Blipshift Restomod sale! How many shirts should I buy? I am tempted by the M3NTAL shirt, but also worry that it might be in poor taste.The Joyride one is probably a yes.

So there's a building on fire at my apartment complex...

2 alarms at the moment according to the police/fire radio. At least it's not my building (this time).

The word "mental" might come off a little insensitive. With a group of like minded Bavaria enthusiasts you're probably fine.

It has been a miss for me for the past couple of months I feel. I ordered this one the other week because it is nice to have a white tee from time to time https://www.blipshift.com/products/flare-necessities

If you like the shirt, I wouldn't even worry about it. If someone decides it gets up their nose, they can do one. Wear what you like.

As a certifiable crazy person, I take offense to people using the number 3 in place of the letter E

Also, it's a graphic tee with a car on it. Everyone who bothers to actually look will assume it's about Top Gear and no one will think it's mocking the mentally ill (unless the person in question is legitimately paranoid and in need of professional help)

Safety chat: parents, would you put your infant with car seat in a NA Miata after removing the passenger airbag? Or would the fact that it's a tiny car with 30 year old collision design make you uncomfortable?

I'd relegate it to emergency only status. Doable but not recommended.

My son rode in my Miata all the time once he was older, around 5 yrs. Personally I would not have a child in the passenger seat of a Miata until they are old enough to use a booster seat.

Also you don't have to remove the airbag, just disable it.

I never have a lot of car stuff to add here, so I'll just add this for Rhyno.

Stick to counting calories and lifting; protein powder is a good supplement as is maybe a preworkout. I started eating right and lifting weights again seriously at the beginning of February. I'm already down 26lbs from 437 to 410.8. Just stick with it and it'll be awesome.

I lift to lose this weight, obviously, and to get loving strong. It's awesome being the fat guy at the Y and having a 350lb deadlift and a 185lb bench press. It's also great being there nearly every day putting in a lot of work and losing weight. Don't be intimidated by anyone at the gym, the ones there to workout and grow will at worst leave you alone and at best support you. Everyone else is there for some other reason than to get fit and I have no time for them.

I ordered one the other day (its like my 4th or 5th blipshift shirt), but its been miss for a long time for me, too. It was the human torque wrench shirt, I think it was mentioned in the thread here.

Speaking of Miatas, I literally just bought a pair of seats from an NA6 that had been wrapped around a pole. Thank the Lord for teenagers and rainy weather

Using sarin on kids is not cool, and air strikes are not the same as feet on the ground.

In any case, whoever's in charge of making sure that the Cheeto behaves like a good boy did an amazing job today. If it were not for him being in Florida instead of DC for what might very well be the start of WW3, it would've almost seemed presidential

Don't forget: All those dead Syrian kids on TV? They're literally the same people as the refugees your country didnt want. Let alone the thousands of civilians who keep dying from bombs marked "Made in the USA"

The USA has the moral highground for jackshit.

At risk of sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist: You can't decontaminate sarin with bare hands and feet!

Whatever happened there is so new and there is no independent information. Governments' and news organizations' willingness to trust the rebels (who are al-qaeda, btw) baffles me.

So apparently the fire here started in a vacant apartment.

Nobody hurt, found out there's been several dumpster fires next to that building recently (how the gently caress did I not know this before?). :catstare: I'm sure the random dumpster fires and a fire in a vacant apartment are completely unrelated, right? :ohdear:

The article I read said someone showed a US radar track of the plane that dropped the bombs on Tuesday taking off and returning to the base he attacked. I am suspicious of news and videos coming out of the region myself, but if we have our own evidence? The chemical weapons spawned the whole war in Syria to begin with. It's a loosing situation all around.

Also I can assure you the barrel bombs, Sarin, fighter jets etc that Assad is using don't say made in the USA. And we at least let the refugees that we take from the Middle East onto the mainland, and don't keep them on some dumb island prison. No one can claim a moral high ground.

Please, banning refugees was one of the least bad things we've done in the region in 2016. American planes refueled Saudi bombers that were attacking civilians in Yemen, meaning that the US is not only turning a blind eye to the suffering that we've wrought, but complicit in legit war crimes
