I had my brother buy my account for me(lacking a credit card at the time), so I ended up with random text that has always confused me. Then I got the burnouts tag since I spent too much time in TCC.

Bring back "I post [img-timeline]" I was wondering why people were so annoyed over the "STUPID POST" image, too. Now, I know. Back to 'turn off avatars' if I ever get bored and browse when in public.

Everyone on mazdaroadster is an unsalvageable moron. I pulled the dash out of the junk NB2 to specifically sell it to some moron who wants to do a totally SICK NASTY half dash.quote:Ehh I dont think Im gunna do it. If I do Ill be doing a complete custom dash at this point. THanks though. GONNA BE SICKKKKKKKKKK. I thank him for wasting my time. quote:Oh, I figured you had it lying around or were taking it off anyways for some other job. Why dont you need it? Is it coming from a project car? I just dont understand why you took it off just for me and not for something else? What are you doing to your car that it doesnt need a dash? Hey Comrade Questions, stop asking questions you don't want to know the answer to.

Smashed the gently caress out of my thumb today at work moving particle board shelves around. I was on the very last piece of the job and it slipped out of my grip and slammed across my hand. Thank god this happened in midair. If my had had been resting on something I would have no doubt broken some bones. Anyways, big ol' contusion under the nail, large visible blood patch beneath the nail and a throbbing that got worse as time passed. I finally couldn't handle it, watched a few Youtube videos and prepped myself for surgery. I grabbed a small drill bit, rubbing alcohol, peroxide and a lighter and went to work. Heated and sterilized the bit and slowly turned it into the nail at the center of the dark blotch, applying pressure as I went. Took a little bit as I was scared of going to far too fast but well, this was the result  [url]http://i.imgur.com/wziP3Cwl.jpg[/url] WHAT THE gently caress DUDEEdit: About half an hour later it throbbed a little again so I gave it another go and spun right through and tapped the soft tissue slightly. Drained a ton more that time. Will probably have to hit it one more time tonight. Somebody fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Aug 21, 2014 |

Wanted to install a buzzer in the beetle to let me know that I've left my lights on, but I went full retard for about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to cleanly sneak in a SPDT relay in there along with the piezo buzzer. Then I had a dopeslap moment and remembered that piezoelectric buzzers act like diodes, and just threw the anode on the light circuit and the cathode on the ignition switch circuit. Lights on ignition on, no buzz (12v both circuits). Lights on ignition off it buzzes, as it grounds through the ignition switch/housing/fuel gauge/whatever. Ignition on lights off it does nothing because it acts like a diode. Why it took me 20 full, frantic planning minutes to remember I don't know.

Eh, didn't phase me. But to each their own  Looks like a hell of an fun injury man, hope it heals well. Soak your thumb in warm salt water every couple of hours for the next few days, helps kill bacteria and promotes healing.

Less annoying than a buzzer is just put a relay on the light circuit and then wire the light switch off the accessory position on the ignition instead of the battery.

Holy poo poo what does it take for people to turn their lights on? I was in a thunderstorm on a six lane highway tonight and a black Ford Edge was almost complete invisible with their lights off. I flashed my brights at them from behind and when that didnt work, got in front of them and turned my tail lights on and off. This was the kind of rain where your windshield wipers are on full blast. They pulled alongside me and I opened my window in the pouring rain and pointed at my headlights to the person in the passenger seat while flashing my brights. This just enraged them and they spent the next 5km or so behind me flashing their brights at me angrily. I got to my exit and just called the provincial police in frustration as they instantly disappeared into the darkness. Car manufacturers should get a gigantic government safety dick in their rear end for having gauges that illuminate when the lights are off. 8ender fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Aug 21, 2014 |

When at the doctor is only hurt a but. Two or so hours later it hurt so bad the pain was shooting up my arm. The common relief for a nail injury is to relieve the pressure. Hell they offered to do it at the doctor but I didn't think it was needed at the time. It's only a little sore now compared to earlier.

Welp, USAA's online banking has something that lets you figure out the easiest way to get out of debt, based on your debt, interest, payments, etc. It's depressing when you realize your total debt is nearly $16k. That's just student loans and my car loan, though my student loans are in economic hardship deferment for the next year (and the deferment can be renewed twice). And the debt tool basically said  once I entered everything.  At least the worst of my debt was charged off years ago (and is legally uncollectable at this point in my state; anything over 4 years means all they can do is call me or send the occasional letter in my state... most of it is around 6-7 years old, and I've had the worst removed from my credit history through disputes). Oddest thing - I got a check in the mail from my doctor the other day. Written on it was "Refund for <date of last visit in June>", no other explanation. Looked it up on my insurer's website; they filed the claim 2 weeks ago, while the hospital I was at a few weeks ago filed all of their claims within 4 days (5 claims total, one was filed the same day). I knew I'd maxed out my out of pocket for the year while there, but I didn't realize my doctor's office was so slow to file claims. And yes, I've got applications in all over the place. And I've limited my availability at the Hut significantly to help in a job search (oddly, I'm averaging more per hour with the limited availability I've given them; averaging about the same as I was when I worked full time). I do plan a real 2 week notice, but I need to get a Real Job asap. We're losing people in droves, including management, and I have no plans to stick around long enough to see the dust settle. Asst mgr got demoted to shift mgr and kicked to another store (after being demoted from GM); 2 of 3 shift managers put in their 2 week notice; 2 cooks put in their 2 weeks notice (and another just quit showing up after he got another job), we've lost so many drivers that nearly 1/3 of our deliveries are handled by managers now (even our bartender is delivering occasionally, along with waitstaff), and a good chunk of our orders are 1 1/2 to 2 hours old when they get delivered - and our main closer got locked up on felony gun charges, on top of felony warrants and convictions that didn't show up on our lovely background check. At least now the GM is realizing just how much drugs are loving this place over. But with at least half the staff dealing various substances (mostly lovely coke, plenty of crappy weed, and heroin shows up now and then) and about -50 applications rolling in per month... (the GM does his share of drugs too; I've smoked my share of pot with him and gotten drunk with him after close plenty; but he's finally admitting that he has no business doing drugs if he's a GM, at least not at work). tl;dr this place is loving toxic for everyone involved, including the customers. We have a very well deserved 1 star rating on Yelp. Area manager refuses to let me transfer to another store, so.. Rhyno posted:When at the doctor is only hurt a but.

You are all pansies and drilling a nail doesn't hurt at all. It is just dead keratin, this is like children freaking out the first time their fingernails or hair gets cut. The only reason to do it is to drain pressure out from under it, which feels a lot better afterwards. It would of course hurt like hell if you did it on a healthy nail. So, uh, don't?

Never liked the heated needle, it works but i always seem to have much gentler results with using the corner of a brand new safety blade or xacto tip and just spin it around till it gets through. Or skip the process and just remove the nail entirely with a jagged chunk of rusty steel like that one dude in the mech failures thread did.
