    Just because I'm an asshole doesn't mean I don't have good taste cavete terrae.

    Don't mind if I do. cavete terrae.

    Just watched a movie with this chick in it, and damn! cavete terrae.

    Fine by me What sucks is dodgeball these days, they use FOAM balls, and can't aim for the head. Wtf is the point if you don't get to tag someone upside the head with the stinging red rubber ball that sounds the Echo Of Justice™ upon impact, and little Billy's head snaps back and sends into flight a string of spit like a grappling hook cast by a ninja? cavete terrae.

    I've got a really good vegetarian stuffed deep dish pizza that I invented, but it's several hours to make. Want it? cavete terrae.

    I actually stacked the bike a while back, girl walked out in front of me without looking. If it was a guy, I'd have hesitated to sacrifice myself, but I couldn't run down a girl. So given the choice between crashing into a car to stop or bleeding as much speed as possible before crashing, I got on the brakes to slow down as much as possible. Went up on the front wheel, realized I was past the point of no return, and jumped. Hit on my feet, PLFed (seriously!), and stood up, Had to adjust the seat of the bike, and I scraped my elbow, but pretty much ok. Turns out the chick wasn't even hot But c'est la vie cavete terrae.

    Yeah, I posted a rant a while back in Speaker's Corner that summed up my views. The pussification of the world is rather scary. Nobody is willing to take responsibility for their own actions, and they want to legislate their opinions, not what logically makes sense. cavete terrae.

    Physics 101: the force of impact your head will have falling from a bike at 10 mph is EXACTLY THE SAME as from a motorcucle at 50 mph. Hitting a wall is another story, but the vertical force is the same. Dont war a helmet if you dont want to, but dont be crying back to us if you end up with a open cranium. I was in 2 bike accidents where all I had was road rash and cuts, thanks to the helmet. Sure, I know that. It's a calculated risk. Yes, I CAN get hit by a car in the 1.5 mile round trip to the store, but I'm willing to take that risk. I've got my own lane here, unlike a motorcycle would, so I'm a bit more willing to ride without a helmet, and I'm a hell of a lot less likely to crash a bike than I would be a motorcycle. So I figure it's not the end of the world. cavete terrae.

    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I more or less agree For me, if I get hurt doing something, I get to play the "was it worth it? Would I do it again?" game. Usually it was, and I will Just because I'm intelligent doesn't mean I'm smart cavete terrae.

    Yeah, turns out there is actually a law even for adults. I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Victoria, the state I'm in, is known for nanny laws, but this one is above and beyond. cavete terrae.

    So help me Xenu, I'm going to start riding around in a Darth Vader mask. "Hey! It's a helmet!" cavete terrae.
  14. grue
    I'd wear one on a motorcycle or something, but on a bicycle? I have my limits of what I'll put up with in the name of safety If I were on a BMX or something and being a fuckwit on jumps and stuff, sure. For a quick ride to get some juice? Unlikely. cavete terrae.
  15. grue
    What the fuck? He actually told me to walk the bike home and not ride without a helmet. Granted I just walked it until he was out of sight and took an alternate route, but holy hell, nanny laws are getting out of hand. cavete terrae.

    We'll see. In any case, people are the problem, not the tools they use. I'm not even pro-gun (or anti-gun for that matter), but I know enough to be able to see that the gun isn't the problem, it's the person using it. cavete terrae.
  17. grue
    This is nothing new, it's not a recent trend. Yes, this incident is the worst thus far WITH GUNS, but killing sprees at school have been happening for a long, long time, and the worst one ever was EIGHTY YEARS AGO, where a man killed 45 and injured almost 60 little kids. Overall, it's sad, but not surprising. The US is, as a whole, a very violent country. cavete terrae.

    No shit. The whole "rent" and "bills" thing makes doing hundreds of jumps a bit tougher. cavete terrae.

    Something big and slow. cavete terrae.

    Even though my home DZ was a Cessna DZ for 2/3 of my skydiving career, I have more turbine jumps than Cessna jumps. We have a 182 and a 206, but Mullins came in for our summer boogie each year, and I also went to Eloy for the Holiday Boogie in 05. Being able to pound out 8-10 jumps a day does wonders for making up for 3-4 in a day with Cessnas. That having been said, the bat-hang is still my favourite exit cavete terrae.

    The problem comes when he doesn't mention spoilers in the title, like last week. Since I never go into spoiler threads, I didn't realize he was the one doing it. So I popped in expecting a discussion of the show, and got my evening ruined for my trouble. Now I've got him ignored and his posts are automatically removed by my browser, so the problem is permanently solved. cavete terrae.

    Yeah, I thought about one of the little inline amps, but they're really a bit too big and clunky, and then I have to worry about batteries and stuff. My extra iPod is only about the size of the last digit on my thumb, so it's not going to take up my room, especially the way I'm gonna install it. I think I have my plan, I just need to get my hands on a cheap pair of over the ear headphones to try it cavete terrae.

    Cool. I'll keep that in mind. Wanna know something great? This is the last one of your posts I'll ever have to see. If I believed in god, I'd thank him for javascripts. cavete terrae.

    Oh, it has a volume control. It just doesn't use a knob I'll figure something out. I always do. cavete terrae.
