You mean to say "the most talent" right? :ohdear: They took a ~5 year or so hiatus and a couple years ago got together and put out a new album. A lot more grown up. I have followed Ace Enders music career for over a decade now (what the hell Father Time, you are making me feel old). He has done a lot with two different side projects and does a fair amount of producing/writing for other bands. Basically T.E.N. gets together to jam when they can, but it is not their main thing they do anymore.

Stop being so loving proud and feel good that anonymous internet people care about your well-being want to keep you alive for their amusement. If you do end up with an airbed, GET A MATTRESS PAD. Otherwise, you will find aches in muscles and joints you never knew existed.

Hey, kastein.

Say you wanted to slam a unimog, lay it right in the weeds. Is there any mechanical reason why you couldn't just flip the portal axles upside down and run the engine in the opposite direction like an old 2 stroke detroit.

Well the kingpin axis of inclination would likely gently caress up your camber and steering angles, for one. Might also run into lubrication issues depending on how the differential oiling system is designed, some of them rely on a certain direction of rotation and gravitational vector to get oil where it needs to be. Also your diff might interfere with the ground.

Cakefool posted:

Rotate the portals about the axle, done.

This guy's got a better idea. On the front, just make sure the portals can be flipped without loving up the KPAI like I said before. If they're a separate housing bolted onto the outer knuckles you could probably pull it off simply by clocking the mounting bolt pattern 180 degrees.

There is a difference between 'taking care of' and 'want to help'. A ton of that is ego, but, yeah, trust is in there, too. If people want to offer their assistance to help you get to a better place, there is nothing wrong with that. If they want to throw money at you- make sure the G-string has been laundered.

If it makes you feel any better, all I've been given are custom titles and ignore list updates. :v:

A great way out of the "I need some external fuckupery so my internal fuckupery is justified" is a small group of trustworthy people you can bounce poo poo off of, and can rely on when you seriously need it. Right now's a great time for that. Your last name won't suddenly change to Kardashian just because you slightly angered Ayn Rand's corpse.

You don't buy jorts, you make them. Preferably while wearing them.

13, the only reason I squeaked by and am where I am today is that Fart Pipe basically forced me to accept $100 more in payment for some welding I did for him than I wanted to. I had literally $1.57 left in my bank account when my first paycheck at the new job landed, and I'd already raided the spare change pile of everything except the pennies. Everyone needs a hand up once in a while, whether it be financial or emotional.

I am having a BALL
So... on top of my "keep my focus of the cancer/Lancia" project list is now a bimoto 4WD Volvo 850 estate. I have even been tinkering with the rear engine installation mockups in solidworks the last three hours...

for more realistic purposes, i have narrowed down to my next project/tinkercar to be either volvo or mercedes since i can get the parts very cheap from work...

How much of an idiot am i if i end up having an old G-wagon as a DD, a bimoto 850 as a project and my Integrale as a track car/ongoing car fire?

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

I'm not really sure what to think of something I did today, so I'm just going to say what comes to mind;

I had the day off (hooray!) today, which I spent mostly doing domestic type stuff; laundry, groceries, errands and whatnot. Anyhow, I made a stop by my local bookstore to grab a coffee and browse around for books/magazines. I was just minding my own business in the car magazine section, along with older man, probably in his early to mid 60s, when his wife showed up and he immediately just started to berate her, right in the middle of the store. He was going on, chapter and verse, about how she was late (by 15 minutes) and how she was a gently caress-up for being late and how it ruined his plans for the rest of his day. I looked over to see just what the hell was going on and looking at the poor woman, you could tell from her body language that not only this sort of thing had happened before, but she had steeled herself for her husband's coming outburst.

I wasn't going to say anything at first, but when I saw that poor woman's face, something clicked in my head. I walked up behind the guy and tapped him on his shoulder, and in a not very polite manner, then I said to him in a voice loud enough that pretty much everyone in earshot turned to the scene I had just created, "hey pal, I don't know how you think that talking to anyone like that is appropriate, but I suggest you stop." The little old gently caress (he was easily six or eight inches shorter than I am) turned to me and told me to mind my own business and that he can talk to his wife however he wants. At this point I snapped at him, "maybe not, but you have no business being an abusive piece of poo poo to anyone, much less your wife." At this point, I took a handful of change out of my pocket, threw it on the floor and said, "if being late is such a big deal to you, here's some change for you to take the bus home, you rear end in a top hat!", then I turned and walked away.

I don't know; maybe I was too much of an rear end in a top hat toward the guy...I certainly hope he didn't take it out on his wife later on. But at the same time that I feel bad about it, I hope that in some way that guy's poor wife saw that she doesn't have to put up with that kind of reprehensible behaviour, and I still think I did the right thing at the end of the day. Plus, the last few days have been pretty frustrating for me; as awful as it sounds, it kind of felt good to take it out on something.

Eh, I deal with that kind of poo poo on a weekly basis because of my job. I have no problem telling abusive assholes to check themselves and threaten police action if they don't knock it off. Lots of times I do get the police involved and they end up going to jail because assholes like that usually can't keep their dumb mouth shut, even with the cops right in front of them. Serves them right, and I'm happy to help them out the door.
