nm posted:An activity that is fun (like cycling, but other work) is more sustainable long term than just getting on a machine and exercising in one place. Applebees Appetizer posted:What's the difference between riding in place or seeing the same scenery every time you ride? I have a bike that I ride for enjoyment on the beach and trails, and I have a spin bike for daily exercise because quite frankly I've lived in this area for 30 years and it all looks and feels the same, so I'd rather not ride in the stifling heat or on busy roads with idiot drivers in an area that's no different one day to the next no matter how many routes I take. When I have time and the weather is nice and I want to enjoy myself, I put my bike on my car and go to the beach or local trail for a ride. When I just want to have a quick leg workout I jump on the spin bike. It's nice having both, and I have plenty of other activities that keep me outside so I don't need to be out on the roads. Darchangel posted:I did play the closed beta of Quake Champions a little over the weekend, and I can say that they're on the right track. It feels like Quake, anyway. As I hear it, Overwatch has a lot of the fast-paced shooter feel that Quake Arena used to, and I guess Halo still does. I do like playing the fast paced FPS games like I did as a yoot. I also still suck mightily at them, and boy has it been a while since I played with mouse and keyboard. I mostly game on the Xboxen, but I recently got a 2011 iMac that has a decent enough processor and graphics card to run newer games on Win 10. Until then, I had an old Mac Pro from 2008 or 9 with a dual-core 2.8 GHz Xeon. slothrop posted:For fucks sake. Ordered some boots over a month ago from eBay. Now there's a circlejerk of blame. Seller blames Customs, Customs blame Australia Post, AusPost blames the seller. I waited 1/2 and hour on the phone for AusPost to tell me gently caress all this morning and an hour and a 1/4 on hold with customs to get nothing out of them. What a bunch of cunts. Way off topic but what's the smallest enclosed trailer you would tow a ~14.75 foot car in? I've started trailer shopping and plan to keep it small to help keep weight down since I'm towing with the Tacoma. I think a 16' v-nose would be a little tight but a 18' might be ok. Will probably go look at some trailers in a couple weeks when I have some time and take a bunch of measurements.

Lot of catch up after a week and change away...Fo3 posted:Looking at a bmw as well, but people not so helpful in AI anymore it seems. Anyway, people are just starting to chuck any motor in e30 and e34 and I think they're a good buy if I just get a nice stock one and hold onto it. GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I'm also looking to get a trailer so I don't have to pay someone to move me. I think taking a load of stuff up with us every time we visit the wife's parents is much more preferred than paying someone to gently caress up my walls and furniture again. Also I'd get a trailer out of it so that's good. funny Star Wars parody posted:Some people's parents try to force their children to have these insane $200/person weddings while not helping at all with the expenses and the kids dont have the balls to tell their parents to gently caress off scuz posted:Friend of mine with more money than he knows what to do with has a big interest in getting this old firehouse and living in it while converting the lower level into a full-on wrencher's paradise. I'm egging him on hard because living vicariously through a friend who has a firehouse seems like a good idea. monsterzero posted:I call 178lbs my get-hurt weight. Geoj posted:I'm more surprised at his ability to find a bank willing to write a note for that much on a nearly 30 year old car. Got sick on vacation, still feel like poo poo. But being sick on the beach beats being sick at home. Even sick vacation was much needed and went well. Race car is back in the garage.

Larrymer posted:If it's just a room, use powerline adapters. I ran one to my computer upstairs and it was as fast as if it was plugged right into the router. I had completely forgotten these existed. Sounds like a much better option than crawling around the attic, drilling holes in the wall/ceiling and running ethernet.

Almost over this drat cold that I picked up on vacation two weeks ago. Down about 10lb and have no energy. Been force feeding myself and doing half days at work this week, slowly getting back to normal. Pisses me off because I brought the race car home on the 15th and haven't had the energy to do much other than look at it.

Ether Frenzy posted:$750 will get you a full day in M4s and M3s with BMW's M Car Control Clinic which is well worth it BloodBag posted:I had a mini cooper and a Porsche 914 before I got married and through the joys of compromise over time I've never had a project car again. You think you know what's up but you really don't. It doesn't feel like change and the relationship stays the same, but in retrospect, it's a change and no it doesn't. New grinding sound on the 320i noticed this morning. Other than that it's running great and I'm just trying to put miles on it before taking it to the mountains next weekend. Really need to do at least a garage alignment and borrow a set of corner scales.
