    Bicycling

    I have no idea what pressure my tires are at. I pump them until they feel fairly hard. That came out wrong. But seriously, it wasn't actually that cold. That was 2/3 up the mountain, lower down there wasn't any snow and the daytime temp was around 10-15C, so I dunno, 50-60F I guess...

    lol, yeah, that's the same with any "extreme" sport, whether skiing or mountain biking or whatever. I always get all pumped thinking that finally, I caught something pretty sweet on my GoPro, and then when I get around to watching it I'm like "what the fuck, that shit looked gay!" I was in...

    Woman who was getting her box munched on in public now claiming rape

    The harassment extended a lot further than just the two guys who took and sent the pic out. Again, dozens of people taunted her mercilessly long after the incident, to the point that she attempted suicide multiple times. Finally she got close enough when she hung herself that the family pulled...

    That's pretty much exactly what happened. I remember reading an article about the whole debacle a year ago, and the first CEO was pushed out the door and replaced with that chick who had little or no experience as a chief executive, and who was on maternity leave when the company went tits up...

    Woman who was getting her box munched on in public now claiming rape

    Most of that probably has to do with outright ignorance of the facts of the case, and people confusing the initial incident itself (which may or may not have been consensual, depending on who you believe) with the distribution of child pornography and/or the rampant bullying that followed and...

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    I feel your pain bro. Most people just don't get that aspect of owning your own business. There's many upsides to it, especially if you do well at it, but there's lots of tradeoffs as well. I admire your situation, it takes balls to start over. I'd love to be able to take some time and figure...

    Probably never. Katz was an ass kissing, midget, soon to be billionaire goofball in the 80's trying to catch a bit of the glory of the dynasty years hanging out with Gretzky et al. So the chances of him cleaning out Lowe and company aren't too high. How in the fuck Lowe still has a job is beyond...

    Girlfriend wants to move in, how much should she pay?

    Because many people are saying "half the mortgage", not "half the fair market rental value for an equivalent space." The two are not the same thing. It's not flip flopping at all. Again, "half the mortgage" is not fair or equitable if she isn't getting half of the equity, and "half of nothing"...

    The Fast Food Thread

    For me it's a matter of convenience. Living in an urban area in an otherwise suburban city, most smaller places won't deliver to my condo, make me go down to the front door, or will take a fucking hour to do it. Pizza hut is at my place in 20 minutes flat, and they never bitch about delivering...

    Leasing a car

    Dude, most people are fucking pigs and treat their cars accordingly. I'm not surprised that a lot of people get dinged for damaged vehicles at the end of leases.

    Have any of you seen the new $100 USD yet?

    Yeah, that's my deal. All the bills in my wallet are already in order of denomination, so I don't need size to help me find the right one. And I found that in NZ and Europe with the different sized bills it just made my wallet and/or billfold to be a fucking mess.

    Beginner/casual golf clubs?

    Yeah, I had one buddy that I took for a round at the private course I play at, and he got a little indignant as well when I pointed shit out to him. Thing was, he'd specifically said "hey man, let's go golfing more this summer, I need to start getting better because I'm being asked to do it for...

    Girlfriend wants to move in, how much should she pay?

    That's a negotiated, arms length lease you have with your tenants. You're charging them rent, you're not charging them a portion of your mortgage. If your mortgage skyrockets or nosedives because of a big change in interest rates, it's not like you are directly applying the difference to their...

    Girlfriend wants to move in, how much should she pay?

    I think the consensus is "half of everything" is fair, barring extenuating circumstances like wide income disparities. I however still don't agree that paying half the mortgage is "fair", unless the girlfriend will get her share of the equity that she paid for out in the event of a breakup...

    Have any of you seen the new $100 USD yet?

    I dunno how much I like the new plastic bills. The security features, graphics, and all that shit is cool. But the material itself, I just don't know. The bills stick together like crazy, and you can't give them a good crease like you can with paper. I would imagine they'll last a lot longer...

    I guess it's all about how he handled it, but quite honestly that's one of the most basic elements of etiquette in the sport. He shouldn't have raged about it if he did, but I get pissed when people do that too. Not because it's really going to make a difference in me missing that 10 foot putt...

    C'mon man, I've read Without Remorse 3 or 4 times, although it's been awhile since the last time. Willem Dafoe is a touch under 6 feet tall, as far as a quick Google tells me. I don't recall, was there a specific mention of Clark being huge or something? He was most likely somewhere around 6'...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    Again, whether the numbers were off by 10-20% is irrelevant. The fact is that the game would have cost something like 30-50 million to complete, if it indeed could even be completed within a year, which is in itself questionable as fuck. Which would still have it pegged as having cost somewhere...

    I know you're joking about the Canadian thing, but in my opinion a lot of business owners are too fixated on top line revenues, and not necessarily bottom line profits. Again, I'd rather do half the work for twice the margin than vice versa. Obviously it's never that simple. But expanding to...

    Scarlett Johansson Named ?Sexiest Woman Alive? for the second time!

    Yeah, one thing that occurred to me is that it says "sexy", so it's not just about physical attractiveness necessarily, personality and the like can come in to play. And in that case, Portman and Kunis definitely jump up quite a bit, although SJ seems like a cool chick as well.
