In the South, cutting and damaging Public Ed is being used as a way to kickstart private religious schools and force parents to either apply to a private Christian school or look in vain for a suitable public school.

There are 4 Christian Middle/High School charters within 10 miles of my house now.

Hey at least Gwinnett county has a sizable tax base and general affluence to support larger schools. We have neither of those in Hall. Well, we have Flowery Branch, which in and of itself is an example of horrific, racist gerrymandering specifically to benefit the Governor's grandson and ugh I just don't even want to talk about this again

Oh god both you guys are stuck in the Gwinnett/Hall suburbs?

I lived in Buckhead and Decatur for a few years during undergrad at State. Originally from Flowery Branch, and right back here, now. I start a new job in Gainesville on the 1st (oh yeah, forgot to tell you guys about that, hell yes!!!) and as much as I love it and would want to have a reverse commute it just doesn't make sense to live in the city and commute an hour and half again. Maybe in a few years I can find a job ITP and move back. Being literally 4 minutes from the sailing club is nice, though.

Congrats on the job. Still going to Wurthersee?

Yeah, man! The RV is giving me fits--hooked the water system up yesterday and it started pissing water all in the galley, and I'm still waiting on the freight company to show up with the new slide-out awning, and the e30 wont bleed even with a brand new GDCS, so, lots to do! But I'll be there, don't worry. Are you just going Saturday? We're heading up Friday mid morning to setup camp and hopefully get through town before it turns into a *total* poo poo show.

Last year I saw an aircooled bug, I poo poo you not, swap a transaxle he had chilling in his roof rack in, right on main street in front of the fountain. VW guys are crazy.

My favorite teacher in highschool was this hilariously overweight redneck. He was probably only in his mid-late 30s. Sharp as a loving whip, though.

His favorite insult/threat was, "I will bury you in east Tennessee!" Where he was from.

Also,

Engineering type question for you guys. We want a more accurate method of measure fuel left in the tank on the race car since the stock gauge is pretty poo poo on the track and the empty light stays on solid when we have 3+ gallons left. For aviation use they have fuel totalizers which are really nice and would do what we want but they're expensive and we're cheap bastards. I'm trying to figure out how we could make one with a couple flow gauges and maybe a Rasp Pi. That or find a cheap one.

That shouldn't be too hard with flow gauges assuming a complete fillup every time

Hey, how far are you guys going to be from the main show grounds at the car show?

Pretty far north. I know you just moved recently so I doubt you're that familiar with helen, but, if you go through town and go to that gas station right past the left hand 90*, there's a 3 way. Hang a right there, I think the road is 384? and we're about 5/6 miles that way. After we do our morning drive Sat morning, we're planning on parking the BMWs at the campsite and riding down in the B5 and C---whatever the gently caress it is, first gen allroad, Avants and parking those in the corral parking since they're the only VAGs we'll have.

For those of you not friends with me on facebook,

quote:

Let us pray. Oh, straight six, our God in charge of 50/50 weight distribution, as we enter into this most holy of weeks, where we begin the sacred rite of SoWo prep, we ask for your guidance and protection, oh Lord. We ask for the wisdom to protect our lips from curbage and the guidance to avoid drops which might damage our diffusers. We ask for your guiding hand over our valve trains, that they might not float, oh Lord, even though we may downshift to redline, oh, greatest God. And also for our clutches, that they might not slip even though they are worn and tired from us beating the ever loving poo poo out of them and that one time when we were drunk and did that one-two at redline and the rear subframe felt funny.
We pray your blessings upon the rite of soap and water that we are about to revive to save that one last bit of clear coat, oh Lord, the sacred sacrament of your body, such that our chariots are pleasing to your eye, oh, father, and that they may be a guiding light to those who do not know the one true path to salvation, through you, oh, loving God.
We would also ask your blessings upon our livers, oh, Lord, as someone shall definitely be drunk enough to ring the bell which buys a round for the table at that one bar, oh, God. We shall also ask your guiding hand upon whoever that poor gently caress may be's wallet because God knows he's not getting out of there cheap.
We ask your blessings upon the loving pigs, oh loving father, may they all loving die in a fiery crash off the side of a mountain this evening, oh all knowing God.
But mostly, oh Lord, We pray that that one vagfag that would have the gall to call out my BBS reps would be shown the log in his eye, oh Lord, as the splinter in mine and that he be thusly smited, yeah, dude, I'm sure your loving mkiv gti is real hot poo poo--come at me or gently caress off, goddamn oval office.
In the name of straight six in the front, manual transmission in the middle, and drive to the back, Jeremy Clarkson, and bourbon, we humbly ask these things in your name, oh, loving God, master of all in your realm, amen.

Stadium Arcadium is one of those albums that suffers from goodness-fatigue. Like, yeah, I have absolutely no problem listening to the entirety of the 123 minutes. The only album I've ever listened to in its entirety cover to cover more being Incubus' Morning View, but, drat, if the good songs aren't just that much better than the rest of one of the most definitive Peppers works.

I'd also like to personally thank the dude who uploaded this vinyl flac rip of the entire album in 2.8k kbps @96khz. I'll take your 1.15gb/song sizes and raise you a 3tb hdd, sir! :filez: :getin:

SoWo tomorrow and its a Friday so I'm doing the least amount possible. Hooking a buddy up with the West Marine discount for what would be 1200$ worth of paint retail and he's footing me half the difference. Also need to test the freshwater system and install the new slideout awning before my buddy leaves to take the RV up. Sloughing off work around 5 to head up there, about a 1.3 hour drive, and calling out Saturday. Hopefully they don't fire me but at this point, gently caress em, got a new job that I'm starting on the 1st and I've had this planned for awhile and I couldn't even have asked off on this day if I had made it a stipulation of my employment here 2 months ago..

Thanks again for coming up, Commie, let's do it again next year. You make it up to Chattanooga alright? I'm uploading the raw footage to youtube, now.

Also! You totally missed it, about 8 last night, Helen PD had to shut down main street because a crowd had gathered at the bridge and was goading everyone into doing burnouts. Will Brown has the footage on his phone, I'll get it from him. In the meantime, the city put this together that I'm watching right now.

I thought about posting the lyrics to this in response to all the addiction problems it seems have been going around AI recently.

Don't get me wrong, everyone has their demons, for sure. I've been known to indulge beyond my limits--with disastrous results--on more than one occasion. But, occasionally, you've gotta just step back and objectively look at your life; reevaluate what you've been doing and what your priorities are. Love you guys. Stay safe out there.

Since it's nsfw and might be offensive to anyone not raised on hip hop, here's the video itself. Bless you, our patron saints of Atlanta, Dre and Big Boi. (Bonus reference to the closure of the Doraville GM plant and an Audi 80? inside.)

Anyone who doesn't consult a cop for anything even potentially more severe than a traffic stop is loving stupid. And that's coming from a white dude from the south.

Anyone who posits "not all cops" gets about as much credence from me as me telling a woman, "yeah, baby, that's the first time that's ever happened."
Don't gently caress around with people who have literal unrivaled impunity from loving you hard and for no reason other than to make their day.

My wife and I may be buying a house in the next three weeks. It's almost perfect, two car attached and a two car unattached garage, 1400sqft, and while it's still on well water, we're going to see if we can negotiate the price lower to take into account the cost of hooking the house up to city water.

It's also right next door to my in-laws, which my wife absolutely loves.

Well water is loving awesome lemme go ahead and advise you to at the very least maintain the well as a backup source. It tastes infinitely better than city water, and if you have a fishtank you don't have to RODI the stuff so long as its low in minerals.
