math. i never got good grades in math classes tho (well, B/B- average i guess) because i'd half-ass or not even do the near-nightly homework if i felt it wouldn't help me in any way, which most often was the case

that shoots a projectile.

the only way i could do this is have the item spawn relays of explosions that cast lights. it would look really wonky though

iirc there's actually a few light parameters for item images

if not, upon equipping you could probably force the player light on, change it to a red color with no flare/particle and set a check that prevents players from toggling their light if the lightsaber is equipped. not sure b/c i haven't coded with torquescript in forever, and it may be kind of a hassle but hey it's an option

I think he'd still have a lot of trouble with $10k. Yes, it seems to be in good condition, but the Porsche 944 is quite common and really not that powerful compared to other Porsches. They come through Craigslist constantly around here and almost all of them are under $6k.

a kid who lives down the street from me has one, albeit without a turbo. i've never been too interested in them

my mom got that chrysler 300 she wanted so badly. so, i'll be giving my stuffbox to my little brother and in return i get to drive her 2003 aurora v8 until spring when i buy a new car

things i will not miss:
 - ABS that stopped working months ago
 - bald, leaky tires
 - sucky wipers
 - that smell you get when your cat converter starts rusting out and leaking toxic fumes
 - dead battery
 - tying the driver door down when it freezes

saw no point in putting more money and work into it when i already have the cash to buy a great car in the event of a major mechanical failure happening, if need be. as-is, this car will either get my brother killed or turn him into a skilled defensive driver lol

I live in Michigan and pay ~110£ per month for the bare minimum on a '90s Taurus. Full coverage would put me well above 275£ lmao

Talking about dream cars...

Someone at my community college has a torch red C4 Corvette with sawblade rims made between '93-'96. It's literally the exact dream car that I want. And it sits there in the lot every single day. Every day. And I walk past it. Every day. Why? To upset me, of course!
Not really, congrats to him...

My mom really wants me to buy my uncle's 96 c4, those machines sound mean as hell but I couldn't live with the gas prices

I want to do autocross.

sick, go for it

« on: January 21, 2016, 03:54:43 PM »

so you asked her if you could ask her out, but you're too shy to actually ask her out..? wtf?

^^^ never heard of a situation like this before lol

instead of asking her like "do you want to go out with me" or "will you be my girlfriend" say something more along the lines of "i was hoping we could get to know each other on a more personal level and see where it takes us"

after that? well, get to know her more personally. talk about things you already know she likes to get her talking, and just let her keep talking, be genuinely interested in her and her life, pay attention. make random, positive, thoughtful comments every now and then when you're hanging out like "i like your shirt, that's my favorite color" or "i really like what you did with your hair, it looks cute" girls love it when you notice and appreciate the effort they put into making themselves more attractive. a little teasing here and there but don't say or do anything at all that would make her self-conscious or uncomfortable. be a gentleman, be confident, take her to wwe super slam, do everything zack said. all of this gets easier and becomes more natural with practice, and since you're only 17 it's a great time to start practicing

i dig them vans with the birds

going clockwise:
 - work boot/shoe things
 - winter boots
 - some american eagle craps that are starting to fall apart. work pretty good for skating
 - feiyues - going to bleach the sweat out of them and put new laces on
 - old, crusty, torn-up vans that i don't wear anymore
 - my newest & favorite pair of shoes, some maroon vans
 - mid-top adidas. I've owned them since july of 2014 but I've only worn them maybe 15 times, skated with them once lol
 - under-performing stuff asics that barely lasted one season of track practice

Not shown:
 - super-comfortable ultra-ventilated mega-light invincible KO's that I gladly used in place of the asics during a track meet if I couldn't find spikes to borrow
 - all-black vans in good condition
 - nike free run 1.0s that weren't good for freerunning. they hardly fit now, but I keep them in my trunk just in case I need spare shoes
 - a pair of all-black dress shoes that I don't really know anything about since I rarely wear them and I can't find them

i still haven't bleached those feiyues

also i'm size 10.5 US
