Boaz MacPhereson posted:Alright, question for the electrical nerds. All the wiring in the Nova is going to be getting redone (eventually) and while I've been gathering ideas, I'm still fuzzy on some parts. Split from a terminal post or battery cutoff switch that'll feed both the starter and the terminal/fuse block. Really, the using the starter pole as a terminal post isnt the worst idea, but would probably make your wiring less modular and more of a pain.

LloydDobler posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o41A91X5pns I'm far from a goody good boy. The difference is: I severely dislike how alcohol makes my brain feel, I work in sectors where if it ever got out that I took drugs, I'd be ruined. Permanently. I have severe asthma (thanks Air Force) so smoking is a no, and Audi/VW is an expensive enough hobby without spending it on vices like that. Seriously, I've got....like 5 Audis now. That's more expensive than a drug habit/drinking habit as it is, and makes me happier anyways. Cars are my meditation, and I'm just a realist at heart, but makes me appear like a pessimist to everyone else. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Nov 2, 2017 |

Applebees Appetizer posted:Whatever man, it's been that way forever and is not going to change. The NFL is awesome and so is college football. Appeals to Tradition is a logical fallacy, you know that right? gently caress football, gently caress the NFL using our Education System as its free-to-them recruiting system, and gently caress the whole thing for leeching on ACTUAL needs of college students in favor of bread and circuses for the rich and wealthy to dip their hands into to keep themselves rich. http://www.businessinsider.com/university-new-hampshire-football-stadium-scoreboard-librarian-donated-million-dollar-estate-2016-9 quote:Alumna Claire Cortese wrote a blog post vilifying the school's decision, identifying UNH's art and photography departments, and student publications — which have received funding cuts in recent years — as more worthy recipients of Morin's money. She also drew attention to the fact that the school just completed a $25 million renovation of the football stadium. gently caress your sport.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Jesus Christ. Aren't you leaving the country anyway? Guess you won't have to care anymore then huh. Does that make it okay then? I'm leaving, ergo the money suck that is college football is okay? I know I'm being an rear end in a top hat here, but c'mon now. You don't get to openly say "HOORAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL!" and then ignore the very real consequences of the sport you praise will have on generations to come because you wanted to watch a game. Changing that viewpoint is essential to changing the overall ethos. Its not about me being an rear end in a top hat, which I get that I am, its about facing the reality that you are creating through ignoring what its actually doing to the country at large.

Dannywilson posted:Ronin is probably the best modern car movie in the way that Heat is probably the best modern guns movie. But neither of them are popcorn movies, which is what the FATF franchise movies are from 3 onward. Yes, the first two are really, really bad, but after Justin Lin took the helm, he turned it into something you could kinda turn your brain off, watch, and be entertained; it just happened to also have cars and over-the-top stunts with cars. And that's why I can't watch them. Don't get me wrong, I get WHY people like FATF. I do. But I can't do that. I'm just that big of a nerd. Its also why I don't go watch things in theater anymore.

Meh, Mike had his moments, but he too often inserted his political commentary into the show and generally just wasn't as capable as coming off both dead pan and hilariously goofy as Joel. That's just my opinion though, I can see why people liked Mike.
