Haha, nothing's wrong with brakes except that the cheap ones don't work in the snow or rain very well. As a delivery biker a couple years back, I found some legitimate reasons to ride a fixie. Basically they're bulletproof and simple, they work no matter what the weather conditions and yes, it's a riding style that is challenging and fun.

But mostly I rode it because it was the most affordable reliability my money could by. Nothing wrong with a fancy set of brakes, derailers and and gearset - they just cost a lot. And the cheaper stuff never stood up to the abuse.

I always had handbrakes on my bikes, but they never really worked very well since I neglected them due to disuse. Make fun of it all you want, but using the pedals is by far the most reliable way to stop a bike if you know what you're doing.

FIFY: Her entire argument can be derailed with two words. "meds, now"

That article makes a good point about Obama dragging this into partisan politics.>> ^RedSky:

It seems pretty calculated to me. These kinds of decisions just aren't made off cuff. The speed and sequence of events just feels too convenient in an attempt to make it look spontaneous.
Politically it's a huge boon. Romney wants to sell the the tested business-person image. Santorum and to a lesser extent Gingrich have already done damage by derailing the debate to the culture wars. The Republican base which doesn't trust him will need to see him defend 'traditional' marriage virulently to turn out to vote. It'll be out of his comfort zone & strengths and gut any chances he had left.

My friend and I used to put rocks on the track. One of the rocks shot out and hit my friend in the side of the face. He wasn't looking and thought I'd punched him. Hilarity ensued. Derailment did not.

"Trolling" by the standards of the left is anyone from the non-left disagreeing.

It's easy for anyone to be lulled to sleep as the schools, Vancouverwood, 99% of the media and presently the White House all chant the same socialist claptrap, leaving out the verse about who has to pay for it.

You should be grateful to have your views challenged.

Once again, qm comes in with an argument that somehow manages to be both wrong and completely irrelevant at the same time and derails the thread. One of these days, I will make a timelapse video of such a comment thread and see if Deano will let me post it in skilful, for it is truly epic trolling.
As for the video itself. Isn't it refreshing to see a video with Christians who actually deserve the name? They're one of the few examples I've seen of people actually following Christs teachings. Kudos to them.

And bringing this thread derailment right around it's about a group of sentient beings pooling their energy for a better future and overcoming evil ignorance. >> ^dag:

Been playing UQM for the last few weeks with my 11-year-old. He absolutely loves it. Just goes to show that a good game is timeless. And SC2 is probably in the top 3 games ever made, IMHO.>> ^dannym3141:

Dude.. i love starcon 2 so much. I wish i could play it now
Edit:
Wait, wtf is this UQM?

Please make this one interesting thread not derailed by shinyblurry. Exercise your right not to be trolled, people!

I feel bad for anybody who loses a parent that young. But the other tens of thousands don't have a video about them to comment on.>> ^Yogi:

I never cared for Breitbart's antics, they were often misleading crap that derailed political discussion with lies. That said, I still feel bad for his family losing their father/husband at such a young age.

Tens of thousands of families lost someone today. Do you only feel sad for the ones you hear about? That's not something a Huge Jerk does.



Again not something a Huge Jerk does...live up to the name or change it. I'm at least smarter than the average bear.

You could still derail it with 7" gap. Just move the track sideways.

Or put a penny on the track
