      lol, stream online? Just torrent that shit. You guys use all these sketch ass websites. Just torrent that stuff. I torrent all my TV shows in full HD with stereo surround. 100x then a shitty stream with commercials

      Most sites just have the pop ups to close and then its ad free while watching. Its a trade off, take the time to download it and get the quality vs. just watch it now. I could probably torrent stuff all day while I'm at work but I don't feel like putting in the effort.

      Its a peer to peer file sharing system which distributes files in small sections to make transferring large amounts of data easy and faster. It's the preferred method for illegal file sharing as it never really caught on for legitimate reasons. Below is a video that explains it.

            I download at 5mb a second. that's faster then your video will buffer, and at a higher quality.

                5MB of download over wireless, when there are 9 other devices streaming off a router, yeah. It's wizard craft. Get on my level MITCHELL!

                  My mom is insane about slow Internet, so we have one of the fastest charter offers. Sometimes my torrents download at 10mb sec^-1 and it's simply amazing. Anyways. I crashed my car guys.

                  I was going 110 down a country road, because i was late for track practice. I come over a crest, and I see a group of turkeys. I swerved for them, and all of them were fine. I ended up losing control and putting my drivers side door through a telephone pole. Oh, and it rolled. It landed upside down. I crawled out on my own, and I was fine. The car is for sure not. I am pretty darn cut up, but I feel fine. WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. I should be dead right now. No air bags went off. Is that a bad thing?

                      Anything going on this weekend?

                      Nothing special here. Might go to the mall (omg shoptilyoudrop!), play some GT5, hit up the carwash (above freezing, yay), possibly install the refreshed rear subframe in the E30.

                      Gunna rain all weekend!

                      I'm going on vacation starting sunday. YAY RETIREMENT!

                        Holy crap! Thank god the turkeys are fine.... not. I would have no qualms sacrificing a bunch of winged rats to save my car, but in the moment a split second decision isn't always easy to make.

                        Upload pics to photobucket and post em up.

                            The reason your cars airbags didn't go off, is cause when you hit the pole, it was a side impact, and on your year car, the only air bag sensors, are in the front. newer cars are getting side airbag sensors/etc. Glad you're okay though man! Your car looked pretty rough from the photo's you sent me. Back to the MDX, or the Excursion? haha

                              Probably wont be able to drive for a while because my mom is a nazi, and because I won't have money for a car because the damn Obamacare and the cost of a telephone pole and stuff.

                                Sorry to hear about your accident man! I am real glad you didn't die or get anything too serious. What car did you crash, the VW?

                                  Yes the vw! I'm rather glad I'm okay, and also super glad no one else got hurt. I'm also pretty stoked I got rid of that Volkswagen...

                                      Max file upload size for attachments is 512kb. Before uploading pics you should reduce the file size by making the image a manageably size (1200x900) or reducing the quality or both. Some photo programs with do this automatically with a "export to web" function.

                                      The original image below was 3264x2448 at 3.5mb. Saving the file to large and medium quality exporting it through iPhoto put the image to 1280 × 960 pixels and 274 kb in size.
