@houstonrunner not Russian, man. Hear me out.
Cows.
Smart ones, like in the Far Side cartoons. Getting blamed for global warming with methane pollution, so they knock out a gas pipeline. Getting killed for meat, so they knock out a meatpacking plant. Leather is next, my friend, you saw it here first
Saw a 2005 Cooper S for sale for market value. 90k miles. Ok. Clean car fax. Go on. One owner dealer maintained Maryland car. Gets in car to check it out
Get there and am looking it over. I just rained so the cars wet. Check the trunk, hatch struts shot, ok. No big deal. Go inside. See water in the back seat. Fuck. Check the headliner. Wet. With rust colored stains. Fuck. Pass. Tell the guy I'm not interested, point out leak. Say it's probably the sunroof. This motherfucker tells me it's because I opened the rear hatch. Like water leaking through the headliner is an acceptable fucking thing to happen when you pop the boot (it's a mini, yo). Goddamn it. Didn't think shady motherfuckers like this existed, but here we are.
The search will continue, with me properly armed with more knowledge.
Saw this is my new neighborhood, and I love it
I can see a snippet of a colorado plate, not sure what else.
Also, big old wagon
@looseonexit from their website: "Armory is the brutal weapon of choice when your vehicle must absolutely be victorious in the next dangerous off road operation. Straight from a battlezone, this wheel is the right weapon of choice with its bolted face - a dramatic statement of power that is perfect for the regiment of adventure minded tuners".
"This tactical style affirmatively radars an indestructible quality of explosive-proof looks to a whole new caliber"
This is goddamn awful. They're just fucking wheels. "Affirmatively radars"? What the actual fuck
@shop-teacher a lumber store went under in this market? What the hell?
@musashi66 Shit broke, yo - official diagnosis
Not a bad day, just a interesting day. Working on deconstructing our old house before it gets torn down, and had a charity pickup some stuff today. I ripped out a couple toilets for them to take, then noticed a odd, massive bubble in the ceiling paint downstairs. Poke whooooosh Fucking gallons, man. Jesus christ. No idea where it came from, the toilets where empty and water was turned off weeks ago, taps are dry. 
Good news, though, in that all the permits got turned in by our builder today. Thank goodness. Hopefully construction can start in March. Also, moving along and getting settled in my new promotion at work. It's temporary, but hopefully only technically. Im a supervisor now!
Lastly, Miata got taken out in the snow, because fuck it, that's why. Top down and all
@hammerheadfistpunch a nice chair goes a long way. Or an espresso machine
@monkeepuzzle awesome! I'd love to do this on the Miata one day
@bicyclebuck im happy i ran one, but never again. Its a miserable experience no matter how you do it, in my opinion. Want to have an easy time in training? Enjoy eating grilled chicken and plain pasta daily for months. Want to live your life and eat how you feel like? You're gonna suffer on those long runs. Its so hard hard to find a balance.
@hammerheadfistpunch man, that "refuses to allow his family to get vaccinated" thing is stunning. Ot necessarily the vaccination part, which ive come to accept the stupidity of. But the "refuses to allow". Any idea how I'd go for me if i refused to allow my wife to do something? Good lord. People like that exist?
@carsoffortlangley i ran a marathon in October, which means training through the summer. In Virgina, for me. I literally ran out of sweat one run. Just felt myself go dry, no spit, skin dried, nothing. Had to stop in a brewery for water and call home to get picked up. It was something like 17 miles into an 18 mile run, and just wasn't going to make it another 100 yards
@forsweden lol, Tulane fans won't ever travel. But at least there's a stadium on campus now. When i was there they put us in the Superdome. Could have for the entire student body in there and it'd still be empty.
@forsweden as a Tulane alumn, im conflicted. We used to be in the SEC! And they kicked us out for Vanderbilt! At best a lateral move!
But big XII would be nice.
@kiltedpadre is he pissing in someone's dashboard?
@carsoffortlangley i thought that was about a new "gawker" website, not the gizmodo group ones?
