This dude just posted in a local FB group about a police encounter he had tonight. He went to KFC and got dinner for his family and got popped for speeding less than a mile from the KFC. He sat in his car until a second cruiser showed up. They had him get up and sit in the car that was in front of his, asked if they could search his car and he said yes claiming he had nothing to hide. After a few minutes they let him off with a warning. So he gets home and he's like WTF THEY STOLE MY CHICKEN. So he thinks the police are targeting KFC drive through customers for free chicken now and if true this is loving hilarious.

N is for Nipples posted:I'm adding this to my list of things to do if I ever become a cop. Too bad it's from Facebook, where the odds of it being true or even penned by that guy are pretty slim. I don't know him (there's like 8,000 people in this group) so I can't validate his story based on past experience but I really, really want it to be true.

I fully expected the story to end with the cops finding (planting) weed in his car or something. The KFC theft story is funny but I doubt it's true.

All the cops I know go to extreme lengths to avoid eating fast food, because it's just too easy to subsist on a trucker diet when you're on patrol.

I just got back from The Martian and holy poo poo am I jumping on the "this movie's loving awesome"  .I am loving this trend of semi-realistic science fiction movies. The whole time I was watching I kept thinking "hey, we could be on loving Mars if we stopped waving our dicks around on Earth for a little bit."

Second week in a row I get to deal with idiot drunks, yay me. I love how these people try to rationalize and reason like what they say matters to anyone but themselves. This ain't Walmart motherfuckers, the drunk customer is never right, as a matter of fact you have no rights, so enjoy the rental car you're sleeping in now because every hotel on the beach is sold out you dumb loving idiot.

So I have a (not really close) friend who wears his bluetooth earpiece non-stop. And its not like its a discrete one. And he takes a gazillion selfies and posts them all over the place. And he always turns his head to the bluetooth side for said selfies. I don't have the heart to tell him he's an idiot because he's a happy idiot. Useless information of the day, you're welcome.

They can actually sound very decent, but it all depends on implementation, on both ends, and how much else is going on (competing BT links, WiFi). The Bluetooth phone standard is rather clever when it comes to wide band speech, low latency and packet retransmissions, but like anything else, it breaks apart if you hammer on it enough.

The author is super happy about the screenplay, and agreed with all of their changes, so I can't hate too much. I know someone up thread specifically mentioned the canvas, he admitted himself that he was fine with it cause that was one thing in the book he just hand waved into existence cause he didn't know of anything really to use. So he just invented a material to keep the book going.

Mosquitoes love mine for some reason, every time I get in to go somewhere they come out from under the dash and seats and try to suck my blood until I mash the gas and all the incredible torque just blows them out leaving them hungry.

Whilst being drunk at an Oktoberfest festival last night, I got in a conversation with another "car guy" who's friends with some of my friends. He boldly wondered why no one has put a Mitsubishi Futo engine in a Miata and run it at the 24 Hours of LeMans, because it would surely smoke all of the LMP cars.  Edit: Also, he told me he was going to name his child Ayrton before it was miscarried. T-Square fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Oct 11, 2015 |

The Land Rover is MOT'd, "taxed", and been given a 100+ mile shakedown run. During which nothing fell off. Gearbox still noisy, but it's not like it was going to magically get quieter from being parked up for two years. Really noticing the Landie Wave as soon as I got back on the road in it. Anyone in a Series or Defender is your mate, though no evidence of the Disco/Rangie enthusiast crowd out today.

So my son is in little league, and we practice hitting in our back yard with a "quick stick" which is a small diameter bat that you hit plastic golf sized balls with for better hand-eye coordination. He tends to hit balls over the fence and our neighbors just throw them back over whenever and it hasn't really been a big deal. One of my neighbors who I thought was a friend decided it wasn't cool by screaming THAT ALMOST HIT ME IN THE loving HEAD!!! keep in mind this is a tiny wiffle ball the size of a golf ball that literally couldn't hurt a fly. So am I unreasonable to think he's being ridiculous? Do I really have to go to a park now to try to get him some hitting practice? What the gently caress.

If he's regularly hitting them over the fence? I'd say yeah. Friend or no, and hurt or no, I'd get annoyed if I was getting hit or having to pick poo poo up from my neighbors. That or put up some kind of screen/netting. But yeah, constantly hitting poo poo into a neighbor's yard is uncool.

It could have been just a bad day for the neighbor and your son may have hit it at just the wrong time. Or, the neighbor throws them back whenever, but generally resents doing so and you happened to have a cross-yard ball at the wrong time. Either way, it was the wrong time... and really you can't get mad at the neighbor unless you have a standing "yeah, it's cool" agreement. If it's just been something that you haven't talked about, that's on you. Edit: gently caress. I agree with iwentdoodie.

This ended up being it, he came by shortly after and apologized so it's all good now. We've always been cool since I've lived here (over 10 years) so it was just kind of a shock, mostly for my son because they have had a great relationship as well.
