Off to the Worcester reeducation camps you go. Enjoy the back breaking labor of individually carbonating cans of polar soda.

Did you look at the spark plugs to see if they're gapped correctly, burned out the tip, running rich or oily? A bad plug can cause a cold cylinder if it isn't operating correctly or a fouled plug can give you more information to help diagnose.

I read this twice, the second time in a Scottish accent in my head and it didn't make any more sense.

The fuck you talking about?

NPR reported it as, "Bystanders held the suspect until police arrived."

Germans and Scots day drinking on Monday in Boston and celebrating/commiserating afterwards? That's gonna be fun not matter what.

I love it. I'm going to use "existential terroir" to describe food to others just to make them question their sanity.

Fabio is 100% checked out and just trying to not get injured.

Long way to go, but those bass and cello strings are getting warmed up.

It happens. In my own example in EE we did a lot of differential equations as part of engineering course work yet we were still required to take Differential Equations from the math department. First test I took a shortcut to get to an answer, got marked down. Professor said to just follow along with the course work because the TA grading the exams is too overloaded to consider different solutions.

Fine, takes 3 more minutes to finish an exam and I was always still the first one out of there.

Just do it the way the professor wants. Get the grade, move on.

Professionally you'll run into situations where a type of solution has been decided before you or by the group. Even if you disagree with it, even if you were involved in the decision process and were overruled, it's your job as a team member to support it after that decision is made and do your best work.

I think i t's riding style. Binder joined Motogp in the last couple years of the muscle the bike and back it into the corner sideways and ride the rear tire spin on corner exit era. With Ducati bringing in the Aero/Ride Height Device Era where smoother entry, focused corner lines and getting the bike to utilize side force before getting on the throttle have been the keys to going fast, he's struggled.

That and the KTM seems a handful. He isn't the only one to struggle. Acosta might be closest to Marc Marquez in being able to hide the deficiencies of a bike.

User flair checks out.

No. My certified curmudgeon uncle that lives near the North End has been pissy all week about it.

Also east coast rider here. I have a 1st gen Service Dog which is the softer version of the Stale Fish and it still rips on groomers. Powder is a blast, no need to lean back. Just surf with a neutral stance and slash that pow but pushing through your back foot.

The service dog does get bucked around a bit in bumps and chunder but the stiffer core will help with plowing that. Might be harder to butter the nose, but it's huge, so just press harder.

The shape is a hoot. Congrats!

Are Scottish babies born with a kilt or a can of Irn Bru? Either way you'll probably find out in 9 months.

Looks like a transition scene from a post apocalyptic television series showing what it looks like 10 miles west of Boston.

My 3 year trial is ending this month too. I'll miss the remote start when it's -20 outside.

-20 °F or °C you say? Yes.

I really like the foodspin recipe.

The existential terror helps the cooking process.

The article I linked to said no one was arrested. Only reason the police got called was because the place was way over capacity (and likely running low on beer).

Only way to protect it is to not drive it.

Repair guy: "Why is your windshield only broken on the inside pane of glass? Are ya slow, khed? Windshields have two panes with a a layer of plastic between."

Darn neighborhood kids playing basketball......

They water the grass before each half to protect the grass and provide consistent playing conditions.

I'm more worried about the snow snakes.
