Ugh, this week is going to suck. Waking up at 5am for the next few days so I can get cleaned up, meet up with my dad by 6:30, and then make the commute to get to class by 8. Kill me now  e: Not saying I hate commuting with my dad, but gently caress waking up this early all week. I have a hard enough time waking up at 7 to get ready for work on a normal day, this poo poo basically means i have to waste the next few days doing nothing but sleeping and doing classwork

Spent all weekend shoveling the snow into one GIANT mound so my roommates can build a snow fort ilon their vacation. If it's as big as it looks like it will be we might just throw a kegger.

Hooked up a 12v 1amp charger and a light turned on, but in 4 hours the level still showed low. Looks like the original was 12v @2.1 amps. yes you can. On most at least. Assuming you didn't fry anything when letting out the blue smoke. The one I used for roadside service would charge off a battery while the battery itself charged.

The new Danko Jones album is really good IMO. Sure, it's more of the same, but I'm ok with that.

These are amazing: http://autoweek.com/article/classic-ads/ay-mi-carro-classic-southern-california-junkyard-ads-el-pulpo I'm moving to SoCal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzMHT5AkyC0 quote:In the "Exploding Car" ad, El Pulpo begins his spiel when his G-body Buick Regal gets taken out by what appears to be a drone strike. Is El Pulpo in Yemen or North Waziristan, or is he in the Wilmington Pick Your Part parking lot? We can't say, but we're pretty sure the car-alarm triggered by the explosion wasn't scripted.

some texas redneck posted:I was so tired when I got home last night that I had... 3 beers. Compared to my usual ~12. Wound up having one Mike's Harder Lemonade last night (16oz @ 8%, so it's like two normal beers) and a Librium. For the second time this year (yesterday being the first), I woke up before 3pm. Woke up pretty sweaty, but not shaky in the least. I'm sure that'll change at some point today since Librium has a really long half life, but I think I have enough left to actually do a full detox. And I have a Naltrexone script for the cravings. I'm gonna try to get this loving monkey off my back for good.

My jump pack started not taking a charge through the 240v mains GPO adapter/wall wart transformer (it wasn't a transformer fault but the internal input charger regulator I think), so I just started charging it with a regular car battery charger and it works fine.

It's been starting to jump all over the place again; I've been struggling to ever get it below 100 (it was dead on 100 when I woke up today, 158 after exercising yesterday, though that could have been a bad strip.. it was 92 about 30 minutes later). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Feb 10, 2015 |

Fully loaded 20' van with the pig on a trailer behind it. 6.5 mpg, and it was hell getting up the hills. But when I moved out there I used Penske, same config only with a 6.0L GMC. 8.8 mpg and I flew.

So today a few engineers got a taste of their own medicine. Apparently this lady's brand new hybrid Toyota Highlander has been shutting down/losing power randomly and no one can figure out why, so Toyota flew a few of their engineers out from Japan to help out. Apparently they were pretty irritated with how difficult it was to pull the wiring harness, and are a tad upset about having to put it back in.

Ok, I gotta ask this, what is the deal with people liking to dick with old computer equipment? I can understand cars, old stereos, and other classic things. But for some reason obsolete computers hold no appeal to me. Is it for running old games and software?

I have a 15-year-old laptop I've been (slowly) playing with, part of it is nostalgia (aw yeah, Windows 98!) and part of it is just tinkering to tinker.

Someone here or in one of the other threads mentioned picking up this set of pliers for screw removal: http://goo.gl/iZgngx (Amazon link) I should have guessed, being sold by seller "JAPAN SHOP NINJA," but I really didn't think about it: "Neji-saurus"  "MAXIMIZES THE FRICTION"   "Just grip and turn!"

I could see old computers being rarer since most people just junked them when the new one came along. I used to upgrade every six months before I was married, so I just have the mind set why would you want a old machine.

For one thing, that Mac is probably still actually working. Damned things were brick outhouses. I have a Mac SE (looks like that SE/30, but only has a 68000 rather than the 68030 processor), and it still runs like a champ. Got an external hard drive and everything. I think it has System 6 on the HDD.

drat, this day ended lovely for me. It started with (unintentional) real life spintires, then some work for granddad 1(mothers father) (just cutting down some trees with him), then grandmother 1 (mothers mother) comes down, and tells us that grandfather 2 (fathers father) has crashed into another car(mothers brother(the local mechanic) called and told her, because he was worried), so that was.. unexpected, but not choking news(long story short, he has crashed it down a very steep hill (getting serious air) tipped over 50%(1) of the statues in the nearest bigger city, crashed into his and grandmother 2(fathers mother)s house and a bunch of other things all in all ~6 times over the last 10 years) but he didn't get hurt.. He has now given up driving for good and is pretty serious about it. I knew it wasn't safe to have him driving, but this will make life so much harder for them because they live pretty isolated from anything but a small grocery shop (1,5 km away or so), but luckily other grandparents live literately 300 m down the road, and they are very good friends. Anyways if you have been reading until here you can get some pics of a smashed Opel Vectra

I sold someone my sofa the other day. he was 7 loving hours late, and showed up with a suburban. aaannnnd he left a bunch of fast food trash in the driveway when he left. Someone else was going to do some bartering for my giant rear end kayak. he said he wanted to wait for a few other offers last minute. ookkaaaaaay. In that time period someone threw a wad of cash at me and took the boat. Guess dudes barter offers fell through because he started spamming the poo poo out of my email begging me to buy his poo poo. gently caress you dude, you jerked off and you lost out. Strike while the iron is hot, not piss warm.
