  1. I just got an email about harbor freight giving a 25% off coupon here. Its more than their usual discount, so I thought it might be of some interest to some of you. I did not see a black Friday coupon/ discount thread, but I guess this is the very start of it (since its technically Thursday only)
  2. Out of 4 brothers, your dad is the one living at the end of the year. I think that is a testament to his strength alone. He does not seem like the kind of man that would want to talk about this, and neither would I. Instead the best thing would be to just hang around him and know you appreciate him during this extended, family oriented weekend. A side note, make sure no one acts like he is unable to do normal things. Like if he normally washes dishes, or whatever, during the holidays then don't think that he needs someone to help now. A routine helps, even if it reminds him and hurts initially. Humans are creatures of habit and its a calming thing. Stay strong man, for your father's sake.
  3. Will they detect the mobile speed trap cameras they have now? If so I am definitely interested, if not then still slightly.
  4. I would rather have spotty internet that is good, then this (it took 3 tries to get a result by the way)...

    What time starts the "afternoon" for you? If my shitbox doesn't break down again, I am all for it.
  6. My parents were just talking about this happening like 2 weeks ago. I wonder what happened, it seems less isolated now?
  7. I hate you for making me laugh at this stupid of a joke
  8. What are these?I carry hollow points every day. Those must be the "cop killer" bullets I hear so much about. As far as I know they are legal in NJ
  9. What was with the biker at the end of the vid that needed two of his buddies to push him?
  10. I think you need to revise the form jbot, the ear question is irrelevant. Procedure is procedure though, he will have to use the form that we have available until a new one is issued.
  11. Haha, that was pretty good, my two favorites were surrealism and bureaucracy. Nice find and SJ games rocks (Munchkin at least, I have never played the others)
  12. This isn't a case of interpretation of the constitution. Did you even read the link or are you just posting a copy and paste response to gun threads? Its about NJ gun laws and the odd selection of evidence/testimony by the judge. I think its ridiculous and I hope he gets pardoned, its obvious he was moving between residences, even the police say so.
  13. Standard cooling, open case, non-SLI/Crossfire, simple RAID 0 (just an assumption based on two similar drives and general feeling), I don't see the cool factor. This is definitely not your whole room being a PC. This is essentially a simple case mod, not really that impressive IMO. I like performance the best and even if looks were important, this isn't well thought out. For one, who wants a glaring blue light in their eyes directly above their monitors? -edit- Why does there need to be more cooling? Its open to the air, standard convection currents in the room should cool it enough. IDE cd/dvd drive doesn't matter, HDD's like to be a little hot, CPU has stock fan/heatsink on it (indicating no overclocking, therefore no RAM/FSB cooling so the mobo is fine), GPU has a fan/heasink built in. I don't see a need for other cooling personally. I have run plenty of pc's benchtop style and have not had a problem when they are at stock settings. It wouldn't eliminate the need for the fan on the CPU/GPU because if mounted properly, neither are in contact with the metal and therefore no additive heat transfer.
  14. I guess that is what happens when people are sick of their shit finally. Good job to the shop keeps!
  15. If you can sell one of my bikes than you can have the space for winter (again, not c-bus but a serious offer nevertheless)
  16. It says it was prefabbed, so yes, we could build a prefabbed building on a predetermined plot of land with permits ready in 15 days.
  17. Yea, something was probably coming loose and it got slid back in when you were putting it back together. Nice job!
  18. Some tips the previous owner of 1 of my bikes would have been better off knowing: If your brake fluid is orange, solid and clogging up the calipers enough to keep it from releasing, its time to change it. Antifreeze/coolant should be changed before it gets black and leaves a white film on the radiator cap. A screeching sound when braking indicates a lack of brake pads, which engraves the rotors and is just generally a bad idea. Metal gas tanks either need to be filled up completely for winter with stabil added, or drained and a film of oil added over the metal. Chains should be CLEANED as well as lubed, every 500mi. A black residue covering the chain means its been too long. If a fairing is not going on easily..STOP! You probably put it on wrong or in the wrong order. The regulator/rectifier circuit does not kick in at idle, so starting your bike a bunch of times to show it off and leaving it at idle will kill the battery. Torque specs are in the manual for a reason, not just for a pretty intro. Going beyond these values will snap a bolt off flush in whatever the medium you least want it in. Wood screws are for wood, not metal, and not for drilling into the frame to ground a ground effects system. Rubber doesn't last forever, it needs to be replaces before it dry rots (includes gaskets, tires, tubes etc.) Cleaning isn't to make the bike good, its to protect the bike.
  19. I have something similar: common sense. The only time I click a bad link is if I am desperate for a result, so not very often.
  20. I haven't read any of the links on how to fix it, but I have no problem dong smd soldering for you. I have fixed plenty of my electronic devices doing that and have also replaced screens on friends' ipods (I cannot repair ribbon cables if they split/break in the middle though). If you decide whats wrong or want to me figure it out, I can probably help. BTW, the only way you will be able to figure out what is wrong is to open it up, otherwise its just a guess.
  21. Since when does release date matter if you watched a movie or not? I saw the old one and it was longer for me. I am stoked for it, I have seen like 3 trailers for it before movies in the theaters and it looks like it will rock.
  22. I can understand about half of that. What I do get is: its a navy weapon, still undetermined (definitively) on plane or missile, they DO know what it is since they requested clearance for it essentially. I assume there is much more information I am missing that probably can determine that it is a missile, maybe even more. Do tell...
  23. All I said was that its what MSNBC is reporting, personally I don't believe what they are saying. I saw the vid, I have never seen an aircraft like that even with conspiracy videos of aliens. I have, however, seen plenty of rockets that look like that, especially navy with the initial angle (I agree with your previous post, very informative btw).
