Re: General discussion chat I seriously don't get the point of driving an "offroader". I mean, my mom has a 2010 FWD 4 cyl RAV4 which has no more offroading capability than my dad's 04 Maxima. (Possibly even less.) It also has no more space in the back than a station wagon. Plus the seats are uncomfortable, not much legroom in the back, no air vents in the back, etc. Plus the mileage is terrible next to a comparable sedan or wagon. (My mom's gets about 24MPG. My dad usually gets 20-21 in his car but he can get around 28-30 if he tries.) I still don't like the fact that she chose that RAV4 over a Jetta TDI wagon that we looked at. It was a bit more but it was extremely comfortable, had a giant sunroof, AC outlet, etc. Even the hybrid Ford Escape we looked at was a lot nicer. (She chose the RAV because it was newer and had less miles. Her last car was a minivan that was on the verge of death at nearly 100k miles. She totaled it.) I mean, I really like Range Rovers. Especially the older ones. It's really just the big "offroad" cars that annoy me like the RAV4 and the CRV.
Re: General discussion chat That's awesome man. I'm having issues with my coil packs on my bike. Just gotta order a new set and it should run like a dream. Tho its a good learning experience on 2 cylinders haha.
Re: General discussion chat We should murder the stupids. That would solve the population problems and the world would be free of cringe. Anyway, I'm home from school today so I took the time to clean out my dresser, clean my desk, clean out my PC and rewire it, etc. I also cleaned the keys on my keyboard individually and it feels a lot cleaner now. I had clothes from when I was like 9 in my dresser.. (imported from here) (imported from here)
Re: General discussion chat That's why an old beaten up Defender is much better. Or just get an old Hilux, you can smash the shit out of it and it'll be fine.
Re: General discussion chat How do you get points using cookie clicker? I need to know. Now. I made a little c++ program to click automatically around 1k times per second, could easily spam it. - - - Updated - - - Middle east terrorist groups approve of the Hilux too.
Re: General discussion chat Hilux: Built alqaeda tough. - - - Updated - - - This is an interesting way to design and package an airbag.
Re: General discussion chat Interesting i guess. I am sure the engineers know what they are doing but i guess i will add my thoughts. Normally the occupant will come into contact with the airbag, not a sheet of plastic. Usually that airbag will wrap around the occupants legs a little bit and effectively increase the surface area in contact with that area of the body. By using a plastic interior panel you will be reducing the area of impact with the occupant and presumably increase the chance of a broken bone. This will likely also mean that the body panel there will also have to be soft and bendy. I assume they are using the smaller inflation piston because usually only a small amount of the surface area is compressed meaning it would need to be higher pressure, but because of the large plastic sheet over the airbag more surface area will be pressed upon (similar to standing on eggs vs putting a wooden plank over the eggs and standing on that). Like i said i am sure the engineers know what they are doing and are far more qualified on the subject than i am. But they did not really discuss any of these things which leaves me with some doubt thinking that this solution is more of 50/50 compromise rather than a 80/20 compromise with bias on safety over many of the points they mentioned.
Re: General discussion chat Yeah I'm a bit skeptical of it, but I'll wait until some crash tests come in and see how well it does. Also: I love this movie so much.

Re: General discussion chat They are all so true. On the one about Tea i started thinking, oh no that's totally wrong while reading it How do people in America pronounce the word twat? I cant think of another way to say it.
Re: General discussion chat I know the page said it, but 17 really is true. I may be the only Brit to not drink tea so that wasn't so deeply offending but I really can't think of another way to say twat? Also don't know what else half 8 is supposed to mean, obviously its 8:30, if it meant 4 I would just say 4, we Brits are eccentric to some but not quite that mad.
