I was only there because the father is my partner's best friend from college and I figured they both needed the moral support. His family is Jewish and very observant so it's SOP for them, but I'm not so I'm squeamish as hell about it. FWIW if we ever have a son I'm leaving his junk the hell alone.

In other news, went to the Central FL Highland Games today with my family, it was pretty fun. Had haggis for the first time, I think i'm a believer; not too bad at all. Didn't get to sit for the whisky tasting like I wanted to, though; sisters and mom had obligations so we had to leave early. Probably go again next year.

meltie posted:Oh my God. Tell me more Heavy as all gently caress (for a bike), but you can tip it into a corner at just about any speed you can get it up to. Rolls over drat near anything. Comfy. Really handles surprisingly well. Also you can get major air time and it's "Yeah? And?". The looser the surface, the better it goes. An absolute riot to ride and I had a huge poo poo eating grin. It seems like it should be slow but it isnt. It looks like it should be horrible to turn but that DEFINATLY is not the case. Those huge tyres also give it grip levels no MTB can match, so not only will it rip into a sweeping bank as hard or harder than a racing MTB, it will simply outstop anything on gravel. It's very much a love hate thing, at the test day I was at a few riders handed it back hating it, but the lineup got huge as more riders came back raving about how ridiculously good a fat bike is. Also really doesn't need suspension, the tyres do all the work anyway and I locked it out. I wouldn't trade one in as a main MTB, it's simply too heavy and it's not as agile as a smaller bike. But I would see one as a perfect N+1.

I was less than thrilled when I rode one last summer. Going to try one in the snow at some point soon though. Basically I was expecting to have a little better grip but it could have been those tires and the pressures I had in them (although I ended up too low). Also things get out of control in a hurry when you pick up some decent speed. All that rotational weight means you are pretty much just along for the ride.

On the newest episode of cops there was some dude called the cops because someone stole his car and crashed it. he was going on about how the dude who stole his car crashed it must have crashed it because it pulls to the right on full throttle because it's turbo charged. and going on about how amazing and powerful and turbocharged it is. and how not just anybody could drive it because it's so powerful and turbocharged. it's a saab 9-3. he left it neutral and it rolled down thie hill and hit a parked car.

Soooooooooooooo I have a new job in the same factory I got let go from. I now work in the manufacturing part. I work on the Ford F-250/F-350 frame line. I get paid well, but drat; I'm pulling 12 hour shifts 7 days a week; hence my lack of posting on here anymore. I had to take today off though since I hosed up my arm and now it's been going numb from the shoulder down. I think I may have pinched a nerve. If anyone is interested, I'll take some pictures of where I work (I'll have to do it covertly) and show you all how we assemble and build frames for both the Ford F-150 and the F-250/F-350 and their variants from beginning to end!

Well I'm broke now. The loving excess fees for making a claim when you're an 18 year old driver are insane. I'm an idiot and I pulled out of a park without looking and t-boned one of my classmates (well, I hit the front so not a perfect t-bone). His corner panels and bumper are hosed now. Thought it would be all good because of my liability insurance but nope, $600 base fee plus $700 for being under 19.

So a few months ago I had the power steering recall done. Prior to that, it would occasionally blow the fuse for the power steering. Started the car today. Car immediately dings and shows the power steering message. Turn it off, start it again, same thing. gently caress. Got about a mile from work and heard a loud click from somewhere in the dash (some kind of relay). Message went away, power steering said "oh hey I'll take it from here" while going through a turn (which lead to an "ohshit" moment, since it took a moment for me to react to the assist returning - long enough that I cut the turn a lot harder than I meant to and kissed the curb), and it's been working fine ever since.  Tomorrow I'm going to record the cold-start and see if the message pops up on the dash again. If it does, I'll get it back to the odometer, then go to the dealer and tell them it can be reproduced by letting it sit overnight. Already filed a complaint with GM, since the recall obviously didn't fix something. You'd think it would just lock out power to the PS assist motor once it's detected a failure though, instead of letting it come back on its own.

Most of the major entertainment TV networks (both OTA and cable-only) allow you to do this, if your cable provider has tied their login authentication into their streaming services (the big ones all have; you need the cable account login info for the first time). I have the Fox app on my Roku strictly for watching The Simpsons. Your cable company may have an app that lets you stream stuff like CNN, Fox News, etc to your phone as well (live). Verizon lets me stream something like 30 channels or so to my phone. iForge posted:I'm kinda bad at this game.

People who think it's A-ok to cut of part off their child's penis for no reason are barbaric monsters, and need to be stopped. The majority of my friends have kids, and they occasionally bring it up. Almost all of these friends claim to be circumcised (one of them is a bi ex-bf, so I'm.. quite familiar with his circumcision) - and pretty much all of them claim that the kid's hot dog is still in the bun. it was, and AFAIK, up until very recently, still very common in the US (and doctors as a whole in the US are only now starting to change their stance on it - the American Association of Pediatrics has only somewhat recently started suggesting it only if it's medically necessary, instead of all the time). Mom recently told me they had to get me snipped twice. I don't want to know what the gently caress lead to that (or why she felt the need to tell me). At least the second go round appears to have been done properly (I mean, I've seen my share of dicks, it looks like nearly every other snipped dong). meatpimp posted:That's a bit strong... it's not like there was anything other than full societal acceptability of the practice when you were born...

I've never had any issues either, aside from the common issue with being a bit desensitized. I switched to boxers from briefs in my teens, and that pretty much got rid of the issue. It's common enough in the US that I've only been with two guys that were uncut - and both had parents from countries where circumcision isn't common. Cat Terrist posted:Hung over catte Catte chat: The Dude hauled rear end and successfully escaped into the back yard tonight when I was bringing the dog in. Then stopped dead in his tracks once he realized "... gently caress, I'm outside", and tried to make a beeline for the shrubs. I felt like a drat football quarterback trying to intercept him every time he'd try to run for somewhere else to hide, then felt like a sheep herder trying to get him back toward the back door (which has a self-closing glass door, so when he'd get to it, he'd realize it was closed and take off in another direction). Thankfully we have an 8 foot tall wood fence, and no gaps large enough for a cat to fit through, so he would have likely (hopefully) remained in the yard. But there's poo poo for lighting in the actual yard, and I didn't want to play the "find the hiding cat with the flashlight or water hose while trying to avoid stepping in dog poo poo" bit. krampster2 posted:Well I'm broke now. The loving excess fees for making a claim when you're an 18 year old driver are insane. Wait, you're having to pay a deductible for the damage to their car?  Or is that for the damage to your car? Either way, that's loving nuts. When I hit someone several years ago, I didn't have to pay anything for the damage to the other person's car (insurance covered it), but I had to pay my $500 deductible to get my car fixed. Then got rear end raped on my rates the next time my policy renewed. Speaking of, my policy with USAA is up for renewal, so I figured I'd shop Amica again (my last insurance company). They want almost $350/month for the same coverage I have with USAA (which is $103/month). I used to pay $90/month when I was with them before, for almost the same coverage (only difference being I didn't have rental coverage with them).  And adding my mom to the policy brought it to over $400/month, whereas with USAA, having her on it knocks $30/month off.The Royal Nonesuch posted:A recent windstorm knocked down a bunch of cactus in my backyard - I planted it years ago and it grew too high too fast, and was smashed down by a nearbye tree branch.

Just looks a bit ugly because the bumper is detached from the corner panel a bit with some scratching around the edge. If the cost of getting his car fixed is less than the deductible payment though I won't go through insurance. Never heard of a panel beater charging less than $1300 to bang a front end back into shape though.

That's the problem I'm having, I applied in person early Nov (after spending all my savings on food and rent), I was knocked back at the office branch, told to do it online instead. I was pretty confused because how the hell can you show an original of your licence/passport or other ID online? Half the time I tried to use the centrelink site it was down. And in Dec my application was knocked back for not being completed. I did manage to get some stuff uploaded once like medical certificate, bank account etc. Try to call them for help and it's either just an engaged signal or over 1 hr wait. Anyway, I went back to a centrelink branch office again late Dec and they didn't do much else but book me in for a phone call appointment!? Apparently I passed that and got two payments from them only, now my payments are terminated due to lack of paperwork/ID stuff. Both times I went in person (the best/quickest way to hand over originals and paperwork), and they either won't be interested, ie turn you away and say to do it online, or they do take copies - like when I went there the second time and I was insistent-, but doesn't reach the office of the people likely to cancel your payments anyway.

So my mother got pulled over yesterday. For speeding... 42 mph in a 40.  She tends to go under the speed limit, and 2 mph is within the accepted range of error for even laser.The cops had her out of the car and frisked her (I should remind you she has handicapped plates and needs a cane) demanding to know why she didn't have a current insurance card. Hers expired a month ago, stepdad never handed her a new one. The catch is Texas cops can look up your current insurance status in about 10 seconds; I paid for her car registration online last week, and to verify insurance, you either upload a scanned/picture copy of your insurance card, or if it's in the state database, you just get an "Insurance verified" message. I got the insurance verified message, the car has brand loving new plates on it (2 days old), and a brand new registration sticker. The cop was in her face ripping her a new rear end in a top hat saying he could take her to jail for not having proof of insurance (not true on a first offense) and impound the car (true) and sell the car immediately (not true unless it's abandoned or tied to felonies). She was in tears when she called me about it. How the gently caress did she get a brand new registration and plates without insurance? Did I mention she's closer to 70 than 60? I just wish she'd gotten something in writing, so I could identify the cop, but I fully intend to file a complaint with the police department about it (neighboring city, not our home city, but that intersection divides the cities). She was smart enough to start the voice recorder on her phone when she got pulled over, so there's (poor) audio of the whole incident. She was nothing but polite to him, while he was a complete and utter rear end in a top hat. I've been pulled over in that city a couple of times, but it's been 15 years since my last ticket there, and the cops were ... human. I was polite, they relaxed a bit and thanked me for being polite. This guy was a full on rear end in a top hat to someone 3 times his age, someone that's had double hip replacements and is still recovering. From what she told me, the cop was actually out of his jurisdiction when he flipped on the lights too - he flipped on the lights in the middle of an intersection, when their jurisdiction ends at the crosswalk (it's part of my delivery area, I'm very familiar with it, and know plenty of cops in both cities). e: VVV what the gently caress? good that it's easier to drag a nearly 70 year old who can barely walk out of their car? randomidiot fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Jan 19, 2015 |
