Is that the same dude that did all the radio bits in Prey? Never actually listened to him other than in that game. But those bits were pretty entertaining.

Don't forget to wear racing gloves when you use it.

I use Quicken for my all of my personal finance stuff. It's pretty good on budgeting, expenses and the like, but the investment performance reports leave something to be desired. No way to compare to benchmarks and the like, as far as I can tell. It does do a decent job of giving me a lifetime...

I am so hot right now.

Yeah, I dunno, the article isn't entirely clear.

Here's some more info on the speed controls and limited automation on that particular line:http://www.newscientist.com/article/...l#.UfqmKqzKHVY

C'mon now, you've done the same in past threads on FOH!

Yeah, TSW Crofts. I'm pretty sure in hindsight now that they probably did come with the hubcentric rings, but at some point one of the tire shops swapping the summers/winters misplaced them or something. Regardless, it's all good now. I was just surprised that the couple tire shops I asked to...

Bullshit. My bank does just fine on service charging me to death for fucking everything.

Fair enough, I just thought it was a funny mistake to make when defending your honor. I would also dispute though, that your Honda would be "hanging" with Mustangs (or that hanging with a V6 Mustang was anything to be too proud of). The difference between 12 and 14 lbs per HP is pretty...

Because they're a bank. It's just what they do. We hadn't touched our line of credit in years and all of the sudden a couple years ago the bank started asking for a bunch more paperwork and documentation to maintain it. The banker that serves us was apologetic about it, but some faceless...

lol, I'm not trying to give you shit here Brad, but you don't seem to understand power to weight ratio either. You have shit backwards. Although actually on further inspection maybe not, you do seem to realize that your car has a slightly worse power to weight ratio. Regardless, your car does...

Point out a single person who has claimed that.

A: They're larger. Q: What is your preferred ethnicity for women?

Yeah I dunno, I never paid attention to any of the EQ threads that Kegz was spamming. I just was kind of tangentially aware of it. And the avatar of the black guy laughing just seemed like an avatar that Kegkilla would use. Not really giving a shit, I just made the assumption that the two were...

2009 335xi with Dinan ECU reprogramming, oil cooler, intercooler, and exhaust.

Throw in some Reactine and you're good to go.

Why is the discussion centering around $15/hour anyways? Just because it's a neat rough doubling of the current one? Up here in Soviet Canuckistan it sits at around $10/hr in most provinces, and seems to work fine. Besides, aren't there states and cities with minimum wages that approach...

Seriously? I just assumed that Kegz was Kegkilla.

That sucks. We just canceled all of our company phones and moved to instead reimbursing everyone who had one previously $70/month to cover work usage. In reality I doubt that for most guys the work usage is more than even a couple dozen bucks a month, all they'll have to do is bump their already...

Yeah, I did some fiddling with numbers, using the oil industry as a comparison. A century of oil production at today's current rate is equivalent in weight to something like one hundred billionths of the moon's mass. So even if asteroid mining ends up being several orders of magnitude larger...

I'm kind of curious to try it now. I had assumed it was quite seamless.

I meant the system as a whole. Everything from slow local transit to high speed transcontinental passenger trains to freight run on the same lines. It's not "simple" to automate that entire system. I'm sure this incident will be a big motivator to do more in that regard, certainly.

Absolutely true. But do you think that James Watt could conceive of humanity producing and consuming 80+ million barrels of oil a day, to say nothing of coal or gas? Who knows where things will be in 250 years. I'm not talking about one asteroid, I'm talking about the cumulative effects of...

Yeah, I'm aware of all that. I'm just saying that in a couple hundred years, we could well be bringing enough mass in to orbit around the Earth (or rather in to the Earth/Moon system) that it could cause issues. It's not going to be something that's an issue any time soon, but it's conceivable...

The general rule for internet arguments is that when you tell someone to off themselves, regardless of the details of the argument, you lose. Sorry Denaut

heh, one of the things I wonder about extensive space based resource extraction is at what scale do we have to seriously start worrying about orbital mechanics and the like? Our fossil fuel usage initially wasn't enough to cause any big problems with the Earth's atmosphere until shit went...

Italy's got you covered bro:http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2...bus-crash.html An article I read indicated that in Spain when the train was traveling on high-speed only tracks it would be largely automated. But on the lower speed, mixed tracks where other slower passenger trains and cargo...

Toilets don't have a p-trap. The have an S-trap to create/break the siphon.

The first ULF (1.6 gallons per flush) toilets sucked, no question. But the current ULF's work great, and if anything some of the newest HET (1.28 gallons per flush) toilets flush even better while using less water. It's not really about how much water they use, it's how well designed they are...

Bro, don't do it. Cheesecake is scientifically proven to be disgusting. Carl Sagan said so.

I agree on the sound, no question. But really, a lot of "purists" were pissed that the M3 went to a V8 in the first place with the E90 series. Not to mention, the E90 coupe was supposed to be called an M4 as well, but BMW changed it's mind before it was released. Like I said, the number change...

As always I was mostly kidding. But a lot of Somalians are involved in the drug trade in most of Canada's major cities, and they tend to get a little murdery. Something like a quarter or a third of the murder victims in Edmonton in the past 5 years have been Somalians, and they can't be much...

edit response to avoid thread break: tequila, without a doubt. I'd have sacked up and finished engineering, instead of dropping out and going in to the family business. No idea what the repercussions would have been. I'd probably have made a lot less money. What historical event would you...

Exception: Somalians in Canada.

What difference does it make what it's called? It's the same car. BMW has been talking about separating the 3 series coupes in to a 4 series for a decade or more. No different than the 5/6 series. As far as the engine change goes, that's not really surprising, it's all about getting better fuel...

Again, it's all dependent on viewing distance as well as screen size. And really it comes down to math. The eye can only perceive so much detail at a given distance.

haha. I was just being a smart ass. Sublimating is ice going straight to vapor (happens with ice cubes in your freezer). Water can't sublimate, since it's liquid. Phazael was being all Mr. Science about the movie, so I figured I'd be a smart ass and point out his improper terminology.
