I got a Wahl trimmer a couple months back that works pretty drat well. Came with a full charge that I got three full trims out of before I ever plugged it in. I keep a full beard just cause I hate the way my face looks clean shaven (or even just a vandyke), I weep whenever I have to shave it for job hunting or whatever.

My real reason for qutting the other day was to help me ease out of smoking because my lungs hurt so loving bad, but I always want to smoke when I drink. Had absolutely no idea my body hit that physical point. Sure, some could argue that socially or emotionally there were signs that I need to be careful but it was always the old well I really like it but I don't *need* it so we're all good.

I have three flaws people will find out, being the car guy, vintage safety razor guy (gems se and gillette old open combs), vaping guy. Although I don't really talk about them, or talk much any more at all anyway. But anyone not interested in those topics will be bored shitless by typical enthusiasts. The old razors is because my beard is thick and wiry and trashes electric or cart blades way too quick. Speaking of vaping, get help 13", you shouldn't go through alcohol withdrawals without help. I know I'm not looking forward to it, next week I'll have no cash at all and will probably be going through the same thing, that's when I'm expecting to be at my worse regarding depression. Doing that and quitting nic is going to be so hosed. I was vaping last year though have gone back to smoking because I don't care if I die anyway, but when I have no cigs either at least I've at least got lots of vaping juice and gear to use while going off the booze. Also I have some snus. If vaping didn't work out for you maybe try snus, as it gives you nic and it's a bit hard to drink and have snus in your mouth at the same time. But get help for the DT and hallucinations. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Dec 12, 2014 |

Welp. I may have hosed up. Skip to the bottom if you don't want to read all of the  Backstory: I'm bringing my poor unused Prelude out of driveway ornament status to use in the winter, since I never got off my rear end and put my truck back together and now it's cold and lovely out. The tires are hilariously poo poo (I finally got around to checking the date codes - two of them are from loving 1998  ) and they are summers to boot. So, I found a set of not completely awful 4x100 14" alloys on Craigslist nearby with "holding air" tires for $75, which I picked up and swapped on this past Saturday. I ordered a nice set of new snow tires from Tirerack the same day (which arrived yesterday). The plan was, I drive the car one time (carefully) on the junk tires straight to the tire shop (5 miles tops), with the new ones all set to go on, most likely this coming Saturday. No way was I going to fit 4 wheels with tires, plus the new tires, in the car at once.Well, that plan got all hosed up, because this morning when I got to work in my BMW and went to put it into "park"...it wouldn't go into park. The selector would just hit a wall and refuse to go home. Of course, the keys won't come out when it's not in park - meaning, I had no choice but to leave it unlocked with the keys in the ignition all day. So, I figured I'd grab the spare set and manually lock it with that, and drive it around (avoiding pretty much everywhere that isn't my safe work parking lot and my house) until I can get it looked at. Well guess what else (I found out today) won't unlock unless the car is in park? The loving fuel door  and I'm down to less than 1/4 of a tank, which I'll need to get across town to the indy mech I go to when something needs to be done RIGHT NOW and I don't have the time to look at it. And he can't look at it until next Thursday.What all this means is, I have to drive the Prelude NOW, poo poo tires and all, instead of waiting until I can get the new tires installed. I took the car on a short (10 mile) shakedown run at speeds up to probably 50 mph just to make sure there wouldn't be any surprises tomorrow morning. Sure enough, there was a rhythmic, lumpy feeling that felt like a very low / flat tire (although all of them are fully aired up). After about a mile, the transmission "S3" light started flashing on the dash, which usually points to VSS problems (flaky speedo, no cruise, whatever), so I wasn't terribly worried about it. Aside from that, it was uneventful and I got back without incident. As I was walking inside, I turned around to look at it, and noticed that something seemed "off". Hmm, why does the front wheel look different from the rear??  I then looked at the tire sizes...Left front: Dunlop 185/60/14 Left rear: Michelin 195/70/14  OK, lets look at the other side...Right front: Sumitomo 185/65/14 Right rear: Michelin 195/70/14 tl;dr  I just drove 10 miles with two different size tires on the front wheels. I just got done swapping all four wheels around so at least the matched ones are now up front, but is there a chance the transmission is hosed up now? Online tire calculators put the diameter difference between a 185/65 and a 185/60 at 2.2%. I took it for another spin after getting the matching tires up front, and the lumpy / flat tire sensation is still there, although no "S3" light this time.Kind of pissed at myself for not checking / catching this when I was putting them on before. I saw that they were mismatched, but I had assumed that they were at least the same sizes. I know it's somewhat common (although bad practice) to mix brands, but who the gently caress runs 3 goddamn different tire sizes at the same time?

The second kind of foodie is what predominantly populates GWS; the "holier-than-thou" variety. You know, the type who looks on in horror because you use something other than heirloom tomatoes in your ragu, and how dare you cut my onion with anything over than a rare santoku knife forged by real, live samurai warriors high in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture and handled with the bones of a Chinese man and furthermore I am a better cook because I just spent $4000 on a sous vide machine I KNOW WHAT A GOOD STEAK SHOULD LOOK LIKE HOW DARE YOU SERVE ME THIS, THIS...PAN-COOKED STEAK?! Then there is the kind of foodie I hope I am...the kind who is willing to try new things, new ingredients and new ideas, but still isn't above microwaving a frozen burrito from time to time.

Front wheel drive cars still have a differential, most of them open, all you did was turn one side a little quicker for a while. 185/65 is 73.73 inches in circumfrence, 185/60 is 71.44. That means at 60mph, the larger tire is traveling at 71.61 RPM, the smaller tire at 73.9 RPM, a difference of 2.3 RPM, or roughly 1 rotation every 26 seconds. Not exactly fast enough to melt spider gears or cook gear oil. The only real problem comes when you have a locked or limited slip diff. I don't know if a prelude is new enough for it, but it might use the ABS sensors for traction control or cruise control, in which case it was picking up the speed difference from missmatched numbers. As for this: quote:Kind of pissed at myself for not checking / catching this when I was putting them on before. I saw that they were mismatched, but I had assumed that they were at least the same sizes. I know it's somewhat common (although bad practice) to mix brands, but who the gently caress runs 3 goddamn different tire sizes at the same time? Never look at the tires of any 10 year old vehicle in the mall parking lot. At least non-radials are dead and gone, so there's no worry of the guy next to you running that missmatched combo.

Most tire failures fizzle rather than bang. Even when you see debris all over the loving place, it was probably just 10 miles of "cachunk cachunk cachunk" rather than a motorcyclist destroying explosion and cars flipping end over end.

Powershift posted:Front wheel drive cars still have a differential, most of them open, all you did was turn one side a little quicker for a while. Looking at it like that, it looks like there was no harm done. It's definitely an open diff so there's that. Guess I kind of freaked out over nothing.
