I chose a song while i was driving via Siri. I used YouTube music as it's a random live performance video on YouTube.

This



After it had finished playing, the other song just came on.

I'm fairly new to YouTube music as I have Apple Music. I got it so I can play stuff like that as music while I'm driving. Call me naive, but I was pretty surprised to have AI bullshit fed to me after I chose a song like that.

Yeah I just have autoplay off on all the platforms, I know too much about how it's implemented and how bad their incentives are.

That's a good cover though!

Motorcycles>helmets>Arai??

Hey
Any motorcycle riders out there?
Bought a Shoei Neotec helmet in 2016.
It felt good trying out in the shop, but after a few weeks it felt tight at the front.
Now it causes me so much pain in the forehead after about 30-40 mins of riding
I live in Japan where helmets are rounder and less oval-yes, even the Japanese brands. (Their export models are shaped differently)

Anyway, after much research I decided that an Arai helmet, even Japan specs, is my best bet (unless I fly to Australia)

I have to buy one size bigger just to get the fore-aft part of my jug inside without cracking it. They’ll put oversized padding on the sides to fill it out. Not ideal but less of the two evils.

So I think I’m settled on the Arai I want but I just got one question. Arai, are no doubt premium, the other stuff felt like plasticy second-rate after I tried theirs, but ARai insist on having this clumsy strap thing with two d-shaped rings which I have to thread the strap through (instead of the simple ratchet like click ‘n push thing all another brand’s have.

I read there are hacks that experienced riders use so that this awkward issue can be made easier. Is anyone familiar with one? Or does one just get used to threading the damn thing everytime - definitely a two hands job

I ride and those D shaped rings while clumsy are the safest option you can get. Ryan from Fortnine does a good video explaining why. I can't recall exactly what the reason was.

I'm not sure I've ever had a helmet with any other option and that has included Shoei, Arai, AGV, Bell etc.. maybe it's different in Japan though.

I think you will quickly get used to them anyway. The key is remembering to put your gloves on last after you've put your helmet on.
