younger taints are stronger taints?

Can't go fast when you don't know where you're going.

That is not that far, but months ago 5 miles killed me. Getting stronger, slowly.

Nice

sure but that's not the point. the point is that at that pace chamois isn't really needed since the friction isn't that intense just prolonged. I'm not criticising just pointing out that chamois is good for a kind of activity that you don't experience often/never so you can't really judge.

Good to know you're acquainted with his taint.

The sky is cloudy and it starte to drizzle. I don't think Im going to get to see the meteor shower tonight :(

Nagrom_ 12-14-12 09:59 PM

And there we have it. Mission Workshop Sanction has finally been bested. The truing stand didn't do it, it was the 17" MBP in its box.

It didn't fit, mang.

I'm completely sickened over what happened in Connecticut.

I just heard about the shooting. I wonder what will get blamed this time...

It's almost entertaining to see people take a stance against anything from Heavy Metal to video games. saw this earlier http://www.******.com/tb/14v6qw

Dannihilator 12-14-12 11:36 PM

The metal thing cracks me up. Always amongst the first things to be blamed, when it's really a mental disease issue.

Me too, but what's worse is how tragedies like this are becoming more frequent and even common now. The KC Chiefs murder/suicide, the shooting in Oregon and now this mass shooting in a fricken elementary school. The frequency is truly frightening. It's horrifying.

What? I purposely avoid the news so that I'm not depressed all of the time. Kind of like how I avoid certain people because they depress me. It works.



By the way, I wasn't trying to make light of this. I feel that it's tragic, and rather sickening that we live in a society where a 27-year-old can remember four school shootings (including college/university) in his lifetime off of the top of his head.

I just think that it's complete bull**** that games, tv, music, movies, and books get blamed. What about people just being ****ed in the head? Wanna hear something else that bothers me?

Black or Latino dude shoots someone? Menace to society and/or gang member.

Shooter was Middle Eastern? Terrorist.

White guy? He either played the wrong video games, listened to the wrong music, or has a mental disorder of some sort.

How is that fair?

Listen, if you get a gun, walk into a school (or anyplace, really), and start shooting innocent people for whatever reason, you are a severely ****ed up individual. Race, creed, social status, musical taste, what you do with your free time... These things have very little to do with the fact that you are not ****ing right in the head.

****.

I'm gonna go hang out with Basil Hayden for a while and go to bed.

I can't sleep, so I'm adding another thought to this:

Why is it that when a couple of kids die from drinking too much 4Loko it gets banned within weeks, but we have had a ****load of mass shootings and getting your hands on a gun is still pretty goddamned easy?

i do this too, i dont listen to the radio either and i dont even own a tv

the important stuff i hear 50 times in a day anyway ( such as this ) from my friends/family/coworkers

sinikl 12-15-12 02:00 AM

I am trying to think about this CT shooting only with my non-emotional brain, because as a parent, i just... no. cannot. do. so basically i'm sort of pretending it didn't happen, on some level.

Cause there's nothing in the constitution that says we're entitled to over caffeinated alcoholic beverages.

solipsist716 12-15-12 02:31 PM

Caffeinated booze is infinitely more fun than guns doe.

Today I feel hungover but I did not drink last night at all. Garage shop is almost ready. Even though I mainly want my own space I need to make some money with it.

hangover feeling=dehydration. maybe you're eating ramen to save up for goodies for your shop??

Nagrom_ 12-15-12 05:02 PM

Today I measured out and ball parked the fit on the caad. It should be within a half cm. This thing is gonna be comfy.
I am about a cm away from joining the Thomso/Homson club.

Pretty damn anxious. Wheelset should get here on Monday. I get cash in hand tomorrow for the laptop. I get the groupset Tuesday. Everything else is coming in the mail.

I hear you guys, but it's also a little dangerous to ignore or pretend. A lot of the people I greatly admire acknowledge it and don't turn away from the mass amounts of crappy things that happen. But they also don't let it bring their spirits down, instead they act and do something about it. Even if it's a small thing. But step one is acknowledging reality, no matter how horrific it is sometimes.
