Saw Mad Max today too. It definitely needs more supercharger whine. And maybe I'm just half-deaf but I wish the theater I saw it in had cranked the volume knob another 50% higher.

nm posted:This is why you NEVER loving talk to the cops. I never did drugs so the only thing I ever got hassled for was hanging out in parking lots with my car and the only thing cops did was pull me over  They have massive egos and the more you "respect" them the faster they gtfo Again, ime. Also Aussie cops are quite different except nazis about speeding so idk

Never talk to cops without a lawyer, especially if you are even remotely interesting as a suspect for...well...anything

Protip: Not all cops are dicks, some are pretty chill even. Your experiences may differ based on area / personality of the particular officer but i've had nothing but positive experiences with the cops i've dealt with here. Been pulled over for numerous speeding incidents (20+ over a few times), missing headlight (as in, no light in the housing due to a previous incident), and various other issues, been let off with warnings every time. Again, experiences may vary based on your area and luck, but "Don't talk to cops without a lawyer" is going a bit overboard imo.

T1g4h posted:Protip: Not all cops are dicks True, not all of them are. Some, which is enough. They're human, under pressures to close cases like a salesman is to make quota. I will bet you an avatar or something that if you take this scenario to one of the cop threads in GIP they wound tell you not to talk without a lawyer if you are a suspect.

There's a big difference between not saying anything and being a dick. And guess what nm does for a living. I was pulled over and politely refused to let them search my car. Officer got pretty accusatory but couldn't do much other than let me go. Reason for stopping me was "dim license plate bulb."

I have zero issue with that, I'd likely do the same thing regardless as to whether or not I even had anything in my car. But just straight up going "Nope, I want a lawyer, not gonna talk to you." period with any dealings with the law seems a bit silly. But that's just me. And considering I just wasted 4 hours of my life trying to install a NFS Shift 1 mod on Shift 2 before finally realizing my mistake, I think it's safe to say i'm pretty goddamn retarded at times

some texas redneck posted:I'm... sorta back. Still posting from a hospital, but much more comfortable. Stop killing yourself! Glad you at least went to the hospital. So I got the ag pipe installed today. Had to open the trench out some more. Only had one leak in the pipe on the first attempt where it's attached on to an adaptor near the meter, but I expected that. More tape and cranking it down until the hex bit of the brass adaptor chewed into the poly adaptor did the job. It just couldn't go deep enough. Cut the section of old gal pipe that ran through the front yard and bent it in the middle so I could drag it out. Had to be mindful of the power feed for the house because it stuck up so far. It all went well except that I forgot to get something to anchor the new poly riser to the old galvanized riser with, so it's held there with zip ties for now. The new ball valve tap is the poo poo. I think it might be stainless. Anyway gently caress I'm tired and sore. I filled in my emergency drain pits and the trench too. Still only the first part of many to come but the water doesn't act like it has prostate issues any more. And it's pretty clear too instead of hazy, dark brown or black. Looking forward to seeing it in action with the timed garden sprinklers. Also looking forward to trying it with the hose. Six goddamn years of using it with the head on "Jet" to get more than a metre of projection. Watering things or trying to wash a car sucked hairy balls. Still have no idea whether ag pipe is remotely legal but gently caress it. I fail to see the difference between what I did and it's intended use.

Went out and saw mad max tonight. I swear the only reason they had any semblance of a plot was so that they could have more cars chasing them, more scenes of cars chasing them and more loving explosions. This is in no way a criticism.

It's not silly if you've been through it and see how they work first hand. When I was 19 the cops effectively got me to incriminate myself and my friends by pretending to be my buddies that "just wanted to talk for a bit". If I would have kept my mouth shut and got a lawyer right away I would have never ended up a witness in a court martial.

Anyone who doesn't consult a cop for anything even potentially more severe than a traffic stop is loving stupid. And that's coming from a white dude from the south. Anyone who posits "not all cops" gets about as much credence from me as me telling a woman, "yeah, baby, that's the first time that's ever happened." Don't gently caress around with people who have literal unrivaled impunity from loving you hard and for no reason other than to make their day.

Been pulled over for numerous speeding incidents (20+ over a few times), missing headlight (as in, no light in the housing due to a previous incident), and various other issues, been let off with warnings every time. My experience is only several thousand criminal cases where in ONE case I thought "this guy should have talked to the cops" (seriously, and for most of the bar there are none) and in the 98% when they talked thought "Jesus gently caress, you screwed this case." Even when they are innocent. The goal of the police officer is to close the case, find the suspect, arrest, and send the charge to the prosecutors office. In this case, Rhyno was really, really lucky the cop had a suspect (assuming he is tell the truth). That mixed story would certainly be enough to raise suspicions, and it just might be enough to charge. Maybe not enough to convict, but do you have enough for bail and will your job still be there? Similarly, cops are trained in pretty powerful techniques that can get even innocent people to confess or at least say incriminating things. They often are not trained in the strength of the technique, just the tools. See the Reid technique. 9 times of of 10, you'll probably be fine, but that one time you'll meet someone like me in a jumpsuit and you'll either plea to get out (yay criminal record!) or stay in jail (my county's bail schedule for wserious misdos was often $100,000 -- you got $10k to give to the bondsman?), lose your job, your house, your car, your wife? nm fucked around with this message at 06:51 on May 23, 2015 |

Enourmo posted:MAD MAX? Saw it again today with a couple buddies on an IMAX PREMIERE screen in 3D with recliners that vibrated with the low frequencies and an insane sound system. Holy god that was worth the $20. The engines sounded a billion times better and the 3D was super cool. I also noticed Furiosas arm was powered by a tiny little engine with a mower pullstart? Yesssss....

I am informed that I am no longer a suspect because they actually read the witness statement which from my understanding had the word "black" on it in description of the actual suspect.

My mom has been in Hawaii for the past few days on a ladies golfing holiday and my dad has been at home alone, so I invited him over tonight and cooked him a cajun BBQ chicken with roasted rosemary potatoes and a whole lot of beers. We soon decided it was time to build a campfire in my backyard. It's been a good night.   [edit] Holy poo poo please get better STR. loving take care of yourself. [edit2] one time a cop pulled me over and asked to search my car. I said "that depends, are you going to put everything back the way you found it?" he said yes, and I let him search. He found nothing and then helped me put everything back. I thanked him after for sticking to his word. He seemed really appreciative of that. It's true that not all cops are bad but you can generally tell when you're going to meet a prick cop within 5 seconds of meeting him. My general rule of thumb is "most cops are pricks until they prove otherwise because to them you are guilty until you prove otherwise." [edit3] I've been think a lot about supermotos lately. I have an old dual sport, I think I might convert it. MustardFacial fucked around with this message at 07:44 on May 23, 2015 |

Guys, I wanna go home. Getting woken up every few hours to injections, vistals, etc, is sucking. They did confirm some kind of cardio "event" happened, but called it minor - hopefully I'll get to go home once my blood pressure is stablized. Crossing my fingers that's going to be today. If my typing looks a bit odd..   gettine onf ot hose stuck on every 8 hours.. ugh. Hate my veins. iwentdoodie posted:So my wife went vegetarian, and I'm decidedly not, as I barely eat vegetables. My mom ansolutely hates anything "vegetarian". So I'll sneak in some massive stew or something, and sneak in enough fire that shesn't notice the lack of meat until she's almost done.

Brain is finally starting to work again. Well, as well as ever. Nurse said it's likely I'm going home tomorrow, and will be on bed rest a bit. Not a heart attack, but apparently I join every other  American in having coronary heart disease.Makes me wonder if the 3 day long migraine before had anything to do with it. My bloodpressure was somewhere between the clouds and the moon when I got to the hospital, and remained there until yesterday. It's still borderline high,and I still have a headache, but it was 140/128 when they checked it in my sleep earlier. Good as time as ever to give up drinking.

the pick up truck itch is starting again. There is a guy with a 94 C1500 with a 6.5 NA diesel and a 5 speed for sale for 1400 bucks. But as much as I would love a diesel, I don't have the tools, or the knowledge of diesels to really make it a go. So I think its a brick nose Ford is what I will be searching for.

CharlesM posted:Where are you seeing it? I was thinking of seeing it at the Pacific Science Center, but it's in their smaller theater. Still good I think. I saw it at Pacific Science Center 3D, Cinebarre Mt Lake Terrace 3D, and Ballard Majestic Bay 2D. Of the 3, Cinebarre was the most expensive but the most visually and auditorily pleasing, with the middle sized screen. The Imax was larger, but while they had the sound volume, Cinebarre had a better balance. Also we showed up late to seating and got poo poo seats which makes a serious impact when dealing with 3D. Ballard was the cheapest, the smallest, the quietest, but my friends were blown away and it was nice to not have to gently caress with the glasses over my glasses.

nm posted:See the Reid technique. Haha holy poo poo, this is pretty much exactly what happened to me, they got me to confess to poo poo I didn't do but luckily in court the jury didn't see it that way. Funny how the technique is frowned upon for children, I was basically a kid an had no clue, completely trusted the cops and went along with anything they said. I look back on it a lot and think about how stupid I was for just letting them walk all over me when all I had to do was ask for a lawyer. Hindsight 20/20 I guess but i leaned a valuable lesson.

Yeah I got nothin against LE but I don't talk to them about anything if I even get a whiff that I'm under suspicion of anything. You can be friendly and cooperative all you want, but one day you are going to get burned and by the time you realize you should have shut up it's way too late. What's terrifying is when you don't "cooperate" and they start getting belligerent, getting in your face and yelling at you (on a neighborhood street at 4:30 in the morning) about "What do you mean you're not answering that question ["Have you ever been arrested before?"], you got something to hide? You know I can find out if I want to!" but you just gotta say "Go ahead and find out then" and act calm while inside you are making GBS threads yourself silly because the partner hasn't moved their hand from their gun since they figured out you're not going to spill whatever.
