Gents,

@Garman is building an Exocet. He gutted a donor car for that, and I asked him if I could buy the rear deck carpeting from him.
Being the nice guy he is, he dug into his garage and found the said carpeting.
He would like me to pay whatever is fair for it.
That is a problem, I have no idea how much it should be.

So, please help me, and tell me what a fair amount would be.
I believe that would be, you guessed it, fair.

Thank you.

Here's the carpeting:




And, here's your chance to envy the Exocet up close and in person...

I'd pay $20-30 for it. And then whatever shipping is to your country.

$40 - $70 USD seems to be the eBay price for NB rear shelf carpet.

I will trade it from him and send it to you for the cost of shipping. He will need things sometimes and I'm local to him. Just be patient.

There are a lot of fat people in Chicago.

Not nearly as many as in the southeast, but still far more than you'd expect to see in a major urban center, even one surrounded by the midwest in much the same way that West Berlin was surrounded by East Germany.

Even stranger, gross obesity seems to be skewed towards females by at least a 2:1 ratio.

This confuses me greatly.

After having been commissioned by God to take a survey of how mankind was doing on Earth, St. Peter now stood before his boss ready to present his findings. "Tell me, St. Peter, what have you found out?" God asked.
St. Peter told him "I'm very sorry to have to tell you this, but the people are behaving in a sinful manner. There's drugs, alcohol, murders, you name it…a regular Sodom and Gomorra. But the worst is this new obsession with oral sex. According to my survey, 88% of the population is doing it. I'm afraid it has reached epidemic proportions.”

"Hmmm," God said thoughtfully, "Do you have any recommendations as to what should be done to put an end to this sexual perversion?" St. Peter replied "I think we should send a message to everyone on Earth who engages in oral sex. The contents of that message should tell them exactly what will happen to them on Judgment Day if they do not stop this type of activity."

"That is an effective solution," God stated, "but I think that instead of punishing those who practice oral sex, we should reward those who refrain from it. Let's send a letter that's personally signed by me to each one of these good people." And so they did...
Do you know what the letter said?






So...You didn't get the letter either, huh???

I was drinking way too much alcohol and made a series of increasingly worse posts and comments. My most sincere apology to anyone who may have read my posts.

Is it to whip gophers, or is it made from them? Details, man.

It's a type of Lacrosse stick.

Six never really struck me as the Lacrosse-playing type, but who I am to judge?

Hmm, hope you're doing ok now. I guess my only question is . . . how long did it actually take you to go back and edit those last 390-ish posts?

BLUF: Looking for recommendations for media streamers that work with Playstation Vue (Roku, Androidtv, Amazon Fire, PS4, Apple tv, etc). Not liking the chromecast. Maybe get a NUC?

So trying to watch the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year turned out to be a pain. I cancelled my cable a month ago because they cranked up the price a whole bunch. The plan was to stream it from fiawec.com to the TV's browser, but it's blocked for US and Canada since they're showing the whole thing on Velocity. Playstation Vue has Velocity, so I signed up for a free 5-day trial.

My samsung tv doesn't seem to have a playstation vue app, so I got a chromecast ultra to stream it from the phone. Well, I thought the chromecast would just pull the feed directly, not through the phone with it's craptastic image quality. Now I'm streaming it through chrome on the laptop and sending it to the chromecast. Image quality is better, but this seems like way too much hardware to do this simple task.

Any recommendations on how to do this properly/easily?
