I'd have thought that would be common enough in Taipei.
I see them - sports cars done up with racing mods - occasionally in Toronto.

They might be. I'm not a car person or a very outdoorsy person, so I generally don't pay much attention even if a cool car drives past. It's just that this particular one had a funky paint scheme that made it look very much like a racecar, so the incongruity was enough to make me notice.
It was white with red stripes and kinda reminded me of Herbie.

Oh, it was a big pretty white car with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looked like a big Tylenol!

Yeah, I hate that shit. Adguard for android can only help so much.
And I hate this shit:
What really infuriates me about that shit is sometimes I click on "something" my phone briefly flashes up a box the size and shape of the "something else" link around the "something" & THEN moves the "something" link down & the "something else" link into where the box flashed up. So you ADMIT that I actually pressed on the "something" & you still gave me "something else". Fuck. You.And I hate this shit:
Part of my payment for the trip was some fireworks. I was supposed to hang out with a friend cook steaks and shoot fireworks. My friend did not return my call. I just did not think I'd get much joy from shooting all those expensive fireworks alone. I did set off the largest one in my front yard. Like I thought it just isn't as fun with out others around. So once my next door neighbors start shooting their fireworks, I walked over to their back yard and made my contribution.
Minor mistake, because the stuff I gave them is really good, and FUCKING LOUD! I actually flinched a couple of times, and I used to hang out at gun ranges.
Anybody feel the Earthquake that hit Montana last night? Some said they could feel it as far as Vancouver.
Just curious. Didn't say any casualties (very minor one) so just a curiosity right now. This question would be in a different thread if it was "big".

Just had my first real 'bar' experience last night. And I can't stop laughing. I don't know this life. What is HAPPENING?
One of the guys my friend and I were playing pool with legit stood behind me and tried to help me. Like, fool, you're so drunk, go sit down, I got this shit.

Methinks he just wanted an excuse to rub up on ya.
Haha, I'm aware.
I still told him to go sit down.
EDIT: I'm also shocked that the whole 'here let me help you *SLIDES BEHIND YOU*' ploy is real. It's not just for movies apparently.

You have to remember a shocking number of people learn all their courtship rituals from pop culture. Just be glad they don't stand outside your bedroom window with a boombox over their head or something.
WHAT DECADE IS THIS?!
The worst offender of this for me is Halforums. That menu bar is irritating.And I hate this shit:
I respectfully disagree. I like having it there at the end of a long page.
Context, man. The bar itself is nice. It's behaviour ain't.
The bar doesn't start floating until after the page has fully loaded - and by that point I've already scrolled down to a link I want to click. It's when that's the moment the page finishes loading, and the bar starts floating and pushes the link down away from under my finger that's irritating.
Yeah, context. I use Tapatalk on my phone instead of the browser.
It used to be worse. There were separate regular and pro versions, and then separate iPhone and iPad versions of each of those. And then they forgot which was which, so the pro wasn't pro anymore.
Now I think it's all settled into one app.
Pokemon or Big Data?
Basically, you have to see if you can tell if a word is a term from the Big Data field (ie a type of technology or the name of a firm) or the name of a Pokemon.
As a Pokemon nerd, I got them all right on my first try, but I'll admit there were a few close calls.

The first thing it asked me was "Seahorse" which I was told got right, and that it was not to be confused with the pokeman named Horsea. Very next item it asks me to identify is Horsea
Now I'm trying to remember the name of the Jeopardy category that is all obvious answers. You know, the one where the clue is "Put your Hancock here is a reference to this founding father."
Wait, that doesn't work? There goes like 50% of my game.
This G20 Summit is the worst thing after WW2 that ever happened to my city. Riots on the streets, people hating other people for either supporting the police or the protesters...
Luckily I am leaving for Italy tonight.

I am seriously jealous of you Europeans being able to just hop on a train and go to France/Belgium/Italy/etc for the weekend.
Well, you Americans can just hop on a plane and go to New York/LA/Houston/Florida. It's kind of similar

Not So Much Anymore. Flying has become a real pain in the ass. I'm not sure why Google voice recognition decided to capitalize every word of my first sentence in this post.Well, you Americans can just hop on a plane and go to New York/LA/Houston/Florida. It's kind of similar
How Can Capitalization Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real?
I mean...it just doesn't work on me.
It could work on others!But it might be the worst beer ever.
No way. Shiner Smokehaus is by far the worst beer I've ever had. I'd drink Heinikens and Coors lite the rest of my life over drinking that terribleness.
Also, those super sweet root beer beers are pretty bad too. Mostly b/c they are way too sweet.
