Superthread LX - Celebrating Misanthrope's Birth

This pitch in Pakistan looks like it's made from polished glass. Looks bloody weird.

I have no idea what you're talking about Apey... :sarcasm:

New boots on the car today. Dropped down high performance Pirelli Pzero Neros to slightly more sane (and hopefully longer lasting) P1s. Trying out the nitrogen-filled option to see if it makes a difference (only needs refilling every 3 months rather than every two weeks). Car is definitely riding quieter and smoother. Not sure of it's the new rubber, the nitrogen, or both.

Nitrogen in car tyres is a wank mate.

The only reason we use it in aircraft tyres is because it's inert, don't waste your money on it hey.

It's Sharjah, not Pakistan But I was just talking to my brother about that. You can literally see the players reflections. It looks like some merkin has been rolling it with a Zamboni

It's taken a while to get used to my fitted cap. Want a storm one badly, but the last few years have been too small for my head.

Fitted caps are good.

But when the brims are flat and they have a high crown, well i refuse to buy them.

 

[Bazal]

Don't understand those really hard flat brims. Uncomfortable as

They fit my, uh, eclectic style. Bright orange broncos cap, bright yellow sunnies, some form of singlet, shitty tattoos, and either black jeans or bordies, shitty leg tattoos and bright green shoes. I give no f**ks, and somehow it works :lol:

Didn't cost much, so I thought I'd give it a go. Beats having to check tyre pressures every time I fill up, and finding the air hose broken or missing most of the time. If I had an air compressor at home, it'd be a different story.

Yep, you have to wear it at an angle, and riding high. Try to wear it normally and it's pain.

 

[Jason Maher]

Bloody hell, always thought Sharjah was a city in Pakistan. Spot the bloke who came first in NSW in a Geography competition.

 

[Jason Maher]

Wtf is a fitted cap?

 

[beave]

Cap that lacks the adjusting arms at the back.

 

[afinalsin666]

Wtf is a fitted cap?

This. Flat brim, and isn't adjustable at the back.

 

[beave]

Its got nothing to do with the brim mate.

The fitted part is if it has an adjustment available

 

[afinalsin666]

Yeah, I just assumed he was also asking about me and bazal talking about the flat brim.

 

[Jason Maher]

I always thought they were knownas baseball caps. I find the straight brims amusing. When I was at school, you had to have a curved brim. Straight brims were extremely uncool. Ditto with fly-eye sunglasses (another fashion that has swapped around).

 

[dogslife]

Giving away your age here Maher

 

[afinalsin666]

I have no idea what's cool anymore :lol: too many years of rocking whatever bullshit fit me, options are limited at 6xl :lol:

Just did a bit of googling. Turns out there are two main benefits: the gas migrates slower, so you need to check pressures less often; and pure nitrogen is guaranteed to be dry (moisture free), which reduces pressure variability with temperature. The best bet is to have your own air compressor and make sure you purge it of moisture properly.

Yep, if you had a straight brim in high school you were ridiculed in my day (early 90's).

Half the f**king kids these days wouldn't even know who the teams were/are of the snapbacks they are wearing. I see 11-12 year olds strutting around with Charlotte Hornet caps on knowing full well they have no f**king idea the team doesnt exist anymore, though lucky for them their snapback becomes relevant again next year when Charlotte take back the name.
