That beak is awesome. Looks like an eagle from the side, and a Battlemech from the front. It's kind of a shame that just managing to get on it would likely be akin to visiting the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde for me.

Tsaven Nava posted:Jesse James. He posts around ADV frequently enough, mostly in JM. Yeah he's kind of an rear end in a top hat, but in the best possible way, not the "Oh I'm so famous" way. And half the people in the threads are usually all HAY UR NOT THE REEL JESSIE JAMS POST A PIC OF UR WIFE SHES HAWT. I kinda figured that the whole " JESSEJAMES posted:You spelled my name wrong....... thing would have been all the hint anyone needed. That and the fact that dietcokefiend's link went to one of Jesse James' posts on ADV...  Although, I do sheepishly admit wanting to go sample the fare at his (James', not DietCokeFiend's) restaurant in LA now.

Tentacle Party posted:I cant find a better picture but this is how you carry food on a bike. For the first few weeks I saw these in glorious nippon, I thought they were some sort of electric contraption. The spring at the top looked like a ceramic insulator to me. They are pretty rad, seeing guys hoon around on them with a big bowl of ramen on the back, the tray staying perfectly level and safe. For those that can't 'see' it, the two arms that are raised at 45* pivot down, and serve as guides for the metal 'cage', which is attached to the green plasti-cloth on top, which comes down around the tray like a tent, trapping heat. The whole contraption is on a pivot, and the black thing is a shock absorber - the whole thing also rides up and down on the small vertical rods next to the shock - soaking up both swaying and bumps. Brilliant, I say.

Of course there are the type who just get agitated because they are fragile people who desperately need something to feel cool about and don't want you telling them otherwise, but I don't think that they account for a lot of it... I mean, really - honestly - how many guys in the whole of the U.S. are so very dedicated to being a pro that [/b]they've already quit their day jobs[/b] to do so. 300? 500? How many of those super-dedicated guys are there that also spend lots of time posting on internet forums about it? Conversely, how many more are 'casual' stunters who have day jobs, and the time to sperg out about it on the internet night after night? The threads seem to hold the proportion of A to B that I'd expect. (i.e. Many more of type B...)

Slim Pickens posted:Considering you could get a used one of these for under 4 grand on craigslist(probably under 3 if you look hard enough), It's giving me ideas. A narrower tank, drag bars and wrapped pipes would go nice. Phat_Albert posted:Someone in your IT department is a gooooooooooooooooooooooon We use Bluecoat, which works a little bit like a NetNannyWiki. Your IT Security guys put in a set of rules that reflect the language contained in your corporate Acceptable Use Policy, and Bluecoat simply categorizes sites/URLs based on the input of *all* their userbase. If you come across a site that is blocked, but miscategorized, there's a link on the "blocker" page that you can use to report the page to Bluecoat (suggesting more accurate categories), who re-reviews it, and updates the categories appropriately. Example: "Firearms" is a category of website/information called out specifically in our AUP. Several years ago, when I was far more active in the hobby, I found a lot of Airsoft sites were blocked as being "Firearms/Weapons Related", and I sent along update requests for them, and they were usually unblocked within 24 hours. So, apparently, forums.somethingawful.com is less something (less) awful than https://www.somethingawful.com. Go figure. Kenny Rogers fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Feb 25, 2010 |

He did such a fine job it didn't need filler before paint.

Endless Mike posted:Whatever. Everyone cruises along at 75-80 in a 55. Even Great Great Grandma in her Buick. Then, out of the blue, everyone *PANIC STOPS*, and you crawl along for a half mile or so at 10-15 MPH, then, just as out of the blue, everyone races away back up to 75. No accident, no stall, no obvious cause of the slowdown. Just...magic poo poo your pants brake check zones every so often. On the other hand, for the last 8 years or so, when I've (rarely) had the unfortunate circumstance to find myself on I-25 during rush hour, I've used this guy's theories and practices, and have found that they do seem to work: A) I rarely, if ever, come to a complete stop, even if everyone else does. B) It's only the occasional person who will get impatient and get out of my lane - and I usually re-pass them within a couple of minutes. C) It's a 'game' to see if I can get where I'm going without stopping. It keeps me entertained and upbeat in an otherwise lovely situation.

hayden. posted:I've tried this a lot in Texas and it just doesn't work. 80% of drivers will pull out in front of you and fill the gap, even if it doesn't put them any farther ahead. People are attracted to traffic gaps like bugs to a light. Last time I was in DFW, it worked fine for me travelling back and forth (and back and forth and loving back. and. forth.) from Arlington to Fort Worth - if they're actually managing to fill the gap up so that you have to come to a stop, then you're maybe not leaving a big enough gap. There's a spot here in Denver on southbound I-25 where I can see a long, long way (almost 2 miles) down the road. If I see tons of brake lights and stopped traffic, I'll let the gap open up to close to 500-600 yards or so, knowing that I can 'eat' that and not have to stop when I get there. Yeah, people jump in the hole, but that's sort of the point - to leave a hole for them to jump into, and leave a gap long enough (however long that has to be) so that you arrive at the stopped traffic wave just about the time it starts moving again. e: gently caress you, Top of the Page Post.
