    Hm. I'm assuming they gave you something to numb the pain though? I definitely would not have wanted to be lucid while having 4 teeth ripped out of my head.

    Fortunately I only had 2, but they didn't give me nearly enough. I felt everything.

    I don't think I'll ever get wisdom teeth...I'm the lucky few.

    I don't have them at least.

    On the topic of dental surgery, I was supposed to get braces last year but the process has been such a hassle that I don't have them yet.

    81 lap league race at Watkins Glen tonight.

    Grab the pole and lead the first 6 laps.

    Miss a braking point, fall to third, let the top two duke it out because they're OP as shit.

    About 20 to go after my final round of pit stops, I wind up losing 3rd gear. 4th place is catching me by a second+ per lap, and with 14 to go the host's game crashes.

    I get credited with third with a gearbox failure. ;)

    Who do you race with? I used to be in a group called Virtual Motorsports in Forza 4 but the forums died and they eventually let the website domain expire. Never got back into it after that.

    Is it just delapidated track, or did they pull the "rails to trails" crap again?

    There are loads of those rail lines converted to bike paths in the UK. They tend to be fairly popular attractions too bringing a lot of people on walks and bikes. Sometimes with small museums etc on them.

    In fact, there is one near where I live which forms the backbone of the local cycle paths. It gets tones of use from people who use it to commute from local towns to the city via bike without clogging up the roads (the starva leader boards back this up too) . It also connects some woodland and historic property to the city with one pub on it being very popular for people to walk to from the city. It also forms part of the cities 24hr bike sharing scheme where you can rent bikes from many local towns and villages with free parking to cycle into the city (as well as connecting the current rail network to those towns).
    Not gonna lie, if someone tried to turn it into a historic rail line I would be writing some strongly worded letters to the local council :p

    The bike path is imminent, in my mind it's not always one or the other but a little bit of both. I put my idea here in a diagram.
    Left = original
    Middle = planned
    Right = my idea

    Dangit. It least you have some rails, here in the US they've removed most of them. I wish you success in your attempt to bring back the tracks! :)

    We still have a lot of rail in the UK. With a couple [recreational] / [historic] / [too expensive to be of other use] lines as well.
    You wouldn't be able to have the lines and bike path too close. But if a line was dual rail before they could extend off to the side of one rail. With a single rail line you would struggle to find the space I guess. I think the reason converting rail lines to paths is attractive is because it is cheap and easy to do compared to building a path normally.

    I just found out my Xbox controller I used for BeamNG is wireless. I didn't have the battery in the controller, and I was using the charging cable to plug the controller into my computer. I don't know how that works...

    Yeah, how do you think they connect to the console? Wirelessly. I used a USB Xbox 360 adaptor for my computer, and it works flawlessly. Except for the constant need to charge the batteries, but wireless is awesome.

    I Use wireless 360 controllers cause I have a 360 at my parents house which I got them with. My sister/dad share a wired controller, the wireless ones are so much better. I use rechargeable Panasonic (often branded Eneloop) AA batteries with them.
