WD-40 and a Shop Towel. /discussion.

Trust me, places like Tim Horton's and McDonald's will not hire people who are overqualified because they present a flight risk. Time and money spent training them, and they know that person won't be there very long. They would rather hire people who they know will stick around longer, and who...

+1 to this! I'm about 15 lbs overweight according to cultural standards of so-called beauty and thinness... and I don't care. I'm not unhealthy, and if someone such as Roasted wants to see me as "weak" for refusing to abide by his rules of what constitutes 'strength' and a 'healthy attitude'...

I always love these highly simplified retorts to social assistance problems. Here are some reasons why able-bodied people may not be working: 1. Unemployment. I.e., They're actually unable to find a job they qualify for, or are educated for. 2. Single parenthood of a young child or children. Do...

I asked because the son of a friend of mine has an eating disorder. Looking at him is more revolting to me than someone who is overweight. No 24-year-old man should be 64 lbs! He obviously has some serious body dysmorphia and maintains that he's "fat and gross." Of course, this sort of thing...

Wait a second here... in your initial post you tell us you noticed a cop tailing you. Correct me if I'm wrong. How did you know this? Probably with the use of your rearview mirror, correct? Which you pointed out in your above post as well! If so, how do you not notice a child standing in your...

It seems to be a running theme here about people who are overweight. I.e., taking pot shots at them, poking fun, etc. So I'm curious about your sentiments regarding people who are underweight. What goes through your mind when you see someone who really, really needs to gain a good 20+ lbs? I'm...

I'll also throw in that anything with a lot of Vitamin C (such as grapefruit) also affects birth control pill effectiveness. Other innocuous things such as St. John's Wort and Echinacea tend to trigger MS attacks in those people with relapse-remitting MS. There are so many things that affect...

You wouldn't believe how often the bolt gun fails. I knew a guy who worked at Better Beef on the killing floor, so I'll take his word for it.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! I hope they're not ignoring the hairpin. The asphalt there was the worst of the worst.

In the future, remove the turn signal backing plates to keep this from happening again. They're not actually needed to keep the signals in place on those Ninjas. All they seem to do is punch a hole through the plastic when the bike is dropped.

Are you deluded about pig, cow and chicken farming? You want to talk torture, start watching farming and slaughterhouse vids. Fishing is the least of the evils by comparison. And let me just clarify something here: I love fish. I have three aquariums. I was vegetarian for years too. But...

lol!

What are you making the actually slider part of the slider out of? I.e., the pucks?

I just finished "Unsaid" by Neil Abramson. It's fiction, but discusses the ways that non-human animals are objectified and laws surrounding animals as property. Both research animals and pets are discussed, and moreover, the ways that human and non-human animals communicate. Written in the...

I've seen a guy with a URAL in Brampton. His Husky rides in the sidecar with doggles (doggy goggles). :)

He gave me a great deal on my Vortex rearsets two years ago as well. He also gives my b/f awesome prices for tires. Dave's a good guy. :)

Since all the obvious things have been suggested, how about the not so obvious? The GS500 riding position was upright. The SV position is more aggressive. Are you sure you're not putting pressure on the bars from the new riding position? I.e., putting weight onto the bars, and thus, making it...

I managed to get through 53 seconds of this. I want those 53 seconds back.

Meh. It's only a Ducati.
