I used to have a Tippmann 98 custom shop sniper w/ the flatline barrell and a remote tank that hooked on my belt. Shit was so fresh when I was in middle school :cool: I miss those days.... |

It was absolutely surreal how well the system worked. I wonder if I still have that disc somewhere... |

I've been scrounging the internet since then, trying to find that song.

If you heard it in the ultimate room, the piano spatialization was probably not part of the original track. It was probably synthesized by the 10.2 processing.

Here's a riddle for today.
Q: How can you tell if the clutch master cylinder on your car is the original 22 year old part with 210,000 miles on it? A: Trust me, you'll know when you remove it. |
Mmm, full of black gooey sludge?
In other news, I went to a Miata circlejerk, err...meet, this past Friday put on by the Peak to Peak Miata Club and was surprised to find that 5 of the 12 cars there were FI. Prior to that I'd only seen one other in town (FM1 with bandaids). And nobody else there was a member here, probably for the best after chatting with them (bunch of M.netters), but still a curiosity. Four turbo'd cars and one super (an NC with an FM built bottom end and Cosworth super...only making 225whp per the owners request...lol). Maybe it's just because FM is here in state? Are there really that many boosted Miatas running around? |
How come when I try to leave feedback for the people who bought parts from me, I get this:
There were the following errors: There was an error in your deal details! |

And when you play it back with buds or headphones your ears more or less receive what the fake ears picked up. I first tried this out when I was 13. I had a recording going on a dummy head. And my Mom came in and told me to come to dinner NOW. I forgot about that. Later I was listening to the recording and was not overly wowed. Then I "heard" Mom open the door and order me to dinner. I thought it was her! I was startled when I looked over to the door and noone was there... |
I wish that my car actually starting wasn't so exciting. (still dies w/o throttle input, so I'm good)

I have no idea how the hell my clutch was still working at all. The pedal had gotten a bit "loose" but if I pumped it a couple of times it came back. Was like that for months, finally decided to just replace the whole hydraulic system. The slave wasn't leaking much (as compared to how much they usually leak when they fail) but it was in rough shape, too. I think the only thing keeping the boot together was force of habit- it disintegrated as soon as I removed the slave cylinder from the transmission. Handy tip: changing the rubber clutch line is actually quite easy. Detach it from the upper hardline and mounting bracket, but leave it connected to the lower hardline. Remove the one bellhousing bolt which holds the bracket that the lower end of the hose is secured to, and remove the entire hose / bracket / lower hardline assembly as a unit. Once on the bench, photograph it from several angles before you disassemble it, so you can re-assemble it in the proper orientation before re-installing as a complete assembly.

I saw the rig that they used to make the recording, and it was as you described; a dummy head with anatomically-correct ears and ear canals, with microphones mounted where the eardrums would be. |
Welp, it's official..I have registered and paid for school. Will be starting with just two classes two days a week. 11 years after leaving highschool I have returned to being a student....with ID and a parking permit. This will be a new thing to get used to come August 26th. Now to play the "select my classes carefully" game so I don't take anything that won't transfer when I change schools in a couple of years.

This is what I did when I replaced my clutch line, except with a coolant reroute in the way that made it a PITA and getting the harness unclipped from the bellhousing bracket was a PITA. After that, it was a breeze....and getting it back in was a breeze. |

Sorry. Still very groggy from taking three Benadryl and large gin and tonic last night at 7pm. Was asleep by 730. But my sinuses feel better. |
I could dig it.
Side note- Brembos are off the car. Replaced by Wilwoods for future 15" wheel options. |
Hire an atheist. Get them off the streets and out of the courts:

Yes because all of us with a lack of religion are poor, homeless dirtbags in need of good treatment :rolleyes:

oh atheist...giving us non-believers such a bad name.
just another minority group that wants special treament while disenfrancishing another group. |

just because congress cant make a law, doesn't mean they can't cry about it.

"Silverman added that the memorial must allow atheists and other belief groups to include their own displays of equal size. " Mr. Silverman seems not to be aware that the World Trade Center Foundation, Inc. is a private organization, and is thus not compelled by the first amendment. On the other hand, I would love to see what sort of display American Atheists wants to put up. Would it be a 15 foot tall nothing, or a giant flying spaghetti monster made from twisted rebar? |
atheists dont believe in anything, so they are good.
plus there's nothing that says all interest groups have to have equal air time. |
|
I'm not a fan of goat milk/cheese. I do like when they hang out on roofs and eat/listen to metal.

who cares if they do? does it hurt you?
|
Yes. It hurts and bothers me. It bothers me that politicians are still using god/religion to swing votes or in any way using god/religion to make choices. It's all bullshit and repeated fairy tales should not be allowed to have room in any important decisions.
It bothers me that god/religion can be used to persecute people for things that are completely up to the person's own self doing, whether is be choices about what they do on Sunday, how they spend their money or what they enjoy doing in their personal time. It hurts me that my friends are afraid to experience life because they have had the bible shoved down their throat for the past 20 years. It makes me sick to my stomach that my friend was left in a ditch for 9 days and fed scraps because her PARENTS felt it was necessary treatment for someone who wants to descend from Islam. I can go on, but I am stopping here. That cross is nothing of importance and should be removed. |
yawn.
is using god to swing votes, any worse than using .5g of free pot to swing vote? |
Typical religious answer.

im a gay black athiest, dude.

Some Christians are assholes and hypocrites and some atheists are assholes and hypocrites and some Muslims are assholes and hypocrites and some Jews are assholes and hypocrites and some assholes are hypocrites. I'm thinking it's a human condition and not a religious one.

Bingo. I can't say how sick I am of shit like the Southern Christian Coalition suck various politician cock in order to get issues passed or tossed based on the moral weight of such issue and if it's for or against one's religious practice. I also disagree with public government buildings being used as extentions for churches (like my high school is used for the neighboring church on Sundays because they are over capacity). I've grown up with a complete lack of religion and thus have no moral commitment to one belief or another, but I do know the difference between right and wrong and how to be nice to my fellow man (when I want to be)....does that make me evil? To some it does, which is a sad fact. Using religion as a crutch is such bullshit. I believe that many of these religious groups are the reason our contry makes a bigger deal over gay marrage then the rights of everyone in general and those who have been violated since 9/11 and fixing our own budget. Yes, if these wackjobs who push and get all up in arms about the gays getting married would focus their energy on things that really matter, it would benefit everyone and not just their selfish asses. That is just one example to me...I could go on and on as well. And Scott, yes, using the Bible to barter vs. .5oz of naturally growing substance is worse...at least marijuana is a fact that can be see, felt and explained....and isn't a fictional book ;) |

COMPLETELY out of place... does anyone know anything about the Honda R series engines from the newer Civic? All aluminum 1.8 with 10.5:1 compression. Seems like it might be a decent engine. I've been out of the Honda scene since before the K series stuff, so I'm far out of my element.
