    Impressions Of The Day

    alright one more thing and THEN I'll shut up ... if you are really stuck, you can also take out the mats/carpets from inside the car and put them under and in front of the wheels to help you find traction (or behind the wheels if you are going backwards).

    Impressions Of The Day

    What kind of car? Did you only have one wheel spinning? If so, next time you're stuck in the middle of the desert like that, try pressing the brake (not all the way) and then give it some gas (all in first gear) at the same time as pressing the brake. The other thing you want to do is to drop the air pressure in the tires. If you have one of those small air compressors, drop it very low (maybe 12PSI) but if not, then you don't want to go too low since you won't be going anywhere with flat tires obviously On a related note, it's always a good idea to carry one of those cheap air compressors in the car that plug into the cigarette lighter (I've seen them as low as $7 at Walmart). Also, you can try to put a jack under the car, raise the wheel, and fill up under it with sand ... this might work in some cases but not if you're stuck really bad and if there is no firm place to put the jack ... carrying a piece of wood or firm base for the jack is also a good idea. Now once you start moving, keep moving and let the momentum take you back to the road... don't try to turn too sharply and don't slow down or else you'll sink again. .. ok ok I'll shut up now. I know it's too late now.
  3. Pointless? Don't tell me you didn't see how it immediately went from "Turk, Kurd, Israel" to "Nazi and Holocaust"... seems to me the point is fairly clear
  4. http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/MTX/jackhammer.1.wmv Mosjan, you think you could fit one of those Jackhammers in your "new" car?
  5. We kicked Arthur out and Accelerated has matured a LOT since those early days. But the reason I said that was because especially in this forum, the typical Armenian male chauvinist stereotype (which is valid in many other Armenian circles I am sure) doesn't really apply.
  6. What "guys" are you talking about? The only one that commented about her post was Armen. So shame on him and you for shaming others who didn't deserve to be shamed here.
  7. Mine is the Asus A7N8X-E MB .. excellent board with the Nvidia nForce chipset and 6 channel audio, SATA interface, USB, Firewire, etc. Actually the first one I had just died on me 2 weeks ago but the place I bought it from replaced it under warranty since Asus has a 3 year warranty. I had never seen a motherboard die like that before but it just went POOOF and wouldn't start up again Video card ... Asus Radeon 9600XT ... the main reason I went with Asus on this one was because it had video in and supports dual monitor with VGA and DVI. A lot of other Radeon boards didn't have one or the other. Memory: 1 Gig Corsair XMS 2-3-2-6 (matched pair running at 400Mhz) ... I tried some others includig Kingston KVR but they weren't stable on this motherboard at 400Mhz FSB. I've had this set up for more than a year and a half so it's a bit old but it has worked quite well.
  8. Ahaaaa ... women troubles! Don't wory Armen dude ... it just seems more depressing than it actually is
  9. Well that and I might max up the credit cards Credit won't matter once you're dead
  10. The reason I would want to know is to know how much to eat. If I am not going to have to live till very old, then there's no reason to cut back on the cheese, meat, and ketchup. If I am going to die in a plane crash at 45, then I think I could do buffet EVERY DAY
  11. I might have to take a road trip now to get a special horseradish As far as my screen(s), it really varries. My home desktop has 2 screens ... a 22" running at 1024x768 (I hate looking at really small resolution), and a 19" LCD at 1280x1024. But then I also tend to surf on a sony T-series laptop with a 10" LCD ... not much room on that... it also depends on how many things I have downloading/uploading in the background which sometimes really affects my surfing bandwidth. Kiluminati ... I like that CPU fan! I recently had to upgrade mine since mine would overhead (AMD 3200XP). I got one of these Volcano fans and it made a world of difference. Before my CPU would get to 70F and sometimes crash (at 73F). Now, even at only 3000 RPM, it rarely gets above 50F. If I bump the fan up to 3500-4000 RPM, CPU stays at 47F!
  12. wow those pics are HUGE ... please try to keep them down to around 50K in size and less then 800x600 in resolution when posting directly in threads. Feel free to link to big images. I updated the title for now. Nice pictures though (the couple I did manage to see). I'll comment on the rest later when I can see them
  13. Color? Contrast? Curtains? Flowers and books? Are we still talking about the bathroom? All I needed was a good size UPS box that my jeep winch came in to stack my 4x4 magazines on.
  14. Michael Connelly's Trunk Music? That's some fancy bathroom readin Good job on the remodel
  15. Hey, that kind of entertainment doesn't come cheap ... unless there's a buffet involved.
  16. You're all just jealous. Are any of you in the top 40? I thought so.
  17. Interesting ....... I like the way Germans say his name ... Arrrrrra sh.
  18. Anything extreme is evil (Even "good").
  19. If it's not Jewhova's Witnesses, it's those damn Scientologists ... when will humanity ever evolve to a point beyond having the need for any religion?
  20. It's about 230 miles away but I'm definitely going to go check it out!
  21. :drool: :drool: I shall post about a local mexican place very soon. They got some VERY cool stuff.
  22. I just talked to Him ... He is VERY willing! So good luck
  23. Wow no wonder he had to have tripple bypass ... 3 times the stress
