Goddamn that picture is awful. And awesome.

Like I said, I did get the second set for $300/tire, which is pretty reasonable (performance and ride quality issues aside).

How is the "user experience" any different than a subway?

It's a shitty FPS, IMO. It has none of the non-linearity that made Far Cry and Crysis such good games. It's more like a Call of Duty game than a Crytek game. Beautiful graphics and extremely cinematic, sure. But there's quite honestly maybe 4 different enemy types in the whole game and the AI is...

Right, because everyone was used to looking out an airplane window at 35,000 feet prior to the advent of jet travel. I'm not really getting your point here. It's different, sure. But that's kind of the point. Cost aside it seems like a great idea, but cost is what's going to make or break it...

You mean like a bivy sack? Fuck that, shit's uncomfortable!

Crysis 2 is a terrible game, so don't get too hot and bothered for it.

No moose on Vancouver Island!

Very punny! No import tax, it was just the straight cost plus GST and handling. And yes it's an expensive tent, no question. But I'll get a lot of use out of it, and I'm willing to pay extra to lighten my pack by 2-3 pounds over the nearly identical 5 year old North Face one I have that weighs...

heh, I guess so! I dunno, I never put much thought in to it, I just went ahead and put the same tires back on that came with the car when the OEMs wore out last year. Seems like a good idea to me given that I don't have a spare, and there is no room for one. Then again, my winters aren't run...

See for yourself:http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....port%20Package The good thing is, is that I'm only on my second set of summers (plus the one egged tire). And the second set I found through the BMW club, who sold me his brand new set for $1,200 off his car, as he was only going to be...

Interesting, I would have thought that carbon while being stronger structurally, would have had concerns regarding impacts causing fractures more easily that could fatigue over time.

Michelin Pilot Sport runflats. As always us Canadians get fucked on prices since there isn't really any online option and tire shops are thieves. I could get them for about $1,500 from Tirerack.com by the looks of it including shipping, but by the time I pay for installation I'd be barely ahead...

Yeah, I had the mouse issues with VC and got it working by disabling some of the HID's in the device manager. I've done a fair amount of googling and tweaking based on that, and haven't had much luck. It's kind of bullshit that Steam sells games that flat out don't fucking work.

I would say that most DH rigs weigh 40+ lbs. Ones intended for Whistler-style riding anyways. Free ride bikes would be lighter, but they're not nearly as beefy. And I would think carbon would make a shitty DH frame material if only because weight isn't a primary concern and they're fragile as...

Anyone have any tips on getting San Andreas to work with Steam/Win7? I am having zero luck, it won't even load. Seems to run just ducky on my WinXP box at work, so maybe I'll just grab a spare HD and fire up a copy of XP for my home box for the purpose. As far as GTA4 goes, it was actually...

Shit son, where you been?

I provided a citation. Like it said, approximately 90% of the planet killers (1+ km) in NEO have been found. Less than half of the objects 100m-1000m have been found, however most of those objects are at the smaller end of the scale. A 150m asteroid has an impact energy of about 70 MT, which is...

Yeah man, at $500 a tire no fucking thanks!

Interesting Wiki on this type of shit:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risks_t...d_planet_Earth Looks like all of the most likely stuff is man made, although you can argue about how likely any of those things are.

Oort objects would be seen coming for months, I would imagine, if not years. Something coming from that far out can't continually be coming "from the sun" because the Earth's position is constantly changing in the solar system. That's why they worry about NEOs, because those can get us in very...

It would appear that aluminum is normal, or least that's what Norco, Giant and Specialized use for their DH frames. I never really gave it much thought. Why would it be weird? I would imagine that aluminum strikes a balance between strength, weight and cost that steel or titanium wouldn't. Steel...

The objects large enough to fuck us up that badly and that could hit us on fairly short notice are 90% found already, I thought? Yes for smaller ones the size of the one that hit Russia awhile back it's going to take awhile to get them all cataloged, but the big planet killers are nearly all...

Shit dude, the forehead kisses have been going on strong pretty much since the start. haha, she wasn't that drunk.

Your hopes will be dashed. I mean fuck, I was just at a Future Shop (Best Buy) the other day and I'm not even exaggerating when I say that the Sims section of their PC game aisle was about a third of the entire fucking thing. SimCity is gone guys. It's time to let it go.

Tarrant. Just kidding!

I voted "other" because there was no "shit will just keep on trucking with the occasional fuck-up or moderate calamity" option. Or was the intent for us to vote how we'd LIKE to see the world end? In that case, asteroid, because we'll see that shit coming weeks or even years in advance, and it...

She got hammered at the wedding ceremony, I was mostly sober as I was driving back to the hotel, she started sucking my dick before we had even left the parking lot, I drove through downtown Kelowna with her head in my lap ("I don't care, we don't know anyone here!" except for you know all your...

It's 5+ years old I think, they don't even make the A-Line's anymore. No idea on the frame material. The guy while he was lying there and I was cradling his head/neck (precautionary on advice of the bike patrol dude) mentioned that there was a recall on the bike for that problem. The patrol took...

I went downhill mountain biking at a resort called Silverstar last weekend. It's much smaller than Whistler, but it's got some pretty good shit. One run called Rockstar has about half a dozen pretty decent sized table tops towards the bottom. It was our third run of the day through there, and...

I'd have to say that's one of my favorite things about my special lady friend. When that conversation happens, she actually makes decisions! What a novel concept! Sometimes I might have to throw up some options for her to choose from, but most times she'll actually decide on her own where to go...

So whatever the fuck changes Google made to Gmail recently just about melted my Nexus 4 yesterday. The lock screen for my phone had the Gmail widget on it, and for whatever reason it was absolutely pinning my phone's CPU trying to update or some shit (the widget on the lock screen kept asking...

Large commercial show rooms, open concept offices and so on. But yeah, they're expensive as fuck. Some of them are 10-20k. But they can be a great showpiece, instead of having half a dozen cheap piece of shit white 5' circulator fans. We're doing a new Kenworth dealership and they're going with...

I have no problem with the gays. But I want to slap the SSSSUPER out of that silly little faggot.

What's up with the English and how they always say "maths" anyways? "Oh yes, he did quite well on his maths testing. Maths is his best subject." THAT SHIT ISN'T PLURAL, WANKERS. DO YOU LEARN GEOGRAPHIES?

Like I said, this entire thing is one big, retarded misunderstanding. Unlikely anyone was trying to scam anyone else. Everyone involved is just a fucking moron.

I just don't under stand why Onoes didn't write up a quick bill of sale. That would make all this shit irrelevant. I mean seriously. I know he's admitted to being an idiot and knowing he fucked up, but I just can't fucking imagine handing someone 9k in cash and being all like "well get me the...

Honestly, I doubt that the idiot girl and her boyfriend set out to scam him. It's probably some sort of fucked up misunderstanding that spiraled out of control. Scum bags like them are very adept at imagining the whole world being out to get them (hence why their lives are shit, right!? It's not...

haha actually the logic in owning a "chick car" is fairly flawless. Why own a car that dudes will think is awesome, like an old muscle car or something? Driving something that a chick thinks is cool, while not being totally effeminate is probably the way to go.

Yeah, I'm sure they make a fun little track car, like a Miata!
