It absolutely DID NOT fall at an acceleration that would result from freefall. It was actually significantly slower. Just because some idiot liars say it did fall too fast doesn't make it so. It is wise to be skeptical of the truthers at least as much as the establishment.

Anti Whale Terrorist Boat Gets Rammed
sundevil777 replied to Andy_Copland's topic in Speakers Corner
I saw the whale wars shows. It was so much crap that they think throwing bottles of stinky chemicals was OK, but when the other crew would throw large nuts at them, that was outrageous. They would be so much more successful, I think, if they would spend their money on a very visible PR campaign. The Japanese claim they're killing the whales for research, so they aren't restrained by the treaty, which is of course bullshit. Much more effective to have them called out for what they're doing in the press than how they are doing it.

Another Mechanical problem a real one this time
sundevil777 replied to Squeak's topic in The Bonfire
I second that diagnosis. Exactly the same sort of symptoms were common with really old Civics, including mine. The factory service center knew exactly what it was when I described it.

They were planning on a flight of 5 hours or so. I wouldn't be surprised if they had fuel on board for at least 7 hours or more.

Very exciting stuff. I'll definitely be watching. I remember how glued to the TV I was when the 777 first flew, with many of my designs in critical functions. It wasn't too long into the flight test program before had to use my alternate landing gear extension switch. I was so glad that it was a collared circuit breaker (maintenance had failed to remove it) that caused the need for the alternate extension switch to be used, and not something for which I was responsible. Designing airplane parts was a lot more fun than car parts. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Jesse Ventura talks like Kevin from "The Office"
sundevil777 replied to sundevil777's topic in Speakers Corner
Shouldn't even be compared to Mythbusters. They deal with myths, not conspiracies. Ventura hasn't dealt with the 9/11 crap yet. His first show was about the HAARP project. Mind control, deadly weapon, blah, blah. They even had interviews of local yahoos speculating about what they thought it was for. He was furious about not being allowed on the site, which he could have done if he had waited and made arrangements during their periodic open events: http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/faq.html People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Seriously, and he is about as intelligent as that character. I saw his conspiracy show, what a laugh! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am -

Is there any part of the truther's claims that you don't accept? Have they retracted any of their assertions? It is not wise to only be skeptical of one side. Again, again, again...how fast should the buildings have fallen? To just say they fell too close to freefall acceleration isn't an analysis, it is nothing but armchair engineering that is less than worthless.

Exactly how much slower than freefall acceleration should it have fallen? All you can say is that it should have been slower than it was, but you can't say how much slower. Do you think it should have noticeably paused at each floor? What do your truther engineer experts say, they should have an estimate based upon analysis, not just an assumption because it doesn't seem right. Also, are you ready to accept that not only were conservatives guilty of the conspiracy, but even Bush's political adversaries must at least be in on the cover up? You got nothing.

Having no problems with it is very different than being able to enjoy it without the severe cornering limitations. You adjusted your speed according to your knowledge of the bikes limitations. Being able to corner at more severe angles than your bike is capable is a safety matter, in my opinion. Of course there is room for everyone... I really have trouble believing that ape hanger handlebars are comfortable. I haven't personally experienced them, but I am very skeptical. I do strongly suspect that they reduce your ability to control the bike, and as such are worse than just the ordinary style sort of adornment.

As I mentioned before, I consider forward stupid because you can't stand up on the pegs like you can with a conventional footpeg position as needed to go over an obstacle/bump/pothole. I think that is stupid, I realize it is my opinion. There is no relation of this to the seating position in a car. I'm not talking about "that" far (extremes), I'm talking about the fact that I see so many cruiser bike needing to go very slow when they corner, to avoid scraping. They have very little ability to lean into a corner. I consider leaning into a corner (not to the point of any extremes) to be one of the joys of riding a bike. My friends that have taken their cruisers to the "tail of the dragon" or other similar twisties admit that they really can't enjoy it very much because they are so limited in their cornering ability. Such a limit on that ability is a safety related limitation on cruisers, they will dump you down if you scrape too much, and it is waay too easy to scrape too much. Anyway, I really enjoyed the South Park episode. I aplogize to those I've offended, but it is my honest opinion, and one I have chosen to share at risk of bringing such opinions on myself.

You mean like this one? I made it a link... That bike still has the way stupid forward foot position, but looks like it can corner better than most cruisers. That is likely due to the engine being a very short stroke design, and only 650cc. - so the cylinders aren't nearly as tall as long stroke mega displacement engines. What I'm talking about is like this: http://powersports.honda.com/2009/xr650l.aspx Plenty of power for highway speeds, but much greater capacity for fun. Some mfgs do models that are a bit more street oriented than this, I would consider them also.

You do realise that there are more than just Hardlys that are V Twins Duckes, Ricers, Guzzis. And if you need to blip the throttle at lights to keep it running LEARN TO SET THE IDLE CORRECTLY Yes, I do realize there are other types of Vtwins, I'm guilty of a bit of generalization, and I certainly recognize that it doesn't have to be a Harley to be insanely loud. I do love motorcycles. I don't like overly loud engines of any sort, but the cruiser style Vtwins are the best at their ability to make an insanely loud bark. I prefer the conventional seating posture (not cruiser style pegs forward or cafe racer style scrunched up) where you can actually stand up on the pegs if needed, such as when going over a bump. If you can't stand up on the pegs, you get launched up in the air by the seat. I prefer bikes where you can actually lean significantly into a corner. That doesn't require a cafe racer style, the normal seating position style bikes used to be able to corner quite well. The engine itself of a Vtwin is narrow, but usually a bunch of other shit is hung out on the sides so that overall it is really wide down low and unable to corner worth a darn, their riders have to have their legs spread wide when they should be the narrowest of bikes out there. If I were to get another bike, I think it would be one of the off road capable bikes. You can go over curbs, explore offroad, get airborne on certain bumps, high seating position, great cornering clearance, very maneuverable.

I was trying to figure out if you were really young or really old. Have you ever even riden a bike like the ones you are bitching about? Come on, I've been jumping for over 29 years. Yes, I have ridden cruisers. I put about 30K miles on the street when I lived in Phoenix, while going to college. Did a lot of dirt riding as a teenager.

Yeah, and they're really comfortable too... I mean I can ride one for 5 or 6 hours....that shit is gay.... I mean what fun is it when my back doesn't hurt? Oh and that whole able to take stuff in a saddle bag and make it an overnighter? Gay too.... Can you point me in the direction of a counselor? Touring bikes have highway pegs also, but they aren't the only place to put your feet. Saddle bags aren't unique to cruisers. I was referring to the things that set cruiser bikes apart - overly loud, little cornering clearance, too far forward pegs. You're not understanding the new meaning of "fag". It has nothing to do with sexual orientation. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I'm too old and sensible to be into any car with a soupcan exhaust or glow kit. I do find it possible to appreciate the sound of an internal combustion engine, but it shouldn't hurt. The term ricer should be considered a form of racist slur, in my opinion. I worked for Honda R&D for many years, and know well the effort that is expended on achieving a pleasant exhaust sound. Way back in the days of the 6 cylinder Honda CBX, they achieved a sound much like an F16, but again it didn't hurt.

If I were to use a device that is loud enough to in fact be illegal in many states (the laws just aren't enforced, unfortunately) that will cause hearing damage, such as an air horn, point it at you close by and use it, I think most would not defend the right to do that. Why should it be any less objectionable when done by the exhaust of a motorcycle. As I've said in other posts, there are many other things really stupid about cruiser bikes, such as their stupidly forward footpeg position. Can't even stand up on the pegs in a normal manner if you have to go over a bump because the pegs are as far forward as the hand grips. Vtwins should be a narrow engine design, but instead the design is executed in a way that makes them incapable of hard turns. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2854394;search_string=cruiser;#2854394 People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Provoking such a violent reaction would of course be unwise, even if someone were capable of preventing the potential attacker from doing harm. Everything about cruiser bikes suck. They don't do anything well compared to other motorcycles except make noise. Those sucky enough to choose that style of motorcycle should seek counseling.
