  1. Is the rest of the world having crazy weather lately? Like one second blue skies and warm then the next lashing down rain? Changes every couple hours. Black magic fuckery.

  2. I hate painting. Waiting till it dries just so you can sand it down again to fix some little bitch imperfection.

  3. So I just looked up the price for a uh... above board copy of 3ds max. Holy shit.

      well the only people that actually pay for the software are companies so the price needs to be inflated to account for all of the people that just pirate it

  4. I really really want a 2 door tahoe.

      I like those 2drs, dont see them all that often either.

  5. Realising how cynical I am is directly related to how much time I spend on the internet. Old people didn't even have the internet, imagine the generations after them.

      It sure does have a way of taking the fun out of everything.

  6. Well... it's that day again. I woke up and had a breakfast of egg, bacon and jaeger bombs. Gotta start as you mean to continue. Hope wherever you are you have a good one! Happy paddys day fellas.

      Thanks man..thing is brutal

  8. So apparently in the 90s a 42v system was proposed to replace 12v in cars... Damn that would've been nice. Anyone remember it at all? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42-volt_electrical_system

      Takes 1 amp to kill a man

      Power is v^2/r.

      With normal 12v, the resistance of your skin is so high that even if you were to grab the battery posts, the amount of power flowing through you is negligible. But at 48v - 16 times the power, who knows. Maybe it might not be so negligible anymore lol

    4. Chris Hammer

      Chris Hammer

      42v would have been cool...imagine an 8ga run and 30amp fuse to do over 1000W lol...one run of 0/1 cable would be good for 10k hahah

  9. I'd just like to say a quick thanks to smd. As a source of knowledge and a community you have taught me a lot. I don't post all that much but you better believe quite a bit of my time spent researching something is done on this very site. Realised you don't really get the recognition you deserve. So just thanks to all of you.

      x2. Love this place. Probably a little too addicted.

  10. I hate being sick... Damn chest infection. There's just something about not working that makes me crack up.

  11. So it turns out some garage in my town is selling dirty diesel... my da's megane is pretty much ruined. Fuel pump has been disintegrating because of it, creating iron filings. Fuel system has to be replaced from tank, fuel lines, rail, injectors and a new pump. Quoted 2 and a half grand. Fucking bastards.

      yup... we had a joint sell bad diesel to one of our drivers and it cost us a motor. we went back, video taped us getting a gallon in a can, and sent it out to be analyzed, got the results back, confronted who needed to with proof, and they decided footing the bill for our new motor waqs better than us suing the shit out of them.

      Yep convinced him to make the call to customs. Pretty much know the garage. It's a cash only place. Shady.

      I had a similar experience traveling with a company truck. Stopped for a tank of gas (diesel) and received about 70% fuel and 30% water. Stalled out a ways down the highway.

  12. You just can't go wrong with chilli con carne.

  13. Why did they have to get rid of having the quote tags visible? That shit was handy.

    1. 8ight

      8ight

      I've been missing that myself, made getting quotes out of pyramids rather easy.

      No doubt, it's far too frustrating trying to edit it.

  14. Now I think about it do americans celebrate pancake tuesday at all? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday I mean no one really cares about the religious aspect but it's more just we can get diabetically fat on pancakes and anyone who judges you is shunned from society for the day.

      Who said for breakfast? Pancakes ALL day! Not those pre bought shits though. Not real pancakes. I'm with you though, waffles are on another level.

    4. Leo1103

      Leo1103

      pancakes for breakfast and desert waffles for lunch!

  15. I'm wearing a suit drinking absinthe on smd. I feel sophisticated. Drunk as fuck, but still sophisticated. Bitta early preparation for my boys 21st tonight. Have a good weekend fellas.

      He is an ex cop who was fired for filing a false statement. He has vowed revenge against the officers who have wronged him and has killed I believe 5 so far. Most of Cali is looking for him right now.

      My uncle and GF dad are part of a special taskforce the SanBernardino Sheriffs Dept. has put together to find this guy. Every LEO in SoCal is looking for this cocksucker right now.

    4. Chris Hammer

      I put my money on it he never makes it to trial...I would be genuinely surprised if they didn't kill him.

      Not at all, it's brilliant seeing the site grow. It's just a little odd going into a thread and sometimes not having a clue who any of the "users reading this topic" are :rofl:

  21. So a couple days ago it was found out that a couple companies selling cheap burgers in Ireland had horse meat in them... most only had traces but one had 29%. What the fuck.
