Shit that annoys you

[PB]

when music that you owned seems to disappear. And the only way to reacquire it is to pay for it again.

Some douche stole your CDs?!?!??! Bummer, dude.

At least they didn't take his Creedence tapes.

Probably should go in the things that amuse you thread but I'm here. My wife spent the entire morning the other day fixing the VHS. Successfully. We haven't watched a VHS tape or even a DVD in years but there was one old PBS show she wanted to copy to a DVD. And I actually wouldn't mind being able to watch the Ric Burns show about the Donner Party once in a while. First time we watched it the freeway closed for 5 days.

Illegal Tampering by Diesel Pickup Owners Is Worsening Pollution, E.P.A. Says

WASHINGTON — The owners and operators of more than half a million diesel pickup trucks have been illegally disabling their vehicles’ emissions control technology over the past decade, allowing excess emissions equivalent to 9 million extra trucks on the road, a new federal report has concluded.

Yup, the Patagonia site... holy fuck what a pain in the ass that is. I gave up looking for anything soon into it.

This first, and then later distribution is exactly why Amazon is kicking everyone's ass. It's so easy to browse, one keystroke, and the next day it's on your doorstep.

Back when I used to live in the Kootenays, I new guys that would go across the line and buy a near new diesel that could be registered in BC (full emission controls still in place). They'd come home, register it, then head back across to a shop, usually in Idaho I think but maybe eastern WA as well, get the emissions stuff removed, then bring it back home. Even with the exchange at the time, this was cheaper than buying the truck in Canada. Not sure if this is still occurring.

when people use terms like “playful” and “funshape” to describe skis

[The Tortoise]

Funshape is dumb.

I get playful, but to me that means maneuverable, can make a variety of turn shapes, and has some rebound. Which is likely more meaningful than "playful"

I will whack you right above the boot with a carbon pole if you ever use those terms around me skiing.

[Mustonen]

When people have pet words or terms that they’ve decided annoy them, even when they convey meaning and/or are used correctly.

Aluminum works better for shin whacking.

Aluminum works better for shin whacking.

Perhaps, but for extremely long days of shin whacking I prefer the lighter carbon version.

[frorider]

I find bamboo more playful

I appreciate the descriptive nature of this threat, really helps with the visualization. But would that be the shin, calf, or side of the leg?

[dannynoonan]

For some reason when I hear "fun shape" I think of either some floppy shit like a soul 7 or this ridiculous contraption. The term should definitely be banned.

Penises are fun shaped, btw.

[dannynoonan]

Wait that came out really wrong

Just added skiing with Mikey B while The Tortoise tags along to my checklist of things to do soon.

As a soccer player that never wore shin guards growing up I enjoy a good shin whacking - when it’s someone else getting whacked.

Replaced the back door of my house last week. Tenant is a friend, we're both relatively handy and he's done a few of these in the past. We were both hoping that it would go smoothly and the 110-year-old bungalow wouldn't have too many bad surprises to throw our way. We were quickly disappointed when we pulled the trim and spotted this monster:



Turns out the back portion of the house used to be a covered porch and it was enclosed sometime in the 60s. Concrete saw must not have been a thing back then, whoever did the job drilled 3/4" hole in the foundation and pounded away. The opening was somewhat challenging to work with...
That explains why the back of the house can't be kept warm in the winter at least. I think that insulating foam is for filling in small gaps, not pretending to be a wall.

Ordered Pivots from Rossi Proform back in early September....still haven’t shown up ....must be the paint job on the Forza 2.0....
