    Burn Them

    Fucking "modern technology" is the fucking problem. There IS a painless method of execution. It's a called a Guillotine. It's so nearly instant that researchers have said a person being Guillotined doesn't have a chance to feel ANY pain. The only method that could possibly be faster or less painful would be to literally smash the criminal's head flat with free-falling multi-ton weight.
  2. The Camaro with the built V6 at least has a cool motor, but only two or three of those Camaros manage to look less hideous than stock. The rest of them are worse than Aztek-ugly.
  3. It's not like he even has to open the hood; all he has to do is get the right camera angle and you can see the entire motor through the hood gaps. Was his body guy fucking drunk the whole time he was doing the install of that shitty lookin kit?
  4. OK, I like the one with the projector in the ceiling, but maybe I'm a little weird, because this is the only one that really suits ME: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2717/4033553835_a059ed8d0f_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2682/4033553855_b554a9eb2a_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2500/4033553847_d1dafe90c6_o.jpg I mean, if I'm putting that much money into a garage, I'd like to at least be able to do my own oil changes. The frame lift and ceiling hoist are effing beautiful. I wouldn't even need a house with a garage like that. I'd use the back areas of the bottom floor for parts storage, and just live in the 2nd floor. I'm humble, 1500sq.ft. would be all the living space I'd ever need. Anything more than 3000sq.ft. for a single working person means hiring help anyways, and I hate the idea of anyone else being in my house when I'm not.
  5. Clifton Mill. It's a bit of a side trip down 72 to Clifton, but it is so worth it if you hit it for breakfast. They grind their own flour, and their pancakes are the best, especially the buckwheat(just go ahead and call me a racist already). They're also bloody enormous, a foot square and an inch and a half thick. They also have the best corn-meal mush on the planet. Their lunch and dinner menu is pretty good, too, a definite cut above the usual family-restaurant fare. http://www.roadfood.com/Restaurant/Reviews/516/clifton-mill Alternatively, a 15 minute side trip to Yellow Springs will put you at Ha Ha Pizza, and the have some truly excellent pie. Just remember that Yellow Springs is a Liberal Arts college town and the whole downtown area is nothing but jewelery, glass, and tchotchke shops, so keep the gf on a short leash, or you'll end up carrying bags all day... http://dayton.citysearch.com/profile/8210809/yellow_springs_oh/ha_ha_pizza.html#profileTab-maps Oh, and if you go to Yellow Springs, you'll pass Young's Dairy, which is an unadulterated kiddy tourist trap now. The food is terrible steam-table crap they wouldn't serve in a public school, but their ice cream is worth putting up with the usual million screaming little brats for. You can get a huge variety of cones, or you can skip the lines by just buying a gallon in the gift shop. Throw a coat over it in the trunk, and it'll make it home without starting to melt.
  6. I got a fever, and the only cure, is more cowbell!
  7. Nevertheless, this guy is gonna burn in Irish Hell.
  8. This has been known to Corvette owners for many years now.
  9. That site is leaps and bounds better than mine. Bookmarked it, may need some of their stuff for a project.
  10. As sick as it is, she isn't the youngest mother ever, not by around 6 years... http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/medina.asp
  11. He means something like this: http://www.foamorder.com/packing.html You could also check at places like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and JoAnn Fabrics.
  12. 1, 2, 3, and 47; yes. Various judges, council members, etc.; Who gives a shit.
  13. Legally: Probably not. Practically: 28 feet is going o get you pulled over. It's just not safe, forget about legal. Maybe in something like a DeVille, which is already damn near 20' long anyways, but no way on an I-Mark.
  14. No, no, and no. New GNX in that body, yes, but not with a V8. Start with the 3.6L direct injection V6, ream it out to ~3.8L. Offer it in three ranges: T-Type 350hp, GN 450hp, GNX 500hp+magnetorheologic shocks.
  15. You know, I am actually so proud of GM for finally bringing out a car that looks so good, drives so well, and so completely blows away the competition. Then they killed the G8 GXP and brought out this ugly piece of shit. GM didn't need money, they needed a forced purge of brand-management and advertising depts. If they'd had any kind of advertising push for the G8, it would have hit the market HARD.
  16. Hmm, traction=FAIL. Scary couple seconds there, I can't believe he recovered it. Do want.
  17. They got the stupid bitch. http://www.globaltoronto.com/search/Woman+charged+connection+with+driven+over+hoods/2158984/story.html
  18. Think about this for a minute, too; There are people in this world, even people on this forum, who can read things like that and still argue against the death penalty.
  19. BTW, when I first opened this thread, I was dreading the possibility of a video link...
  20. BTW, there is a spatial effect of compression near the speed of light. I don't know all the terminology, so fuck off, but basically, because of the relativity effects near light speed, and object traveling that fast would actually appear to compress along the direction of travel. However, anybody within the object would observe their world as appearing totally normal. If you threw a ball forward inside a ship traveling near light speed, you would observe it as traveling away from you normally. However, to an outside observer(for the sake ofexample we must assume the observer is immune to relativistic effects), you would appear as a flattened shape seen edge one, and the ball would appear as an even flatter disc, barely diverging from the thrower before dropping to the deck. BTW, this also means that the flashlight you shine on the front wall of your ship would be traveling the same perceptual distance for you at light speed as it would at rest, so using a device that is affected by relativistic compression would give you the same time readings either way when measuring the time it takes a photon to leave the flashlight and reach the wall.
  21. You can pretty much forget finding a manual car on a rental lot these days. If a rental agency DID lease a stick, it would sit on the lot most of the time because so few people can even drive a stick now, and the few times it did go out, it would come back fucked up because someone was "teaching their wife to drive stick". Sound like a good business move?
  22. Now look at this and think about worldwide environmental treaties. The West is shouldering the burden for China, India, and Russia, with China being the worst offender(Russia still isn't that far behind. Those crazy fuckers dug a canal using nuclear weapons...). The Chinese draw in industries with cheap labor and zero environmental laws. Then pressure the USA to reduce emissions and protest any new restrictions on themselves because they are still a "developing industrial country". So the USA goes to negotiate new environmental treaties and gets pressured into accepting new, ridiculous restrictions to get China, Russia, and India to accept even the smallest restrictions on their own industry. So, manufacturing anything in the USA gets even more expensive relative to doing it in China, which pushes more US businesses to move production to China, where they can spew smoke, soot, and poison into the air and water. This widens the trade deficit, which means the US has to borrow money from the Chinese, to buy Chinese products, which Americans invented and developed and the Chinese pirate with impunity, which also, of course costs the USA money... Yeah, it's all pretty circular, isn't it? Thank god China is fucking themselves with their population controls and backwards-assed paternally-based customs...The population crash brought on by killing all their female babies is already starting. Let's hope they don't wise up too early.
  23. It was a five-page story, and wasn't even long enough to make a decent episode of The Twilight Zone...what makes you think it's going to be a good movie?
  24. The fingers are a cable linkage to the suit actors hands, just like the robot hand grippers you might have played with as a kid. The head is and animitronic, either worked by someone offscreen, or by a pre-programmed set of movements. With it being out in public, probably radio or IR controlled.
  25. Wow, I would NOT want to get butt-stroked with that... What caliber is it, and is it a drop-block or a repeater, or what? It looks like that elaborate guard is hinged to work some kind of mechanism, and there is an access of some sort under the forearm...
