OPEN BAR: it rubs the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again

I'll be getting a new bike shortly. My guess is it's going to be a $200 Wal-Mart Huffy, because there is no way I can get a better brand.


Yes, even bikes at Wal-Mart are $200.

I'd look for a used bike. I got a sweet Specialized Sirrus in my size for $250. Most stores don't even stock my size so it would have had to be a special order, which means my odds of finding it on sale were more or less nonexistent. They aren't an expensive bike to begin with, but half-price is half-price.

Oh those wacky jet mills! 

A bolt snapped off the feed conveyor and went through the venturi (into the ceramic lined interior) at roughly 600 miles per hour.  All the guts went shooting up the discharge pipe and into the baghouse, where they ate the fucking rotary valve.

$60K, easy, and out of production until Monday morning.

Why does it seem like something like this happens EVERY week?

Because Mike the Engineer is not alone. :P

Because we run the machines at 98% capacity, with no downtime for maintenance or inspections, and these machines were designed for clean environments, and are running in an acid atmosphere.

THIS jet mill is the one that's been behaving for 2 years.

That . . .

That . . . doesn't seem safe, somehow.

It's encased in a steel shell.  No real danger, just expensive as fuck.

Just ran into an old member of PD on Facebook (not gonna name names) who was complaining that he didn't like facebook because he doesn't see everything in his feed and it's hard to find old posts.  He suggested that someone build an alternate platform.

I reminded him that he had an alternate platform (here), and he left it for facebook.

He replied that he was too "grown up now" for PD now.



I'm 45 fucking years old, and if I ever "get too grown up" for PD, I expect Nigel, LMNO, and ECH to kick me to death for my own good.

Yeah, that's kind of ridiculous.

March Madness for Bear.
I get to see Dropkick Murphy's,H.I.M,Children of Bodom,Anathem,Death Angel, and Tyr.

Feels good man. Tonight I get to go see Owl Witch, and Metal Church.

I'm convinced that the myth of growing up is something that only the most naive child or borderline retard could ever buy into

One gear bikes are an abombination in the eyes of the LORD.

One gear bikes break down less often. Also, handlebrakes suck. More like handle-breaks am I right? I prefer a one gear bike with backpedal brakes (no idea what the proper english names are). I try to minize the number of parts because i tend to break stuff.

That is a coaster brake.

People often say, "What about climbing hills?" Oh, you mean that thing I do passing lycra covered bike jerks who passed me 10 minutes ago without signaling while shouting "PASSING ON YOUR LEFT!" while their legs spin around like a dead hamster trapped in a wheel?

I fucking LOVE hills, my legs love them, my smug sense superiority loves them.

Same here!
The only result of having infinity gears is that your muscles get trained to go at a single speed with a single measure of force. This makes your legs useless for anything else.
You are still moving the same mass over the same distance with the same friction so gears are only for world championship cyclists who need the placebo effect of gazillion gears and a shiny helmet.

I'm surrounded by more nature than I ever really wanted. I have an actual yard, with towering pine trees and this stuff called fresh air. The ocean is 5 minutes away, and there are mountains an hour away. There's scenic shit everywhere. Roger would hate it.

Can I move in with you?

This place is the opposite of Providence. Even their Chinese food cost twice as much and took three times as long to deliver.

They snowblow and bobcat everyday, even when it didn't snow on order to remove the melt. People are nice and helpful, but they still can't drive and do it legally without seatbelts. O.o then there's the tax free everything.

Alright I'm done with the colonoscopy. They removed what they assume is a pre-cancerous polyp so I should be all set. Looks like I'M DOING THIS EVERY FEW YEARS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE YAAAAY.

[Cain]

I'm pretty sure "Ass Polyp" used to be a set user title on this forum, determined by your postcount.

FUCK YOU MY UNCLE DIED OF ASS POLYPS

[Eater of Clowns]

But yeah I remember the glory days of being an ass polyp, you know, before I had them.

I am extraordinarily grateful that they caught this and will continually screen for them, though, since I probably wouldn't have ever been in a situation where they'd look for one until 22 years from now, when the problem would likely be far, far worse.
