*sighs* You know what? A lot of my TDI friends have been saying the same thing about the EPA.


But then I remember what poo poo was like before the EPA. And I'm okay with environmental regs.

I'm in love with the E7450s. Easy to access the important components, great battery life. But its an ultrabook so onboard graphics.

2.85 in Cali for me. 2.69 on base.

I don't have any issue with EPA regs, I just think a little moderation might be a good thing.

I'll second this emotion. I'm also glad I live in a state that allows auto parts stores to use code readers.

In other news, I've been watching a bunch of woodworking videos. I've always liked metalwork, so this is new to me. This night, I built a small box out of scrap plywood and glue for storing utility knives at the hackerspace. I'm surprised at just how sturdy plywood and glue is!

Costgo gas is cheap, but gently caress me if I'm dealing with the zoo-lines at their stations, I'll pay an extra $2.50 per tank of gas and just go to QT and save myself 20 or 30 minutes of bullshit.

Counter point: you've been biking all winter without a fatbike.

Onboard graphics are fine. I just need to poo poo post on SA and edit some photos.

Edit: carb hasn't imposed poo poo on other states. Your states may have adopted carb regs, but CA hasn't imposed poo poo.
Also, I enjoy breathing.

Where exactly is the snow/mud to make a fatbike useful?

7440 or 7450 would be fine then. I went to a surface book for my machine, but we use the dells at the office.

I won't stop beating the dead horse that is me being lovely about my whole 3 (maybe 4) hours at Pudong.

You can instantly see that visibility is dogshit from the cloud of smog above the city. All of the rivers and canals are incredibly disgusting. The airport itself also looks like it was hastily put together with zero attention to detail, just the major plot points of what constitutes an airport.

Emissions systems work and leaded fuel literally made people dumb. I like to have nice things and I want everyone to have nice things when "things = air that isn't actively killing you". CARB is dumb, but there's a weird and peculiar reason why regulations exist.

For every Ricky Muir, we get 20 oval office rockets no matter the system. Muir and Ludham are probably the only decent actual humans in the Senate.

BTW, you doing the intro for next month? I'm off to Forster so I cant snype it.I have better things to do than posting poo poo on the Interwebs :D

Yeah, pretty much any Dell Precision Mobile or Latitude will be fine for parts availability and actually servicing them. Inspirons are hell tho, and so is pretty much any HP laptop. We're a Dell shop for laptops, and swapping parts in and out of Latitudes is easy.

gently caress me. Came home from a beautiful vacation to see my Jeep jacked up by its pumpkin and hole punched in my fuel tank.

Anyone know of a good sealer for a plastic tank, or barring that somewhere I can get a replacement? Rock auto doesn't have one and so far my Google fu is bringing up no '97 tanks only up to 96. I know 97 was a weird year for the electrics but would a 96 tank fit?

Is it a green jeep or a blue jeep
