blk posted:So I'm watching Man of Steel against my better judgment (always thought Superman was hokey) and there is some seriously unsubtle conservative Christian messaging going on. The evil aliens societal problems derive from birth control and they praise evolution? Come on... What? There was? Who cares, only watched it for a rather surprsingly good take on Superman smashing poo poo up. Get a building dropped on him? Shrug and get up. Take a superhuge punch that would dent an island? Throw one back that would destroy said island. Fart wrong and he would blow up a town. I'm sure it didnt gel with something golden age NERD RAAAAAAGE SUPERMAN DOES NOT KILL AGGGH or some bullshit that only nerds that need to get laid care about but MoS was the first time I think that Superman and his powers were shown that allowed suspension of disbelief to work, as in yeah of course no one can be powered by the sun like that BUT if it was possible .... well that was a pretty good representation. Yeah sure, bunch of other poo poo didnt work but eh. Superman punched a guy through a building. Was anyone really going to see that moive for anything else?

Oh good, some loving competition that I dont care about is ending so everyone around me can STFU about a game no one usually cars about. In in the well there may well be a tiny hope for humanity, Ian Thorpe (really good swimmer) comes out as gay, world goes "YAY! We're genuinely happy for you!". It's nice tyo see the fundies being yelled down and someone saying they are gay gets overwhelmingly positive comments.

nm posted:There was a W in there somehow (phone posting). Should be NT -- Northern Territory. Territorians are too busy getting drunk and loving cows to be a real nuisance. Or was being hosed by cows? Not 100% sure but there's some sort of cow loving going on up there. Tasmania is a bit more into incest (How does a Tasmanian know his sister is on her period? His brothers dick tastes funny), Athens is a outer suburb of Melbourne, Sydney is going to be renamed something Chinese, Brisbane has TITS, Perth is being dug up and shipped to Asia, Adelaide is so loving boring the locals kill each other and stuff the bodies into barrels to liven poo poo up and everyone wants Canberra to be nuked by the Kiwis. quote:In all seriousness when I visited Australia in 2000 I felt some tension in Sydney. I don't know that it was a huge problem but it sounds like there were a lot of immigrant groups, especially Asian people, that were very insular and didn't really assimilate to Australian culture nor speak English. It felt like that caused a lot of resentment amongst the locals. I got a sense of it just by observation a bit but obviously I was just a visitor so I can't speak like an authority on the matter but there was tension there... Now all that being said I had a really great time and met lots of great people all over. The day I was leaving I had my 18th birthday though It's gotten a lot better, the late 90's was when the division on the Asian refugees from Vietnam and other places began to have their kids merge into the wider society. So now the second generation is having kids now and the reality is that Sydney is turning very quickly into a true Asian city, I think from what I read last week that the overall Asian background residents is now over 25% and the level of non-english speaking households is now approaching 30% and in many suburbs is now a majority - the process seems to be accelerating as well (That doesn't mean the residents don't speak English tho, most households are bi-ligual). I rather like it. I think Sydney has improved big time in the last 10 years with the change in demographic - The old stereotypical Westie oval office is dying out and being replaced by Asian influences, I really wont be surprised if Sydney going majority Asian decent happens in the next 10 years.

Motronic posted:Why would you think you need to do that? If you've never driven to the limit on a track your first time out is not going to require anything more than your street car in street car trim. This is outright dangerous advice. At the VERY least, it gives the brakes a drat good service and that is next to mandatory for any track time. Plus stock pads are almost always only good for being quiet and not for consistent hard stops. A MSP3 is a fast car, the stock pads are not up to the task - what are you doing giving such bad advice? You should know better. quote:Sorry, you're wrong on this. It's not difficult to make stock brake pads disappear. A Mazdaspeed3 is a lot of car and is fast as hell, when I'm going into a braking zone going 120+ mph, I really don't want to be second guessing whether or not my brakes are on fire. It's a safety item Absolutly. Now Phone has it right - and as I said, it's good to give the brakes a refresh at any time. If you are using the fact it's track time, then good.

Motronic posted:Yes, I'm sure the factory forgot and put base econobox brakes on his MazdaSpeed. No Mazda comes with pads that cope with track days and I know the MSP3 will run out of brakes fairly quickly on a track as a result. The pads are more designed to work fast in one emergency stop (soft compound) and more bent for quiet operation, rather than hard, constant use. So changing them to something that has more of a performance bent is something you should do. I know who's being ridiculous and it aint me. Stop giving bad advice, brakes are kinda important and in a turbocharged FWD that hits it's front brakes very hard, doubly so, the stock pads WILL be an issue.

I cant imagine a good one left in Japan now, let alone the fact they are 25 year old cars. Was it really 25 years ago I got to drive one?!?!? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! I remember the sheer terror of that car, nothing I had ever driven went like that thing and nothing that was availible could get close. How times change. My daily driver is much more powerful, even faster and it's just a big four door sedan. I'd have a R-32 in a heart beat tho. What a awesome car even today

Anphear posted:130 times less 'deadly' than smoking. Ummm... "deadly" doesnt work like that. There's a drat sight fewer people exposed to asbestos but it is much more lethal if the fibres get into your lungs and it gets going. Mesothelioma basically is a death sentance, it's just not able to be treated well. The exposure time needed is also much lower than smoking - 1 to 3 months for Asbestos, smoking is many years (And even if you are a 20 year smoker, quit and you can most likely dodge the ill effects. You get exposed to asbestos, you can be just plain A-Class hosed, there is no known safe exposure. The risk of mesothelioma is also linear in relation to your exposure) Why do you think it's treated like a unstable bomb? This poo poo is seriously dangerous and really is a hosed up way to die.

^^^ The Probe/626 coupe as far as I am aware is what came out of the FWD projectFucknag posted:I'm currently in a discussion on FB with a former coworker. He's convinced that the Mustang is gonna go to FWD eventually, because "fuel economy" and "investors" and "the market is changing". FWD Mustang nearly did happen as far as I recall, was even in running prototype stage (before morphing to the Probe) - The 80's were a weiiiiiiiiiird time. But I seriously doubt it'll happen now.

Fucknag posted:This was my stance. There's absolutely no benefit to it. You've already got 2 FWD sport compacts in the lineup along with the SHO, and if you wanted something mid-size (which the Mustang is, let's face it) it would be peanuts to drop, say, the 2.3 EB into the Fusion. There is nothing to gain by making what is essentially Ford's halo car FWD, and plenty to lose from the enthusiast market, which I'd wager makes up a disproportionate percentage of Mustang buyers compared to other models. Pretty much - the current RWD Mustang is an absolute league beyond any FWD for performance. Big FWD for performance and a halo car is just loving insane, the Mustang plate would end right then and there. In the 80's however, it made some kind of vague sense - the 80's Stang's were loving bad and slow, it was a smaller car so going to a FWD platform wouldn't have been so much of a difference, FWD turbos were actually quicker than the sad poo poo V8's were. You wanted performance? You wouldn't look at a Mustang, a FWD model really would have been a big improvement and frankly the Probe was a good car when it arrived. 80's != 2014 thankfully.
