I'm near Oconomowoc. I did Grattan once, the first year I started track riding. I'd like to do it again now that I'm a much faster and smoother rider. Blackhawk's a fun track, but it's basically the only track we race year in, year out, so sometimes it gets a little old. Being completely flat doesn't really help its case. Gingerman was kind-of fun, but it isn't very bike-friendly. The two seams that split the racing surface into 3rds can really unsettle the bike. Although when we rode it, it was an open track day for cars and bikes. No one showed up to ride bikes, so my dad and I had the track completely to ourselves.

I've only done blackhawk in the rain and I can see how it can be boring when you do it over and over. However, I thought it was a lot of fun in the rain, but its run-off sucks.

My SO really really wants a Mini Cooper to replace her ragged-as-hell MB C240. Are there any major issues with mid-late 2000's hardtop base Coopers that I should know about? The biggest anecdotes I see around the internet are power steering pump failure and timing chain issues.

I've heard of a lot of problems, especially with the automatics.

Considering that 95% of the trolling and shitposting on that forum is done by the mods, it would be pretty hard to get banned. Whenever someone makes a poo poo post, they turn it into a trolling free-for-all. The mods even went as far as to make a fake account and facebook page to catfish one of the members.

CSB never sends me dicksnaps anymore.

Actually, that part about not knowing? Not true. That's part of the horror of dementia, you are actually a lot more aware of how much your mind is going than is commonly portrayed. It's all part of the cloud of confusion and anxiety you are enveloped in. And in amongst that is how the mind will flick from year to year so one day you think you are in 1965 and you are wondering why you are in a room with a body you don't remember with people you dont recognise and it's all like a nightmare but you cant wake up.... but there's also a part that knows you are not in 1965 and is struggling to get you back in the present and is screaming to come back.

I've said this before but after working with dementia patients.... I *wish* it was sit back and descend into a fog of forgetfulness. When you really understand what is going on, it is absolute pure nightmare fuel, because that is exactly what patients experience. You are confused, your brain is actively trying to gently caress you up and GG I'd rather have rear end cancer. I dont know any dememtia carers that dont support assisted suicide and for good reason, dementia is a hosed up way to go out.

2 of my grandparents had Alzheimers (and 1 other died early of cancer), so yeah, scary as hell. My grandmother lived in denial for years after getting the diagnosis until she got to far gone. She was a college educated Chemist in an era when women were supposed to be housewives, and she just couldn't comprehend it. She lived another 20 years. It was terrible to watch a strong, intellegent woman lose the ability to walk and even eat.
My grandfather (other side of the family) got the diagnosis and started a decline, but had the "luck" of getting sick after a few years and refused treatments.

This is why my mom, breast caner survivor gives all her money to Alzhiemer's research. Way more terrifying.

Cat Terrist posted:

Just plain staying active, both mentally and physically helps. Those stories about people just declining at a horrible rate after they retire? True and it's because they stop being active. The body and brain were never designed to sit and veg out.

Eh, my grandfather went to work (he was a professor at a university) until the dementia got so bad he'd get lost on the way home (he biked and was in a small enough town the police and fire departments knew him and where he lived, thank god).

Manhatten. Made with rye like god intended.
If they serve it on the rocks rather than up, insult the bartender and leave.

I've drank enough to try karaoke. This guy isn't awful, he just doesn't like cars.

Unfortunately, all my Minneapolis friends I'm still in contact with who like cars are married, gay, or women. They're also almost all lawyers, which sure is a downside (on the upside, they're very friendly with alcohol).

nm, I don't think I could ever date an attorney, because my dad is like the Saul Goodman of patent law and it put me off of attorneys forever.

But Saul Goodman is interesting and patent law is boring as gently caress?
Also, no one should date lawyers.

Hell, I bought an oldballs Lenovo T500 6 months ago for $200 and put a 120GB Samsung 840 in it, poo poo is fantastic. So good that when my mom needed a new computer I did exactly the same thing (but with a T400).

Lenovo apparently ran out of disc HDs (1.8") that work in my computer because when mine died under warranty, they replaced it with a same size SSD (256GB like 2 years ago). loving score, that was like a $400 HD back then. The speed improvement is amazing.

I've always been told that unless you have the marks to get into one of the top five law schools (in the US and/or Canada at least), don't bother because you're gonna end up in a soul-sucking family law practice, fighting over which of Billy-Bob or Bobby-Sue gets the double-wide and the Camaro.
