I'm thinking of buying a cheap practical city car and then a motorcycle because I'm young and restless.
I wanted a motorcycle for a long time
so cheap!
but then I got scared that I was going to do a sweet wheelie and die in a fireball
I've been tempted, especially with some of the nicer electric stuff coming out since it's way more reasonably priced than electric cars but I don't really have anywhere I could keep it.
Does the airsoft version spew casings in wildly random directions so you can get the full SA80 experience of getting burns on all of your exposed skin? And did they subcontract production to a German company to get a version that actually works?
NO!
It was a Taiwanese company. >.>
But seriously two things. Firstly aside from being laughably in ergonomic the L85A2 is a good bucking gun. And secondly my G&G L85A2 is a fucking beast that out ranges everything except snipers.
It just doesn't do single shot so well...
Or shoot NATO standard ammo if it's one of the pre-H&K redesign. And it will do single shot just fine. Wack it on the barrel and sometimes it will let out a random shot.
I'm talking about the airsoft one. Single shot on less than an 11.1v LiPo will fuck the gear box. But batteries that highly charged gradually kill the gun so...
As for the real knw you're being so unfair. All the shit you're talking about was the A1 not the A2. All we needed to make it good was perverted German science. >.>
It's a goofy bullpup design. All of the space guns deserve the mocking they get.
Typical american! You just want to keep the M4 forever.
The rest of the world is switching to bullpups so they must be doing something right. I especially like the tavor. Say what you like about what they use them for but the isrealis know how to make a good gun.
The M4 is a pretty solid design. It isn't prone to damage, it shares commonality of parts with the rest of the AR-15 family which keeps the costs down, and it doesn't jam often. It's one of those things where it does the job pretty well.
And bullpup popularity is because it provides a longer barrel length in a shorter design. In theory it allows for longer engagement ranges. There is some debate about what the engagement ranges will be in future conflicts. The trade off is that they are generally more complicated designs and a pain in the ass for lefties.
the HK416 is pretty much the same gun, as far as solidness goes, no?
Solid is not what I'd call it
Different piston systems. HK416 tests better but the field reports tend to favor the M4. The New York Times did a 100 solider survey of troops in Afghanistan about it and got very few complaints. So either they were all handpicked by the Army's press office or it legitimately has a very low problem rate. It's been my general experience that if soldiers are given a chance to complain, they will. It's a historical constant.

in the norwegian army it is replacing the AG3, so of course it gets thought of as flimsy. You could chop down a tree with that and use it just fine afterwards.

I'm currently very lucky. I have a 7 minute drive commute with no traffic. 14 with traffic. The only miles that get put on my car currently is driving to my best bud's house at least every other weekend which is 40 miles away. Oh and sometimes my wife takes my car to out of state conventions because the lighter doesn't work in her car anymore and she wants to plug in her phone on long trips.
But our cars are getting old. I want a new one. But I want to get a house / condo more. I have to get out of this shit apartment this year if it kills me.

last week some neighbors we hadn't met put up a notice on the front door of our building they (jason, amanda and ginger) were having a holiday party in the next building and our building was invited!
frankie got excited and uncharacteristically wanted to go meet strangers, so she cooked some donuts (bacon + maple) and we went yesterday
when we got up to the door there was a big pile of shoes so we took them off and then when we walked in, people were doing some real hardcore caroling. not, like, a sing-along - some dude was on an electric organ and two women in the front were really belting them out with all the trills. it turned out that they were opera singers.
the dude playing the organ was wearing a sweater and a bow-tie and was some sort of molecular biologist. he looked like george will. i had figured that ginger was going to be a dog but instead ginger turned out to be a swedish girl whose swedish name was unpronounceable so she just went by ginger. almost everyone there was a vegan so they put a giant sign on frankie's donuts - "BACON PASTRY" it said.
there was a giant half-finished harpsichord in the small living room. the dude was building a harpsichord from a kit in a tiny condo. there was also a whole bunch of bicycle stuff up and around - like fridge magnets that said that the fridge would rather be biking, and an old-school framed french bike advertisement.
they were real nice people but seemed a little fussy and uptight. it was like if you took some super-waspy people from connecticut and then layered a bunch of hipster interests and lifestyle choices overtop them.
it was a real weird party, guys.

I really need to stop confusing David Lynch with David Fincher. I enjoy the stuff they've created for different reasons. But I keep getting them mixed up.
I'm thinking of buying a cheap practical city car and then a motorcycle because I'm young and restless.
where do you live?
i have a motorscooter and love it but can only use it during 8 months of the year (if i'm lucky)
also it's really only good within the city. if i'm going outside boston, somerville or cambridge it's kind of dicey.
however, within the city it's the best way to get around if the weather is cooperating.
do you have a scarf and/or goggles
if n i am so disappoint
sometimes i do!
tbh the goggles are kind of uncomfortable and i don't wear them much and you wouldn't really see them under my helmet. also a loose scarf is real unsafe.
and he was building one! in a tiny living room! it was all clamped together and the plans were hanging from the wall behind it.
also a whole lot of the other attendees were foreign people. i guess molecular biology and opera singers are very internationally cosmopolitan disciplines.

Why would you invite a whole building of people to a hipster vegan party without going "hey we're hipster vegans" ahead of time, because you know someone's going to bring a meat-thing.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
It’s that time of the year every student dreads...FINALS WEEK. If you’re like everyone else, you’ve probably been procrastinating on that essay and haven’t even cracked open a book yet. Well, regardless of who you are, here are nine foolproof tips to help you win your finals week!
1. Learn a lot about metal: Metal is one of the most common substances on earth, so it’s bound to play a role in your finals week exams. Knowing everything there is to know about metal can give you the few extra points you need to beat the curve!
2. Use mnemonic devices to remember complex concepts: Here are a few common ones to get you started: LDSTRH6K2U, LINCOLNWASAPRESIDENT, and COLDWAR&&&CSLEWIS. Good luck!
3. Reward yourself after each final with a thousand dollars in cash: You’ve been working hard, so why not give yourself a little something to keep you going? A thousand dollars should do the trick.
4. Only listen to the violin part of the Who’s “Baba O’Riley” while studying: Scientists have proven that students who listen to the violin portion of “Baba O’Riley” score at least 15 percent higher than the average student.
5. No go-karts: Be firm about this. You might think you can study and go-kart at the same time, but you know that never works. Avoid go-karts altogether.
6. No dune buggies: Just like with go-karting, the notion that you can still study while prowling over monster dunes in your badass buggy is patently ridiculous.
7. Drink coffee through your mouth: If you think dunking your fingers in coffee is going to give you that caffeine boost, you’re off the mark. Use your m-hole!
8. Squeeze a rock very hard: Can’t hurt, right? So try it!
9. Learn like the pros by using an Argus GX4 Pencil: Its patented Smoothglyde™ graphite technology will take your test prep to the next level. When it comes to acing your finals, it’s Argus or go home.

Let's play Mario Kart or something...

Not buying gas or insurance.
Riding greyhounds with crazy people.

This is an actual picture I took of Gooey-kun on a motorcycle

oh shit dude if the weather behaves during pax and you actually make it we will do this
i know right?

BACON PASTRY
I'm pretty sure I won't make it this year, but we should do it the following year if I can come
ideally with matching scarfs
I can't play those games or the MEs either so don't feel bad.
These people should be shot and killed on sight.

@Blameless Cleric these tips from Clickhole are exactly what u need
Interesting. What is it that you don't care for? People can not like things.
