You wear hand wraps in fighting so that if you break your hand, the wraps hold everything together so you can continue fighting. Hands are way more fragile than heads.

You know, I took another look at that vid and while IANAD like Freddie Pacheo or anything I have cut and helped guys cut, I’m gonna hold with that diagnosis, you can actually see it. When she comes in, she’s clothed and wearing padded shower shoes, looking a little confused but no more than any other person who just…

You don’t HAVE to be naked for a boxing weigh-in, but you are entitled to be, and if it’s close, you’re going to want to be. Men generally just strip off and if there are cameras around, somebody will hold up a towel. Boxers are not generally shy about their bodies. But I’ve never seen a modesty tube like one before.

This is an awesome video showing what extreme weight cutting looks like in the 24 hours before weigh in. He goes from 164 to 147 in a day. It’s pretty dark.

But she COULD pack on five or six pounds by fight time and she almost certainly will, as will her opponent. I dunno about female physiology here, but a heavyweight man can gain back 20 POUNDS in that time, because it’s almost all water weight, with no apparent ill effect. A middleweight can lose and put 10 pounds back…

That’s fighting, unfortunately. I admit it’s hard to watch it in a female fighter, but I’ve been watching guys murder themselves in shower suits and 120 degree rooms for 24 hours to make weight and show up a shaking, paler version of death itself. One of the reasons she’s in agony is she has lost so much fat so…

Mine is old enough to go to war.

A) Do you do Crossfit?

Yeah, I’ve known a couple of photographers who specialize in pretty pictures that go in coffee table books and prints, and they both said nothing in a photograph dates it quite like cars do. They avoided them whenever possible.

When you’re putting down 410hp to all four corners on 1980's suspension bits, I bet the shift tree goes First, Second, Shiat Yourself, Third...

If it’s brown, pack it down

I’m a Canadian. We don’t ever call our system ‘medicare’, we call it ‘health care.’

My `99 RAV4 was a Toyota mechanic’s car, and the service history is written out on the air filter cover and adjacent flat plastic sufaces using a china marker. No receipts but I got a warm fuzzy feeling when I looked into the engine bay and saw oil changes, new timing belt/water pump, coolant flushes, new O2 sensors…

I’m driving a 99 Rav4 with a crapped-out blower motor in Canada. Like David says, you go fast enough, it’ll wheeze enough warm air out to keep the windows defrosted and keep my dog and I in some sort of comfort. In the spring, I’ll buy the specific weird-ass wrench that every online set of instructions warn me to buy…

Oh god no. I was looking at tis very model and year when it popped up on my local CL, and within a couple of weeks it came and went from the site as its ask went from $4,800 down to $1,500, no doubt after someone else took it to a mechanic. It might still be there. This things are dumpsters in need of a fire

Is no one gonna mention how hard a cabover is on your back? Because your chiropractor couldn’t be happier about your choice

This guy’s truck is gonna look like this.

The weed stores here give you a free doobie carrier if you buy a joint. They’re smellproof, easy to hide and you can pack at least a quarter into them. Great stuff for travelling.

I lived in the Canadian Arctic a few hundred miles north of Fairbanks in Inuvik NWT, and the effects of global warming were obvious and apparent then because the permafrost was melting and anything built on that permafrost - the local high school, scores of houses, the above-ground utilidor carrying sewage and water…
