Millennials.....
You know, there are two types. The ones whining on TV and ones that live in the real world. Most kids I see these days.... Yeah they are a little wimpier than from my day, but not nearly as pathetic as the ones you see on TV. I'm waiting for the day when the realistic group finally gets tired of the stereotypical losers and bash their heads in for making them look bad.
Then again, what do you expect from a generation that actually thinks cyber bullying is bullying and trained to NOT confront bullies but to run and whine about it. Isn't that what attracts bullies in the first place? Weakness? And encouraging kids to whine for counseling instead tackling the problem head on is where this all leads too. Snowflakes with safe spaces OR nut cases that finally snap and take out a public school. I was lucky I guess. I taught my kids the same thing I was - to not take shit from people.
Is this a trick question? It depends. For now, all you get is ONE track.... raceway. It's got quite a few layouts. If you think one tra - raceway is worth the money, then yeah. It's a bargain. I like the oval and the sports car layouts. If you think that it kick started the community? Yeah. Not so much. It more like kicked a body to see if it was still breathing.
Don't get me started about architects. Most I run across seem to be over educated mentally challenged types with a very fragile ego and a complete lacking of common sense.
I took that goofy test. It said I was a "logician" INTP-A. Did they make that word up?
Yeah. I agree with Forbin - Barnum effect. Some of the questions were so vague or completely unrelated so that I could've picked any position on the scale.
Oh well. Things like this are for entertainment not for a critical analysis and assessment.
Man. I was thinking stores having Christmas sales in July was a bad thing. Christmas is almost a year away and someone already started this thread!
Yeah, once you take it off.... Let's not forget putting it back ON and wondering where in the hell did that last screw go to. Tearing up half the garage looking for it only to find it up against the back tire.
Now you could say all that plastic protects components from exposure to the elements and claim how it's aerodynamics help with fuel usage, but I'm a bit of a minimalist when it comes to bikes. lol says the guy with the 800 pound bike.
One of the things that puts me off about motorcycles like sport bikes and baggers, especially baggers, is all the extraneous stuff on them.
That can turn a five minute oil change or a 10 minute brake pad change into an all day ordeal. I saw an Indian a while back. I think they make one of the prettiest motors in the world. but everything else is all covered up or concealed by something. It took me ten minutes just to figure out what I would have had to take off just to get to the brake pads. My brother's Beemer, a 1000r or something?, was the about the same way. It was fun to zip around on but maintenance would've been a pain.
Muscle bikes. Know why they call them that? Cause it's what you have to use when you walk it in traffic jams.

You know, if you just HAVE to have a crotch rocket, I think this is the way to go. Naked. I like how on this bike everything is relatively easy to get to. I also like the more relaxed riding position it has. It looks to make for a good daily bike. But honestly, It was the red stripe on the rims that was the deal breaker, huh?
That just finishes off the overall effect. I imagine you living in the UK and it being a Triumph and all, parts are easy to come by. And modding or tricking out would be pretty easy too. LOL Girder forks?
I don't know much about Triumphs but it looks pretty good and maintained. In the photos, the chain and back sprocket looks OK. I see a lot of three year old used sport bikes where that's not the case. Yeah. Your bike looks to be in very good condition. Is it still under a factory warranty? Is it "new" or new to you? A co-worker recently got a 2014 Yamaha C spec that was never sold from a dealership for dirt cheap. Less than what he would have paid for it if it was being sold by an owner. Hope you stay pleased with it.
Trey Gowdy..... First off, almost ALL politicians are scumbags. I seriously doubt he's any different.
I watched him try to grill HRC. LOL He looked like he was going to explode. She used a very good tactic in defeating him during the hearing or inquest or whatever. Just by being calm and playing dumb. Yeah. It was kinda funny. His eyes bulging, Sweat running down all over him. He was having an obviously hard time keeping his composure. He sorta looked like what they do in were-wolf movies right before they transform into the monster. As with most of the country, I never really heard of this little congressman before. And that was the first impression.
He was a District attorney in a state where the masses almost automatically find a person Guilty irregardless of any evidence and having indigent defendants forced to plea out.
Sure, that helps him with stats. But it becomes a whole different game when the opponent has the same pull and resources you do.
He really seemed to be at a loss on handling a real opponent.

Glad you came through the earthquake OK. Been having all sorts of little issues here, but nothing of that magnitude (no pun intended)
The TPPA..... hmmm. As sad as it is, it's just too impracticable (impracticable. not a yank word, not kiwi word, but a reals deal Limey word!)
Anyways it, TPPA. I guess the word Impracticable too, but no. The Trans Pacific Partnership. It's just not that popular here. It seems to spell doom for a lot of what's left of manufacturing jobs in the US. But looking at the big picture, It should have a lot of economic prosperity behind it.
Our economy is evolving into a consumer based service based economy.
If we get into it and keep globalizing these services, it should pay off in the long run. So many people are afraid of China taking over. Not as in a war, but economically. Why? Not only are consumers keeping them afloat, but so are American companies and firms A lot of companies that wouldn't exist if it wasn't for lowered manufacturing costs from China and other parts of Asia. .... wait a minute - you like Trey Gowdy?

What? Run out of stuff to go on about? Or are you just waiting around for Trump to screw up and come up with crap?
Well here's two things for you to connect dots with.
1. The Dreaded OBAMACARE:
That's a horrible version of healthcare. It basically forced lower income families to buy health insurance they couldn't afford (what subsidies?) Insurance plans where the deductibles and co-pays (what YOU have to pay for doctor visits and prescriptions)were too expensive
TO afford. And if you were to go to doctor and just pay flat out, that doctor visit alone was less than one week's payment of said forced insurance.
Well one of Trump's hallmark platforms was to get rid of that garbage.
Now we hear there's key elements in it he likes and wants to keep.
Hmmm.... If you invested in markets and commodities and you all of the sudden had the power to force people to buy something, what would you invest in?
2. Draining the Swamp:
He got all sorts of the disenfranchised here in the good ol USofA that to believe that he was going to clean house in DC if elected. He was going to put an end to those bad ol career politicians. The people he was going to get were outsiders with all sorts of experience in the private sector and get them appointed in key positions to fix the problems caused by bloated government.
His cabinet is made up of nothing but career politicians. And a lot of people thought he was going to bring back the steel mills and manufacturing jobs. Well not only is that not going to happen, the clowns he's getting back into things are some of the very same ones that sold out all those manufacturing jobs in the first place!
Something tells me that 12 million illegal aliens are still going to be here four years from now. And I'm pretty sure "the Wall" approach to illegal border crossing going to be whittled down to basically a couple of guys working overtime.
One more thing anyways just so you can feel included.
Foreign policy: Hmmm. Why do I think I see him and Putin having massive bank accounts? Wikileaks disappearing. Certain dissidents having accidents?
It's going to suck in Syria worse than it does now. NATO and Western Cohesion? I don't see much there beyond political leaders babbling about this or that. Our economies and social structure is too interwoven.
Your neck of the woods - The South Pacific Rim. Yeah..... do y'all have Mandarin as second language courses? You might wanna look into that.
I think he'll help negotiate away the South China Sea interests from the Philippines and Vietnam and Indonesia to the PRC for some chump change business deal.
We're having a lot of morons acting stupid here cause Trump won. I'm pretty sure you've seen some of that on the news. Most of that is by a bunch of sore losers and antagonized by professional agitators hired by Soros. I don't know or care about liberalism elsewhere, but the American liberal is about the most pathetically self-righteous moron out there. No matter how screwed up he is, he's still better than Hillary Clinton.
I think the if any one should be rioting, it should be the suckers that voted for Trump thinking they were actually going to see some sort of change for the better.

Well done? Uhhh... the lesser of two evils is still evil. Oh well. Hopefully Obummercare will go the way of the Brady bill.
For a good laugh you should checkout The Huffington Post. Those self righteous idiots are saying the exact same things about Trump as what the Republicans were saying about Obama.
I don't know why those whiny libtards are wanting to flock to Canada though. EVERY Canadian I've talked to last year wanted us to vote for anyone BUT Hillary Clinton. Just what did she do to piss off Canada that bad anyways?
But let's see what happens in four years when the working class in the Rust Belt realize the steel mill jobs are not coming back. When the middle class find out that all those tax breaks aren't for them. When the xenophobes see that the "wall" isn't going to get built and the Bible thumpers figure out he's not going to affect the abortion industry one little bit.
Trump or Clinton? I don't know or care which one of those worthless POS will win. I just know who loses. The American People.
I'm not even bothering to vote.

Yeah.... I don't usually "plug" a product, but recently I had a flat tire. I just bought new tires less than 4 months ago. And y'all know tires for bikes ain't cheap. Well I took a chance on this product that claims to not only seal punctures but balance the wheel as well.
You know what? It DID! The product is called Ride On. It's this orange colored glue looking stuff. An 8oz container is around $14 US.
It comes with a chart listing tire sizes and how much to put in, but I had to go online and use their calculator. Avon may make decent tires but they suck at tire size description. I needed 12 oz (had to buy two bottles). I don't know about other products out there, but I know FIRST HAND this one works.
Oh and it won't mess up your wheel like I've heard other sealants doing.

I think Stephen Cobert summed it up best.
He said it was a better way for people to get hit by cars.

Golf.... Golf is now an Olympic event. Oh well with the way doping is going, I can see the logic. In track and field events you have to worry about those dumb jocks taking crap that would make a horse explode.
With Golf? I dunno... One too many whiskey sours at the tee off?
Golf in the Olympics.... Ghana vs Uzbekistan in a skins game for the gold. Yeah......

""French authorities investigating payments made to a secret bank account alleged to have helped Tokyo secure 2020 Games""
Why do I think that people that own parking garages are involved in that?

"it's getting out of control as you can see and if the police officers (there are two if you look closely) would have reacted then they probably would have been killed on the spot."
Nah. those people had what we call a "pussy mentality" Sure they're all tough looking in black and their little sticks, but I bet if the cop would've put a hole in one of them, the rest would run off.
Notice how the attack started and then escalated? They did a wait and see and escalated things once they saw the initial attack wasn't acted upon. There were two chances that cop could've stopped that nonsense. Notice how they backed off once he got out of the cop car for a few seconds? That hesitation? That was fear. The cop could've capitalized on that instant but he didn't. But not being a big fan of cops either, oh well.
But that's really not your point is it?
Be like the US of A.? Why? Like you said,"too many cultures and attitudes". That and a lot more.
The first thing all the member states would have to do is get rid of all that over regulation.
It seems what they did was stack up even more regulations and ordinances instead of streamlining.
The second thing? Throw out all that social crap and promote the right of the individual.
That's a tough one. It's also a very slippery slope that can totally screw up on you if you're not careful.
That's a problem we have here. It can create oligarchs.
"They thought they could create the USA here," LOL these folks might want to wait about 6 more years and see what happens here before pushing that little idea.
oops... yeah. Didn't snap that it was a video. My bad. I'll go back, watch it, come back and edit the post with some sort of stupid comment.
"OK, Generation X... Didn't happen. I know coz I was there."
LOLOLOL
OK two things. First, What the hell were they going off on the cop for to begin with? My french is every bit as good as my German which is as good as my Hungarian.
Second, pasting from one of the commentors on the Youtube site:
These people die by the hundreds from the radical muslims they let into their country, yet they're protesting the police? If you struck a cop like that in America you would be dead and rightfully so.
Yeah, that's what was going thru my mind when I saw that play out. Why didn't the cop go all out Dirty Harry on them?

Yeah. The WHO determined that Humans cause Cancer.
@ Cargame.... France? Burning cop cars? Pick a generation. Any Generation. YOu can find a similar photo taken during that time period. They even freaked out on Euro Disney. Sure Disney sucks, but still....
LOL The only time there was a nonviolent protest in France was when the Nazis rolled into Paris.
And you know if the dude from the people that brought you the Baltimore, Ferguson and the L.A. riots can say that.....
It's really just a stereotype. All the Millennial stuff. That and loudmouths that happen to be millennials when shown whining on TV. But there are laughable things coming from that generation. Some tend to suffer from PMS. No not THAT PMS. PMS: Poor Me Syndrome. If they spent as much effort trying to do something as they do in finding excuses to not, they'd probably get it done in no time flat. I'm guessing that over protective parents may be partly to blame. How the hell can you learn to do stuff for yourself if someone always does it for you? I used to trip out on some of the other parents with their kids when I was raising mine. These kids never learned discipline or respect. They NEVER learned about EARNING things. If they acted up, instead of an ass whipping, the parents listened to those stupid school counselors and doped their poor kids up. It's no wonder so many are hitting adulthood without the slightest clue.
That whole struggle nonsense? LOLOL Never met an American Millennial that had to heat water on a stove to take a bath. Those that struggle do so because of their own actions and choices.
As a Gen X person, I feel like our generation pretty much got passed over. All we heard about in our formative years were the baby boomers that refused to shut up and give us some room. Then you had... a couple of episodes of the X-files and Cobain blowing his brains out - and Presto! No more X It's all millennials and their sucky music (Hey I'm old! I finally get to say that to someone else!), texting and slutty pop culture bimbos. But we've spun way off topic.
No... BBC But the US news guys are worse. I'm just waiting for the Tesla car crash/Trump tie in from US media.
My kids are Millenials. You know, I guess I'm lucky they don't feel as "entitled" as what they could've been.

YOu know what really annoys me about the "Brexit"? TH UK leaving the EU and screwing with my 401k? Nope. The level of uncertainty increaxing and the lack of communications occuring in organizations like NATO? No. Not that either.
No. What hacks me off is that no matter what the EU is, should be or that no matter what the socioeconomic effect on the average UKer, all they do is tie it all in to Donald Trump in some form or fashion. Who the F*(& cares what that means for Trump and the Republican nomination?
I'm sure everyone in Wales is just oh so concerned about that. It's almost like there's this secret contest among journalists and news writers as to how many times they can use Donald Trump in a paragraph.
And still to this day don't know a damned thing about the EU but I do know, depending on who you ask, how it all effects Donald Trump.

Just remember, if it starts getting too hot, go faster. You can turn up the radio to offset the window roar.
That's what I do.
Have a safe trip.
Define Broke.
Does the AC come on when you turn it on and get NO air? Or does it turn on and put out warm air? The bad news here is your compressor may be shot. or less bad news, the condensing unit has a leak.
Oh wait... I think you described that. How hard is it to get Citroen parts? A decent AC mechanic should have you fixed up in a couple of days, depending on how easy it is to get replacement parts.
No. I'm no AC mechanic.... I have a similar problem. I need a new compressor. LOL it's made more from stop leak than the original materials.

""What is the eu?" was the second most searched question on Google on the day following the poll."
You know as a typical ignert 'merican on this subject, I'm not clueless aboout the EU or Brexiti in particular because I'm just a moron. Nope. I actually investigated this European Union phenomenon almost as soon as I could babble to people across the Atlantic on the internets (lol internets?). One thing that I got out of the whole EU nonsense was if you ask twenty different Europeans from twenty different places within the EU what it's about and you'll get forty different answers. So it being so high on the UK google list isn't all that surprising.
What it looked like to me was a bunch of y'all were trying to have your cake and eat it too. In order to pull something like that off, you have to go all the way or nothing.
"Whether I think we should be more autonomous or not is totally irrelevant. You don't ask everyone to vote when you declare war, why ask everyone to determine something they have, as a population, very little knowledge of?"
Good point. But being a minimalist type of person, I tend to disagree. I think getting into and getting out of the EU is a matter for public voting. After all, you're basically voting away a portion of your sovereignty in this case. And I wouldn't think you'd vote for people to up and decide to let another country influence your government, would you? Why not just vote for those people instead then?
Also, didn't they just sort of spring this vote up on y'all? I'd think something like this would involve a couple of years campaigning for or against it.
I saw on Jon Stewart a woman in the UK suffering from "voter's remorse". She changed her mind the next day after she voted. LOL she probably Googled what the EU was after she got home from voting and read something about it that changed her mind, huh? ROFL she probably thinks with the Brexit, she could vote for Donald Trump and take the country back!
"You can hate the system but the only way it works is if the people we employ to speak for us and act in our best interests are the ones making these judgments. If they aren't doing that then we have elected the wrong people but to remove their culpability with a stage show of a referendum is so short sighted."
LOLOLOLOL Welcome to the US of F*CKIN A Bro!
"You can hate the system because it don't work so good anymore. The people we employ to speak for us and act in our best interests speak for others and act in their own best interests. And they're the idiots that are the ones making these judgments. If they aren't doing that then they are doing something worse.
We have elected the wrong people but that's all we ever have to choose from, huh?
