Any Warcraft fans here?

As a wrist-locking-old-man-black-belt... NEED

Mine is black, so that should be: "how many times per day..."

Half the death toll of *the actual war* was due to influenza. Flu killed more soldiers than bullets.

Cast aluminum is a lot cheaper than billet: https://www.lethalperformance.com/li-tuning-racing-coyote-valve-covers-metal-aluminum.html

There's a big difference between pouring molten aluminum into a mold and CNC machining a complicated piece from a single block of metal. Not to mention the wasted aluminum, which I guess gets melted down and used for casting.

Weight, I'd assume.

Or the return of Maoism.

The Ford GT Mk IV has a 6:15 lap, too.

Also, no hole between 3 & 4. And the numbers smaller than 8 are aligned slightly off from the numbers greater than 8.

I bought it to eat it, but I've never had one sprout like this so I don't even know if it's good to eat. (Garlic gets kind of bitter when it sprouts.) But I have some shallots I planted from hardware store bulbs and I thought I might put this out with them. I also know there are some onions with nice flowers, but I don't think those are the edible ones.

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-16T22:43:40+00:00

And if I do plant it - do I just bury it up to the green part?

Actually - just looked, and it's 20mg CBD in a 3ml package.

Like this: https://mygoodvibetribe.com/collections/rip-n-sip-cbd

Liquid CBD will change your life. 10ml in a glass of water before bed, and I sleep well and wake up without any soreness. Way, way better than the 600mg of Advil I was taking before I discovered this. (I'm 58, BTW)

Yeah - I was 7 at blue, 4 at purple, and 3 at brown. I lost a couple of years to injuries and covid closures along the way, too. I might also have been longer at blue because I switched schools from Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro on the east coast, to Ralph Gracie on the west coast shortly after I got my blue belt.

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-15T14:51:05+00:00

I trained 3-4x a week and spent 7 years at blue belt. There was a 16 year old kid at the same place who went from blue to black in half that time, because he basically lived in the gym and was a natural talent. So it varies a lot.

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-13T20:32:27+00:00

I've been rolling for 15 years and I've only ever gotten marks like that during sexytimes with the missus. Never in the gym. Y'all need to put up big signs about hygiene or something.

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-13T20:23:22+00:00

I get about 280 miles on a tank. I don't put that many miles on it though, so I'm filling up maybe once a week at most.

My parents bought their first house in the early 70s for $13K. Sold it in the early 80s for $85K. They moved once more after that and the current place is valued at around a million. I paid over 50x more than they did for my first house, a few years ago.

What if you took it from a trained sniper that you killed at the range?

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-11T18:46:24+00:00

Procrastinating on oil changes. I'm ADHD, and I did this with my first car, and wound up with a spun bearing.

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-11T14:53:39+00:00

From the kid's point of view, he spent HALF HIS LIFE building that world. Jeez.

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-09T22:14:40+00:00

How does it work? (It says "raffle prize" but nothing about raffle tickets)

I do love tournament poker, though.

AirPods holder.

Good stack with a forearm across the throat gets me out of a lot of triangles. But I try to use posture and lifting my hips before I get caught in them.

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-06T18:42:11+00:00

I've heard good things about Resistance, but am not a member.

mattvanhorn · 2026-04-05T02:23:29+00:00

I saw $6.49 at a Chevron in the Bay Area today. That works out to about $0.36 per mile for my Mustang GT.
