After a little over a year back into lifting, I finally hit 3/4/5 plate on the bench/squat/dl. I used to hit these #s in college and actually looked fit. How's come this time around I still the bod of an office drone? Lol

Don't sleep on the latest Gen Outback if interior space is a priority. I actually don't know of anything in its class that has more backseat leg room (read: with rear-facing car seats installed, driver still has room to slide his seat all the way back.) The wagon-type of setup also provides more functional storage than anything other than a suv/van with a 3rd row seat removed. The sweet-spot with Subarus is buying the base models... the options on the premium packages suck and are a lousy value. Caveat: based on my research, I chose to avoid the models with 2.5 engine and CVT.

Are you guys seriously talking about poverty and lack of opportunity in the context of this attack. That's dangerous non sequitur. Muslim African on the terror watch list goes jihad on an Israeli establishment. Muhammad in all likelihood mistakenly assumed the owner was a jew. As an actual jew living in columbus, I'm just delighted my daughters get to be culturally enriched by our 100k muslim refugees.

Looks sweet. How much is he going to have into when u all are done? Seems like with these mods fz09 could be a better value than see triple r.

Not something I noticed, but I wasn't doing much cruising at all. I'd want to confirm whether or not it's a serious problem before buying, though, as long distance travel is a big part of this bikes value prop.

Rode one of these during the warm snap. This may be the perfect road bike, folks. Almost makes me want to drop $20k on a new unit, which I'd previously have thought insane..

Welcome. Does OR's software support the slashed ø?

As usual Obama musters more sincere anger for his political foes than he ever does for mass murderers. Just compare the directness here to the wishy washy script Friday night: "its an attack on our shared humanity blah blah." Reference also the most rent school shooting.

It looks like France is heading down the US post-911 strategy of: 1. Bombing a desert 2. Hastling it's domestic residents indiscriminately, demographics of the attackers be damned. Disallowing 3rd world followers of a death-cult into your borders would have been a better option, but that window is closed for France. Will the US learn anything? Last time I checked we are still flush with student visa visitors from the mid east.

Something you can read for free are ride reports by a guy named Antihero on ADVRider. He rode a 1199 Panigale across the US, and he's currently on an open-ended trip around Europe on the same bike. His writing is a mix of ride reporting and metaphysical musings, rarely boring. Makes you feel like a puss for feeling sore after 8 hour jaunts to SE Ohio.

That's my reading of the tea leaves as well. If people sympathetic to Marijuana use aren't aligned behind this, it is going to go down in flames. Or up in smoke.Which is a shame, because we probably won't get legal MJ in the next decade via the legislative process. Ohio just isn't the same demographically as CO, CA, OR, etc. Our baby boomer voters skew conservative, whereas those states skew ex-hippie.

You think a woman's mind is going to be changed with MATH,?

That's what's maddening about the GOP for the last 30 years. No one has the guts to admit that some immigrant groups make a whole lot better neighbors than others. Maybe you don't have the votes to ramp up Mexican deportation, but why not at least negotiate to balance the scales. Right now someone should be standing up and welcoming any German or Sweed who is dissatisfied with their countries importing a million muslims. Similarly for white south africans, who are living in legitimate danger these days. We should also consider stopping the insane practice of kicking out east Asians after they graduate from our colleges.

Ye or Ne? Amending the constitution via referendum to enshrine a private cartel is terrible policy and precedent. On the other hand, pot should obviously be legal. And if the legislature would ever get their act together to pass a bill, I can imagine the end-result looking much different than Issue 3. The vocal opponents of MJ do not seem to have a problem with state monopolies on other vices (e.g. the casinos; or wholesale liquor distribution.)

They were paying this lady $5000 a month, aka $60k per year to dress up in a costume? No wonder she's pissed about losing that job.

Economically, immigrants are very good for the country as long as they are not net drains on the welfare system. Business founders are the obvious case, but even the $10/hr dry waller is a plus. Think of all the voluntary contracts that dry-waller will enter into that makes the counterparty better off. The person who employs them wins, the people who hire the employer win, the guy who rents an apartment to them wins, any vendor that sells them food/clothes/etc wins, uncle sam wins when they pay taxes. By definition, both sides engaging in voluntary trade are better off, or they wouldn't be dealing. The only way to economically lose on immigration is if the immigrant is a net lifetime drain on welfare programs, which is more a problem in the EU than the US. The problem in the US is political. Immigrants, and the extended families they're allowed to import via chain-immigration, vote. And they vote for the statist options..

Demography is destiny. Look at the kind of people coming in and what kind of shape their places of origin are in, politically and economically. If a country is still 3rd world in 2015, it's because the preferences of its people is for banana-republic policy. Look at the political party our current crop of immigrants are voting for 5-to-1 in favor for, and does that party support the values your dad and grandfather taught you? This is why Trump has such massive support. If you have an interest in political conservatism as a national platform, demographics are the only thing that matter in the long run for enacting those policies, and Trump is the only guy with the cajones to call things as they see it. My kids get to grow up in a country that will have invited in 100 million brown 3rd worlders, who are actively opposed to a good chunk of my values and traditions.. but hey, good job GOP, you can claim to the new York times that you're not scary racists.

I am thinking that bike belongs to a guy from NE Ohio that goes by the name 650ib.

Brilliant.

^I can think of a few other reasons he might have wanted to take it down.

I'd hit it.

Sounds like this family deserves each other. Lol

Anyone have a clue how many miles a made-in-Japan in line 4 should be expected to last adhering to maintenance? My 05 RR has been flawless. But it's kind of amazing to me these little high revving engines are so reliable.

What do we want them to accomplish? I wouldn't mind seeing some effort thrown behind legal filtering/splitting. Maybe ordinances allowing parking on sidewalks in urban areas. Reduced sales tax on used bikes. Therr are probably some underexploited opportunities to align with the environmental lobby to get some preferential treatment in terms of reduced tolls, registration fees. Other than that, it seems like the US has it good in terms of motorbike regulation. No tiered licensing, horsepower restrictions, luxury taxes, etc. How much of that is due to AMA vs inattention by regulators, I don't have a clue. The 2000lb gorilla probably has some deterrent effect. The atgatt crowd has a distaste for AMA pushing back on helmet laws, but I think fighting is the correct strategy. Are progressive nanny-staters ever satisfied after an interest group yields to "common sense regulation?"

The Vatican needs to elevate the study of economics in their ranks.. The spiritual side of things is the churches core mission, sure, but material living standards still matter under any reasonable ethical or religious framework. Is the pope interested in how the average Westerner became literally 100x wealthier than his ancestors in 1800? To the extent the current pope comments on the issue, it seems to be railing against the secret sauce. As to prioritizing climate change in his public outreach, I'm personally more concerned with the 1+ billion worldwide who have no power to their homes. I think getting those people hooked up is the imperative, not 2 degrees of warming over a century. There is a real moral case for fossil fuels, past and future. Would be nice if the world's most prominent religious figure had the clarity to see that. But hey, my life experience as an underachieving pothead has blessed me with unique insight.
