Honda XL250r keep'm running thread
Alright... I have not seen any official Honda XL 250 threads of any that show these older bikes or attempt to help diagnose problems.
So, I have on that is giving me some issues that I've been unable to resolve.
Here goes...
I have an '84 xl250r that I rebuilt from the ground up. I got it from a guy that didn't want to tackle it due to the fact it was just a pile of parts.... all of it.
Never posted pics up before, if this works then.... This is what my current rendition of what an ol' '84 Honda XL250r should look like...
The good:
Bike starts easily
Bike will pull my 300lbs right on past 60mph.
the issues:
at start up, the engine will idle high at first then settle down and start to miss, then suddenly it will idle down even more like an ol' pop pop hit or miss engine, sounding like a harley idle lope then die. I have to blip the throttle to keep it from suddenly dying.
I also noticed that as I try to maintain a constant rpm that I can feel the bike surge on any gear.
Lastly, when backing down the gears, it's like I'm on a 2 stroke, no compression breaking.
Carb settings:
Primary: 106
Secondary: 125
Air idle: 42
Idle screw: 2 turns out.

ok... did a vacuum leak test.... nada
pulled spark plug.... well, well, well..... I've got a symptom... a black sooty spark plug.... new plug regapped.... started out better then.... same'o same'o....
ahhh ... based on my symptoms....
I just might have a short some where.

Sooty plugs
That sounds like a mixed bag of symptoms.
Sooty plug sounds like a rich mixture. Maybe the needle and seat leaking? The surging might fit with that. So maybe you'd look to a carb problem before spark. Look at the choke, see it in fact opens when you move the lever to open.
Acting like a 2 stroke. Have you done a compression test? Looked at the decompressor, see its not staying open.
Today's subliminal message is . . .

I do have that compression cable on this motor...I 'll disconnect it and see if that makes a difference.

OK, I've been busy reading, learning, experimenting on the XL. I'm going to pass on what I learned about the RFVC engine that should help others get these bikes to run and run like the little banshee it is.
1. Idle issues. I had put an after market carb rebuild kit in it. I disassembled the carb and started measuring the needles for length and and width. The primary needle was longer and narrower than the OEM. Replaced with the OEM a 2BS vs. 270 aftermarket and upped the jet to a 110. Assembled.
I also removed the idle needle (CA no adjustment) and replace it with the aftermarket version.
Results: I now had a bike that idles perfectly I was still having surging and engine not backing down when I closed off the throttle like a 2stroke.
More reading.... and a few....
I then read that most of the carb issues is with the length of the needle and could be cured by how long into the jet vs. slide going up and down. So, I found a company that claimed to have this very tune up set up to handle the carb issues of any bike.... sent off for their carb tune up kit. $40.00
The only thing I used was 2 little nylon washer/spacer 2.5mm id. (equivalent of 3 metal ones) on both needles. I'm lax to say who the business is, but I suspect that one could find metal versions for quite abit less and stack them as spacers.
So, as I was playing with my carb in my hands to make sure it functioned before inserting, I noticed that the secondary carb woldn't back down as fast as the main.... Ya think that this might be the cause of the engine not backing down quickly?
So, there is an adjustment nut on the main throttle linkage that can be adjusted to tighten up that issure, plus there is a split bar that can be tweeked.
Now, one other thing I did was block off the balance tube between the intake manifold barrels.
Test run: got it started and idling properly Took off to run around the ranch... hit 2nd and hit it hard.... no hesitation.... on the dirt it broke loose and I got a little sideways... YEAH.. now that's what I'm talking about. It just kept pulling on up throught the gears... I backed off and the engine settled down quite quickly..
I'm not quite done yet. I'm of the opinion I can adjust the secondary just a little more and get the compression backoff I'm seeking...
Hope this little side trip through Honda carburetor issues can help steer one down the path of motorcycle grins.

Test Ride
Well... it looks like I'm talking to myself....
But, there is more to this tale...
So, I took her out for a test ride up HWY 150 from Santa Paula to Ojai up 33...
Fact is, 250cc's ain't much when burning the twisties uphill.
Made it up to the old diner shack where a few others who had blasted past me on the way up taking a break.
I learned that the seat is a prostate killer...
Headed back down.... just putting, not blasting.... many passing... yeah, I do get out the way.
headed into Ventura pretty much 90% throttle... when suddenly, I lost all power....
thought it was fuel.. no.. no... pulled over ....... no compression....
Then I saw it.... a rocker bolt had backed out.... damn.... I thought I had lock tite all of them...
later, I pulled the head and found that the part had kept an intake valve slightly open and had also managed to distort the head gasket enough that the head no longer held compression.
did a leak test on the valves, no problem. I can see where the valve and piston hit, but no metal distortion and the valve is still straight.... lucky me
Got some parts ordered to seal it back up... can't wait to get it back to running again. That was a fun day trip... except for the Bhole and the breakdown..

Good stuff.keeping one of the best dual sports alive and kicking. Once you sort out your current situation you should be good to go.
I had an 85 xl250r and both my riding buddies had an 85 and 86 xl600. Theres' would pull away in the straights but I always caught them in the corners... single track they couldnt catch me.
I now own buddy's 85 600r. But the 250 will still be the best of tbe dozen or so bikes I've owned. Keep it runnin'!

No former Patriot-turned-analyst has been more inclined to put his old team on blast than Rodney Harrison.
Unlike other former players who have been known to take it easy on their old team, you certainly can't say that Harrison has been reticent to call out his old club. The ex-New England safety, who currently works as an analyst for NBC Sports, has taken his share of shots at the Patriots the last few seasons -- in 2009, he told Tom Brady to "take off the skirt and put on some slacks" after the quarterback was seen complaining about a call. And last year, he said the New England secondary was "probably the worst secondary I've seen in the last decade."
But in town to be honored as part of "The Tradition" Wednesday night at the TD Garden, Harrison sounded a far more optimistic note about the Patriots and what they've done this offseason, saying they've gotten "better" and "younger" in free agency and the draft, and added there's only one reason they shouldn't be back in the Super Bowl in February 2013.
"I think they've addressed some needs across the board," Harrison said Wednesday night. "I think with Tom Brady really being that centerpiece you can build your team around and coach Belichick. Obviously with the great teaching that he and his staff does, I think they'll be fine. I think they're in tune to go back, as long as they don't allow complacency to kick in."
While there was some optimism, Harrison continued to hammer on the secondary, noting specifically that it's time for players like safety Patrick Chung and defensive back Devin McCourty to assert themselves as leaders.
"They have a lot of room on the defensive side where they can come out and get better," Harrison said. "They need to get better defensively, especially in the defensive backfield. Guys need to step up -- Patrick Chung, Devin McCourty. They need to step up. It's time for them not to think that they're young players. They need to make plays, and there's no reason this team should be ranked 32nd in the league (defensively)."
Harrison believes that when it comes to young players making the leap to full veteran status, one of the first things they have to show is consistency.
"I think as a young player, you have to focus on being consistent each and every day. I'm not saying that they're not, but being a pro, doing things right all the time and learning from last year. You have to get better. And I think as they get better, other people look around and say, 'These guys are really the leaders in the secondary,' and they'll catch on.
"When you're doing things right, when you're playing fast -- when you're doing things right all the time -- people want to be a part of that. And then, you start having success and you go out there and you really set the tone. When I played, I really wanted to go out there and hit somebody in the mouth. Set the tone. And I figured that everyone else would join, and that's what happened."
Harrison also gained a measure of notoriety when, in the days following New England's Super Bowl loss to the Giants, he got after Rob Gronkowski, lashing the tight end after he was pictured partying in the wake of the defeat. Harrison said Gronkowski "disrespected himself," and added that "if Willie McGinest, Tedy Bruschi, Larry Izzo, Richard Seymour or myself had been at that party, [Gronkowski] probably would have got his head rung."
Now, almost five months later, Harrison said he's got nothing but love for the big tight end, saying there's a "time and a place for everything," and adding that with his new contract, Gronkowski will be asked to be more of a leader in 2012.
"I love the kid. I love him," said Harrison. "Everyone jumped on me for criticizing him at the Super Bowl for dancing and having a good time after the incident kind of occurred. But I love the kid. I think he's a phenomenal player. My whole point was, there's a time and place for everything."
The 23-year-old Gronkowski signed a contract extension in the offseason that will net him roughly $55 million, a deal that includes a $13.17 million signing bonus. Harrison, who won a pair of Super Bowls with the Patriots, said that sort of contract means the Arizona product has to bring a different mindset to Gillette Stadium than the one he had his first two years in the league.
"He is a core guy. They paid him like he's a core guy," Harrison said. "He has to be a leader. He can no longer sit in the background. He has to sit in the forefront and say, 'I'm going to help lead this team.' And you do that by making good decisions in good situations. So he'll get better. He'll grow. He'll mature. And he'll continue to be a fabulous player."

AJ Banal vs. Luis Alberto Perez
From BoxRec
2010-10-30 : AJ Banal 116 lbs beat Luis Alberto Perez 117¾ lbs by DQ at 1:46 in round 7 of 10
- Location: Cebu City Waterfront Hotel & Casino, Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines
- Referee: Silvestre Abainza
- Judge: Salven Lagumbay 59-55
- Judge: Noel Flores 59-55
- Judge: Edward Ligas 60-54
- AJ Banal 22-1-1 (18 KOs) vs. Luis Alberto Perez 26-4 (17 KOs)
- This fight is at a specified catchweight of 120 lbs.
- Banal entered ranked WBO #2, WBA #4, IBF #4, and WBC #13 bantamweight contender. He has won five straight fights, four by knockout, since suffering his first ever defeat against Panaminian Rafael Concepcion more than two years ago, the latest being a fifth-round knockout of South Korea-based Japanese Big Yoo three and a half months ago; The former two-division world champion Perez, only 2-3 (2 KOs) in his last five fights, is coming off a second-round technical knockout of unheralded fellow Nicaraguan Freddy Madrigal five months ago.
- Banal has never fought a Nicaraguan coming into the bout while this will be the second time Perez will fight a Filipino fighter, he lost to Vernie Torres by twelve-round unanimous decision more than a decade ago in his U.S debut, also suffering his first ever defeat as a professional. This will also be Perez' first fight in the Philippines, he is 5-3 (2 KOs) outside of Nicaragua.
- Banal is 1-0 (0 KOs) against former or current world champions, beating Juan Alberto Rosas by unanimous eight-round decision three and a half years ago.
- In Round 7: Referee Silvestre Abainza approached AJ Banal from behind, put his hand on Banal's shoulder, and yelled "Break", as this occurred the referee was near both boxers and was in clear view of both pugilists and also in a good position to temporarily stop the action. But after this occurred, Perez fired a right hook that sent Banal down, although it was clear that the referee was trying to separate him from AJ Banal.
- AJ Banal was unable to continue in the fight after the knockdown due a deep cut on his left eyelid that he suffered as a result of the illegal punch thrown by Luis Perez. The resulting action forced Referee Silvestre Abainza to declare Banal the winner by disqualification.
- Note: In the second round, Perez tried to elbow Banal when he had his back turned when the referee tried to separate them. Perez was warned earlier about hitting after the break.
- This bout was quickly considered controversial due to the disqualification by Luis Perez's cornerman after the conclusion of the bout. However, by rule: When a referee breaks boxers from a clinch, you have to take a full step back; you cannot immediately hit your opponent--that's called "hitting on the break" and is illegal. When an injury is caused by an intentional foul, and the injured boxer is unable to continue, the offending boxer will lose by disqualification.

It was closed in 2014 :)
Business ambiance, great quality, above the average prices. Good for business meetings. Also nice concerts in the evening/night.
Great looking restaurant. Over the average prices but great ambiance, good serving and very tasty food. 5/5
Good for student meetings, but buy the beer from the downstairs bar. In the upstairs bar they have just "special (expensive) beers"
Must visit for academic art lovers. :) nice building with cool hallways and ceiling paintings :)
Very good price for quantity! I have tried the chicken wings 2kg @ 18 eur! Just enough for a 3 (hungry) person group if accompanied by fries (in the pic are the SMALL portions). Wi-fi pass: hausbier
Wow! The view is amazing, most definitely the perfect place to visit is at the sunset so you can enjoy the 360 view with sun and also in the night.
Crazy ambiance, cool bar for travelers and the ones who like to wander. Multitude of shots and good prices.
Tried the Vienese Schnitzel @ 9eur with potatoes. Pork schnitzel is better than chicken at texture and taste. Also good tea place. Try the ayurvedic teas, nice flavours.
Very tasty Burgers ar affordable prices 7-9 eur. Chill ambiance and freewave wifi. 5/5 for the friendly staff :)
Nice environment for a juicy talk and a good cocktail :D

NEW YORK, November 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
MEEM unveils its first product: the MEEM™ Memory Cable is a charger cable which automatically backs up all of your cell phone data every time you charge your battery. A simple and elegant solution for one of the biggest problems we all face in today's mobile lifestyle, MEEM is compatible with 5 major mobile phone operating systems namely Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Symbian, and backs up: contacts, messages, appointments, photos, videos, music, apps, games - everything!
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121130/579889 )
MEEM is showcasing now on indiegogo, the international funding platform for creative projects, where new innovative ideas and products are supported by real people, who are going to use them.
With MEEM, you'll never again have to worry about losing all your precious information and memories.
- SECURE, AUTOMATIC BACKUP of all your mobile phone data onto the cable, typically in less than a minute - every time you charge your battery.
- EASY 'PLUG & PLAY' DATA RESTORE: If your phone is ever lost, stolen or damaged, just plug your MEEM into your new phone, restore your data, and you're good to go!
- EASY UPGRADES ACROSS ALL MAJOR PLATFORMS: If you're transferring or upgrading to a new phone, or even a new platform, just plug MEEM into your new phone, restore your data, and you're all set.
- SYNCH DATA BETWEEN PHONES: If you use two or more phones, just plug MEEM into your phone and selectively synch contacts, appointments, or any other information you need.
- MASSIVE MEMORY CAPACITY 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models available.
- BEAUTIFUL, BOLD DESIGN: MEEM is a premium quality, precision device - similar in fit and finish to a fine watch.
Founder of MEEM, and the inventor of the Memory Cable, Anil Goel, highlights significant advantages over other known backup solutions:
"Some people believe 'Cloud' is a panacea. But the fact is there are still a lot of justified privacy and security concerns regarding Cloud-based solutions. MEEM not only backs up all the stuff on your phone, but all your data remains under your physical control. And MEEM offers other features we all need but cannot find; such as the ability to easily move everything from one phone or platform to a new phone on a different platform. Also, MEEM allows you to easily and selectively synch some or all of your data between different phones. No other system does all of this. Period."
- Nick Cannon, host of America's Got Talent
Developed with internationally renowned designer Jozeph Forakis, MEEM features include a powerful ARM microprocessor, all encased in a slim, sleek aluminum housing which is virtually crush-proof. MEEM will come in a stunning range of colors and finishes - some of which will be decided by contributors to MEEM's indiegogo international funding campaign. With personalized laser etching and free worldwide shipping, many contributors are already preordering a MEEM™ Memory Cable from indiegogo.

Nepal President Ram Baran Yadav has urged political parties to resolve the ongoing political and constitutional crisis in the country before he returns from India later this week.
Hindi movies are back in cinema theatres in Nepal from Thursday----10 days after hall owners decided to stop screening them following a ban imposed by a breakaway faction of ruling Maoists.
Officials in Nepal say a dozen inmates including Indian and Bangladeshi nationals dug a tunnel and escaped from a prison in the Himalayan country's southeast.
Nepal President Ram Baran Yadav on Tuesday gave parties more time to form an 'unity' government after they failed to reach consensus within the deadline that expired a day earlier.
Some passengers in the aircraft that crashed near the international airport in Kathmandu today were heard "wailing and screaming", said an eyewitness who recalled the horror.
At the peak of a raging insurgency in 2002, Nepal's Maoist leadership wrote a letter to the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in an attempt to garner support for their internationally 'outcast' outfit.
Nepal government's hopes of holding early polls to elect a new Constituent Assembly has got a setback with President Ram Baran Yadav rejecting two election-related ordinances.

But when the anyone is Zack Greinke, the almost becomes a lot more prominent. Cincinnati will go face-to-face with the early season Los Angeles ace on Thursday afternoon when the Dodgers visit Great American Ball Park to wrap up a four-game series. The Reds are second-to-last in the majors in runs scored through 64 games and are languishing in the middle of the National League's Central Division because of it, but when they manage four runs or more in a single game, their record goes from substandard to spectacular. Wednesday's 5-0 win in game three marked the 31st time in 2014 that Cincinnati has reached four on the scoreboard, and it improved their mark in those games to 23-8 -- including eight straight wins. "We have a history here," manager Bryan Price said. "We have a real good understanding that we have players who have accomplished things at a high level here. You saw some of that (Wednesday). Hopefully, it'll be a precursor to good things." Against Greinke, Joey Votto is 8-for-21 with three solo homers. Votto has missed 23 games due to injury this season. Greinke has split two decisions in his last three starts while compiling a 4.35 earned run average across his last three starts. He allowed 11 hits and four runs in seven innings against Colorado in his last start on Saturday, a game the Dodgers ultimately lost, 5-4, in 10 innings. He's 5-1 against the Reds, though, and struck out 11 batters in 7 2/3 innings of a 5-3 victory on May 27. In nine career starts against Cincinnati, he's struck out 76 in 62 2/3 innings. The Reds reply with reliever-turned-starter Alfredo Simon, who took the loss in the May 27 game after surrendering five runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings. He's 2-0 since, though, and allowed three runs in six innings of a 6-5 triumph over Philadelphia on Saturday. On Wednesday, Johnny Cueto (6-5) didn't issue a walk and posted double-digit strikeouts (12) for the fourth time this season. The right-hander now has 109 strikeouts on the year, the most for any Reds pitcher through his first 14 starts of a season since 1900. Votto stroked a two-run double and scored once, while Jay Bruce belted a solo homer for the Reds. Hyun-Jin Ryu (7-3) absorbed the loss after giving up four runs on six hits with five strikeouts over six innings. Adrian Gonzalez's double in the seventh served as the lone extra-base hit for the Dodgers. 06/12 10:25:27 ET

Having flunked his final exam on medical ethics, a student named Adam gets an e-mail asking him to venture to a remote, snowbound cabin where, his correspondent promises, he will share in revolutionary advances in medical science. Adam (Christian Oliver) takes the bait, is met by a young woman, driven to a remote mountain road, handed cross-country skis and told he can find the doctor's cabin by following the red ribbons on the trees. After a long, cold journey, he finds the cabin, occupied by young Dr. Vick (Dean Stapleton).
Adam discovers (although not before being choked to death, left outside to freeze and then being brought back to life) that Dr. Vick has invented a serum that offers immortality. Death has no dominion in the mountain cabin, where Adam will be killed several more times (shot, hit by a snowmobile, etc.) and brought back to life several more times. These transitions are necessary because when Vick gets things wrong, it's necessary to kill Adam and leave him dead while making improvements.
I was reminded of "Scream and Scream Again," in which every time the victim woke up, another body part was missing. In "Subject Two," it doesn't much matter. There's not even anything special about the brain, apparently, and you don't need it to think. But Adam complains bitterly to Vick that he cannot feel: He lacks both physical and emotional sensations, he says, but since he feels so much anger about that, he must not be quite correct. Still, there's one consolation: He doesn't have those migraines anymore.
"Subject Two" is a horror film crossed with a workshop on the theory and practice of an earlier doctor, Frankenstein. When you bring the dead to life, what do you have then? Something that is alive? Something that is dead but can walk and talk and think? Would you want to be immortal if you had to keep being killed all the time? Is life worth living for the undead?
These questions play out in a movie that for most of its length involves just the two actors. One problem, for me, is that Vick doesn't seem particularly demented and Adam doesn't seem particularly disturbed. The usual ramping up of emotions in a horror film doesn't take place; too much of the film consists of the characters using normal speaking voices, however distraught. One promising development, however, is that a man who was apparently Subject One is buried up to his neck out in the yard, and apparently dead. Seeing him planted with tubes going into him, I was reminded for the second time in a month of "Motel Hell," the movie where Farmer Vincent planted the residents of his motel and used them as a cash crop.
"Subject Two," written and directed by Philip Chidel and produced by him along with his two stars, is a good-looking movie, well-acted, but the material seems curiously inert. Even with some surprises at the end, we're left with too little desperation and too much conversation. There are big ideas nibbling around the edges of the screenplay, but the movie seems underwhelmed by its own startling material. There is, however, an idea here that's intriguing: If you had immortality, would you be begging someone to kill you? Can life be too much of a good thing?

Wis.-Green Bay beats Cleveland St. 59-50
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)—Terry Evans had all but two of his 16 points in the second half to lead Wisconsin-Green Bay to a 59-50 comeback win over Cleveland State on Thursday night.
Cedric Jackson had 19 points and seven rebounds for the first-place Vikings (14-6, 7-1 Horizon League), who had their six-game winning streak snapped.
The game was back-and-forth throughout as neither team was able to build a double-digit lead at any point.
But Evans' 3-pointer from the corner—only his second of the season—put Green Bay ahead to stay with 3:45 left. Evans also made 3 of 4 free throws in the closing minute to put the game on ice.
Green Bay (10-8, 4-4) had freshman point guard Rahmon Fletcher back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the Phoneix's previous game.
Fletcher was scoreless in the first half but helped spark the rally with 11 second-half points.
Tevah Morris also added a season-high 11 points off the bench and Ryan Tillema chipped in 10 to help Green Bay snap a three-game losing streak and improve to 7-1 at home this year.
No one else had more than seven points for Cleveland State, which finished a woeful 17-of-60 (28.3 percent) from the field.
Green Bay, which trailed by as many as eight points in the second half, got its first second half come-from-behind win of the year. The Phoenix was 0-7 when trailing at the half coming into Thursday's game.
Cleveland State led 24-19 at halftime after cold shooting by both teams.

Don't know what is wrong with your system. I also have a beefy rig, i7, GTX 980, 16GB RAM, and I get consistent 60 FPS running Minecraft, except for the slight lagging when there is world loading going on of course.
The graphics card is not even trying hard, staying in the 50Â's at about 30-40% capacity, and I'm also running 20 mods.
It was great at the time, but I could never really go back to D1 after playing through D2. It's maddening that there is no "run" button.
I agree. I was also considering that Israel might be one of the big factors playing a role in US foreign policy.
Basically significant segments of the Iranian government and a good number of the population (not necessarily a majority, but enough to have influence) have anti-Americanism as their raison d'Ãtre
Correct, but as you mention yourself, the arab countries have the same problem. Perhaps not so much with the leaders, but I would guess that a majority of the population, likely more than in Iran, are Anti-American.
The Saudi government has been pretty good friends with the USA
I can't shake the feeling that behind closed doors, most arab leaders are also very condescending of the US and mainly regard it as a source of military technology and aid dollars. For example, Pakistan, a country which is perhaps 80% anti-american and whose secret service plays a game of duplicity, sometimes helping the US and sometimes collaborating with the Taliban and Al-Quaida, nevertheless receives US military aid... hard to follow that logic.
Sometimes I think these countries keep the instabilities and insurgencies running on purpose, to keep the American dollars flowing.
We have long since passed the point where the major actors are just too big and powerful to risk war with eachother,
Not only that. Globalization has many downsides, but one undoubtedly good thing about it is that most economies today are so interconnected and dependant of one another, that conflict between two developed nations would be extremely disruptive and harmful to both.
Russia and Europe, or the US and China, while rivals in some respects, thanks to globalization, direct, large-scale conflict is unthinkable.
Go out for camping, travel to different countries. See the world!
I've also always wondered why the U.S. put all its money on the Arab countries instead of Iran. Iran at least has basic level of Democracy with presidential elections. Irans youth is, in general, more progressive and open minded that in most other islamic countries.
The U.S. big ally and arch-enemy of Iran, Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, is a practically an absolutist monarchy practicing extremely conservative interpretation of Sharia law. It's also interesting to point out that many high-profile terrorists, such as Osama bin Ladin, were Saudi Arabians. I wouldn't be surprised if elements in Saudi Arabia's government secretly support or at the very least condone IS in Syria and Iraq. They seem pretty single-minded about supporting Sunni Islam against everything Shia.
you fucking ignoranus
Dear sir, may I ask you to keep this conversation civil, on-topic and orderly, as is custom when having friendly conversation over the Internet.
Is an official Taxi more expensive than Uber? Certainly. But a Taxi driver is a job that can sustain a family. Uber on the other hand strives to turn all of that segment into cheap dayjob/sidejob territory, while reaping the main benefits for itself.
That's starting to become a staple of our "new society" - everything cheaper, faster, less regulated... except it also destroys regular jobs and makes the lives of the professionals involved less secure and less predictable.
Not all regulations are bad regulations and not all "progress" is good progress. For me, companies like "Uber" are a form of new ultra-capitalism that is perhaps convenient for consumers, but destructive on a social level, and above all benefiting the "mega corp" involved.
French cheese is actually pretty good. You should try it.
Also, remember who helped you in your war for independence? Yeah, it was the surrender monkeys. They also gave you the most recognizable symbol of the USA after the stars and stripes: The Statue of Liberty.
If that were truly to happen, the French would chop off their president's head.
Changing the user search is bad, but not nearly as bad as installing a crappy browser addon that hijacks your search.
I think the former is a bothersome, but tolerable advertising practice (all advertising is bothersome in a way). The latter should be a criminal offence.
This was before there was a Slashdot
Jeesh... so there was no way to brag about it at the time? Inconceivable!
Better late than never, hey?
Oh sorry. If that was meant ironically, I take back what I said.
My irony detectors are not the best.

Watch Houdini the Escape-Artist Horse Do His Thing — Daily Distraction
We're not positive what horse sense is, but it sure looks like Houdini here has it.

They say lions in the wild sleep 20 hours a day. That might be an understatement.
Mondays aren't anyone's favorite, so use a couple of minutes to have a good laugh and learn something new....about the seahorse. This video is funny AND informative. Enjoy.
Being a dog in today's society must be really confusing. They're probably thinking, "how have I suddenly sprouted human eyebrows?" or "why the heck am I driving Power Wheels?" The answer is simple -- because confused dogs are hilarious. That's why we love it when they catch a glimpse of themselves in the mirror.
Lobsters are delicious, no argument here, but they are also quite monstrous-looking. If one catches you by surprise, it's perfectly understandable to shriek in terror. Like these people.
There isn't an office on the planet that wasn't plagued a couple years ago by Honey Badger narrations. Hate to do this to you, but there's another avenue to take. It involves the slowass sloth.
Now, you might wonder what exactly a crow even needs with a small frying pan, but then you'd be missing the whole point, wouldn't you?
Sit. Play dead. Roll over. Operate this motor vehicle.
The last one doesn't quite belong, does it?
In his book 'A Random Walk Through Wall Street,' economist Burton Malkiel famously declared that "a blindfolded monkey throwing darts" would able to pick stocks just as well as the professionals.
His theory has been tested over the years, with mixed results. But new evidence out of England suggests that it is cats, not monkeys, that all money managers should be measured against.
We commend these guys for humanely trapping and releasing a mouse. Too bad their plan backfired so very, very quickly. Seconds after being set loose in a field, a hawk swoops up and grabs it. Their reaction is priceless
Goats seem pretty nice. They have little beards and say "baaaaaa" and eat grass and stuff. They also have horns, though.
