If you google something like "oxford comma stalin", you'll get to a funny comic on it. My problem is that when I found it on imgur (I wanted to print it and remembered seeing it somewhere) the top comment there read something along the lines of "it bothers me that the strippers are not on the...

I followed Jordan Peterson's (a clinical psychologist and professor) issue re: non-gendered pronouns and free speech (unrelated issue), so I stumbled upon his "New Year’s Letter to the World". He makes a statement that I find very interesting, and reminds me of many discussions on...

http://www.einstein-website.de/z_biography/credo.html I wanted to read the whole thing (it's short) after this quote was picked by Gavin from Zen Pencils for a comic. Apparently the essay was the consequence of him being tired with journalists asking him “Do you believe in God?”. But the last...

Interest rates apparently starting to turn around, fairly large political uncertainty... wondering if I should move a chunk to cash and get back in later, or just close my eyes and let long term figure it out

Some new details coming up; a friend saying he was shot when he was running away. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/16/columbus-police-shooting-tyre-king-bb-gun Fairly sure this will get discussion in the media going, so might as well have its own thread.

My laptop is not running as smoothly as it did when new. What do you guys do to "clean it up" besides defragmenting the drive?

As spin-off from the animated gifs thread. May be worth keeping it alive! I'll be sailing my 49er (finally) later this year; got a partner willing to teach me the ropes.

"The World is Our Playground" Trailer: https://youtu.be/FXj5s2tb7Os FXj5s2tb7Os It's a collection of vignettes, mostly freestyle jumps, some MX, bit of stunting and car drifting. 45 mins I think. Went to watch it in Hornslet last Sunday; was my 3.5-yo son's first time at the cinema. Half the...

... "you won't get hurt there", they say... https://www.facebook.com/MMjacksonstrong/videos/837094976338877/ :twofinger

https://youtu.be/n1GUQVo1Lps n1GUQVo1Lps This actually explains some of the behavior and phenotypes I see outside of the gym. I never set foot in there myself.

Oi barfz. The "mentoring" would be, almost surely, long-distance, since I live in Denmark. Here's the skinny: I have a 750 gixxer for the track exclusively. Bought it in October 2012, tracked it (a little) in 2013 and 2014, it's been gathering dust in 2015 because of two toddlers but that will...

Oi barf, I have this oldish laptop with Windows XP, which has no support from microsoft since a while. I'm thinking about switching to Linux for it. Is Ubuntu the right way to go? Background info: I worked on Unix workstations a little bit some ten years ago in grad school; have some basic...

I actually searched for a related thread in 1Rider but came up, to my surprise, empty. So here goes. During my most recent Sunday ride, mid-November in Denmark (think mid-December in the Santa Cruz mountains), I was reminded of the beauty of riding on what I guess is best described as...

If one takes to PM even though it is not requested by staff, is that moderated? Do violations of TOS (other than something way way over the line like, say, threats of violence) in such a PM lead to a suspension? Working example: Member A posts publicly "yo, B, shut up and go make me a sammich"...

Lots of talk of it deserving its own thread, but no action. Here it goes. The sound is like KTM hired somebody to tune the engine to evoke what sex on two wheels would sound like. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yDOhv0dsE_Y yDOhv0dsE_Y Bike pron? Gossip on which team will buy it? Riders? Post it...

On Danish media now. The Egyptian government confirms it. As far as I know, Sinai is where an international military cooperation takes place. I'm afraid this might be an excuse for Russia to go bananas. It worked for the US four years ago... Ok edit: Seems like they have ruled out foul play...

oops... I'm catching up with the thread but can't save all my comments for when I do (if I ever do catch up). So I'll move the non-Sepang bits that I find to this thread that came after this post and delete them from the brotogp. Apologies for inadvertently ignoring a request (since I hadn't...

I started with a rather innocuous question: what size numbers are used for plates? I know AFM has a rulebook where I'd probably find the answer. So I google "afm racing rule book" and see what I get (attached). The "This site may be hacked" message links to this explanation...

Post count was "demoted" years ago to the user stats, I guess to curb postwhoring. Just throwing an idea out: how about including "On the ignore list of X members" together with post count in the user stats? That way newbies and "casual" barfers can get an idea of whether to take this person...
