HOLY poo poo THE MAY THREAD POSTED IN MAY

For those that are late;

This is a chat thread for anyone who reads AI. We talk about computers, life, how much alcohol we drink, how much weight Rhyno has lost, where it's finally getting loving cold in Australia and STR dodges tornados, Mad Max fan fiction and shipping Furiosa and one of the Wives, LITERALLY A FISH occasionally slam truth bombs while CAT INTERCEPTOR infects our minds and sends us all to the cycle asylum - leading an army of AI cyclists to slaughter hipsters on fixies, WE DONT TALK ABOUT GUNS, cry over the Trumpocopypse, wonder how the gently caress *insert idiot here* hasnt been reprogrammed with a baseball bat, we post cat pics, whatever! Just imagine this as one large garage and we are all pretending to work on some broken rear end Falcon Coupe or Subaru while talking poo poo about anything that comes up. Anyone who is just wandering by, stop and say hello! We don't bite and we're a pretty chilled out bunch of normal people. Except apparently when [list of topics you already know to avoid] comes up. anyway.

Either that or get engaged or get married. Seems to be a lot of that going round.

NOW STEP INTO MY GARAGE AND HELP ME FIX A BROKEN rear end SUBARU. OR CHAT. OR SINK PISS

Saw a dudebro in a lifted Tacoma cutting in and out of traffic on the freeway today. Made contact with another car and then took off to the next exit. I called it in to highway patrol.

He had a vanity plate, and out of curiosity, I googled it. It's his username on the Tacoma World forums. Hmmm.

By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I'm working the elliptical so hard I broke the welds again. Did some reading and this seems to be an issue with the model but I'm not the original owner A) can't get it replaced and B) already had it welded once. But my buddy says he can weld it back up tomorrow and he has access to some hardcore strong poo poo that we are going to use to add some strength and hopefully keep this from happening again because I don't have the scratch to replace the whole thing right now and I don't want to pay for a gym membership.

I don't want to go biking. With the elliptical I don't have to save anything for a return trip, I can run exactly as long as I am capable or want to. I can do 15 minute workouts, cool down for a minute and jump right into the weights. The convenience of it is part of my success thus far.

Simple - you take it easy going on the outbound / warmup then you give it hell coming back. I only did 16.2 kms but the last 10 minutes was progressively harder until I go 5 minutes at close to or over max effort. Fall off bike at front door.

I've tried, I am incapable of pacing myself on a bike. The elliptical is ideal for me. Nothing is going to change my mind about this. Also going outside loving sucks and it is illegal to ride bikes on sidewalks here so you have to contend with cars which is not something I am willing to do.

I either ride up a hill or into a headwind on the way out (mostly the latter because it is flat as gently caress here). That way you can kill yourself on the way out and get home.

No it doesn't. And riding on the sidewalk faster than about 7 mph is a great way to get hit by a car.

It's been raining for 6 days straight and the temperature all over the place. And riding a bike in winter is also not ever gonna happen. I'm also not going to invest $500 in a bike and gear when I can keep on doing what I have been with great success.

Underfloor like that isn't as common for residential because install cost can be high and you don't get the ability to stack cars.


Count down to May chaos begins this week. Music festival Fri-Sun, vacation Tues-Sun, maybe go the 'The Vintage' then the E30 Brodeo the weekend after that.
