Yeah, you might as well use that... GTP has no adult forums, they'd be against the AUP.

:lol:!!

What happens if someone negative repped you and then the post got deleted? I hope it goes away, since this time I was -Repped for a wrong reason, and then the post got deleted. :ouch:
 
It doesn't go away, and they(The Moderators) won't take it away either. They figure the person who gave it to you must have had a reason for it and they won't question it.
 
Anyone knows what kind of fruit this is? It looks like a Orange, but ashey cherry. It is also larger than an average cherry. There is a seed inside, and if you step on it, green stuff is visible. When you step on the fruit itself, it makes a pop sound, and orange stuff falls out, anyone has any idea what it is? It also smells like skunk and rubber.
 
Well atleast I tried. It is NOT a cherry, I searched and it is something else, but I don't know what. :confused: Though it is usually more pale and ashy than this.
 
Im pretty sure ive seen em. Theres a tree full of em near my school, ill try take a pic on monday.
 
Why aren't high-performance wheels made of carbon fiber?
 
They'd cost too much. High performance 17's already get you above the 1k mark, or at least pretty close, imagine how much it'd be if they were solid carbon fiber.

That's my guess.

I think its because it would be very dangerous if you were to crash. You would have shards of sharp carbon fibre shooting in all directions at a very high speed.
 
Ok, I'm looking for a device that musicians use to keep in tune with. You can use it to give a certain tempo. It's like and upside down pendulum, that ticks back and forth. With a weight on a rod you adjust on it depending on how fast you want your tempo to be.

Do any of y'all know what I'm talking about? And is there an online version of it?
 
Metronome is the keyword, and with that, google away!

Carbon fiber is too weak to deal with the stresses imposed on wheels. It's a strong material when loaded in the direction of the weave, but not so much when loaded perpendicularly. The twisting and turning loads of a wheel would buckle it under the stress.
 
Is selling train rides illegal? Like say if you charge someone two dollars so you can swipe them with your card (we have cards not tickets), is that illegal? My aunt has an unlimited card which she paid for, and she is checking if this is legal, considering she bought the card, it should be. Plus not every card vending machine takes cash, so this is basically helping out those who only have cash to pay for it and they can't find a MVM machine (Metrocard Vending Machine) that accepts cash.
 
Who do I go to for information on Taxes? because I believe that I have to file taxes this year and I want to do it already but I'm just lost.

Oh, that makes perfect sense. Don't know why I didn't realize that.
 
How come Interac/debit handsets' card-readers aren't standerdized in the orientation of the card's strip?

Every time I use my Interac, it seems I have to swipe the card with the magnetic strip in a different direction. At work today, sooo many people swipe it wrong, it is quite funny. Still frustrating, but also funny.
 
Is this a GTP-thing or just spam?

I guess it's a GTP-thing (that .com domain that Jordan bought) but I have to be sure before I *update*.

The Koenigsegg CCX has carbon fibre wheels.

Edit: Wikipedia doesn't say anything about it, but it was one of the Koenigseggs.

Edit: Mentioned on Koenigsegg's website:

www.koenigsegg.com
Wheels / Brakes

The optional industry first carbon fibre wheels save another 3 kg per wheel compared to the already lightweight magnesium wheels that come as standard. The ceramic discs save another 2 kg per wheel, giving the Koenigsegg CCX lower unsprung weight than any other super car.

He isn't late. As soon as that hot sister fad is over, I'm reverting back to it.

And there's a bunch of GTP-specific ones in my signature.
 
The link in your sig was one of threads I was looking for. I didnt think it was going to be in 'Computers & Web Design' :ouch:
 
Anyone knows if the 10th grade is taking regents tommorow? I can't tell if my brother is lying or not...
