Rich man is talking to his poor friend.

Poor man asks rich man, what did you get your wife for Christmas? Rich man says, I got her a set of diamond earings and a Mercedes, so if she doesnt like the earrings at least she'll like the Mercedes.

Rich man asks poor man what he got his wife for Christmas. Poor man says, a hair brush and a dildo. That way, if she doesnt like the hairbrush, she can go fuck herself.

Luckily the nerves have already been deadened so I can't really feel it. Just means I have to be extra careful with it or it'll get really bad really fast.

Yeah. Pain actually serves a purpose. One of them is to inform you when you're being a dumb ass.

When I was a Bouncer, a guy tried to kick me in the head..did not work out well for him..his girl friend thought I killed him...she kept screming ...he's dead he's dead.....took a while for him to wake up.

Kicking (trying to) someone in the head is never going to work out too well for you.:judge:

There are much better ways to inflict pain....:crutches:

Back to life from the track this weekend...Almost died hahaha hey all. Oh and ouch that looks like it hurts.

Every time it heals it comes back stronger. My feet are already like clubs, I didn't know it was bad until Saturday. Knocked my sparring partner all kinds of wonky.

You don't have to believe me....it is your life......:pot_stir:

Remember it is a LONG way from the floor to my head...all kinds of bad things can happen to you while that foot is moving....just a fact.

I just don't want to see you get hurt thinking a kick is all doing.....I've taken guys apart that believe the kick--any kind-- is going to work for them.

If....and that is in most cases...I've caught the foot/leg in mid kick...you can figure out the rest...it isn't pretty.

Just be careful...you may run into someone that is fast enough to catch the move.

Yup. Then you get a person who knows how to kick, and is so ridiculously fast with it that it's never seen. The dojo is for practicing premise, the street it a different story. My ankle is broken because my kick connected in a safe way. If it were the street it would have been the bottom of my foot, and certainly not to the head. I know if I can connect with another black belt, that a lay person has no shot. Period. 100Lbs or 300lbs the knee only requires 16lbs of force to shatter.

Awww nothing much just went off the track at like 100+ it was not so awesome. I was still able to finish with 2nd place in my class so I'm pretty stoked about that not going to lie.

16 lbs....I thought it 14.5 lbs. :p
In my training (body guard) we were schooled to inflict massive amounts of pain very quickly. Have taken out an instructor of the arts in a street fight..I can say it is very effective.


Just saying be careful...there is always someone that just might have the edge over you. Confidence in your own ability is always good...I'm sure you are the best at what you do.....but one wrong move against the wrong person can be deadly.

Damn...where did all this come from....that's what I get for going back to work.:p

All cosmetic, paint chips and rims scuffed up a bit.

In my training (defensive tactics) we're trained to train people to kill people. I know more well than anyone here if I can crush someones skull with a kick, then a kick the the leg is devastating, lethal in the right spots. Again, dojo is for premise.

There's zones for strikes, a kick never goes above the waist, and a hand never goes below the waist. If their head is below your waist, kick away. You get the picture, i'm not new. In 21 years i've been fucked up in every way imaginable.

[enkeivette]

A kick is great, till you come up on someone who checks your kick and breaks your leg. Maybe someone old school who was taught not to let on about their training, and they catch you off guard...

Fighters say size doesnt matter, and big dudes say kung phoey doesnt do shit. The reality is, they both matter. Look at the best UFC fighters, theyre big AND they know martial arts. Thats no coincidence.

Glenn is a big dude, and I have no doubt he could fuck someone up within an inch of their life.

And Guy, to have deadened nerves, he must have had enough practice to be able to fuck someone up just the same.

Moral of the story, youre all bad mother fuckers, but now a days guns arent hard to come by. And size and kung phoey dont do shit from 30 feet away. So take it easy you mongoloids, before my shotgun wielding mom blows a ten inch hole in you :)

Right, and that's why I spent so much time focusing on defensive tactics with a specialty in close quarters combat and weapon defense(i can't stop a bullet but I can increase the likelihood of stripping the gun before it's pointed at me). A kick is just a tool, just like a punch, like an elbow, like a knee, like a head butt, like a shin like a, like a, like a. Knowing when and where to use the tool is what makes a person dangerous. Not doing something because there's risk of it being stopped is a no no. I've caught more peoples arms than kicks. It's like saying don't throw a punch because someone will break your elbow.

[enkeivette]

Haha, no Im not saying dont fight. Im just saying check your testosterone because you never know what youre up against. If you learned mainly defense, great, be defensive, not offensive.

There were two temperamental kids known for being fighters from my hs class. Adam Hall and Andy Thompson. Andy Thompson was stabbed and killed a few years ago, and Adam Hall is now in prison for murder or manslaughter. No thank you.

[fiveohwblow]

I'm probably the strongest guy here.

I've been stabbed in the face, not a fun thing.

All I was saying from the beginning was that just because it's not ideal doesn't mean you don't practice it in the dojo. I would never kick someone above the knee on the street, but that doesn't mean I should'nt train to kick to the head. In fact I don't fight on the street at all, no fun fighting a person who cries when he tries to punch you and ends up punching something else when you move.

[enkeivette]

When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had resorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No. I believe his tissues has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.

[Vettezuki]

I've only sent one personn to an ER, not on purpose, and hey, he was trying to take my coke. But mostly I'm nothing but peaches, love and sunshine. Anti-confrontational in the Buddhist sense.

The biggest problem I see with real street fights is that you don't know dick about shit. You may be doing just peachy with when dude, and then poof five of his friends with bats turn the tide. . . let's say.

Vettezuki's approach.
Don't go to stupid places with stupid people and do stupid things.

Amazing how far jus this goes!

Always deescalate a confrontation, walk away, whatever. Who gives a fuck if some dipshit loser thinks you're a pussy.

Beyond this I carry some nasty pepper spray. I'm not interested in fighting. Ok, maybe one in 10,000 can take pepper spray and still be trouble, the other 99.999% are going to be real preoccupied real fast. You can carry it almost anywhere without trouble, unlike a gun, and it doesn't present other problems . . . like accidentally killing other people.

It's a Netflix original series about nasty washington DC politics (politicians fucking each other up, so I kind of like it!) It seems to be based on an old BBC series with a similar basic premise.

Kevin Spacey (Francis) thinks after many years of dutiful service he's in line for Secretary of State. Except he gets passed over for internal political reasons. From there, he basically goes to war.

[Shaolin Crane]

I've done several all nighters this year but i'm looking forward to the weekend with my brothers and having dinner at Prime for the first time since "we" split. It's my early bday gift to myself since I have finals ON my bday. Ghey.

[enkeivette]

I had a friend who got mad when I called stuff gay. So I tried to turn it around. I started saying gay instead of cool, never caught on... Gay.

Motorgen vegas trip would be fun. Everyone likes booze and strippers. These are universal truths.

PS, if anyone is about to say that they dont like strippers, I will just assume that youre trying to look good in front of your lady friend. And its ok, I understand. I will TRY not to think less of you.

[enkeivette]

PS PS, I looked at the ingredients on the back of a bottle of 5 hour energy. Water, sucrose, potassium sorbate (preservative). Thats right folks, its a $5 1oz bottle of sugar water.

If anyone wants the recipe to make it at home, I did some research for you. Just mix:

Sugar
and water.

Boom.

Potassium is critical to nerve/muscle function. Skip the sugar water, eat a banana and go to bed!

If you need a little bump and are otherwise ok, caffeine mmkay.


Beyond this, if you're chronically tired, you need to do an audit of what the fuck you are doing. If you get it right, you should wake up ready to kick ass, then kick ass, get tired, then go to bed.

It irresponsible to drink and drive, and it's even more irresponsible for someone with my training to drink and, well, be. I have lethal knowledge in my head and i'd sure hate to drink and wake up in shackles because I killed someone unintentionally. Oh and it's a poison, bad for your body, etc etc.

It seems you associate drinking purely with wreckless and irresponsible behavior. That's kinda sad. Some of my happiest moments are dinners with colleagues in Japan at the end of long difficult projects, pouring drinks for each other; getting a little buzz on and enjoying lots of conversation.

With precious few exceptions, anything is a poison in large enough quantities. This is described by the expression, "it's the dose that makes the poison." Alcohol in moderation is fine. In large regular amounts, it can massively fuck up your liver and brain. It's also one of the very few drugs (yes, drug) that can kill you in withdrawls if you just stop "cold turkey". It is severely chemically addicting. That's true. This is one of the reasons it's a comical farce that pot is illegal. But I digress.

However, combined with the antioxidants and resveritrol of red wine, moderate amounts indicate net positive health benefits. (Moderate drinkers have the longest life spans BTW, though disentangling all the reasons why is not so clear.)

Thats because reducing your proper judgment and getting "buzzed" is irresponsible. I don't need alcohol to enjoy moments in life. Everything I do is uniquely my own, I don't need something to enhance them nor do I need something to numb them. The only "alteration" of mood I use is natural, gym, fighting, art etc. This will remain, I do not need a stimulant of any kind.

It irresponsible to drink and drive, and it's even more irresponsible for someone with my training to drink and, well, be. I have lethal knowledge in my head and i'd sure hate to drink and wake up in shackles because I killed someone unintentionally. Oh and it's a poison, bad for your body, etc etc.

Youre so humble.

I used to drive home drunk, but some mothers got madd.

Btw, while body building youre supposed to sleep 9-10 hours every night.

[enkeivette]

Thats because reducing your proper judgment and getting "buzzed" is irresponsible. I don't need alcohol to enjoy moments in life. Everything I do is uniquely my own, I don't need something to enhance them nor do I need something to numb them. The only "alteration" of mood I use is natural, gym, fighting, art etc. This will remain, I do not need a stimulant of any kind.

Lets drink till we cant feel feelings anymore.

[enkeivette]

I have dated Strippers...no thank you on ever doing it again...way too much drama...:rolleyes2:

Ya, but they are a fantastic place to hide your dick.

I dated a girl who later became a stripper, does that count? Haha.

That reminds me, I was at Taboo with my buddy once, and this red head we knew from high school comes out. She starts dancing, gets topless, sees us, and takes off. It was obvious because its a fully nude club, and she left only topless mid-song... Poor girl. Ha

Yeah I know, every body is different. I sleep until I wake up, typically 3-5 hours. Life isn't optimum for lifting, we make due with what we have and are able to accomplish. I'd love to work out the Arnold way, morning workout, massages all day then a night workout topped with steroids and what not but it don't work that way.

Strictly late model. I prefer German auto above the substandard and below par US junk. GM lost me years ago, and only has gotten worse. That's not retarded.

On that note, what the hell is gender identity other than a reflection of what we see in the mirror? I think transgender people are just messed up in the head.

I dont feel like a man, I dont feel like a woman either, I feel like me. I like cars, lifting weights, hate sports, hate beer, and I like to fondle boobs. I mean, wanting to fuck girls obviously isnt gender identity, because some girls want to fuck other girls too... so you cant say thats what makes me feel like a man.

So I guess my point is, hobbies dont define your gender, and neither does sexuality. So if I dont feel my gender gene deep inside, how do transgender people? Do they really feel different? Or are they just fucked in the head sexually and want to surgically mangle their genitalia for some self-richeous fucked up fantasy?

If you want to say a transgender person's naturally occurring neurobiology affects their self-image and is incongruous with their sex identity (morphology: male vs. female) and describe that as "fucked in the head", then there's not so much to argue about other than your not so sensitive choice of words. Bottom line, they can lead perfectly happy and fulfilling lives by aligning their gender self-identity and sexual morphology. Changing morphology is trivial compared to changing the underlying neuro-biology (which is not all that well understood, and may simply be impossible). But by refusing to align them they create a situation of misery for themselves.

No, misery and conflict are not necessarily equivalent terms. Suffering would be closer. It's an interesting question, but one of semantics really.

If the rates of depression and suicide, especially among LGBT teens is any indication, misery is probably the right word in their case.

Ok here we go. No. Im saying there is no such separate thing as sex identity, there is only sexual orientation (which is not sex identity), cultural customs, and self-image. Phones dying, post more in a sec!

[enkeivette]

Cont. So basically, the reason we identify with a certain sex is visual, sexual, and cultural. So we should exclude sexuality, since not all gays are transgender.

So we're left with cultural and visual. Visual, well no, transgender people arent born looking like the opposite sex, so that cant be the cause of their feelings. So cultural? Thats whats left. Can a desire to wear dresses and drink pina coladas really be strong enough to make a guy want to cut his dick off and grow boobs? No.

Its a combination of factors that makes us feel masculine or feminine. But most of those factors arent strong enough to cause a need for a total flip flop. Look at Richard Simmons versus Clint Eastwood. Simmons is about as feminine on the male scale as it gets, but he doesnt want to be a girl. So feminine cultural preferences and sexuality arent enough to cause the want to be different. Simmons mainly feels like a man because he LOOKS like a man.

So since transgender people dont identify with what they see in the mirror, what is the cause of their feeling this way? Its beyond visual, beyond cultural, beyond sexual, whats left?! IMHO - Psychological trauma.

[Vettezuki]

Ok here we go. No. Im saying there is no such separate thing as sex identity, there is only sexual orientation (which is not sex identity), cultural customs, and self-image. Phones dying, post more in a sec!

There is your sex (male vs. female).
There is sexual orientation (which sex(es) you like to have sex with)
There is gender, which is a psychological/cultural phenomena, but related to sex.

There is no "sex identity" since you're either male or female (leaving out hermaphrodites, etc.)

There IS gender identity, which crosses between what you are and what you think you are. That's the issue. When they don't match, you have a problem.

The harder question is why do people think they're something they're not (in a physiological sense)? Well that probably has both physiological foundations itself (brain function) and metaphysical/cognitive issues interacting.

My simple answer is that so long as people are not harming others, which I define pretty narrowly, I would not act against them, but accept them as they present themselves. This is key. My only "warning" is to explore that it's not a cover for something else. You can't step back from sexual alteration, especially male -> female, and it would be tradgedy if it was really something else that was eating at you. For this reason, I think it's generally good/safe advice to avoid sex chang operations until full adulthood, which is mid twenties or later.

These are my opinions and arguments, based on my imperfect information.

I agree with your break down of it. This paragraph above is what Im trying to get at mainly. What are those physiological causes? And if gender identity is a thing, what cant I pinpoint it myself? Can you?

Two interesting things I learned tonight that made me question my position:

First, my lesbian friend indicated in this conversation that her gf kinda sorta wishes she was a guy. A lesbian that Ive been hanging out with for years (Im friends with her too) is... I guess verging on transgender. This makes me wonder how many gays out there feel this way, and maybe cultural choices and sexual preferences have more to do with gender identity than I realize.

Second, she pointed out that without having felt "it" myself, its difficult for me to single out what a gender identity feeling is in the first place. It may be sub conscious and taken for granted.

[Shaolin Crane]

One more week of school. Then I get to work on the cars, feels like forever since I've done so.

This shit is WAY the fuck complicated. This and other issues is why I think it's a good idea to default to "do as though wilt, harm no one." I just don't know. So what's best? People living happy fulfilling lives, free from self-induced suffering seems like an inherent good.

The 383 Ls1/ls6 stroker kits go perfectly in that block and iron is good for holding power. Might just be time for turbo 383 bastard vehicle.

Guy, I think you should drop into a GT, Rons generation. I feel like that would piss people off more than putting it in a Fox, plus those cars are sexy bitches.

Surprisingly there are more LS son cars than foxes. And I sold it to my buddy who's putting it in his gs300.

Hey Ben, does a .45 bullet flare out to be the exact same diameter as the shell it came out of? If so, what is the absolute longest .45 bullet I could get?

[BRUTAL64]

So...is it 45 ACP or 45-70....:judge:

[enkeivette]

? ...45 caliber bullet. I want to know if the bullet is a smaller diameter than the shell, and the longest 45 bullet I can get, shell not included.

You're not making sense

[enkeivette]

You're not making sense

Makes perfect sense, you're not understanding.

Bullet OD = Shell OD?
Longest 45 bullet (only, w/o shell)?

[enkeivette]

This is a 38, the head is a smaller diameter than the shell, so that it can fit into the shell. Some bullets flare out, like a dick head, and become about the same diameter as their shell.

If I were asking about a 38, the answer to my question would be no. I figured Ben would know since he handles bullets a lot.

Caliber is diameter. .45 means .45" wide. Different bullets (the actual projectile) can have different lengths for a given caliber. Total cartridge length (casing + bullet) can have very slightly different lengths for a given application like .45 ACP (typical handgun), but not much since it relates to how the cartridge feeds.

Why do you ask?

[enkeivette]

I need to fix this pump that uses obsolete ceramic pistons. I had a 45 shell lying around and it fits perfectly. I was thinking if a 45 bullet was the same diameter (at its widest) as the shell, than I could use a bullet (without the shell) as a replacement piston.

But if 45s look like that 38, being a smaller diameter than the shell, it would be too loose.

[Shaolin Crane]

You could probably use a .50AE round as a replacement. Or a .50BEO .50BMG etc.

[BRUTAL64]

Makes perfect sense, you're not understanding.

Bullet OD = Shell OD?

Case ID is smaller than bullet OD...case needs to be flared.

Over all round length is 1.250 but some have gotten 1.267 to function. Bullet length is determined by power fill in case.

[enkeivette]

Way too short. I was hoping for some 3 inch military shit. I think Ill go down to McFadden and look for some brass or aluminum rod and hope to get lucky.

[Shaolin Crane]

.454 Casual casing might work.

[enkeivette]

.454 Casual casing might work.

Ya? Ill check it out, thanks man

[BRUTAL64]

S&W 460 uses a .45 and is longer than 454 Casull

From the unexpected history of words. Also Guy prefers the French pronunciation of his name.

The German meaning was "thirst for blood and war"

[Shaolin Crane]

From Name Origins
" German Meaning:
The name Guy is a German baby name. In German the meaning of the name Guy is: warrior. "

Was required to do a report on the meanings of our names when we were in grade school. My christian school was less than pleased with my findings and tried to "alter" my report. Hilarious.

Also, let the italian jokes start because Guy=Guidano/Guido and has nearly the same meaning in italian lineage. Which is why my dad chose the name Guy, to honor my grandfather (Guidano/Gpa Guy) And the German Heritage too. Boom, doesn't seem like such a lazy choice now does it?

Sorry to disappoint, but Guy is Norman French for the ancient Germanic Wido which goes back into Pagan Germanic times and is related to the element "Wood"

http://www.behindthename.com/name/guy

Guido is Italian for Guy though. So naming you Guy after grandpa Guido is sensible enough. But it appears to have nothing to do with the idea of "warrior".

Krieger is German for warrior/soldier.

Like Robby Krieger, guitarist from The Doors.

The German form of Guy is Veit.

[Shaolin Crane]

Maybe the actual translation of the word in German, but it's verifiable by several different lineage markers. Not just one site, hundreds, I even remember the book they had us use. There was some German knight who went haywire and was beheading people n the battlefield as he saw fit. Not a good name to name your child from what I remember. Names will have different meaning over the word. I can supply the multiple links when I get home.

[Vettezuki]

I've also known a few Americans named Guy. There are some famous French Canadian athletes named Guy. A shit ton of French dudes named Guy. I have a bunch of German colleagues. I've never heard the name used among modern Germans.

The only actual formal etymolgy TRACING the name I can find is French Norman from Old German (Wido).

I don't particularly care. Simply I NEVER thought of Guy as a German name and can't find much (any) actual evidence to support it. But I haven't put a lot of time into it. I stand to be corrected.

Anyway, I love the French. A lot of great things about their culture and a very rich history. In no way I'm sideways making fun of you for having what I think of as a French name.

[Shaolin Crane]

I'm just saying I have done the research before, so did my dad. Even a quick Google search confirms what I've always believed. More than enough effort has been placed for it.

[Vettezuki]

Your Google must work different than mine. I did, however, find a list of 524 male names connoting warrior. Guy wasn't it in it. :smack:

http://www.20000-names.com/warrior_names_fighter_names_male_02.htm

I'm just fucking with you now. I like the name. And for that matter I like wood. And I like French culture. You're either a warrior type or your not. A rose is a rose by any other name home slice.

I left at 1pm hoping to avoid traffic. Apparently UCLAs graduation was yesterday. Plus, a semi had to get towed in the middle of the 5 in downtown LA. Tacking 3 hours of traffic onto a 6 hour drive is just not fair.

The single reason I am so worried about my potential future. I've all but convinced my CEO to open another office, and he has a raging hard on for LA... I already hate traffic as it is... These stories aren't normal, but hours of traffic to cross the city is. Ugh.

I work in hollywood and yes traffic is a son of a bitch. I'm luck I get to carpool with a guy who lives about 10 mins from my house and we work later (start work at 10) so we miss most of the traffic. But still a normal day is 1:15 mins each way. (70ish miles)

I work with a few people that live less then 20 miles away from the office and it takes them over 45 mins to get in.
