snap http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-x-Rainbow-Color-Turbo-Keychain-Auto-Parts-Model-Spinning-New/1952479781.html?s=p  The rotor actually spins! I wonder if it burns oil, too.

Two things today, AI: 1) Pat Goss makes me want to punch my TV, and my TV hasn't even done a damned thing to me. 2) The screws inside an iphone 5 are unreasonably small and turn a 5 minute battery change into a 15 minute one.

So I was all set to go to an outpatient rehab clinic to get a script for a medication to help with alcohol cravings (naltrexone). Then I realized my primary doctor usually will write a script for meds that I'm familiar with, as long as they're non-narcotic. I've been on that medication before, and it works quite well. You can try to drink on it, but it just makes you feel kind of yucky - no euphoria, you just feel your body going "wtf is this poo poo". Just looked it up on my insurance formulary - it's $10/month for generic, $243/mo for name brand, or  $1386 for the 30 day injectable version.Just left my doctor a voicemail asking if I can go in tomorrow (since I'm off work tomorrow) to discuss a medication adjustment.

I have the Costco (Arcan) version of this and it's great. Except when I need to lift it into the bed of the truck. As long as it's on the ground, way better than those tiny crappy aluminum ones you can keep in your trunk.

My Clarke long-chassis/high-lift jack is 120lbs, which I think is about as heavy as you'll find for something with a 2T capacity.

Throw it around enough and turn enough wrenches and you won't be a skinny nerd anymore. I'd say I'm about a middling-not-skinny-nerd now. Honestly I couldn't give less of a poo poo about whether I look strong or not, being able to get poo poo done is what I care about. And I need to use my pull-a-part gym membership more, because being sore for a couple days after a junkyard run is not alright.

The princess auto store here is moving, and they have a plastic 12 volt jack. It's like a bottle jack inside a plastic housing with an electric motor that pumps it up. I got them to set it up on the electrical bench to ttry it out and it was absolutely hilarious. It's like "schweeeeeeEEEEEEEEE *cachunk* schweeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE *cachunk*" Even if it could get a car off the ground, it would take half an hour to do it.

I've seen the scissor version of this, I thought it might be up to the task of altering height/angle of a draughting table at best, then I remembered I could get scissor jacks for like £2 each at the junkyard, so.... Son is off to the inlaws for a few days, house is infinitely quieter and cleaner/neater, I got to play with my daughter for like three hours straight, my anger issues are wiped away for now. I need to work on this. I might take Tuesday off, get an entire day out of the experience.

Is there any difference between a salvage title and a rebuilt title? The owner of the Salvage2000 is trying to convince some other dude to trade cars and I chimed in and let everyone know it's a salvage and dude is all "NO IT'S NOT IT'S A REBUILT TITLE."

From my experience no. I think some people make a distinction that salvage title = not repaired yet while rebuilt title = it has been fixed? That's all I can think of.

Rebuilt means it got repaired after it was totaled (salvage). If that guy trades a clean title car for a rebuilt title car he's an idiot.

A rebuilt title is the same as a salvage title. Both are worth garbage prices.
