*laughs* Drive I5 sometime. You get passed like you're standing still if you're only going 75 and generally if you want to pass someone else, you'd best get up to speed quickly or that car that was miles back will be in your trunk. I'm not saying this is safe, mind you, I'm just pointing out that so...

Jeffs, do me a favor and kill that avatar, will you? It's not showing up and it's so big that it's wacking out the formating.

edit: oh wait, should use my femanine wiles. *Bats her eyelashes and pouts her lips a bit* Pretty please? *tries really really hard to keep a straight face*

Nah, they haven't got a clue. They're just offering their opinions in a way that sounds authoritative. It's one of the first lessons you learn in engineering but most guys can do it instinctively. Seriously, though, if it's not acting funny, don't worry about it, but keep your ears open in case it D...

I'm here! I've just been at home and actually had things to do. I normally only post from work.

It doesn't make any sense to me. A heavier knob would require more work to move (force=mass*accelleration so greater mass means more force). Of course, it would also require more work to stop, so maybe that's why. I dunno. My guess is that it only feels different but isn't actually.

Myspace is teh Evil. I'm only on it so I could oggle a guy who was chasing a friend of mine. I never use it. (Sorry, can't pass up a chance to bash that site. It's just too easy)

Mine is from when I was still in HS. At the time, I was obessed with dragons and Tiamat is a dragon in a creation myth. She's a symbol of chaos.

Tobi, that's probably an excelent idea. I've only ever ground the gears when I've been manhandling the shifter, anyway. I'll have to work on that.

Beat her into submission? *looks innocent*

Other than that I can't help you. My sis and I only shared a room for about a week before our folks got sick of the screaming fights. We're twins, though, so the dynamic is a bit different. I would guess that ignoring her would work well.

I took French Horn lessons for six years or so. I just got too busy for it, I guess. I still have it. My neighbors will hate me, but I'm thinking of picking it up again.

Otherwise, I just don't watch much TV. I'd rather read, or surf the internet or chat or something. Or marathon anime with friends...

I'm of the opinion that 2 things should be entirely socialized in the US, healthy care, and education. That's just my opinion, though.

I've never been to an ER for any reason, despite being an accident prone child. I just never did any serious damage.

I think she probably plays the standard string bass (also called a bass violin, I heard) rather than a bass guitar. Just assuming, given her icon. Poor cello players, they just don't know what they're missing.
