Traffic, some highway, gunned it a bit; nothing crazy. Mazda knows how to tune a chassis, so the steering was awesome. It's a decently sized car, but I was following destructo to Dangerous Man in his 330i and he made a note that I was "playing to win" while navigating behind him.

That's pretty awesome, I was wondering if the numbers on those were right or if they were fudging a bit like other manufacturers tend to do.

Looks like I was wrong. Looks like the Mazda6 has only been available with the 2.5L. It's rated for 25/37mpg and I returned 35, so not bad. e: Oh yeah, the tank is 16.4 gallons, so that means ~550 mile fill ups. laff Phone fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Nov 24, 2015 |

My "classroom lesson on why not to use Wikipedia" from 10 years ago was to vandalize a random page during class. We'd laugh about it, then move on. Wikipedia would fix it some time later. A few years ago, I found that in at least one instance, other pages had copy/pasted that vandalized page as their own work. Now I just found the exact thing that I put in Wikipedia as a joke in a class published as fact in a text book.

Well, smart guy, I'm rattling the cage of the editor first, to let him know there's an academic dishonesty issue with his book. Next, I have emailed the person credited with the entry, who happens to live in Ireland, so he very well may not see the email until later or tomorrow. But if you think you've got my number, wager on it.

Man that sucks sorry to hear about that.I think most of us are pretty near to that age where our parents are getting old and started to drop off. It really loving sucks. Mine are in their sixties and one of these days they're just not gonna be there anymore and that scares the everliving gently caress out of me. Meanwhile I still have a set of grandparents somehow alive and healthy, in their eighties and still driving and living by themselves.

My mom is a christian scientist and refuses all traditional healthcare. She's in great health due to being a fitness nut, but could die of any cause that would require real medical intervention at any time. My dad is also a christian scientist, but also an alt-med alt-everything conspiracy theorist wacko. Some of you have seen my tangling with him on facebook. He's anti fluorinated water, anti GMO, thinks all manner of quack cures will fix cancer, anti Monsanto, thinks that 9/11 was an inside job, thinks the 100mpg carburetor was built by some dude in vermont but ~They~ kept vandalizing his shop to keep it suppressed, thinks free energy availability is being suppressed by evil oil/gas industry hitmen, and knows for sure that gas was way better back when he was a kid and now it's just refinery waste. Oh, and colloidal silver and "electronic pulse bug zapper" things you can build based off schematics from some guy's geocities website (he was going to mass produce them but BIG PHARMA's thugs stopped him and took the original website down and the author disappeared* so now it is just this copy on angelfire!!!!!1) will cure all manner of diseases. He reads Mercola's website and believes anything the guy says. Oh, and I'm pretty sure he's got diabetes (his left leg's got some pretty textbook symptoms) and there is absofuckinglutely nothing I can do about it. I think he knows it because he's been using truvia to sweeten stuff instead of sugar for years, but it's not working because he's refusing any sort of real medical solution and sticking to his quackery. We (my brother and I) have been debating testing him while he's asleep so we can shove it in his face and hopefully give him a wakeup call/reality check, but I doubt it'd work. It's great having crazy people as parents. Fortunately all 3 of us kids are independent thinkers and have gone back to traditional medical/healthcare, but our parents are doomed and there's no way we can force them to change their ways. At least we've had a few years to think it over and emotionally prepare, and they're still healthy-ish so far.  * not because, you know, "electro pulse bug zappers" don't cure anything and the idiot died of whatever he was trying to cure without telling his followers, or anything. That would make too much sense.

Modern dentistry amazes me. I broke out an old filling in my molar yesterday and ended up needing a crown. Last time I needed a crown it took three appointments over a month to get a hunk of gold alloy on my tooth. This time, however, they scanned my teeth and milled a crown out of a chunk of ceramic. Including the milling time, it only took about 2.5 hours from when I walked in the door to walking out with a new permanent crown.

The douche that used a terrible-vandalized-Wikipedia source has a linkedin page with a summary of "I have an exceptionally strong academic background."  His exceptionally strong academic background is obviously very lazy and relies on sources that are neither credible nor reliable.This is going to be fun. I don't know where I'm going to take it, but it's going to be fun.

Yes, subaru crank. Really glad I am getting new snow tires like, this week to replace the ones I got practically free from ssswitch a few years ago. There is not much tread left and I tried them out in the snow this afternoon. They don't work very well. And I decided on the blizzaks over generals or generals + studs. I am having a hard time fully believing it but I keep hearing about how they will still have better traction in most conditions.

Not digging the lack of a hard home button on this Nexus 7. At least I cab run Torque now! At least I was able to fix my PC the other day. It kept booting up for a few seconds, turning off for a few seconds, repeat. Not too good with computers and I just assumed it might be the super old DDR2 RAM or as opposed to the PSU or HDD or something since those are only a year or two old as opposed to 8. Ended up taking my Antec 900 apart, taking out all the components redoing it all from scratch. So much dust! Wish I had an air compressor handy. Took out the CD/DVD drive I haven't used in ages too. Booted back up fine. Of course I have like 0 interest in gaming while not smoking weed so it was all pretty moot.

My parents are both pretty sick right now at the both time dads got phenomena bad again for the second time this year and mom was diagnosed with lime desiese within like a week of eachother. They tell me welcome to having old partents I feel like this turning thirty thing just got real. Wish your family the best buddy.
