Ah, if only the world actually worked in such a wondrously ideal manner...:(

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

    Yeah, they never make mistakes, you do, wether you've done something or not. You will always end up paying for their mistakes sadly :/

    Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

    Spent the early day with trying to get my clutch sorted, got a different master clutch cylinder, brand new slave cylinder, braided hose from the master to the slave (Meaning there should be zero losses due to expansion and flexing). We force fed the slave with brakefluid with a primitive homemade "pump" (50cl plastic fizzy drink bottle with a hole drilled into the lid and a rubber hose to fit over the nipple), bled the system as well as we could.

     

    Still no real fricking improvement.

     

    I did have a sudden flash of inspiration, I reckon that the plastic pedal might be flexing a bit, though it might not be the case. The clutch only frees the flywheel at the very last millimetres of travel, and the pressure does'nt feel that great. still might be worth looking into.

     

    This is driving me "slightly" aggravated.

    First week of bootcamp is done. 7 more weeks to go.  :mellow: The instructors (about 4 or 5) are actually life guards and some compete in the ironman events. Training on the beach at 5.30am, doing push ups, sit ups, star jumps, running, more push ups and other stuff. I'm going to sleep well tonight. :lol:

    Heh, got a card today in the shape of a perforated ghost, inside it says 'Holey sheet--it's Halloween!'

     

    Happy Halloween, Obs

    All Stop. On Screen.

    My best friend who immigrated to Oz 18 months ago is back in SA for 1 month so we had an awesome reunion party today at a really festive restaurant ...loads of shooters, laughs and good food. It was great to see him and his wife again, I'll be seeing lots of them over the next 4 weeks  :dancing:

    Being called a douchebag by some woman because my dog woofed at her and wagged his tail was a new experience. Dude up the street certainly is a player, every weekend different women leave his house :lol:

     

    Sadly my dog has some corns on his feet that making walking painful - no idea how a dog gets this - so only outside activity is chilling with me on the steps or park.

    I harvested three tuck loads of pumpkins. On Friday, I took them to the farmers market in Covington. They paid $.035 per pound. All in all I sold them all for $211.  I kept one for me though.

    Free games updated 3/4/21

    Watching Beverly Hills Cop, smoking cigarillos and drinking rum and playing Jagged Alliance 2. I have to have some pleasure after this week.

    Yesterday and today were spent playing games, mostly. I also watched some football. Both regular and American. I left the house once this weekend. I've had a cold, but it seems to be better now, so I will most likely hit the gym tomorrow.

    I've been fighting Wordpress all day.  I could start over with my host's website builder, but I'm concerned I'll get in over my head that way.  Bleh, it's a mess.

    But a reserve on a car. A 2000 Acura Integra 

     

    http://images.gtcarlot.com/pictures/39990275.jpg

     

    That (including cover) for 3500 bucks overall, with a loan from the Bank of Mom And Pop. I might do some minor modifications to it (A rear spoiler, a different air intake and that's about it...) once I have the money for that sort of thing (or the mechanical knowhow to do it myself)

     

    The car I regretted giving up for my Volvo (back in 2014ish) was a 98 version.

    I decided to listen to Bartimaeus and stop pining after that girl.

    Then we ran into her with friends (who's adamant opinion was "you can do better, deserve better etc" and would roll eyes at the thought of her and I dating), and afterwards the very adamant friend apologised because they have now revised their opinion, having seen us talking and beaming like teenagers. Seriously, are friends allowed to do that? I thought they were 'sposed to be the voice of reason.
