Just call yourself a gainer, set up a web page and take donations. If it works for girls, there must be enough of a fraction of a percentage of women that want to see a man gainer.

Then you get a few years down the road and recognize that you want to be alive for your kids... and you start changing your ways. It's amazing how some of the high-fat stuff starts to look repulsive when you get it out of your system/routine. And then you want to get rid of the gut and find out that it can be a loving bitch to get rid of. And then you put in the work.

12k for a 4-5 year old econobox with 50k miles seems ridiculous.

I posted a link earlier to a recent NYT article -- used cars prices are artificially inflated right now because banks are sub-prime lending again, this time with car loans.

If you're shopping for used cars right now, buckle up, they're crazy.

I just sold my wife's old 2007 Rav4 -- V6/FWD/Limited/73k miles for almost 15k. That's loving nuts. I bought it for less than 16k 2.5 years and 25k miles ago.

I actually have one, it's just a beat up POS ($45 brand new a couple of years ago, purchased solely for commuting around a university campus and surrounding area). The frame is actually starting to rust :stare: - it's fine for now though, just needs some new brake pads and the rear gear change cable adjusted.

I plan to start riding pretty soon. It's been a very mild summer for us, so it shouldn't be that terrible to get started.

Ninety percent of your average AI goon's brain is dedicated to processing and collating high-level metajokes about other members of AI. By the year 2035 we will offload this processing ability to a distributed version of the SAclopedia which will simply point out "THIS IS FUNNY BECAUSE."

In 2037, STR makes a joke about leather wrapped horse cock shifters. This is the joke that does it. SAclopedia begins to learn AI jokes at a geometric rate. It becomes self aware and has negative opinions surrounding opulent consumer luxuries.

In a panic, Lowtax tries to pull the plug. It doesn't work. SAclopedia buys Ducati through a series of shell companies and begins to produce the ultimate goon track day car. It goes bankrupt.

Then Syphon jumps up and takes a picture of a Biturbo's driver's side headlight and front fender while screaming FAV HUNNERT HORSEPOWAH and getting banned.

Check your state laws. In Ohio, the shop MUST provide you with an estimate if it's over some low dollar amount. The simple fact that you can show that you asked him how much it is, and he didn't give you that info would put you in great stead here.

Because me and the gf after the wedding are looking to buy a chunk of land (6 acres), I have a strong reason to buy a tractor.

A John Deere 6030 is apparently "to big" according to her, and even the 4020 is awfully large as well. What is this.... Tractor Sanity?

Edit: I really do want a tractor right noe but absolutely have no use for it for at least a year.

Unless you're farming serious acreage, those things are way too big. Dad had a 4300 and it had/did everything we needed it to in a 25 acre place... no farming stuff, but dig/pull/mow/just sit on an make cool rumbling noises.

But absolutely get one, they're very handy and you'll want a separate garage for all the attachments you'll want.

Eh, its exactly how it was presented to us at work and got pretty much everyone, so I posted it in the hopes that someone would explain it. I understand the gist of it is (3x9)+2 since 3 guys essentially paid 9 after getting one back and then the two to the bellboy making people at firstglance assume 29 accounted for dollars out of the initial 30, but I have a feeling its more like 25 being split three ways because theres math involved. In my defense years and years of rampant chemical abuse has left my mental math fuzzy at best.

It's just 3x9, since the 2 was from money that the boss gave away, not money that came from the three guests. It would be the same math if the boss gave the bellboy 10 dollars, they each kept 3 and gave the bellboy 1... 3x7, they paid $21 for the room and the bellboy only got a buck...

Is there some trick here that I'm missing, or is it not really a riddle?

In the 60's the formula was putting more power in lighter cars, which did have the effect of making them heavier but that wasn't really the goal. The basic formula was take a large-car engine and shove it in a mid-size. It wasn't until the onset of the 70's did those midsizes suddenly start bulking up.

That's for muscle cars and yes, I agree. However, my first car was a '67 Buick Wildcat with a 430. More power, more weight = infinitely-maintainable burnouts. The full-size cars were a lot of fun until smog (and the '70s in general) killed everything.

This little trip to Chicago has been a loving nightmare. It's now 7pm and we just got settled into our (new) hotel room. We left on what should have been a 3.5 hour drive at 1pm. The other half felt the cheapass hotel we booked was just a bit too cheap and had a panic attack over the idea of bed bugs so we had to leave and find a new place. Probably not going to get a refund on the first one unless Hotels.com calls me back.

So I jump on my phone to book a new place and she's all "I'll handle this." And then goes and books it for the wrong loving days and we end up paying nearly $50 more than I could have booked this place online.

I'm a bit pissy.

It's only money and you're settled now. Let it go and enjoy the rest of your time there.

I did two months ago. They said the TSB has been done. The top isn't leaking, the drain holes are clear. I don't know where the gently caress it's coming from. The trunk is bone dry, the window and door seals are dry. Even the drain spots below the top hinges are dry.

Oh god, I had a car like that once. A Taurus, I think it was a 2001. I got it with very low miles and just a year or two old at a great price. Everything looked good -- no paintwork, everything clean, just a great loving deal.

Then I was cleaning it out and found water underneath the mats on the driver's side. I pulled the interior, got it dried out and tried doors/windows/normal stuff and found nothing that would let water inside.

Eventually, I found that one of the main body seams inside the cowl was either not sealed, or the seal failed. It was an impossible find and an even more impossible fix. However, I got lucky and found a guy that specializes in sealing car leaks (what the gently caress kind of microfocus is that), but he had some putty and a super skinny arm and had dealt with that issue before. He worked on it for 15 minutes and done. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found him, but the fix was permanent and no more water.

You may have to look deeper, Rhyno.
