It's actually genius despite how specific it is to your location. It's great to post anonymously but it wouldn't mean anything if it were posted to everyone in the world. They limit it to ~1.5 miles from your location AFAIK so that when you make a post there's some semblance of a chance that readers will understand what the gently caress you're talking about.

So I could post to nobody 99% of the time. Sounds great. Sort of like g+

Kind of reminds me of that Nintendo 3DS streetpass bullshit. It might work well in an urban area in Japan but probably nowhere else. That sort of functionality doesn't really interest me but out of curiosity a while back I'd take my 3DS with me and keep it asleep in my pocket when I was in a population centre. I think I pinged two, maybe three people in quite a few days. I know it's only Wi-fi range but still, crowded shopping centres etc.
Unless something artificially boosts awareness and desirability to use a localized service, usage rates are probably going to be very low.

My relatives are selling the '92 Custom Cruiser they bought new from my grandpa, who was an Olds dealer. It has a great history, low miles (115K) and a ton of sentimental value, but it's also the size of a Suburban and there's no way it would fit in my garage.

I want it badly, but it's completely impractical in every imaginable way. :smith:

I still can't get over ~100k miles for a 10+ year old beast is "low miles". Try talking to an octogenarian 'merkin metal owner, and you'll find that 100k is at least 60k, if not 80k over its' "trade in date".

'92 puts it at more like 20+ year old beast, which is pretty low compared to other 22 year old cars.

I was at an air show yesterday. Got horribly sunburned, and now today I've got like... deep muscle aches in my arms (which got the worst of it). I also slept for like 14 hours.

Either way, you're hosed. Get some straitch and try to not kill yourself while bathing in aloe.

What you really, really want for a sunburn is Solarcaine spray with aloe. Thanks to the lidocaine in it, it's the best thing I've ever used for a sunburn.

Melbourne, actually. First annual airshow at the international airport (which was still active; they stopped the show periodically to let a smattering of commercial flights land/take off). Thunderbirds performed, and there were some other great aerobatic acts, but the static displays were... well, Grumman was the main sponsor, what awesome new poo poo do they really have aside from the Global Hawk? Miramar looks like it had better poo poo, but that's another few hours away on top of the ~70 minutes each way I already drove. Still, had a good time with my dad.

Anyway I've felt drained as gently caress all day, even with aloe application. I should probably get some more sleep at this point.

Because the people here are far more sane than e/n people....

Is it normal to not hate an ex but still think they are a lovely person? I don't sit around and bad mouth my ex all day every day. Nor do i bring it up in conversation. But I don't care for her either and still think she's a bitch.

Is that normal or am I a poo poo person? Its just a thought I was rolling around in my head.

Edit: I should say that I do forgive them for the most part. Still mad she made off with a few of my favorite t shirts (they were pretty stained up college shirts). I do pity her to a point that her mom rules her life.... But meh. I guess its just a thought I have had in my head. More or less a get off the chest and see what others thought.

One day I will live in a country where it makes sense for me to own a car. I do own two motorcycles though, do they count? Neither of them are within 6 time zones of me though.

if you bolt the motorcycles together, they will have four wheels and thus be a car.

Can't tell you whether it's normal, but I still don't care much for an ex of mine that cheated on me. Initially I was torn between hating her guts and wanting back what we had so very badly, but these days I'm just really happy she's out of my life. Last time we communicated was when she gave me her once-per-quarter phone call. I was doing great, hanging out with friends, shopping for dinner, and aside from being in a rush I was in a really great mood and I didn't want to let her ruin it, so I kinda cut her off. A few hours later I got a sobbing text saying that if I didn't want her to call could I please let her know and she just wanted to be friends and blah blah. I sent the best email of my life later that night, stating in eight words that I'd prefer if she didn't contact me and that I'd let her know when it was OK to do so again. We haven't communicated since 2008.

It's weird, though, that the people you love the most can end up being the people you despise the most. I wouldn't say I hate her, but I will say that I'd be perfectly happy if I never have to interact with her again ever.

I don't hate any of my exes, hell I still send the odd email to the one that cheated on me because the times before the relationship falls apart were fun and I don't want to regret them.

Spend 5 minutes in IYG, and you'll be quickly dissuaded from the Samsung. I'm largely pleased with my s4, but am ready to try something non-touchwiz. The G3 was near the top of my list, the m8 is pretty comparable as I recall, but camera is garbage.

Really, the general consensus is you can't REALLY go wrong with any of the flagship phones (m8, g3, etc), they just have different areas of compromise, so see which one best fits you.

M8 owner here. Love it. Great phone, fast, no issues so far (had it since release.) Camera is lower megapixel than most, but takes great photos in my opinion, and holy poo poo is it fast to take them. HTC seems to avoid too much of their own poo poo on it, and what they have is fairly tame. I got the Dotview case because I'm a giant nerd, and its pretty cool, but I should have just got an otterbox. Overall, very happy, would buy again.

The wife got an S5, which has also been good. She doesn't care as much about the crap Samsung put on it, so she's happy, but it would make me a little annoyed (samsungs browser, samsungs email, etc.). Its all easy to replace with the Google stuff, but damnit, its Android, it should be Googly by default.
