What did people think of my old avatar of Luigi giving an O-face?
After reading this all I can imagine is a Nintendo version of Office Space with Mario as Lumbergh, Yoshi as Milton, Ice Climbers as Michael Bolton and Samir, and other characters in fitting roles. My imagination goes crazy sometimes.
So, I'd like to get some of those weighted rollers that you can set a bike on that force you to use all your muscle groups while stationary cycling. I'll be using them both at home (where I have plenty of room) and in my apartment (where I won't), so being able to break them down or otherwise stow them in a compact fashion would be a plus. Can any other cyclists recommend a good set?
My boss is a pretty avid cyclist and I've overheard him telling someone specifically not to use those things... but it could have been context specific... he does a lot of racing so his "training" is probably more specialized.

He might have been talking about Trainers, which wear out your rear tire and keep the bike straight so you don't learn to balance, ride in a straight line, or avoid doing the push-push. Rollers are pretty standard training equipment for anyone who needs to do some serious training indoors; Illinois being what it is for rain and snow, I kind of need a set.
What did people think of my old avatar of Luigi giving an O-face? It was a relic from an old forum I used to post on. The image was from a clip of Japan's Mario Kart DS commercials, with four different forumites each taking on one of the different racers. I never realized how awkward it looked out of context until right now...
Can any Latin scholars here translate, "In fire we are tortured, in fire we are forged," into Latin for me, using crucio for torture and conflo for forge? I need it for a project I'm working on.

Should I buy Artemis while it's on sale for $30. I think I've already gotten one friend interested, but he's also the token flaky friend...
On a related rant, the game is DRM free, so I could just pirate it, and buy it if I like it... but I still WANT to support the developers because they're doing something cool... but if my motivation is more patronage than purchasing, should I really be quibbling over $10?
Ugh... yet again, New Media Economics are making my head spin...

Also, Greg TvH's link only handles single words for English->Latin.
No, it has two input boxes for each.
Automatic translators may be more efficient, but people (even strangers from the internet) do a better job.
It's not an automatic translator. It's a dictionary that recognizes all forms of a word. WuB already has the rest of the passage, he ought to be able to figure out any necessary prepositions from context.
Anybody here know much about compound bows? I picked up an older Darton wooden compound bow at goodwill for $20 today, and my dad got all pissy but I thought it was a good deal. Anyone know if this was a good deal and/or how much it might be worth? I'm not having good luck finding this model online.

I know some, Darton does make quality bows but I cannot tell you about the shape of the one you have is in unless I saw it.
What model is the bow? I can see if it has any issues specific to the model maybe.
Wow, I am going to have to ask a friend about that one as I have to be wrong for it to look like it is in that good of shape at the age I am thinking. If I am correct that is around 35 years old though, and they were not that bad then. They are a bit faster than some modern compound bows.

Inferne cruciar, inferne conflar
Or if you want to be more fanciful:
Inferne cruciar, conflar
