Well with any luck you'll find that perfect spouse.

No worries, farm/country/redneck weddings are usually a lot of fun. The ones I've been to are a lot of people not giving a poo poo, drinking a lot and having a great time. Better than the uptight fancy ones I've been too lately.

Decided to try out the company cafeteria for lunch yesterday. Wound up getting chicken that was raw in the middle. Of course I didn't discover this until a few bites in. I don't think I'll be eating there again.

The suspension on my friend's car is hosed. I'm guessing bad tie-rod and/or ball joint?

When I was hanging around waiting for the interview the mailman came in to deliver some mail, and left with some whippits. Interesting job I bet.

Just had a hell of a time getting a background check and drug screen completed. Not because there was something on the screen, but because the company doing the background check wouldn't get off their rear end and loving send the completed poo poo to my new employer. I resorted to yelling "my kids can't eat excuses, you assholes! Do your goddamn job!" over the phone, which seemed to get their attention. Magically, my info was ready to send moments later. Apparently a 3-day weekend makes everyone lose their goddamn mind.

The Avalanche seems to be one of the only vehicles that chevy has made that is not on their giant recall list. I've never been so happy to drive a giant truck covered in plastic.  The Escalade is however. I might want to have my break lines checked, since those two vehicles share a massive number of parts. Elmnt80 fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Jul 9, 2014 |

The guy I sold my seats to came by to pick them up from eBay. I managed to diagnose and repair a bunch of stuff on his car and he's extremely grateful because he says his car runs better than ever now. Also his original seats were completely destroyed so I helped him install the new ones so he was able to drive two hours to his house in comfort. Volvo 4 life

LloydDobler posted:So for years I've been using an image host that was private and run by a friend. His site has wound down to zero activity so I think he's finally letting the domain expire. I've offered to take it over so that I don't have to re-host my thousand or so pictures but he just wants to let it go, I think he thinks transferring it is a huge pain or something. Disclaimer: its been probably 8 years since I've hosed around with web hosting, but I used to run a site or two for my friends which usually wound up being image/doc hosts for us. Transferring the old domain name and re-hosting it is definitely your easiest option. If your friend has reasons other than being lazy for not wanting to transfer it, wait until it is available to register and put some cheap hosting on it. Failing that, you'll have to pay to register/host your own site and re-upload the images. Either way, you'll want to pay close attention/note the file structure of your friend's current site structure, i.e. http://lloyddobler.stupidfriend.com/car-photo.jpeg as well as log in and download all of your photos before his hosting expires (that is important!). Since you have ~1000 images on it I assume you have FTP access (unless your friend had some fancy uploading portal, but odds are your login info would work in an FTP program anyway). Just go into the public_html directory and download your entire /lloyddobler folder (or whatever it is). Now you've got all your stuff. 8 years ago the Cpanels of any of the web hosts I tried made it stupid easy to set up subdomains (such as lloyddobler.stupidfriend.com) etc. If your friend just set it up as stupidfriend.com/public_html/lloyddobler you won't even have to gently caress around with subdomains - just make an appropriately named folder in the root dir. If you can register the exact name of the old site and re-create it's file structure exactly, you won't have to do anything. Otherwise yeah, you'll have to namesearch-replace each post.

I tried reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance years ago and recall it seeming pretty contrived and insufferable. Is it worth a revisit, or did my teenage self actually get something right? Edit: I recall enjoying reading the road trip bits but the weird philosophical tangents threw me.

CharlesM posted:I'd generally recommend something with a better nutritional value than Iams. That specific formula starts with chicken by product meal (beaks, feet, whatever else leftovers) and continues with a lot of corn product. Corn isn't really that useful to cats. If you're interested I'm sure there's a pet nutrition thread in Pet Island. On the other hand if you have a picky eater you gotta do what you gotta do. Speaking to the choir sir. Iams was only kept around because most grocery stores around here don't carry stuff like Wellness, Nutro, etc - so if I space out and forget to grab cat food before work, it's either go hungry or at least feed him something that'll fill his belly (I generally don't get out of work until well past 9pm, which is when my favorite pet supply store closes). Iams seemed like the lesser of the evils on the shelf at Wal-Mart at 2am. Generally I've always stuck with Wellness or Nutro - the last food he was regularly on was Nutro Max Cat Senior. He's turning his nose up at the Iams again, and also at the Nutro. He's never really been big on canned food, so there's always been some kind of running water available as well. goatse guy posted:They can't be any worse than the toothless hicks and truckers that I dealt with when I worked at a highway gas station in rural North Dakota last summer.

So far we're having a proper monsoon season with horizontal rain, pushing haboobs to Phoenix, ridiculous electrical storms, etc. When I first moved here the monsoon rains were so strong that major roads became rivers, I had to remove the CAI on my car, my roommate lost his engine to a wash (as did his boss the day earlier), and we got a 22re Toyota pick up come in to the shop with a soaking wet air filter. It became a nice fountain while cranking it over with the plugs out. New plugs, oil, and filters and it was back to business. Yesterday the power cut out at work and I learned our fancy new Haas mill will keep spinning for over 5 minutes with no power. I ended up stopping it by rubbing a dead blow hammer on the tool holder because I'm impatient. Tonight on the way home the thunder and lightning was amazing, and it started lightly raining again. I loving love this place especially now that I live in a house with a nice dry AC instead of a worthless swamp cooler.
