Aghh... my back
I was circuit racing Thursday at the Everland circuit pictured below.
And my rear Yokohama ES100 205/50/15 tires imploded resulting in me hitting the wall after cornering the first corner after the main straight.
The car is totaled. Doesn't look like it but it is, the whole frame is bent.
I just came home after spending 4 days in the hospital and my back and neck aches like hell
Moral of the story : never use tires for racing after the treadwear triangle has worn off

Ow, shit. You have my condolences.
Well, at least you've learned from it, so it's not all bad.

BTW, did you replace the tires when you took the picture?

Why is the text on the picture in some oriental alphabet?? (I'm not sure which script it is exactly, but I don't think it's Chinese)j1j2j3 wrote:I was circuit racing Thursday at the Everland circuit pictured below.

Sorry to hear about that. Try to get a lot of rest, and try using aloe vera on the burns (get somebody to buy you an actual aloe vera plant, cut off the leaves, and squeeze the gel from the inside of the leaf onto the burn; don't use that skin lotion "with aloe vera" crap).

Does this really help? It burns if I leave it alone . Do you mean one of the big green plants (roots, pot and all?) Do you have to boil the leaves or something or do you use fresh leaves?Darth Wong wrote:Sorry to hear about that.

I seriously need to do something about my back, I'm worried I'll become impotent.

Yes, a big green plant with roots, pot, and all. You cut a chunk of the leaf off, and when you look inside you'll see a clear gelatinous substance. That's the stuff they put into skin lotions, but it's much more concentrated at the source.j1j2j3 wrote:Does this really help? It burns if I leave it alone .

Holy shit ... have you tried seeing a physiotherapist? There's also chiropractors, although there's rather considerable dissension over their efficacy.I seriously need to do something about my back, I'm worried I'll become impotent.

For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet Cybertron.

Well, at least you seem to be walking, always a good sign, I hope your back gets sorted out. Hell they kept me in the hospital longer for a minor if painful spleen injury.

The worst thing is I have to go to military reserve exercises for 3 days tommorow! Maybe they'll let me take it easy in the shade, if not .... (shudders thinking of impotency)

Thats bad, but then you never know when the North might find some gas and come South...j1j2j3 wrote:

Hopefully they will let you take it easy and or sit it out. I'd bring your hospital discharge papers along if you have any.

Haha!! And food!! And shoes for their soldiers! and missiles that actually work! and radios that can actually broadcast! and batteries that last more than 2 seconds...Sea Skimmer wrote: Thats bad, but then you never know when the North might find some gas and come South...
When I was patrolling the DMZ and saw firsthand the state of disrepair of the Norths' weapons, I realized they aren't going to attack anyone.
Would you believe me if the north soldiers would pay a months salary just to get a disposable lighter? or a years to get a zippo lighter? They come down to steal our boots and fiber blankets, helmets... everything.
At the DMZ, when the wind blows north we set fire to the grass, and they work their butts of putting out the fire before they burn, and they do the same. I saw them fire more then 9 napalm rockets before one actually exploded setting fire to the grass.
They are literally starving to death, They need a lot more than gas to wage war.

Well you don't really need all of those to attack, just the fuel. However to attack and get further then 500 meters through the minefields may require additional resources.j1j2j3 wrote: Haha!!

I always liked the pictures of burn marks around their bunkers, since there only way to keep warm is the pile burning brush around them.When I was patrolling the DMZ and saw firsthand the state of disrepair of the Norths' weapons, I realized they aren't going to attack anyone.
What good is worthless money when theres nothing to buy?Would you believe me if the north soldiers would pay a months salary just to get a disposable lighter? or a years to get a zippo lighter? They come down to steal our boots and fiber blankets, helmets... everything.
When the US first deployed napalm in 1944 the reliability rate was considered bad at 50%. Why are you burning grass anyway, to make infiltration more difficult? I'd think you'd just start a fire for that. Though using rockets would by a typical communist solution, just like the Soviets mining diamonds with nukesAt the DMZ, when the wind blows north we set fire to the grass, and they work their butts of putting out the fire before they burn, and they do the same.

I know that. Still it doesn't take much effort to turn and launch the worlds most advanced V-2 knock off with some nerve gas. Until that charges it's something of a statement.They are literally starving to death, They need a lot more than gas to wage war.
