  1. Some folks are like that. I always get weirded out by "toilet ghosts"... The door opens, but you don' hear anyone come in. You exit your stall a couple minutes later and the batroom is empty. Toilet Ghosts are usually explained away as a Touch-and-Go. (Flying term meaning to touch your wheels to the runway but then fly away again) Nervous poopers will open the bathroom door but if they see any other occupied stall then they immediately turn around an leave. This avoids a Silent Feet Stalemate. Silent Feet is when someone in the stall hold the belief that nobody who hears you poop can ever know who you are, on pain of death. So they will wait in the stall until everyone else has left, waiting as long as it takes. When two sets of silent feet try to wait each other out you get a silent feet stalemate.
  2. I like being able to conduct my business without my foot being 12" from some other guy's foot. Yeah, it's like exit row seating as far as I'm concerned. If you're gonna be there anyway might was well get the extra legroom.
  3. Do you treat them like disable parking spaces - ie reserved exclusively for disabled folks? Or do you see them as regular stalls that just happen to have extra features for disabled folks?
  4. Showed my wife this video last night. Within 5 minutes we were debating the statement; "I don't know how you would measure that. (the number of revolutions of a tire within a mile) and we sat and calculated a formula based upon tire ratio (215/45 on a 17" rim came to ~850 revoutions. 400 revolutions would require a 4' diameter tire) Then we go into a heated debate about whether a slightly un-inflated tire would affect that number. She though the diameter of the tire woudl be affected by the bulging at the contact patch, and I argued that circumference remains the same unless the tire is almost flat. Total nerdgasm there.
  5. "Back to your mom's house. I'm just here grabbing more Trojans."
  6. Those girls could meet MY hammer any time they wanted. Or hammer my meat. Whatever they are into.
  7. ... and says; "Is that a camera?" while pointing at at the gopro mounted on my helmet. Me: "Yes it is." Him: "What's it for?" Me: "People usually lie when they cause accidents, this will keep them honest." Him: "How do you activate it?" Me: "I just press the silver button." Him: "So, when an accident is about to happen you reach up and keep pressing that button to get lots of pictures?" Me: Him: Me: Him: Me: "It's a video camera. It's always recording when I ride..." Him: Me: "I don't have to press the button during an accident." Him: "Video? That small? Oh, yeah - well I guess that makes more sense." Me:
  8. Meh. If nothing else, putting a 380 auto through that cyst would have made the video watchable.
  9. I'm on my mobile and did notice at first that the purple and black shirted "girls" are dummies too...
  10. Can't help but think I would have unloaded the gun first in case it wasn't just the cyst that went POP...
  11. I'm talking about the sheer war-zone quantity of shots. If this is celebratory gunfire (which I understand is illegal) then that's different than if there are dozens of murders all happening at once... Sure, it doesn't matter to the guy with a bullet in him whether it came horizontally or downwards at 45deg... I'm just in a state of disbelief that there can be any place in the US where there are dozens of violent gun crimes all happening at the same time within in earshot.
  12. I will make sure I'm eating a grape as I watch it.
  13. You should have given him the universal sign of "I saw you 1st" I'd have waved back at him with a disturbing amount enthusiasm - like a special needs kid who just saw his parents in the audience at a recital.
  14. So that was celebratory gunfire, not crimes in progress, right?
  15. ^ I would use a 1/4 nut in place the the wingnut - then I'd put the wingnut on upside-down so that the *base* of he wingnut comes into contact with the camera, not the "wings". Then a washer between the wingnut and camera. Much more adjustable fro direction of camera. That only works on the straight section between the risers, otherwise you won't be able to get it level facing forward. Won't work with clip-ons, of course. I have a GPS mount there right now. I'm really impressed with the vibration resistance there - I wonder if he's using a nicer camera with dynamic stabilization... Cheap dashcams/helmet cams will suffer more from vibration.
  16. When did I say that? The closest I got to anything remotely like advocating intentionally hitting it was when I said; "Don't hit it hard enough to damage your wrist."
  17. I'll try it with the liner on the way in to work, and just the mesh on the way home. Looking forward to a week of epic temperatures so early in the season...
  18. I got a Toumaster Intake 2 Air, on sale at IP for $160. Pretty much identical to my existing jacket except for the mesh. My regular jacket, even with liner removed, leaves me sweating like a pig on heat over about 80-85. Especially at red lights.
  19. I'll bear that in mind. It's a mesh with a zip-out waterproof liner and zip-out thermal liner. I can switch out the thermal liner and add a fleece in the mornings.
  20. And that he is a biker... Just picked myself up a new tourmaster air jacket to complement my winter jacket. Has zip-out liners but would be too cold under maybe 60 degrees. We'll see tomorrow morning.

  22. I have a front-facing cheapo ebay HD dashcam facing forwards from the windshield mount, and another facing rearwards from the cargo rack. My gopro (by far the best image quality) is on the top of my helmet. People give me funny looks sometimes, but it really gives the best coverage. My cameras are for in case of an accident so I go for coverage (where were the cars and what color was the traffic light) and quality (license plates) over watchability. I don't care if the videos are boring - I only watch them if something happens.
  23. The official cyst of OhioRiders. Casper is working with the trademark lawyers now. We will need you to tattoo "tm" on the bump If you just stab it with a needle then it will express under the skin (same effect as the heavy book approach). It would have to be lanced using a large bore needle. Just make sure it it sterile. I personally would not want to stick needles into my wrist. The structures in there are complex and delicate and you could do some damage if you don't know what you are doing. But video and youtube whatever you do.
