  1. Obviously they don't, just using looted police gear from the look of it. Plates crudely cut from an excavator shovel makes really nice armor, the steel is excellent and such plate strapped to the chest will withstand multiple hits from but the strongest rounds without a problem. It should also be readily available if they can raid police stations. I only wish they knew that.
  2. For gods sake, somebody should tell those people that a shield made of a few layers of sheet metal and a soft body armor vest does nothing against rifle fire. In fact it makes the wounds even worse. Don't they have access to hardened construction steel sheets?
  3. Truckloads of bonus points for being a successful race car driver who will be competing in the 24 hour race of LeMans this year.
  4. Glue trap sounds needlessly messy, I'm using those traps that look like a miniature thunderdome with an opening at the top that is designed like a fish trap. Put some ham in there and you'll capture tons of mice.
  5. As much as I like ''fit girls'' I won't give thumbs up this time because I dislike women only doing leg exercises as much as men only doing upper body exercise. It just looks unbalanced and goofy.
  6. Giving Gran Turismo 6 another chance, even though its still a crap game. And I found out that one of my favorite shirts doesn't fit me anymore, can't even raise my hands without hearing the seams ripping. Meh.

  8. Pansies is what you get when you switch off Darwin's theory of evolution. Well done humanity!
  9. To be honest, I've never heard a single song from him, (with ''not a fan'' I meant his usual ravings), all I know is he dizzed Trent Reznor once and that automatically makes him a not so awesome person to me.
  10. Sounds more hardcore than it actually is, only one of the three cardio days is cycling 40+ kilometers and the four day weight lifting regime is actually a stretched and extended three day routine. I need to keep myself busy every day to get my mind off depressing thoughts and to keep an addiction away from me. Anyway, I just read an interesting article from Henry Rollins about lifting weights. I'm not really a fan of him but its an interesting read and I totally agree with almost all points he makes.
  11. I really didn't do anything other than work in the office, eat, breathe and crap, and now I'm bored. Now I feel the strange sudden urge to go to a really shabby underground techno club, snort some nose candy to get high as sh!t and party super hard for two days straight, with a couple of obligatory bar fights,. That would be sweet.
  12. But I chew it anyway, sides don't really matter if the object gets chewed to mush almost instantly. I still think the cause is an unknown chemical process, I just ate a banana by slicing off piece by piece and eating it right away, the taste seems only to improve when I wait a few seconds, it will taste the same if I eat the sliced off piece right away.
  13. Sea water? I'm currently starting a sea water aquarium myself.
  14. They'd totally Roy the hell out of me.
  15. When I saw them I really had to fight the urge to go cuddle and pet them. They were just big, cute furry cats.
  16. Man, thats just dumb. What always puzzles me is how they're not afraid at all, its a natural instinct to wet your pants at such heights to prevent yourself from doing anything stupid that gets you killed. I'm a mountain climber myself but I would never be able to do that......
  17. Ask him for Gefüllte Paprika and Wiener Gulasch! You won't be disappointed.
  18. Lets keep the conversation polite, shall we? I'll give an example. Its easy to get your body weight up to 95+ kilograms when doing lots of strength training, the muscle muss is required to lift the weights, and muscles weigh a lot, simple physics. And I'm not talking about professional athletes. Now put that person on a bike and let him compete against a hobby cyclist (again, not a professional), who weighs 15-20% less and has noticeably less rolling friction and aerodynamic drag. Its pretty clear how this race will end, simple physics. Both athletes aren't good at everything, though they're not even professional or Olympic athletes. Its absolutely true that you can be good at everything, but only up to a rather low level, but then things get complicated quickly and you have to choose. And thats just the physics, now lets take a look at exercise regime required to be good at everything. Serious strength training requires at least 3 days a week 1-1.5 hours of rigorous work. Cycling and running long distances will also require a min. of 3 days per week, each exercise stint taking 2-4 hours. Doing strength and cardio exercises on the same day is not recommended. Oh, and you should also throw in a couple of days of gymnastics and climbing for motor control, as you mentioned. And thats just the tip of the iceberg. I'm trying to be decent at strength and endurance and my exercise schedule is already hard as hell with 4 days strength and 3 days cardio, I barely have enough time for regeneration, and all that in combination with work and all my other duties. An exercise regime to be good at everything? Good luck with that. What makes you think you know my fitness goals? You don't even know that I'm NOT a body builder. Thats rather arrogant.
  19. Tried some ''towel pull ups'', got that idea from one guy on Youtube. You throw a towel over your pull-up bar, grab each end and do pull ups. If you think you have a good grip strength try that exercise, it basically simulates pulling your body weight on two ropes, and in my case thats almost 100kg. Great biceps and forearm exercise, feels a bit like bent forward rows, but way cooler.
  20. Why does a banana taste differently when you slice it before eating it? This question has irked me for quite a while now, banana slices taste much sweeter and more fruity than a banana eaten the old fashioned way, the difference is very noticeable. It must have something to do with the oxygen interacting with certain chemicals in the banana, but I really don't know.
