I've never heard of a spinning class.

What is wrong with saying "using an exercise bike"
Click to expand...

i think the difference is "spinning" bikes are like fixed gear bikes. if the wheel is spinning, the pedals are spinning

a regular excersise bike has an independent wheel and pedals


i think..

Why is something where you "cycle" called "spinning"

Whenever I am riding a bike I am"pedaling" a bike

I am not "spinning" a bike

WTF. WTF!!

What's with all this jargon like pedal and ride? You spin the thing, it's a spinning class. You probably like mustard and non garlic mayo, don't you.
 
I only found out what a spinning class was from my girlfriend last year, same with zumba. I swear there's a new exercise invented every other week, apparently going for a run in the morning is now uncool.
 
Quick Look EX: Pillars of Eternity?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What????? Are there other sites that have got video coverage of the game or is Matt Rorie bringing us his hot exclusives?
 
So what do you have to do to get a new title for your car?

UK equivalent would be a Logbook (V5) and if you lose yours then you can fill out a form to get a new one. From what I have heard of the DMV, I am sure it isn't quite that simple.

Spin classes aren't a new thing, they've been around for some time.

Yup. I think they mentioned it on Friends once and I had to look it up. They have those spin cycles here but I don't think they lline them all up and have someone giving instruction - although people like dan might well sit on them backwards.

Of course GB gets the exclusive on Matthew Rorie's Pillars of Eternity!

edit: Also, the pause stuff in Ghostship has to be a bug, right?

Doesn't seem like it, especially when "resume" brings you to the YOU DIED screen after death. There is no saving or checkpointing of any kind for MAXIMUM IMMERSION.

It's just a really badly designed game.

Correct, far as I'm aware.

You're probably right. To make a perma death game where the first 20 minutes are some of the slowest first 30 minutes I've ever seen in a game sounds like a pretty bad idea too. Those enemies were pretty funny too.

That QL goes into "classic QLs" for me. Just hilarious stuff. Drew/Dan seems like a really great combo.
 
Reading all the super serious replies to Dan's DMV nightmare on twitter. Hilarious. Moonves should sign him up for a sitcom. It could be Dan, Jessica Simpson and Chumlee from Pawn Stars living in a house trying to work out how to switch on the dishwasher and repair a leaky tap. Running gag is that they try to get dan to try a different condiment every week and he is having none of it. Think curb but with slapstick.

all that shit above is copyright @me. I am going to be so freaking rich.
 
Watching the Destiny QL, I could swear one of the GB guys read all the Halo books. Either that or I'm confusing them for another podcast.
 
In Dan's defence he lived in the freedom-loving, main street America that is Minnesota. Move him to San Francisco, a city of hippies and communists and its easy to understand why he would get confused while being constantly strangled by Obama's job-killing bureaucratic regulations.
 
While I am constantly amazed by the things Dan doesn't know, I can empathize with his title-transfer bafflement. Car titles are poorly understood, and it is even pretty easy to forget about their very existence if you haven't bought/sold cars often or recently. Unlike registrations, licenses, and various certificates and proofs-of-things, there's only ever one title document per car, and you don't ever need it except for the initial(?) registration, and the eventual sale. During the intervening years, it just sits somewhere and gets forgotten about. (You aren't supposed to keep the title in the car, unlike just about everything else, if I remember correctly.)

I was selling a car recently, was reminded that I needed to find the title, couldn't, and ended up having to talk to the car dealer I bought the car from years ago. The dealer put me in touch with the proper title company, and they were able to send me a copy. I got the impression at every step of the process that my situation was pretty common.

Question: Is the "title" and the "pink slip" the same thing?
 
Thinking commercial driver applies to you is probably the only real weird one for me. I can excuse/not care about pretty much every other thing he didn't know.

Some people call them pink slips, yes. I have never seen a pink one though.
 
That Ghostship quick look was great. Best part was Dan thinking he would be able to handle the cold in space since he's from Minnasota :P

Generally I'm really happy about them hiring Dan, he has an energy and enthusiasm that I think the site (and especially Jeff) needed and he goes on some great Rorie like ramblings from time to time. It also helps that he's someone completly new to the site and his pressence alone kinda shakes the usually dynamics up a bit.

Assuming Dan isn't just clowning around again I find his lack of basic wisdom both endearing and cripplingly hilarious. I was doubled over laughing at people's responses to his ignorance.

Dan is so amazingly a quintessential mid-American it hurts. he reminds me exactly of my friend from Missouri who moved to Arizona and was clueless in almost all the same ways as Dan. he's awesome.
 
I like that Dan isn't afraid to admit ignorance in the face of all the ridicule. At least he's open to learning (about things that aren't soccer).

He would have to apply for a new title in the state it was originally issued in.
 
BAH GAWD KING, would ya' lookit this desk!?

Dan reminds me, especially now with him tweeting about desk decor, of that kid the first week of school who didn't do any assignments but was psyched about his new folders and trapper keepers.
