    What vehicle do you drive?

    Went on a bike trip, borrowed my dad's truck/trailer to haul the bikes own, left my car with dad (2010 535xi Touring), he somehow managed to hit a pothole hard enough to crack one of the rims in two places and wreck the tire, in the process of getting that fixed he lost the key for the car that...

    That's 2-3 years away. I'm curious what happens in the meantime for ISS crews.

    Scottish Independence

    This Scottish independence thing has so many parallels to the sovereigntist movement in Quebec in the 90's (and the 70's before it), that it's kind of amusing. Sovereigntists: "HAY GUYS! Just vote for independence and everything will stay the same, but more awesome! You can keep the same...

    The attack of the Red White and Blue in our very own homes.

    Yeah, blue LED's weren't even possible until 93/94 apparently. Hence why in the late 90's and early 00's all of the sudden EVERYTHING had blue LED's on it, there was a novelty factor. Everyone had seen red/green for decades, blue was NEW. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia, the free...

    The Wine Thread

    I have a friend who is a wino, I'm not, and he swears by Apothic's red. Like it's not his favorite wine or anything, but it's cheap but surprisingly good.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Yeah, the Coffee Crisp ones fuck me right up. I occasionally make the mistake of picking up a bag while on a road trip, and then proceed to eat pretty much the entire thing over the next hour or two. No idea they had Snickers though. Fuck you for bringing that to my attention.

    More or less agreed. And points for not pulling out the "everything sucks compared to copper" thing that many old school guys still hang their hats on. Copper is a terrible material in a lot of ways, primarily due to expense of both the material and installation, and the fact that copper is...

    What do you do to dull the pain from the subsequent nut shot? But yes, agreed with all the other bros that learning to sit there for the 10-20 minutes it takes for them to vent about work, and asking a few questions like you actually give a shit, is pretty important to a relationship. And...

    Mouse pads

    That at home. At work I picked up a Roccat Taito 3mm, in mini-size. I didn't really give a shit about the brand or model, it just happened to be the right size and the one I grabbed off the shelf at the computer store.

    Tablets

    9" sounds intriguing to me. I've found my Nexus 10 a bit too big and heavy, but I don't read comics on it. But a 7" is too small. Something in the 8-9" range is probably my sweet spot. My Nexus 10 still looks brand new, but it periodically runs like absolute dog shit. Not sure why. It got so bad...

    Cross posting this from my thread in the travel section, cause I'm lazy like that: We ended up trailering the bikes straight to Yakima, then took the 12 and 131 by Mt St Helens (holy fuck that road was fun!), missed the turn to Portland, ended up in Longview, said fuck it and continued on to...

    Pacific Coast Highway - September

    Thanks for the offer, but I don't think we went by there. Not overly close anyways.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I think that's actually kind of a misconception about Porsches. At least 911's up to the 993 (1998). Their interiors were spartan as fuck. Not cheap, per se, but just completely bare bones. Granted, that's a 15-20 year old car at this point, but I don't see it being any fancier than a...

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    I was -2.5 in each eye, it was about 4 grand in total. No extra charges for drugs, check-ups, etc and it was fully warrantied for life. So yeah, that seems to be the going rate for a good surgeon. The ads you here about $499 per eye don't include shit.

    Personally, I quite like the credit card roulette when you've got a huge bill to split between 8 dudes on a guys trip or something. Hilarity always ensues. Unless you card comes up.

    heh, that's such a retarded mentality. I was always brought up to keep my mouth shut about money and fancy things. My dad doesn't even like people knowing he has a Ferrari, and basically only drives it after trailering it somewhere else.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Some can get wealthy in spite of how much they spend on other people, though. It's all a matter of scale. I make pretty good coin when the economy is rolling, I wouldn't say I'm a nickel and dimer, and I'm still socking away a lot of money. I'll pick up rounds of drinks, pay for my friends...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    He's fucking with you Soy! I dunno, that interior looks pretty mediocre still. The dash is identical to the rest of the Chev/GM line, or at least the Yukon I just ordered. But again, given how inexpensive Vettes are vs. other cars with comparable performance, I'm not sure if that's a valid...

    Joan Rivers R.I.P

    Was it surgery for cosmetic purposes though? I thought it was for her vocal cords or something. Maybe she couldn't talk anymore or some shit, I dunno. But yeah, my first reaction was basically "that dumb bitch is gonna die because she just had to have one more facelift, how ironic."

    My building is right in the middle of downtown, with 4 guest spots that are patrolled militantly by a couple designees in the building. If you don't sign in, you get towed. If you park there more than 3 times a week, you get towed. They keep track of plates and post a warning the first time, but...

    Dude, where is my hair?

    Good fucking god, why? Balding or not, that shit is just terrible. If you're some Italian super model looking guy then I can see having shoulder length hair (BUT NEVER IN A PONY TAIL), but otherwise dudes should simply not have long air unless they're in a metal band. And in any case, NEVER IN A...

    used or new car

    If you're on any sort of a budget, then used is probably the way to go. In my life I've had 5 cars, and only one of them was new. It was awesome being able to pick all the options etc and get exactly what you want. But it was not awesome selling it 5 years later for only about 40% of what it was...

    No. Wish I was. The mechanical systems in the building are a fucking farce. The mechanical consultant who designed it has long since been out of business, but unfortunately there's about 20-30 projects sprinkled around Alberta with his shit in them. Service guys love him, though. As far as...

    Soriak recently schooled someone on rent control. I believe it was earthfell.

    Yeah, as you can see there's already conduit running exposed in the area. I was just going to have them add a dimmer switch and a bit of conduit on the right hand side on the wall near that big iron corner plate, and then the 24v wiring can just be fished behind/through the various shelving...
