    Stop being irrational, stop being apathetic, stop ignoring the evidence. If you want to eat meat, you'd better be able to justify it.

    Umm, lets see. My body was designed to eat meat. You should see how I react to a lack of protein...

    Yep, quite a lovely article that was in our campus newspaper by the resident retard.

    Who goes to KState with those ideals? It's an agricultural school. Oh wait, my sister is going there and she's a vegetarian.

    If that RCA knob isn't powered, all it can do is cut the signal. So if your head unit puts out 2v down the RCAs, that knob can only adjust the level going to the amp from 0 to 2 volts. Same thing as the regular volume knob on your head unit. It would also be the same as a sub level setting on your head unit if it had a dedicated sub RCA output.

    The remote knob for the amp, provided it's not just a bass boost, is an actual gain knob. It adjusts the amp's input level based on the input voltage from the RCAs.

    So one adjust the voltage, the other reacts to the voltage provided. There's really no reason to run the RCA knob since you have a remote gain now.

    Dang I'm tired. Haven't slept well in a week. probably won't tonight, either, since my shoulder pain came back today. Just a dull ache inside my right shoulder, feels like right at the socket, that can be either a minor nuisance or a complete make-you-go-crazy hard ache for hours. I'm wondering if the semi-cold weather this morning (55* and 15 mph wind) that I stood in to watch the gf's coed flag football team get destroyed had something to do with it.

    Fall/winter sure let us know it was on the way.

    Time to smoke some ribs. Was going to do it tomorrow since KU plays tonight at 6 and it's on an obscure channel I'd have to go to a sports bar to watch, but all of my friends have other plans already. So I may as well smoke them today and maybe the game will be on the internets

    Mexico, the Caribbean, New Zealand, all sorts of options. All better than dealing with the worlds worst tourists in Hawaii.

    Don't go to mexico right now it so bad with all the drug wars now....

    Cancun is pretty safe, and absolutely gorgeous.

    Some of my friends went to I believe Cancun about two months ago, and a couple days after they left there were a couple of dead Americans found somewhere around there.

    According to Neil Barofsky, the treasury department's inspector general, in order for the U.S. government to break even on its investment in General Motors, the company's stock will have to hit at least $133.78 a share. Thanks to the massive auto industry bailout, the government currently holds a total of 304 million shares of common stock and $2.1 billion in preferred stock in the automaker. According to The Detroit News, Barofsky has said that he will keep a close eye on the GM IPO in order to get the best return on the tax payer's investment possible.

    But will GM stock hit the magic number? Some analysts seem to think so. There's some buzz that when GM goes public, its stock will be worth well over $100 per share. The company has already begun to make noise indicating that soon after the November 2 elections, it will begin a campaign to build interest in its IPO, so anything's possible.

    if we actually make a profit off this bailout I think I might literally laugh my ass off :roflmao:

    If I recall, they already made a profit on the big banks they bailed out.

    saw a thing on the history channel about cruise ships and I threw up in my mouth a little

    honestly who the fuck would want to go on a fucking cruise

    Some of the best family vacations I have had have been on a cruise. I try and take the family on a cruise every year. Believe it or not if you know how to book they are very inexpensive.

    Do tell the secrets!

    I became good friends with a booking agent for Carnival, she advises me baised on how many cabins I am booking. Sometimes during the low season you can get below cost bookings which is my favorite time to go. Less kids running around misbehaving and acting like idiots.

    The gf and I just popped up an idea to go to Hawaii sometime, neither of us have been. Looked it up and the offseason (I think it said september-early december) actually has the best weather. Most people go when the weather is the most rainy- during the winter. Deals are so much better in the offseason. We thought of going on a cruise before. She has been on a couple and really liked them, I've never been on one. But there are different cruises, not every one schedules everything for you.

    Don't. So MANY better places than Hawaii. Way too spendy for what it is.

    Suggestions?

    Goals?

    Oh.....fun in the sun on a beach? Mountains to hike would be nice.

    I know a guy from New Zealand, and the gf and I have talked about going to Australia as well. New Zealand does look nice and interesting. Hmm.

    while I'm thinking about it, any reputable places online to get a decent quality steering wheel spinner knob?

    for the E55 ? :P

    Nah, this is for the Blue Meanie :D

    My friend in high school was going to get one for his 80s full size Blazer, but he said they are illegal in passenger vehicles. Not sure on this, might want to check if you care.

    I used some seafoam about two years ago on the explorer when it had about 170k miles. I put about 1/3 into a vacuum line and the rest into the gas tank. Surprisingly, for that many miles, I actually didn't have very much smoke at all. Barely any in fact. Which was a bit weird since only a year later my gas pedal started sticking because my throttle body was so greased up. I didn't really notice any difference in gas mileage, throttle response, idle, etc. after using it. I was afraid to use it in the oil because with that many miles I was a bit hesitant about it breaking up deposits that were actually holding seals together and causing leaks, as you said.

    Almost everyone of my friends even first timers have been thinking about the ink lately.

    Something is in the air.

    I think the recession is wearing on people. I also think right now is a baby boom because of it. Soooo many people I know are having babies right now. Although I am also just getting to that age. Around 25-26 lots of people have babies.
