Some bread chat: I think 90% of the time, I want a bread that tastes good and has the right mouth feel on the first bite. Bertucci's bread rolls don't have great flavor, but they build into that gummy gluten texture maybe a dozen chews in, and then they really hold their own. It's kind of strange that there are foods that demand patience for you to get the full eating pleasure out of them.

Because of earlier talk in the thread about cheap Fiestas I put feelers out for one to replace my wife's Scion. A dealership near here is supposed to be getting a '17 SE with the 1.0 EcoBoost and 5 speed in the next week or so. I'm hoping that between it being late in the model year and it being a manual the dealership will be willing to work with me on the price, but just for a baseline does anyone here have anecdotal data on what's a fair deal? Dealership says it'd qualify for 0%/60 month financing OR a $some amount (my phone was breaking up) off the purchase price. We have fairly good credit but just bought a house in June. I can get financing through USAA if I don't go with the dealership financing. Thanks dudes.

I hate it when my wife doesn't think poo poo through and I have to waste half my evening bailing her out when I explicitly told her I didn't want to deal with this exact situation.

When you order you hand hem a card with what you want from the picture menu board and it has what you want in Japanese buying a meal ticket from a vending machine and handing the ticket over to the staff is very common in japan

Yeah I remember needing a card of some kind to play the games but I couldnt remember if you got anything special from the initial d game. I only played it once and was very bad at it

It's Sunday, all the parts stores are closed, and you just ripped the exhaust off your car, including the flange on the catalytic converters that you weren't planning on replacing. You need your car tomorrow. Your father has a mouldering old dock and it's put together with bolts and 1/8" plate...  Yep, that'll do.

September and October in Colorado are the loving best. I wait all year for this. This is when I put the most miles on my convertible as I drive it to work just to make sure I get that early evening drive home. And yesterday I had all afternoon to kill so I drove it around for about two and a half hours on some favorite roads. The leaves are falling, I have a 65 degree breeze blowing through my living room carrying the smell of bbqs and fall air. If I win the lottery I swear I'll just live here in these two months and somewhere else the rest of the year. Winter is ok except when it snows (which isn't as often as people assume) but summer here sucks. It's hot and it rains every day anyway. Spring is similar to fall but it's much much shorter. This year we didn't even really have a spring, it went from snow to rain to loving 90's and rain. But fall rocks.

October is one of the best months of the year here. Beaches are nice but mountains are better to look at.

Does OpenCPN automagically parse the data coming off of your GPS? That's something I had to mess with.

Ha, we were supposed to go meet friends and see the special screening of the Princess Bride tonight but we ended up being too busy to go. Bullet dodged. Our friends that went messaged a bit ago about the group of disgusting wierdos who showed up, sat all in a row and shouted out lines from the film while it was playing. He says more than one fedora was present.

They show some neat poo poo, and for certain screenings, audience participation is allowed and encouraged, with subtitles thrown up on the screen. I saw Monty Python & The Holy Grail during one of those screenings - they gave out coconut halves to everyone in the audience for that one.

It's an awesome place! Though I wind up dropping a decent chunk of change every time - their food/drink is pretty expensive once you're inside the theater. The food's decent. Saw The Big Lebowski there awhile back; no audience participation on that one, but I managed to run up a $50 tab from the white russians (they change the menu up depending on the movie - for Deadpool, they added chimichangas on the menu, plus a couple of different drinks). A lot of screenings of older movies sell out days before the movie. But... can't take kids under 6 except during specific showings. e: looks like they added white russians to the menu permanently, aptly named The Dude's White Russian. Or maybe that's always been there and I just didn't discover it until that day randomidiot fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Oct 16, 2017 |

So I was getting out of the tractor at work today and swung myself off the bottom step onto the ground. Only to promptly discover that I put my foot into a pair of ruts from a dually off a truck that was hiding in the long grass and went down like a sack of poo poo. That was 15 mins afterwards still sitting in the tractor.  And 9hrs later at home.  Still can walk on it so Im hopeful nothing broke, thank god for high sided work boots. But im pretty sure thats going to hurt in the morning

So it may have been a mistake to come to the Northern most point of Ireland for a holiday. A windy thing called 'Ophelia' is coning to gently caress poo poo up and we're right up top by the sea on the peninsula. If I die, whoever wants to throw lots of money at it can have my Supra. Please have fun, feed it lots of oil and eventually stack it doing something stupid in my honour. Bless up.

Ow. Last week while disconnecting a mobile home service pole (house got repo'ed), I found out that two pieces of vinyl siding laying together have a coefficient of friction roughly equal to eel snot, and busted my rear end when nobody was looking. No harm though.

Yup, we wanted to go there for Wonder Woman but the kiddo is five, not six. Having been on the other side of it I totally get it, not every parent who brings a kid to a movie is willing to skip the show and take their kid out if they're being lovely. I'm all for a theater getting in front of that with their own age rules even if it does make some movies a bit harder.

I decided a few weeks ago that I was going to run a 5k in November. I figured, how hard can it be? I go to the gym three times a week and usually do six miles at a time on the bike. Oh man, running is hard. I made it to two miles on Friday but my legs hurt like hell afterward. I have some Puma trainers but on Saturday I got some fitted running shoes (loving $200 for the shoes and the inserts, goddamn). My knee is still killing me today and I don't know if I should run tonight. I normally go mon-wed-fri and I want to try out my new shoes but I also don't want to gently caress up my knee or anything. Running hurts.

Do the couch to 5k program. Also look up good form running so you're not smacking your heels down with every stride. Feels weird at first but you get used to it, and it's way better for your knees. I wish I could still run. My hip replacements came with a hidden cost of having to buy a bike.
