What's the difference between MotoGP and the Superbike World Championship?
Ever wondered what the main differences between MotoGP and the FIM Superbike World Championship are? Let us run you through it.
Although the bikes that race in the MotoGP and the Superbike World Championship might look pretty similar, under the hood they are very different machines.

Status: I just had the weirdest knee pain ever. It started suddenly, and it felt like someone was poking a needle in it, about 1-2 times per second at very irregular intervals. It was going on for about a minute or two, then I started poking the knee and twisting it in every way I could, eventually I heard a sound like knuckles cracking and the pain stopped.

These people are in a market where new construction starts at $300K (jobs do not seem to support this but whatever). They're flabbergasted that I would even suggest less than that but more than I paid, like I'm ripping them off.
They also seem to think realtors should take 10% of the sale price. I really don't remember since I didn't consider it when buying but I thought it was actually in the range of 3% or 4%. Because if you're taking 10% of crazy prices, don't you only need to sell 1 to beat minimum wage and 2 or 3 to make (local) IT money?

My current main classes are RDM and WHM. RDM is going to lose power budget to that defensive buff and it kind of makes them worse as the "prog on RDM, farm on SMN/BLM" caster slot since if you prog while depending on that defensive buff now you have to reprog the healing plan when you switch (not that I'm looking for a static there but still). WHM probably won't be impacted that severely, depending on how much activity the new single target buffs wind up requiring, but the fact that they turned all healer filler skills into AST filler makes me concerned that the buff is going to be a 30s or less cooldown which will make for a lot more target whack-a-mole, casting errors, and annoyance.
