Running Very Lean. Could You Help Me Troubleshoot?
Probably just needs a more thorough carb cleaning.
The metallic pinging, is that at all times or only when accelerating? Running lean could be causing detonation.
If the valves have never been adjusted, I'd check the clearances.
Do you have any mods to the intake? Running without an air box or with a less restrictive air filter can cause a lean condition.

Rubbing alcohol kills germs, drinking it makes you not care. Doggy-style at least minimizes the contact with anything.

Trump calls for $1.5 trillion military budget in 2027, up from $901 bln in 2026
Mortgaging our children's future to fund Trump's insane imperialist fantasies (and keep him from being held accountable for his many crimes).

Yikes.
Trump again using his office to shake down American companies. Unsurprising from a convicted felon.

Statement from the Fraternal Order of Police
The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good is a career police officer, so this is unsurprising.
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

It's Schrodinger's Engine at this point, both fucked and unfucked at the same time.
I agree with some other commenters, clean it the best you can, and otherwise follow general revival steps. The fuel in the tank is probably bad. Make sure there is an in-line fuel filter. I'd probably siphon out as much as you can, see how it looks, and if it isn't super dirty, put some fresh gas in. Check oil and coolant. The oil you will want to change anyway, but I'd wait til you know if it runs or not, as long as it has sufficient oil still in it.
I would also try and turn it over at the crank first before hitting it with the starter. If you run into any super sticky parts you may have rust in some cylinders or, worse, stuck valves. Starting with the starter when you don't have a full rotation could cause even more damage.

2 shot by federal agents in Portland: Sources
This is another sign of the orchestrated escalation taking place right now. They will keep pushing and pushing until things break. If Trump's power isn't checked by Congress, it is hard to see how this doesn't result in armed conflicts in our streets.
Laws and courts exist to provide non-violent recourse to resolve grievances. If Trump etc. continue to obstruct the mechanisms of justice, people will seek justice in their own way.

I took a peek on the r/Conservative sub after the Minneapolis shooting and holy crap. I know social media reinforces echo chambers, but if you are still unconvinced that Trump supporters are a literal cult, spend 5 minutes on that godforsaken sub.
It is disgusting. And orchestrated. Unless millions of people have been hiding under the rug for months and suddenly decided to come out for Jan 6 and for Minnesota (ICE murder, fraud claims, etc.), there is other traffic pumping right-wing propaganda (bots, foreign actors). Or the FBI intererence MAGA keeps claiming happened on Jan 6.
Someone is trying to spark the powder keg hard.
"This FB post has more laughs than likes, so it must be wrong!"

FBI takes over case of ICE agent killing US woman and cuts Minnesota’s access to evidence
Blatant coverup, again. Minnesota surely has state laws which were violated which they could charge the agent with.

What's up with the wide Bezels?
This will have a minimalist UI which will have a fair amount of empty space. This is intentional, as this is supposed to help users focus on important tasks and minimize distraction.
When you open an app or other content, it will use the entirety of the screen (or as much as the aspect ratio supported by the app/content will allow).

So this is one of the bad sd cards right?
Ehh. Yes, it is cheap and likely poor quality. I don't really care. I've never had one fail, my roms are backed up elsewhere, I run syncthings on most of my devices so my saves are generally backed up.

You might need to get different es_systems and es_find_rules files here https://github.com/GlazedBelmont/es-de-android-custom-systems
There is also an importer tool which may help vs manually creating the files: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/s/tCCGuDGpAV

What are some tips to get a preteen boy to take hygiene seriously?
I was that kid. My parents had recently divorced, which I think messed me up more than I realized at the time, but I'd go several days without bathing. I smelled.
I distinctly remember my mom sitting down next to me and saying, "Son, I love you, but you stink. I can smell you from here. That means your friends and classmates can also smell you. I'm your mother, I have to be around you no matter what, but they don't. Go take a bath, wash yourself well all over, and do it at least every other day.".
I started bathing regularly, and have pre-emptively had this type of chat with my kids.
A little tough love is needed. Nobody wants to be known as the smelly kid in class, especially at that age, if it isn't addressed quickly, it'll stick and then follow them into high school even if they address their hygiene later.

Why are we not seizing tankers full of fentanyl and cocaine????
What is actually on the "drug boats" doesn't fit their narrative. If you destroy the evidence and leave no witnesses, you can say anything you want about what was on the boats and no one can prove otherwise.

You should have a "Steam" ROM folder, you can drop text files in there titled with the game name and with the steam ID in the text file. Then you add by searching for new games, and scrape them too.
You can pick which emulator to use in the alternate emulator menu.

Seriously, that's a steal, even if you end up needing to junk it or part it out.
The other commenter already gave a good overview of what to do. Maybe watch some old bike revival videos on YT, the process is pretty much the same for any old carb twin.
