The Buddha

Quote from: k.rollin on September 17, 2012, 03:09:34 PM
Ah, I missed the path bit.

OT: The air filter being located inside the backbone of the XV535 Virago. That bike only makes it about 80 miles before hitting reserve on account of the small underseat tank, and that super wide backbone makes finding a tank that looks right and has a wide enough tunnel a pain in the hind end. Seriously contemplating buying some DOM tubing and building a custom frame instead.

Grappled with this problem a plenty ...
Here was the solution I came up with. Do not cut that frame, too many things hang off it ... Get a savage tank and hammer the inside. I own a savage now, but never owned a virago 535 and savage @ the same time ... but I think its possible to ... if you want to, I'll send you a savage tank I have ... I'm gonna want it back ... trial fit it and you'd know. I actually have a virago 535 tank too ... I'll check if it will fit the savage.
Cool.
Buddha.

Janx, that's true, all of God's creatures, up to and including some "Long Pig" which you can still get in some areas of ecuador, with your salad and chips.
I'm not a racist, some of my best friends are you people.

Meat eaters who try to proclaim their niceness by saying the animals they are eating was killed humanely.

Um, excuse me, it was killed. There is nothing humane about killing.  :icon_rolleyes:

Thank you Huff. My point being, they are trying to say how Caring they are to animals in the way they Kill them. If they Cared as claimed, then Killing them is not an option.

Better to "keep it real" and just kill the animal without the "I care for animals" mantra. There is more honor in the truth.

On the flip side, vegans who are fanatic in their approach Preaching to people who eat meat about how Cruel the animals is treated before it ends up on the table.

Message to both sides... you will not turn the meat eaters into vegans and the vegans will not suddenly eat meat - so - let them be and just do what you think is right for you without trying to justify or persuade others to your cause.

Michael
vegans who preach like you said. i reply with. well youre eating teh animals food. how cruel is that. i belong to PETA. people eating tasty animals. that aside,
on youtube videos reading the replies. U , ur, boi? hunny, wat, and other misspelled replies. hello this is youtube. youve got more than 160 characters to reply. spell it out. even those where english is not their primary language, can write better than that

Veagans who say they don't eat things that are intelligent. Hello trees talk it's been proven. So if plants can talk to each other what you going to eat now?

People who tailgate you and abuse you for not driving faster when your doing the speed limit. Stupid little P plate backwards hat wearing fat slob.

People who Could google stuff to find the answer themselves - but don't and instead spending time(which could have been spent googling) writing out questions on discussion boards.

Long Pig
slang term for human flesh prepared as the flesh of a pig. Usually used to sell human flesh to tourists in East Asian countries. Long Pig is best when avoided entirely.
long pig is people!!!

My coffee going cold while away from my desk.
Getting called away from my desk as soon as I make fresh coffee.
IT telling me no one uses a program. I'm asking for it back for a reason obviously.
The US help desk system telling me it doesn't know how to bill for Australian's therefore it can't help me. Yet I ask the American next to me to log the same ticket (and he is on the same project) and they fix it straight away for him cause he is an American... One company my arse.
Car driver's assuming I'll move out of their way cause they want to merge. Choose a gap like everyone else and indicate, otherwise its a boot for you.

Seen this happen in 3 companies, including the one I work for now:

1. IT Service and Support Organization says "We need enterprise class software and reporting tools to operate properly"
2. IT Service and Support Organization gets Enterprise Class Tools.
3. Management then says "We don't need as many staff to run IT Service and Support Organization now that we have efficient tools."
4. Management fires a significant portion of the staff.
5. Remaining staff quits over the next 6 months in protest of #4.
6. Management has to hire all new staff.  No one knows how to use tools described in #1 and #2.

Tools only solve part of the problem....Cycle starts all over again.
Bikeless and Broke at the moment...

Dude you call this annoying reasons 1-6. I call it job security ... rather employment security.
I spend my work life patching other people's mistakes.
I get laid off and promptly the failures start to occour.
They hire the next monkey to repeat the process.
I go on to be the next monkey in the next group.
Repeat.

I will do exactly as I am told.
The instant I leave I can be hired right back and I will say I know nothing of the particulars of their installation. I will spend the next 3 months learning. If I am laid off in 6 months, too bad, I will repeat this gladly all day every day year over year ...

As soon as the state of texas executes one of these corporations I'll start to care about them ... naaa sorry I dont think even then I will.

Cool.
Buddha.

Radio stations playing depressive slit your wrist music.

DJs in the morning show our arvo show who think they ares funny when they aren't and spend more time talking non funny stuff than music - one tune every 15 minutes doesn't cut it.

Normally I would not care, but I work in Audit and Compliance, so come audit time, it's frustrating.
