This has been a lovely day. So lovely that I just sort of went off on a child customer. I mean, to be fair he's an insufferable little poo poo and called me stupid to my face right before I was rude to him but that doesn't excuse it.

Anyone familiar with the metal band Black Tide out of Florida? Their tour bus (f350 van with trailer) rolled into our shop yesterday. Upper ball joint about to fail on the pass side. Front tires nearly showing chords on the inside. What did they want? A hitch installed so they didnt have to use the stock bumper hitch to tow their dual axle trailer with air brakes they werent using. Didnt have time to do the ball joint cause they would miss their next gig five hours away. Rock and Roll. I tell you.

I was gonna say professional musicians' gigs are really important seeing as it's how they get paid, and at least they're not content with overloading the stock hitch, but it seems like they've been around for a while and should at least have the cash to deal with major stuff like that.

Okay. We run stupid gaming on Saturdays, usually that Yugioh horseshit. This one kid, 10 years old, is an insufferable little poo poo that mouths off and I'm constantly telling him to watch his mouth. Twice I've told him to go home because of his behavior and of course nobody else has been around to witness this other than me. I've had to take his mother aside over him called an 19 year old kid a human being and nearly getting his rear end whipped right in the middle of the store. So for some loving reason he's in on Wednesday which is usually the best day for me at work. He starts harping on me about wanting to see something, I have no idea what the gently caress he's talking about. He asks about a game product I know nothing about so I jump online to find out and this little poo poo calls me stupid. That I shrugged off and then he asks something else about Pokemone and I don't know the answer because I'm not a child or a pedophile and he says "How can you not know this" and I snapped back Because I don't care. Not a very good moment for me, I don't think I've ever gone off on a child before. The kid just shrugged it off and kept jabbering on about his stupid game. My manager wasn't too pleased. I'm not fired or anything but it's still annoying. Edit: I'm pretty sure that my frustration with some of my friends is what lead to this. I've been actively removing the worst people from my life and the other day something got back to me that was said and that person was speaking on my behalf. This kind of set me off and I've been in a pissy mood for 3 days now. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jun 11, 2014 |

If you were allowed real metal cylinder liners and valve seats, how long do you think an engine block cast out of J-B Weld would last? Steel crank, rods, pistons are allowed. Basically just the block and head J-B.

I don't classify this as "snapping," perhaps a bit snippy, but I certainly wouldn't ruin my day with thoughts of how to handle the situation differently. If meatpimp dealt with the dirty public, THEN you'd get stories about snapping.

Rhyno posted:Do you drink a lot of beer, pop and eat fried and fast food? A few beers/ciders a week (3-6), soda once or twice a week, and usually sugar-free, probably too much fried and fast food, though way less than, say 10 years ago. I think my main problem is the weight already gained previously, and little exercise. I'm not gaining anything, but I'm not losing much if any either. I do tend to eat more than one serving of stuff that tastes good. That's something I need to moderate badly. So more how much I eat rather than what, really. I'm one of those people that just really likes the taste of food. Unfortunately, what I tend to like is good old Southern cooking, Italian, German and Mexican stuff.

Diet change and portion control is why 73 days later I'm down 20 pounds. You need to get rid of the beer and pop altogether, you'll melt pounds off so fast you'll think you have cancer. Switch to just liquor if you need booze in your life.

You just have to start small and work your way up. First off, how much water are you drinking a day? If you're not drinking any or not that much, go out of your way to drink an extra glass than you do a day and build yourself up. This will probably cut some calories out. I don't think I need to tell you if you cut back more on your alcohol consumption that'll also cut more calories. Since you mentioned eating multiple servings, just start cutting back little by little. Eventually, you'll want to replace some of your sides with healthier options. Instead of getting fries, get a side of vegetables or a small salad. Don't give up everything you like, just slowly over time add in more fruits and vegetables and less fried food. You don't have to be super healthy every meal and if you make a mistake and eat something you shouldn't have, don't beat yourself up for it and be more mindful about it your next meal. The hardest part about working out is getting into a routine. For me, I tried to go after work because I know if I don't, I won't go at all. I used to listen to podcasts but now I watch TV on my tablet. If I'm going to watch it anyway, I might as well be burning calories. You have to find something you enjoy so you'll keep going to the gym. One day, you're just going to have to make a decision and just go. Sorry I don't have any better advice on this. I've been working out and watching my diet more closely. I've lost about 10 lbs since the beginning of May and I'm aiming to lose another 10 or so by the end of the summer. I have a real taste for food and I can eat way more than I should. It's a struggle but I feel better than I ever have in my life.

I just switched to diet soda and *mostly* cut back beer. I'd still get a craft brew from time to time. Now I'm within 5% of my goal weight and workout at least once a day so I eat whatever the gently caress I want and don't really change shape or weight. Case in point? Tonight's dinner was a pepperoni calzone and a ton of chips and scorching hot queso dip. Washed down with a G&T and a Tallgrass Ethos IPA.

For the record, I don't miss lovely food at all. If I want spicy chicken wings I baste a chicken breast with one of my hot sauce mixes and bake it. Far healthier and it tastes amazing.

You're right and that's what I should do, but I have ungodly terrible impulse control. That's probably part of the reason I work out so much. I feel like a chump if I don't so now it's almost instinctive that I MUST work out at least once a day. Luckily (aside from greasy foods) I've avoided dangerous addictions so far. To counter- balance though I had a normal bowl of Kashi GoLean in almond milk for breakfast and a seasoned ground turkey sandwich on whole grain bread for lunch.

Basically just the block and head J-B. The heads are a no-go. But I bet you could do a low power/low compression block with liners and head bolt inserts that could idle for at least 15-20 seconds if you could figure out how to start it from the crank or bolt the starter to the bell housing rather than to any portion of the jbblock.

If you're a manager then you have the power to have people trespassed. If you want to keep assholes driving good customers away from your business and keep most of your sanity it's something you need to practice. I trespass someone probably every other week. Sometimes entire groups of people.

So I was driving home from a day out today, and saw a really strange car today and I was hoping someone could ID it for me. I unfortunately didn't get a close look/usable picture since I was several lanes away from it and it was slow stop and go traffic (ATLiens: 400 northbound itp at 5:30pm, you know what I mean.) It appeared to be a mid-late 90s 5-door hatchback/small van with a distinct angled tailgate and odd diagonal [\\\\] [////] shaped tail lights. The rear glass was relatively short, so it had more of a van than car-like appearance. License plate was from no country I recognize. Letters on the tailgate spelled out what I thought said "SAZSARA" and there appeared to be a small oval logo too. Google says possibly a Lada Samsara but GIS doesn't really show anything with those distinct tail lights. It appeared to be RHD. Was wondering if an international AIer had any idea what it might be.

Jesus Christ. I just had a fight with the girlfriend and unless I misheard her the basis of the fight was that her mother was dead and mine was alive. I mean, her mom was a pill popping junkie who tried to kill herself like 4 times that I know of but that's cool, bite my head off for having a living parent

Sounds like you have more terrible people to cut out of your life. I used to work for games workshop (worst job ever) and "I don't care" wouldn't get noticed. "Get the gently caress out of my shop you Autistic loud-mouthed poo poo-eating pedant" isn't even what got me fired. Not knowing every rule and not deceiving unknowing parents into buying more/to much/the wrong flavour of plastic crack is what got me fired.
