going through three months of bullshit involving one GTX 285 and two 8800GTs both coughing up black screens due to shoddy engineering and shoddy driver development, plus an HP laptop with an nVidia GPU taking a shit barely a year prior, I want to see nVidia fail, but for some very specific and legitimate reasons. As in I generally can’t understand how hype and brand loyalty can sustain a company through multiple fuckups with nobody to blame but themselves. Even the Republican Party has fallen on hard

Once the chainring is mounted you need to align it as best you can. If it is warped then you can correct it using washers between the chainring and the wheel. It doesn’t have to be perfect, since the Cyclone kit has a chain aligned wheel that sticks out of their motor, even if the chain drifts a bit side to side it will still stay on. The problems will come when you wheel the wheelbarrow backward. If you can’t get the motor to line up correctly the other option is to find a narrow-wide chainring which should stop the chain derailments when pulling the wheelbarrow backward.

More often than not the culprit is either compressible material in the joint (e.g. paint, plastic or dirt) or insufficient torque (which may require a higher grade bolt to improve upon), however there’s many odd reasons. Interestingly, the solutions are often counter intuitive, e.g. going down a bolt size is sometimes the answer!

Today, it is rare to find cars that consistently breakdown or soaps that dissolve quickly. I challenge you to walk into any supermarket and find a product that is not of almost equal quality to the category leader in terms of functional performance. Nevertheless, the companies that were category leaders in the early days are more often than not the same ones today – and this speaks to the discipline of branding and marketing.

Frame guards. Some test riders think the plastic frame guards on both the Husky and KTM are too far outboard over their feet. They replace them with grip tape. KTM uses orange frame guards to protect its orange frames, but Husqvarna uses black frame guards, which negate a large portion of the white motif. White frame guards are available.

Their flagship brand, Gold Leaf, was the most expensive local brand, evoking images of exclusivity, good taste and wealth. In the late seventies and early eighties, based on the theme of ‘For the Taste Alone’, Gold Leaf projected men as discerning collectors of art and artefacts. This success inspired Lakson Tobacco’s Morven Gold to adopt Gold Leaf’s red and gold colours in their packaging, positioning the brand at those who aspired to smoke Gold Leaf but could not afford to. To further uplift their image, Morven Gold commercials were filmed in exotic locations. Another of Lakson’s brands, Princeton, entered the market as the longest cigarette with the positioning of ‘The Big One’!

This failure has, by default, strengthened media owners, particularly after cross-media ownership was indiscriminately permitted post-2002. With advertisers now compensating agencies on a creative fee basis instead of the traditional 15% commission on media spend, the capacity of agencies to counterbalance the dominance of advertisers, media and media buying houses has been weakened. This is only partially offset by some agencies opening their own media buying units.
