CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:...I'd also disagree WW was the only bright spot in BvS, Batfleck was drat good for the most part. FFS tho, that movie should have been edited a lot better and Lex Luthor redone. I was exaggerating a little. Batfleck was alright by me, I liked when he was detectiving at Luthors party, bur again WW. On a positive note, I just sold the 2003 Camry that had been my winter beater the last year for a grand over what I paid for it, registration and repairs. 3 days to sell on Craigslist, first looker, full asking price. Gonna buy some lotto tickets with the proceeds.

Saw Guardians yesterday, great movie and the best Marvel series by far imo. Was quite surprised by the tear jerker ending, my son was crying and I got choked up, wasn't expecting that from the movie

Piss off. nm posted:Chris Kings are for when you want to win the race. Well... I disagree with that assessment, mostly because Kings are built to do MTB style drop ins even in road form - the current R45's have outlasted two frames and three rims, which is not unusual for Ck's at all. I would contend they are a gold standard just by how much punishment they are proven to take and shrug it off.

nm posted:King won't even make a tandem hub with more than 36 holes. It indicates what they're designing for and it ain't the apocalypse of freds on 100lb bikes. ?????? CK's are designed to take the kind of punishment that is inflicted when you do MTB style dropins. That's an indication they are built for people like me who arent 40kgs and hammer the poo poo out of their bikes daily - I'm not alone in breaking the bike well before the hubs even blink.

Turns out Cat Interceptor's sea of all-wheel-drive glory was too much for my vehicle to handle. I delivered some parts to him and the Kaptain then the very next day the magic liquid departed my engine 350k into a 1000k drive. 27 hours and 630 dollarydoos later I was on the road again. So I did what all reasonable people do, bought a new car and the ute is now hibernating in a paddock.

Just did my fourth ever blood donation. Apparently my ferritin levels are quite high, which basically means I'm so goddamn metal, it's affecting my health  (So I should donate blood as often as possible, ie. every three months) eyebeem posted:the ghost of Sheldon Brown RIP everyone's favorite bike weirdo genius, I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since he passed away :-(

Doctors should prescribe ultra high fat diets and borderline alcoholic behaviors to insomniacs. A caffeine (and R6:Siege) fueled night of insomnia had me miserable until I had queso fundido and a Little Sumpin'. Now it feels like I took benadryl

InitialDave posted:To be perfectly honest, Vauxhall just can't seem to avoid making their cars dull and damped-out to drive, the Insignia in particularly feels like a barge. That's a shame. I've driven an few facelift mk1 Insignias and it felt like it was covering up a crap chassis with big rubber... handles well until you get near to the limit and it all falls apart quickly. I was hoping they had upped their game since. Don't really mind Vauxhall interiors, I'd say I slightly prefer them to Ford's current lot. I still haven't forgiven Ford for their sea of shiny silver plastic phase.

I was cruising on the freeway today around 10:15 on the motorcycle, doing 85-90 in the left lane. Moto cop toots along right by me, gives a little wave and makes a "slow down" gesture, and keeps cruising right along. That's my story of the day. Also my GF is out of town for a couple days for business and its going to be weird as hell sleeping alone / in my own bed again.
