Small penis big car men
Sense of self aggrandizement for women
Crappp at driving but neeed huge car to keep up with the Jones'/feel they impress someone, somewhere.
We are plagued with the same issues - I can neither understand the need for them or stand the sight of them.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I think it's also their size and sound proofing means the driver doesn't really feel the threats or the speed sensation.
Have been in one as a passenger and a quick glance at the speedo had the car at 135mph; felt no different to 60mph.0 -
Most French milk is UHT. It isn't just different, it's absolute crap.0

Hmm. There is a dairy farm not far from me which has signs outside offering for sale raw Jersey milk. Not much of a milko me, morning muesli and that's it, but this thread has piqued an interest. Is on one of my regular loops. Might call in by, get a pint, stick in jersey pocket to bring home. Nice bit of bouncing and sweating should improve it, no?0

One near us had to stop selling after ppl started getting ill from it. They've sorted the issue out and selling it again.
Aren't raw milk sellers only allowed to sell to ppl within a certain.distance of the farm?0 -
Interestinger and interestinger. Dunno. I'll ask. Maybe I'll need to bring ID / passport / proof of address... Def going to stop in by next time I ride that loop. All these different worlds out there eh?Tangled Metal wrote:One near us had to stop selling after ppl started getting ill from it. They've sorted the issue out and selling it again.

If it's like proper full cream Jersey milk from Jersey cows it'll be lush.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

My current one is - why does milk taste so different from country to country when cows in most developed countries eat a similar type of feed? French semi-skimmed is far different to ours.
Not sure about France, but milk is sweetened in the US and Mexico. It's no wonder every third person is overweight.

Ok, here's another question that always bugs me:
Why do so many sportswomen have "fat" faces?
See so many female cyclists/tennis players who have chubby cheeks - why is it?0 -

It's really not as fat as the US or Mexico, though.Ben

Fattest population in Europe and although I couldn't really be bothered to look for world figures you're probably up there with the US.

Like I said, you had no need to prove this to me. But you can rest assured that the UK isn't as fat as the US or Trump's favourite neighbours!Ben

Size of vehicle - they sit above most other road users - so they can see in front.
The vehicle is high, wide, stable & quiet so speed sensation is minimal ... plus I still think there's a sense of superiority0 -
Nah, I think it's because they're all c*nts.
My Dad drives one, so I can back up my thinking.0 -

Went to see a comedian a little while ago, he reckoned big black 4x4s are there to save the drivers the bother of having to actually tell everyone they are a c*nt. It was funny when he said it though.0

Had a black range rover with red line around the edge of the grill (probably a very expensive, sporty and limited edition version) speed up to me and sit a couple of metres back trying to.intimidate me. Hah! I dropped to 20mph at the first warning sign for a 30mph zone. You know those where you have three signs with the speed limit that's approaching with three then two then one diagonal line(s) to get ppl to slow for the zone. I think he got annoyed because he drove closer. Then he backed off. Once he did that and kept his distance for a while I picked up my speed. I hate cnuts who try to intimidate you to speed up.
BTW what is it with mini drivers? Especially female mini drivers? Round my way they're manic or just ignorant drivers.0 -

Yeah, I once had a land rover get annoyed that I was passing lorries in a two lane bit of the A1 at 80 rather than 100.
I gave him a thumbs up when I finally passed all the lorries and let him through, and he immediately swerved over and brake tested me, the nutter.0 -

That or they are doped. A certain German cyclist was well known for having a chubby face.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Q.
In films where they are on a submarine, you can something like "take us upto fifty feet, zero bubble".
What's the zero bubble bit? I suspect it could be keeping the sub even, but I've never heard any other 'bubble'.
The older I get, the better I was.0 -
Not a submariner, but I believe you can use your "fins" for want of a better word to move up and down, or ballast/air to go up or down quicker. And vertically, rather than on the move, as in the first bit.Capt Slog wrote:Q.

Slog...
The up or down angle of the boat, with a “zero bubble” means being on an even keel.
The bubble may have to be changed to maintain depth. For example, if the ship is getting heavier as it’s making water, or lighter due to pumping sanitaries or any other myriad evolutions, you may have to pitch the ship’s nose down to stop from rising or pitch it up to stop the boat from sinking. The ship could also be out of trim fore to aft, not only heavy or light overall.
Rarely do you have a zero bubble though, right around a ½ degree up is fine and at periscope depth you actually want an up angle of 1, 1.5 degrees or so depending on sea state.
This up angle at periscope depth accomplishes several things: it keeps the screw from broaching in case you suddenly pitch down (the screw can’t do its job if it’s in the air and not the water), it keeps the scope clear, and it keeps the expanse of the ship aft of the sail lower, thereby lessening suction upward by wave action (because of the Bernoulli Effect).
Or something like that. 0 -

I knew the radioactive people would be around to explain this.

"milk is sweetened in the US"
Define "milk" and "sweetened."
A liquid produced by a mammal - normally for feeding offspring.
Made to taste sweeter.
Unless I'm missing something?
Your first definition is what is sold here in the US. Milk is sweetened to make beverages like chocolate or strawberry milk. Otherwise, it's just plain ole white milk.Infinite diversity, infinte variations0 -

Ah, I think I know the source of your misapprehension: there are variations of condensed milk that are sweetened. You have your own, too.
