Yeah it is, and to be fair I completely had $80 set aside to blow on this trip but apparently all of my coworkers aside from one were nerds and didn't want to go. And it's slightly aggravating that I had $23 from last night and somehow was $8.50 up on top of that tonight and was stupid enough not to walk away.

I just don't understand why. We're not gibbis, or 4chan, or even gaming or diy where you could lie about past experiences to gain internet respek. We generally have a smaller circle than those forums, and post about current projects, not past conquests. Also, we're all assholes, so pretending to be hurt has a 50/50 sympathy/schadenfreude response, unlike the 100% sympathy response of somewhere like PI.

There's a pretty awesome tricyclist in W&W right now, but don't think it was a choice.

I'm a touring cyclist who is too old and grumpy to call himself a mountain biker anymore (aka, I get annoyed by people who think you have to drop $4k per season to have fun), though that's how I started.

Well as I said before, his cancer story hit pretty close for me. My stepdad was diagnosed quite some time ago and I only recently opened up about it here. So if he was lying about that I hope someone rips off both his balls.

He's in way too deep on that for that to be fake. Facebook and some blog in Norwegian with hundreds of commenters who also speak Norwegian who seem to know him personally? Seems like a lot of work for a moon language maybe 3 of us speak.

The whole thing is just so loving weird.

full disclosure: I have never seen the space judge in person. Only on closed circuit TV.

Also I'd like to point out that Vidku is like 7 hours old at this point. There are features that ought to be added (comments on videos springs to mind, also group permission delegation), so don't be shy with feedback. Post more videos, it's fun.

the app tells me that a video was liked but I don't know which one, and when I try to filter by liked it just says "no results found" Also the icon on the home screen is too small.

All in all it's actually kinda cool. It really makes me want to get a project car I know nothing about so I can better ask you guys "what do?"

Okay so the past three days I've been addicted to Wheeler Dealers. I can say that I love the show, even though I had seen it before on TV. Why do I love the show? Because on the computer I can skip most of Mike's bits and get on with the fixing, and when they're done fixing it, I can skip to the next episode.
