I was right on Monday, it is one of those weeks and should be cancelled. Too many stupid avoidable errors by me, there really is no excuse for some of them but I just can't seem to get it right this week. Right before appraisals

I hosed up an excel spreadsheet I use to convert query output into a .csv and cost the site $2515.  Boss's boss just kinda dismissed it as "poo poo happens, we'll live." It's really nice to have a lot of good-will saved up for those times you catch the  and do something incredibly stupid.

My girlfriend needs a new ride and someone at work is selling a 2000 or 2001 Honda Accord SE with 127k miles for $3400. If I go look at it, is there anything that I should look for specifically? I've heard that the transmissions in these cars are ticking time bombs, can anyone chime in on that?

some texas redneck posted:and the APR is relatively low. This matters but almost doesn't matter. You should be paying off the card in full every time you get your statement. Buy a tank of gas or two every month and just pay it off. That does just as good because reporting agencies just want to see if you pay what you borrow. Never carry a balance. If you don't have the cash, you don't have the credit. Then in like a year or so, see if USAA will turn it into a regular card.

I believe it's 2000-2004 and it's not if, it's when for the autobox eating poo poo. However I think (look into this) it was only the V6 models doing it. I did a bunch of research on it a while back when my brother fell in love with an 03' V6 on a test drive. I had to break his heart

"Imaginary numbers," got into a violent argument with the instructor over what possible reason could i ever need to use imaginary numbers in any situation not directly making fun of something, dropped that class and then spent the next few years blasting my brain with as much mushrooms and lsd as i could get my hands on to forget. Fucker at autozone yesterday couldn't calculate he owed me 38c in change when he punched the wrong numbers into the register. I had the number figured out before he even entered the number. I thought my math was terrible. Nope.

I'm camping on holiday in Devon right now and I'm getting loving sick of the sight of slammed VW T5s with 'witty' vinyl slogans and stripes on. I'd literally maim to see something interesting or even a loving transit conversion. Where's kevbarlas when you need him?

It's a delivery van not a split window you fucks! It's as bad as shitheap landrovers with "ONE LIFE LIVE IT" stickers. Also why not get a Renault Master or Jumbo Transit so can actually stand up and move around? Hell for the price of a T5 you could probably get a Sprinter 4x4

Amazing loving find at goodwill today. If you're into audio (I wouldn't say audiophile, but maybe), you'll understand. Or, if you know how to Google. I'm sorry that they're sideways: for some reason, imgur is rotating them.    PSB Century 500i's, the made in Canada version! The casings have some of the usual dings around the corners, but they're otherwise very solid (and loving heavy). Domes and surrounds look brand new. PSB and Polk Audio are my go-to speaker brands, and these fill in the lower tones nicely as the "B" speakers along with my PSB Alpha LR1's (that I found months ago at the same goodwill for $25 for the pair, still in plastic).

I got a pair of Philips FB-815s from my local GW for $10. No joke, 5 bucks a piece. All the drivers need to be refoamed, but  is .

Jesus gently caress that's awesome. I almost had a set for 10x what you paid. Ended up going with Polk RT600s because they were "only" $250, in slightly better condition and I like the look of a full tower better.

I got a pair of DCM monitors (I don't remember the model) for $15 at Salvation Army. Nothing beats the Klipsch KG4s with new crossovers for $25. Those things are beasts when put on (big) stands.

Tusen Takk posted:What's going on? Some cops shot a black kid, whole neighborhood came out to protest, and it's escalated fast. FAA no-fly zone above the area, media being arrested and released with no formal charges, tear gas being thrown, and now I've heard they're straight up shooting at these people. The kid was walking through his own neighborhood, the cop told him to lay down for no reason, and when he protested that he was almost to his house the cop stopped his car, got out and shot him, straight up.

What a shitastic day. I go to leave this morning for a possible side gig at a repair place, and find out someone shot out the rear window of my wagon (the one I finally tinted 3 weeks ago) with a BB gun. So I hop in another car, go talk to the shop owner and found out the job ended up being sublet to another shop. Get to work, get put on a lovely job with a machine that just had it's control board replaced (and is completely unproven). To make matters worse, the job I'm running likes to fly out of the jaws at 3000rpm, and makes a spectacular noise being it's about 3 lbs or so of 17-4. gently caress today.

My local news website right now:  One link and one video, with far more space devoted to sex and sports. One of the other more popular local news sites, AZFamily, literally has no links to coverage of this whatsoever.
