OH YEAHFor those wondering, I did catch up with DiDio at FanExpo, he remembered me and stopped to chat about the con, and how he loves Toronto, then I told him I was 17 last year when he hit on me, to which he responded "Ooooh boy. well... I'm just gonna go now".I managed to stop him and tell him I'd be back next year with a portfolio.I'm now known by name to Dan DiDio. yes I know nothing will probably come of it but it's a story

>>270844haha fucking cool

Dog, why are you eating my curry. Is it the turmeric? You're supposed to hate spicy things; you are a dog.
Okay guys.I have... a huge post incoming, bigger than my usual posts.So.I have this friend, let's call him Friend A. We've been friends for a few years now and he's a cool dude, he used to have a crush on me, but I have never shown interest in him whatsoever.So, then there's Friend B. Friend B is a friend of Friend A. Friend B is an awesome person and I am just gonna say it straight out that I fancy him.Now.Friend B and I really hit it off at Friend A's party last Saturday, and we kissed at one point. I really... connected with this guy, and I wanted to get to know him more so I chatted a lot to him for the past few days and I invited him out too and everything.Today, I was supposed to go on a date with him.But Friend A decided to show up and SURPRISE visit Friend B. And so I couldn't go hang with Friend B. Then, a little later. Friend B logs on MSN and informs me that Friend A told him that he is not comfortable with Friend B and I hanging out too much. He doesn't want us to develop anything beyond a chatting-friendship.And so because Friend B is a nice and respectable person he tells me we need to lay low and just wait for time to go.BUT.I am SUPER FUCKING UPSET NOW. Because Friend A just fucked me over. -HE- doesn't want me to hang out with Friend B because he still sorta crushes on me apparently, but... oh my god. That is so...selfish of him. He's trying to control a part of my life and I am NOT okay with this.I am SO upset with this guy and he's supposed to throw his birthday party this Saturday, but I am deliberating now on NOT going out of fucking spite.TL;DRFRIEND SCREWED ME OVER, I MAD, WANT TO DITCH FRIEND FOR A BIT.
>>270925So, yell at him about it. "Friend A! I mean Carl! You are overstepping the boundaries of our relationship by cockblocking me! This is quite rude!" etc. etc. It's not like it's not gonna blow up anyway.
>>270925Jazz do youDo you need a hug?
Is it a bad sign that I feel bad for the Discovery Channel Hostage Taker guy who got shot and killed today?He seemed to have valid concerns, and this Daniel Quinn guy he was reading has some great ideas and I love the fact that we share the whole "environmentalists need to remember that humans are still part of nature, not sinners against it" thing.He just seemed to have invalid ways of expressing it.
>>270932I need a face I can BEAT REPEATEDLY FOR HOURS.I MEAN.HOLY SHIT. I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY, BUT HE'S SELFISHLY TELLING HIM HE CAN'T SEE ME BECAUSE BOO HOO HE CAN'T GET OVER HIS UNREQUITED CRUSH.THIS GUY LIKES ME TOO.I LIKE HIM.HE'S A DECENT GUY.SFGHSKFØ SHSJHSLKHKJSF HJSKSFSHCOCKSHITNIGGERASSFARTNIPPLINGSHITCOCKERS.FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.I just want to kill him.So.So.So.So.So.So.Sooooo much right now.
>>270936God, are you like, 13?Firstly, let's clarify. Does Friend A know 100% that you're not interested? Or have you simply 'not shown interest'. You have to lay that shit on the line, or else he'll cling to the hope like a retard. Secondly, he's a douche, but you're the one whining about it on the internet. Pull up your pants, stop hitting the keyboard, and tell Friend A that he has no control over Friend B or your lives and decisions. Compromise and tell him you promise that if anything comes of it you won't do anything in his presence or talk about it to him to make him uncomfortable. If he doesn't go with that, then you're mad at him already, tell him to go fuck himself. And Friend B clearly likes Friend A enough to respect his wishes, so try to also respect Friend B if he still doesn't want to pursue. Or he might be very, very nicely blowing you off using Friend A as a scapegoat.
>>270936Do it anyway.
ugg why can't I get a interest in geologyI mean imagining it, the rocks and shit should not bore me this hard
>>270935Goddamnit, I didn't know he flatlined after the confrontation with police. I took a break from the media reports shortly after it was reported that he had been shot and implied to be in stable condition. His death will drag this whole incident even deeper into the confusing morass of information.
>>270935Problem is, his way of expressing it is going to set enviromentalism back in the 'crazy hippie' zone.
>>270941No...sorry Red... I'm just really upset, I get very...upset when I am upset. I'll be less of a raging cunt later.Sorry again...To answer your questions, yes. We've discussed it and I have told him several times I have no interest.I just found out about it, and while I REALLY want to confront him about it, it's his birthday this saturday and Friend B told me I should wait until after it, which I agree with, because...you don't want to fuck shit up for people on their birthday.Friend B does want to pursue, but does not want to ruin something between me and Friend A, or himself and Friend A.I can UNDERSTAND where he comes from, but it's still unacceptable and it really -hurt- me.
>>270941>God, are you like, 13? thiswho the fuck talks about ~high school romance drama~ on a fucking imageboard anyway. keep it on your lifejournal.
>>270944Because geology is boring.

>>270909Mi-2 Hoplites are a dime a dozen. Honestly, the Ukraine is more than willing to sell it's aircraft to civilians for pennies on the dollar.MiG-15's/17's will fetch between $40,000-$150. The higher end of that figure being true Russian made onesMiG-21's will run anywhere between $20,000 to $90,000. The early MiG-21FM-13's are the lowest end, the MiG-21bis will be $50,000 or so and the MiG-21UM trainer will be the high end.MiG-23 Floggers of all variants are $60,000+, but you'd be hard pressed to find a single seater.The most popular civilian owned jet warbirds are those Czech Aero Vodochodys I love so much. The L-29 and L-29R will run you anywhere between $30,000 and $60,000. I've honestly never seen one over 100k. The most popular has to be the L-39C/ZO/ZA. They range in price from $110K up to well over $400K depending on the avionics within it. Their operating costs are very reasonable (Save for fuel consumption, that's still pretty steep) and most upper middle class Americans and Canadians can afford them.That's just jets, Nanchang CJ-6A's and Yakovlev Yak-52's are really cheap to acquire; as low as $30,000 for the CJ-6A. Mind you, spending more money on the CJ would be advisable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtV0fffbUyoThis one here probably is worth close to $100k. It's got an upgraded engine; instead of the little 280HP Chinese put put, it's got a 360HP Russian M14P. But, with that money you get an airplane that has a really nice fuel burn (14 gallons per hour), long range, and can do pretty much anything when it comes to fun aerobatics. And that's just with the stock powerplant, as well.And, another thing to keep in mind is that most aircraft loans can be paid back in terms similar to a house, 10 years and up, even.Now, if you're REALLY fucking rich:http://www.prideaircraft.com/flanker.htmOh yeah, if any of you live in small towns, they usually have local airshows at their municipal fields during the summer and early fall months. People just fly in their airplanes and show them off. You'll see lots of Texans and Nanchangs, but this is a chance for you. You see those assholes that always got nice cars from daddy? They never gave me any issues, but they always disgusted me with their arrogance. Taxing up next to them, as close as you can get so they can see their corvettes and skylines right next to your motherfucking Su-27UB Flanker-C.
Why does the world have Oxygen, Lifetime and We? Isn't one channel enough?:X
A customer made me blush today.:3
>>270977Cont'dThe L-29's low acquisition costs stems from a lot of factors, none of which include "it's a bad aircraft." Couldn't be farther from the truth; they're great fun. The biggest factor is the L-39. When the Soviets got the L-39 in the 70's and 80's they just left their '29's to rot. Infact, a lot of American buyers in the 80's bought L-29's from the Czechs as they had no use for them anymore, save for the L-29R which was a cheap recon platform. But, after the fall of the wall, everyone wanted the L-39, so once again, there's just no demand for the L-29. They're aren't too far off, performance wise from the L-39. They can even take off from grass strips, something I wouldn't dare try in an L-39. They also burn about 50 gallons less per hour. But, again, these are old aircraft. They were used to transition pilots into jets in preparation for service in MiG-21's and 23's. The MiG-29 demanded a much more technologically advanced trainer than the L-29, so there goes it's value. It's still used in service around African nations as a trainer, recon aircraft, and light attack platform, but it's got no value to large nations, that'd buy them en masse.The biggest catch is that you require a type rating for them as a pilot. To attain it, you need 1000 hours of flight time over all, 500 of which with you as Pilot in command.So, they aren't so much a rich boy's toy as they are a toy for professional pilots: People with lots of flight hours.
>>270982So the only thing wrong with this thing is that it takes a good aviator to use it?What a drag.
>>270982you should write a newsletter
I really don't have a future.
I acquired a thermos yesterday. Today I used it, and omg I am in love. This thing kept my coffee steaming hot for at least ten hours, and it's large enough that I should be able to save quite a bit of money by bringing coffee with me instead of buying it.
>>270984Semi Good, I'd say. They're very easy to fly. If it weren't for the engine spool up, I'd say they're well within the capabilities of the average PPL holder. Those Props I mentioned, however, I'm 99% positive all you need is a high performance and complex endorsement. You can get that right after you get your basic private license, and it takes maybe 3-5 hours of flight time. I'll have to go digging through my FAR/AIM book to be sure.>>270986Too bad almost no one would read it :(
>>270987Welcome to the club, fellow. The only way out is going to be to lose some bones getting there.
>open accounting textbook>see this>search for context>there is nonewhat does this mean
>>270994It means the author thinks accountants are fools.
>>270993What?If there is a way out that doesn't involve suicide I'm all ears.
>>270991I'm curious.Are you like, some sort of financial wizard to own all these planes?Cause uh, if you are, I got a bridge plane i'm willing to sell you...
Still pondering a good website idea. I love working with HTML/CSS and want to put those skills to some sort of use.
>>270999its called go outside and dont waste time listening to retarded posters liek rametarin
There's a guy on /pco/ bragging about chasing off good artists out of spite and he just fills me with rage. The whole small-minded psychology that he represents, the meaningless desire to ruin people's work as punishment for imagined hubris, and the fact that no matter how much you hate him it only makes him happier combines into something that would make Jesus spit. People like him, the true trolls of the world, make me so angry.
>>270986>>270991I for one enjoy just about every post you make.
>>271003But it is said that "Man cannot job by outside alone."
>>271006This is true, I once outsided for a while and got only change.
>>271004Got it.
>>271004But I guess I should consider the probable life problems that made him go to such lengths for a sense of self-worth. I still hate what he does, though.
>>271008You are a good man.

So guys, I need a little advice.My best friend and I are completely stupid for each other. She's seriously my favorite person and she's the same about me. We kinda went through a short thing of making out and such a couple weeks ago. Afterwards, she stopped and told me that she's doesn't wanna jump into a relationship with me because she's afraid that like if we were to get into some fight, or, such, she'd have no one to turn to or that she'd lose me. This girl SERIOUSLY depends on me emotionally and such. We talked about it again tonight, her stating once again that her primary concern was losing me. She say she feels like she's cursed. Every one of her past relationships ended horribly. Her last one with a guy she was friends with previously. The one before that was abusive. She's never had a good relationship. So, she's afraid of some other non-existent shoe dropping if we were to declare ourselves in a relationship. I've told her countless times that she's never gonna lose me. Hell, I still talk to my ex-FIANCE and she cheated on me for the last 3 months of our relationship.So, guys, any sage-like advice?
>>271000Actually I don't own any of these lovely warbirds, just yet. I could get one, and I'm thinking of getting a 29, but I'm stingey as shit. I really REALLY want to wait until I'm more financially secure. What I do own is a Cessna 207, that's my working bird. I just got rid of a Comanche, which was a bad idea to get in the first place. I never used it, so I got rid of it. I used to also own a Cessna 150. I get most of my aviation provided funds from instruction, so I usually instruct out of my Boss's 172. Most of what I know about the finances involved with these warbirds is acquired through me bumming around Airshows and talking to owners. I do have 30 hours in jets, however. Mostly in the L-39 and some in the 29. The hours I have acquired in warbirds consist of me flying with the owner and splitting the gas expenditure.My biggest secrets are My car is total shit. It's '92. My house is also pretty run down, as well. Looks nice inside, but outside it's not so much. Still it's not bad for a house built in the 1920's as a hunting lodge.>>271005Thanks broseph! Have a T-28b Trojan (Fennec to Europeans). This is what 1,400 horsepower looks like.
>>271001Make a blog of >>271014 's posts.
I shouldn't be allowed to have my pants off while I'm using sharpies.
>>271015Yeah, that's a good idea too.But the downside is that it doesn't indulge my vanity!
>>271013Well, going to commit a faux pas and double post.It's really hard to get someone to trust you in that sense, you know? If she's had that kind of bad luck, the best you can do is stress the idea that you're logical and reasonable. Stress it to her that there's very little she could do that would drive you away short of malice on her part. Let her know that you would approach any pothole in the road ahead with a level head and not be prone to overly-emotional reactions. I've grown very untrustworthy of women, but you make it sound as if she is sincere and this isn't the typical "it's not you, it's me" bullshit. An abusive prior arrangement would bring about such doubts, I would imagine. There really isn't much you can do, save for hinting at the positive trait of having a cool head. At least in my experience, which may be lacking as I don't go out of my way to date.
>>271004I just read about that. That was a really shitty guy.

ME AND MY FIANCE ARE GOING TO DISNEYLAND FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY WHICH IS SUPER COOL BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO DISNEYLAND OR DISNEY WORLD AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO OMGBUTWE WILL ALSO BE THERE FOR THE PREMIER OF TR2NAND THIShttp://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/09/first-look-at-electronica/I am not even joking, this will be the best vacation/anniversary of my life.
>>271039Disneyland is super cooooooool you are going to have so much funWhen are you going?! This is very important to know because they dress up the Haunted Mansion for Halloween/Christmas!!!
I'm guessing it is safe to assume that no one except for me will be going to anime fest? I'll mostly be helping some friends sell shit so that's probably for the best but just curious. Now to think of what to commission from Matt Herms this time...>>271039that almost sounds like the best vacation/anniversary of anyone's life, really.
>>271039You are going to have the most fun in the universe, I guarantee you that!Three little things you should know:Food and drink there is EXPENSIVE knockoffs of McDonald's and the like, so bring water bottles/head to the actual restaurants there (as I recall from years of practically living in the place, there's only two in the whole park compared to like three stands per themed "Land") instead of the designated food courts.California Adventure is a nice detour, but not the main route you'll ever want to drive on. Enjoy the fuck out of Disneyland, go to Adventure only if you happen to already have a ticket.Finally: don't try anything silly for the camera on the rides. Sometimes they're good about it, most of the time they're pricks.
>>271045Also, don't eat in the park at all if you can help it! Othar is right, it's really expensive. The only restraunt in the park really worth stopping at, The Blue Bayou will require you to make reservations 48 hours ahead. That's the one that located inside the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Man, I took a caffeine pill and I've become all sorts of social and energetic and fun! I really hope caffeine doesn't have any drawback or anything.
>>271052It eats at your body's resources. Or rather, caffeine doesn't give you energy, it makes you use up any readily available source. It rarely ever burns up fat, but it'll sure as hell use up whatever else you've eaten recently. Thus, it HURTS on an empty stomach, doesn't matter if it's coffee, chocolate, or a caffeine pill, the effects are the same.Also for some people (like me!), too much caffeine will have the opposite effect and make you kind of sleepy.
