Seems like it’s the norm these days.

Because now people can’t admit their child who has had zero support at home, or they are just truly unintelligent is just dumb or a bad child like they used to. Although before they used to just dish out ADD medicine which had its own negative effects

Now they are special needs on the autistic spectrum and it’s hate speech to question their general intellect

My bad. Read it as private instead of public. Parents do that in public schools too?!? :ahwow:

Hondaracer 05-29-2020 01:21 PM

Again I’m not sure where the school is exactly but I’m sure given the catchment they expect private school experience at public school costs

Don’t forget schools are open. Slow down at school zones.

anyone have or used the Bowflex 552 or 1090.
Your thought on these. Are traditional dumbbells better?

StylinRed 06-04-2020 02:04 PM

I've used a lot of adjustable dumbbells, currently have the 1090s, you don't need to get the bowflexs you can go for a powerblock even (square ones) used those for awhile too. They're weights, just takes getting used to their shape I suppose

Where did you find stock for the bowflexs tho? Friend was looking to get a set too, but they've been out of stock for months

Does anybody know what the deal is with FXCanada?

We don’t have a cable package with Shaw, just internet.

Last night I searched up the rest of Sons of Anarchy and it’s on FX.
So I downloaded FX on my phone and on my FireTV.

I was able to use the bfs log in for Shaw and play Season 2 of SOA.
I didn’t have to put in any sort of payment info to access the content and curious why this is possible.

Take a look outside tonight and tomorrow night. It's the Strawberry Moon. I went into the kitchen just now with no lights on. Usually, I can barely see stuff with the tiny amounts of LED light from appliances and whatnot, but it was different. It was as if a spotlight was coming in from outside the window (south facing). The full moon will be brightest Friday night, but it's pretty darn bright right now.

I remember taking a trip down to Eugene Oregon to see the total eclipse of 2017. August 21st. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Once in a lifetime sort of thing. It was too close to where we live that I had to go. I will forever remember the sheer awesomeness of the event. A humbling experience.

Anyway.................

So 1 of the quickest ways to determine if someone is a completely lousy, incompetent piece of shit driver is to see how they perform when they take the Bridgeport road on-ramp, going northbound onto the Knight St bridge. It's an on-ramp, you're supposed to match the speed of the traffic you're merging with. The highway traffic is not obligated to nor is it safe for them to slow down drastically just because you're too stupid to realize that you have to catch up to them.

I'm on Bridgeport road taking this very on-ramp, behind some guy trotting along in a first gen ML SUV, going maybe 55-60 KM/h. This guy is making no effort to match the speed of the traffic on the highway.

In no way do I want to be stuck behind this guy when he later gets screwed trying to merge slowly onto the highway, so as we enter onto the bridge, I take a clear look in my mirrors and shoulder and try to pass this guy. I go from the merge lane onto the bridge, and now I'm in the shoulder lane. ML tries to merge his dumbass right when I'm beside him like a moron. I'm on the horn as a I go by to tell him in so many ways that he's an idiot and that I'm clearly an object that he doesn't want to collide with. He decides he's upset after I pass him, speeds up in front of me, and makes a pathetic attempt at cutting me off on the bridge.

I later see this idiot on Marine, he looks at me and shakes his head, like his ass was doing the Lord's work and he can do no wrong. I tell him to learn to fucking merge, and he just looks at me blankly and shakes his head, then flips me off.

Red first gen ML, license plate 108 something something, with a missing digit in your model 3x0, go fucking die in a fire. /rant

Anyone else having problems with chevron's pay-at-the-pump using their costco mastercard or mastercard in general? Twice in a week i ended up getting my card locked because of too many incorrect PINs at the pump. (and no.. I KNOW my pin.)

Asking the cashiers dont help as they only shrug and ask you to pay with another card. Im just waiting to hear back from their customer support. I wanted to see if anyone else is having issues like me.

Im gonna try going to shell tomorrow.

Can I use this thread to vent? I'm going to anyways.

If anyone thinks that they are cool driving a car with one of those fucking exhaust systems that pops, crackles and bangs loud enough every .04 seconds to sound like someone is shooting off an AK47 at a wedding from 4 blocks away. You are not. No one likes you, not even your mom. You are an annoying shithead.

So if someone knows the fucker in Richmond driving the late model, dark grey M3 that has this system installed, please do them a favor and tell them to remove that shit. M3 sounds good enough without that aftermarket abomination.

twitchyzero 06-07-2020 02:08 PM

nowadays some of that garbage comes factory in certain exhausts and/or drive modes
it's seriously embarrassing

Hondaracer 06-07-2020 02:29 PM

Almost every Newer M3/M4 has that stuttering report or whatecer you call it when it’s in a high gear and you’re off the gas, I kinda like it

Anybody suffer from neck pain?

Looking for pillow suggestions.
I watch YT vids, reviews, google it a few times a week.
Keep buying different pillows but haven’t found “the one” yet.
Starting to get angry about it lol

It might be an underlying problem that you want to see an RMT for!

MSREE, is your boyfriend being a pain in the neck?

whitev70r 06-08-2020 07:29 AM

Is there something wrong with the oranges supply chain? Started a few weeks ago with shooting prices, now I don't even see them in big grocery stores. I know, first world problems but still.

Yah, definitely looked like an F8X model. Was driving with another white one so maybe he was at the meet.

my gf spent prob $500 in pillows until she found the $8 one from ikea that she loves.. pillows are so personal, there's almost no point of watching reviews or getting recommendations for them.

Coworkers argue with their kids all morning. The kid doesn't want to go to school and wants mom to call the school to say they're sick. More often than not the kid wins.

When I was a kid, my parents were the last people I wanted to know that I skipped school. It's a different world

This is one pissed off MF!
