in. everything i've read that is at least semi impartial says the uk economy is strong because of eu not inspite of it. plus scotland would likely leave the uk if we leave the eu and that is not great either.
i agree with this man. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/20/how-to-argue-against-brexit-eu-fate-europe-uk-at-stake

my boss is hungarian and he is worried what will happen if 'out' happens, so he is applying for british citizenship even though at the moment he doesn't need to.

How about the bolt on top of the forks to tighten the headset?

no torque setting as it's only used to preload the bearings. it shouldn't need much.

it's really fucked up what happened to brendan. forced into making up a story that has no evidence to back it up, then that used as the basis for everything.

yeah he's fucked, there is evidence that was missed out in the series and he is pinning it on his brothers. regardless of guilt or not, it doesn't paint a great picture of wisconsin law enforcement.

so yesterday a couple of muslims killed 14 people with assault rifles and attempted IEDs in california. I say "couple of muslims," not because I hate muslims, but because before their identities were known, just like with the boston bombing, most media was speculating loudly that it was white domestic terrorists.
This morning obama's on tv saying "it could be workplace violence."

meanwhile racism is terrorism. flying the confederate flag in an area where people might get offended is terrorism.
being mean/a bully is terrorism.
environmental activism/investigative journalism is terrorism.
peaceful protest is terrorism.
filming police/tsa in public is terrorism.
hacking is terrorism.
file sharing is terrorism.
toy guns or gun imagery is terrorism.
flea markets selling bootleg dvds/clothes is terrorism.
gardening is terrorism. selling milk is terrorism.

everything under the sun is being labeled as terrorism. ridiculous cases all across the country for the past decade... yet there's "a chance" that what happened yesterday in san bernadino isn't?  Why not?

reminds me of this from 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDoNgdlEqK8

fuck all this nonsense, but the guns were legally bought.
also, how do you type with all that foil?

i use muc off dry or wet depending on season. wipe chain down, drip on rollers then spin cranks a few times to work it in then wipe chain throughly. the chain looks good as new. (this is my commute bike).

I am so hoping he will. I just don't see why anyone thinks he's any worse than any other candidate excluding Sanders.

i think the biggest factor is we know all about trump and his previous activities, it's not often you get a 'celebrity' candidate. he is also openly a terrible person and someone who would be a terrible president, so there's that.
