Not a fan of the new layout.

Cluttered, counterintuitive. Seldom-used secondary features up front wasting above-the-fold space while heavily used features hide or need several clicks.

Fake tape, staples and paper clips? Come on. Repetition of keys. Too much space dedicated to calendar-format past comments.

...and where the fuck did Timmy go? Top eight friends? Another big leap towards MySpace, another answer to a question...

Hey man!
It is an "odd' car. An 83 Euro SC. Some European cars retained the SC moniker even after it was dropped in the US. It is a 3.2 and because of the Euro specs, engine, and modifications the car moves from F to E class stock (lb/hp = 12).
I am betting that your Si would kick my ass in autocross but the big tracks would be different!

One should certainly hope so.

yeah, thanks. I was on that like a fly on shit. But nope. She eats some other stuff. Not to mention that it's been turning out that the Vet was lying to me anyway, about her bloodwork and she certainly has cancer. It's so fucking lame, I just haven't been able to write about it yet.

I was just teasing of course about the Jiffy Lube crack. wink
You sound pretty knowledgable about said stuff.
I just couldn't resist after the disclaimer not wanting to " bore us"

Yeah, It's tough. I'm so hating it. But she's had a good time. She IS 16 years old. But it's so hard watching her fail. frown

Let me be the 10,756,543rd person to say that I loathe this redesign, in particular the stalker-friendly comment display. Once again: style over function, increased clutter, counter-intuitive, less direct usage for the functions used most.

C'mon guys and girls, this is (for the moment) a step backwards.

Believe it or not, the blame is on Jack. Well, in his defense, it did involve some nail trimming, but he has never done that before. Back feet hurt. blackeyed

Road trips are so much more fun when you don't have a cold.

Or a loaded 30 foot long 10,000 lb. trailer.

That you have to unload and load 3 times in 7 days.

This seems a awful lot like work. Can I sleep now?

The problem is that there is a huge double standard whether you care to admit it or not.

Someonoe posting anything anti-bush, whether it is supported or not or whether it is totally illogical or not is lauded and held up as some kind of deep-thinker. Someonoe posting anything resembling conservative thought is blasted.

I give opinion in response to others giving opinion and I am told I must go spend time finding a link to support my opinion while the rest are just accepted as fact.

Thanks for your comments.

I disagree. We have had quite a few wingnuts of various extractions (including left) who have spouted nonsense and have been laughed off the boards. You haven't been here long enough to draw such broad generalizations.



I would suggest that you consider the possibility that your personal views are biasing your conclusion.

I will take your word for it that left-leaning posters have been challenged before, but I've seen quite enough to conclude that this is obviously a very rare occurance.

Please don't misinterpret my comments regarding the fact that conservatives are a minority here. (at least among the vocal members of the site) They are not meant as any kind of excuse. It's a statement of fact. When I post a conservative viewpoint, I am confronted by numerous others at once Each of them has one post to challenge while I have all of them to answer. I don't mind, but it's time consuming and that's time I'm not willing to devote right now. (wife, kids, job, 3 hour commute, etc.) You can look at that as an excuse if you want.

I will continue to express my views as I have time. I welcome the opportunity to discuss politics (and many other issues) with those willing to share their own ideas in a civil manner. I look forward to participating in such a discussioni with you in the future.

Soooooooo, things have cleared up rather nicely.

I bought another battery charger and got the big one out of storage, bringing the total to four, just right. The Focus got fixed and went home, hopefully to be traded in and never heard from again. The first longterm motorcycle project is done and driving for the moment, awaiting tags.

...and I saw Pirates II, which was...
