    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    ur right... I suck.


    In real life news: My car is a pile of rust and I have to get a new one. I'm not particularly snob-ish when it comes to cars: I would be delighted to drive a 70's Opel Kadett if you could get one that was reliable...


    I like how it looks permanently worried and surprised.

    but 90's to 00's budget to midrange cars were absolutely dreadful and only recently they've been picking up again. Too recently to find cheap used ones. - The Volvo XC70 for example looks amaaaaaaaaaaaazing[/vibrato]. What I'm really hoping to find is a used bottom-of-the-line Dacio Sandero. When I heard that you could get one without servo amplifier if you insisted I immediately fell in love. The first car I ever drove was my mom's Mitsubishi Colt without a servo. If you have never driven one without: ofc it's a lot harder to park, but once you get rolling the steering is lighter than in cars with servos... this gets worse when they add artificial resistance at speed for 'safety' reasons. That doesn't necessarily mean that I will get one without, but I will definitely try to get one to test drive.
    Plus if you check ebay for spare part prices you will jizz your pants.

    I think they are fairly good looking as well.



    Not stunning, but not *puke**eyecancer**suicide* either... I mean... look at this shit:



    Are they fkin serious? What kind of sicko designed this?

    Anyway I'm working on my own way of explaining poker to people with zero knowledge about the game. I'm driving to work with a friend every day. That gives me 15min. a day to try and explain poker to him. I started off by explaining coinflips, then coinflips with multi-sided coins (aka dice) and variable bet sizing. We're slowly working our way up to one-street poker games with a limited number of cards in the deck to make combinatorics accessible. I think it's working well. I don't really want to bother with any of that what cards to play from what position nonsense and just teach him how to think about the game.
    I'll report back on that

    The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.
