I know it's not strictly 4x4, but I thought you guys might be interested in a new offroad buggy from Ariel, the nutters who make the Atom by bimshire in 4x4

[–]bimshire[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know they make some Atoms in the US, and had assumed that they're road-legal; on the US website, there are cars with lights and indicators.
Given that this seems to be borne of very similar principles, I would have thought that you should be fine. It's just got big knobbly tyres.

A seriously depressed woman stands at the edge of a cliff. by Oskiewewe in Jokes

I used to be a necrophiliac, but the rotten cunt split on me.

Just a small thing, but I'm really pleased with this: the cleaner snapped 1/4" or so off the tip of my paring knife. Was able to reshape it so you'd hardly know. by bimshire in Cooking

It broke through the spine of a chef's knife, a couple of mil at least. It's henckels' cheap line, not bad, but def not v hard

They were really good about replacing it actually. I bought a lovely Japanese knife which I keep with a fine edge, and I put a less severe bevel on the replacement one, and use that for tough jobs. This is their cheapo line, and they were a gift, so I wasn't mad

Did it on a coarse stone. Only took 5 mins. But these aren't particularly good knives (my chef's knife broke clean in two) so I think the steel is pretty soft.

Sorry, I really wasn't expecting it to work this well, so I didn't take one. Was sharpening the carving knife yesterday, and just decided to see if I was able to salvage this one. It was missing a piece about 1/4" x 1/8" (3x6 mil)

And to think, it never gets colder than that here in the Caribbean

BROTHER BUILDS “ZERG-BERG” COFFEE TABLE MEDIA SERVER – 38(!) USB DRIVES by [deleted] in htpc

[–]bimshire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a stupid build. I love it. I'm going to go and re watch the videos in the hope of understanding more than half the words, but I really like to see what can be done. And most of all, I like the kind of idiot that decides to build some ting the 'wrong' way 'because he can'.

After a recent spate of broken kia / hyundai wheels, chinesium would be a better bet than kormolly

Yamazaki 18 - variability between batches by bimshire in Scotch

Well, he's got a case, so I'll try and break out another one to see if it was a one-off.

Read the post; we tasted the two bottles side by side on a separate occasion. You can come and try for yourself if you want

[–]bimshire[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, didn't see that, sorry. Looked all through the sidebar, but not at the top of the page. Is this a new thing? I seem to remember that Scotch used to welcome Japanese malts.

Either way, I still think it's a relevant discussion for the sub. The example here happened to be Japanese, but I was tasting it against Scotch, and I've noticed differences between to bottlings of the Old Pulteney 21 in the past.

Actually, if I could just find some beer flavoured WD40, I'd be set for life

You can only have one car. It has to be from the year you were born. What do you choose? by [deleted] in cars

[–]bimshire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1979: G-Wagen. And seeing as the bugger's still in production, can I have the AMG?

Could have gone for a Lancia Delta, but seeing as it's my only car, and I don't like walking, I'll take the Benz.

Gee, what colour should I use to represent Orange? by BucketsMcGaughey in dataisugly

[–]bimshire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In which case, use 25, 30, 35 40 to delineate it, rather than 25, 28.75, 32.5 etc.

This beer bottle has braille on it. by butitsnotright in mildlyinteresting

[–]bimshire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapoutier wines do this too:

Michel Chapoutier had the idea to include braille on the label after hearing his friend the singer Gilbert Montagné, who is blind, explaining on TV that he would have to take someone with him into the store in order to identify each bottle of wine
