i have more stamina than people 1/2 my age.. go figure
This is Asia - I really don't understand the savagery to living things in these countries (middle east is similar). In Vietnam/Thailand etc, they believe that cruelty make the meat taste better (WTF????). I'd love a rabies epidemic or something similar to wipe them out. Rant off.
Graphic!

To be fair, our western mass production farms don't treat our animals with respect either.
Ok did 2 oil changes this morning. The Hondas last change was at mr.lube and i didn't have any issues with the change.
the mustangs last change was at the dealership, I needed to use my 1/2" ratchet to get the plug off, it was pretty damn tight and the head was rounded off to make it worse. I bought a new drain plug. The oil filter was pretty fucking tight on there too. Plus I noticed all the oil and grime on the wires leading into the steering below the oil filter, so cleaned that. I used a piece of plastic to make a shield to prevent oil from dripping on shit.
Glad I do my own small maintenance shit.
Every other oil change Don
Not really a fair comparison actually. You can't compare - it's flawed logic. I agree there are problems that need to be fixed in the process here and some companies are responding to it (eg. after Lino Saputo saw MFA's undercover footage of practices at one of their supplier farms he implemented changes to where/how they source raw dairy products from suppliers and inspection processes - I believe he also dropped that supplier which can be catastrophic in terms of that supplier's ability to stay in business; Saputo is one of top 3 dairy product producers in Canada and a publicly traded company; the workers at that dairy farm were also fired and charged with cruelty and abuse - which I think should and will eventually extend to management and owners).
We also do have animal welfare laws that while archaic by today's standards and almost 100 years old in some cases, does require stunning, prescribes fast methods of killing, etc before killing (so we can't beat a cow on the head with a sledgehammer repeatedly until it dies a slow agonizing death, or beat dogs on the head with pipes and leave them writhing/convulsing on the floor for a while before boiling them while they are still alive).
Asia does not have any of this, no inspection, and also believe that torturing dogs before killing them to eat make them taste better. They like to boil dogs alive as well because of the believe it make them taste better. Not sure why they still have these twisted beliefs that savage cruelty is good or acceptable - I mean they do use other modern technology.
Do you know anyone who believes torturing animals here makes the meat you eat every day taste better? There is no scientific basis for this belief. Animals are skinned while still alive in many cases. It would also be illegal here to do that (only situation where I think this can happen here and needs to be stopped is the Canadian seal hunt which is basically a jobs program for the Atlantic because it has to be subsidized by Canadian taxpayers since it costs more than it generates in revenue).

There has been a global effort for months to put a dent in this festival (Yulin) that starts tomorrow and while it will still go on tomorrow I think the number of animals killed will be reduced, and hopefully it will be stopped in the future.

The exact opposite in fact. The adrenelin released makes the meat very tough. It's why the gates and chutes are designed as to not freak out the animals when being lead to slaughter.Quote:

That is correct - the hormones released due to a fear/fright reaction and can act like poison in the flesh/meat. It's the same messed up superstition that drives belief that bear bile (extracted from live bears), shark fins, crushed tiger bones and elephant/rhino tusks can fix impotence or have other health benefits (which of course if not true).
jesus dude at least do a NSFW, i did not want to see that. I appreciate the issues , it is heartbrakiing and criminal, but dont need to see it on our mustang pages.
^^^ agree.
I'm an animal lover and I can't explain how the images affect me.
A link with a warning is more appropriate imo.
Cast did an awesome job at the Betty O theatre , nice dinner at the Blake House across the street capped off a great night , & 2 of my kids turned 21 & 19 today busy weekend of festivities and $$$ ;)
Get what your putting down Chris (animal lover here as well, felt ill seeing that) but in the same breath not discounting the message Richards conveying.
Disclaimer for pics like that would be appreciated by me as well.
Can't for the life of me get my head around how anyone could do something like that to any animal. Don't agree with lobsters n the such being cooked alive either.
Not just a disclaimer, a warning and a link for next time would really be appreciated. I understand the message and Richard is a stronger man than I am to be able to read and post such tragedies, but those are not images one should come across by surprise. They are very, very upsetting. I don't mean to sound all full of drama, but seriously, a link next time please.
New Bar Rescue episodes start tonight.
Almost mowed over this little guy yesterday and wasn't 100% sure what to do Then I read online that it's normal to see this, the mother should be hovering around protecting it. I checked and sure enough momma bird was watching me so I put the baby in the bushes... Checked in the evening and baby bird was all safe and sound.

Nicely done.
I also planted my mojito bushes (mint) and fresh herbs... Now to see if the Rum tree I planted will grow (I buried an empty Rum bottle).
^^^that's a great idea ...and not entirely crazy.
Of course it's not.
Friday.......holidays!!!!!
Anyone watch the US Open this weekend and see this new ball trace that they have? I really like it, especially since both my wife and kids liked it which meant I could keep the coverage on TV a little longer than usual when they were with me!
But, How da Fuck do they do that on live shots??

:shrug: same way Fox puts a blue dot on the hockey puck?
Looks like a video game.

Just software and graphics I guess.Quote:
“Protracer is vision-based, so it sees the ball at impact and it traces the ball’s path,” Berntsen said. “There’s no instrumentation. If it was an instrumented system with radar, if you moved the camera, you’d have to recalibrate every time. But if you move the camera and it’s vision-based, as long as it sees the ball, it works.”
Didn't mean to offend anyone's sensitivities and would usually post a link or video that you have to click on to see the content (although I think some auto play when you hover over the embedded item) but just posted the pics in response to a comment directly from my folder in photobucket (4th link down - img link I think). In 20 years of working on animal welfare/abuse advocacy this is not the worst I've seen and there are things that surprise me every day that I am not sure I could post unless it's to an audience that cares and are working on the issues. The good thing is that change is slowly coming and more severe/appropriate punishments are being doled out (in most cases, although the Republican/Conservative push for Ag-Gag laws is disturbing because to me the cloaking and protection of abuse and cruelty is contradictory to the Christian beliefs purportedly held by these groups).
I agree this stuff is hard to look at but it is the reality of what millions endure and the only way to stop/change it (as with anything else including abuse/killing of people) is for some to not turn away/ignore it, and try to effect change. Sometimes it takes a long time but change does come - phasing out of gestation crates in several markets, partial move away from some of the cruelest aspects of veal farming, reduction of baby seals killed in the taxpayer funded money losing annual seal hunt, stronger penalties for animal abuse, neglect, and cruelty (which is tied to escalation of violence to humans and may reside on your street and interact with your children), etc, etc. Most Asian/Middle Eastern countries do not have animal welfare laws so part of the effort now is to apply pressure to bring these in as a starting point.
The funny thing is that for all the things millenials get criticized for, this is one of the areas that they may actually help to effect change as they appear to react to these images/news stories and actually change their behaviour/consumption habits that is impacting market forces to respond where the boomers, Gen X & Y didn't as much (from less to more).
Will do warnings/links next time if any of these types of things are posted.
^^^same idea that baseball has been using for years...
just a smaller ball lol
ahh. cool. I'd like to see it for some of RA Dickie's pitches.
lol...actually I was talking about the batting...shows the ball leave the bat and land, wherever in the stadium including home runs, shows where it lands in the stands and gives the distance
I wasn't even thinking about the pitching but your right, they have it for that too!
Ford site states my new 2015 GT has been built!!!!
^^^Getting closer
