I really need to get a spare key made for my car. I locked my only copy inside the car earlier and had to get the local pop-a-lock equivalent to open it up. He stuck some tube thing with a squeeze bulb on one end and a hook on the other in between the window and rubber seal. It only took him several seconds and $45 to get the car open. RIP money

Mid 50's and sunny in Seattle today. This has been the mildest winter in my memory. Pulled the starter from the M Coupe this morning and dropped it at the shop on the way to work, they suspect a worn drive clutch.

They just hired on another manager to our shop that has been loosing money and employees (voluntarily) at a pretty consistent rate over the last year.. We now have 4 managers, including the district manager, per 4 employees who are left at our shop. And the only experience with cars the new guy has is working at discount tire. Like thought an oil change service reminder light ment the car was out of oil today. Im excited to see where they are going with this.

NERD POST There's a board game called Formula D that we carry (or used to) and when we checked the last time we sold it it'd been like a year and I was like "YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THE D STANDS FOR DEMEROL." and as nobody else is into cars or watches RCR I was deemed a comedic GENIUS.

Pre exam jitters are also easily handled by the campus bar. Just did the toughest exam for a course and I felt I did wonderful, I guess we'll see when the marks come back, but a drink and a nice meal before really helped relax.

How the gently caress did I sleep until 9pm  - noticed work tried to call me a few times too. gently caress that, it's been sleeting for most of the day (I think anyway - I woke up to it hitting my window several times through the day).Super Aggro Crag posted:Hey STR here is 1/4 of the back feed to the MDF for 1/4 of the building. At least you're not dealing with a finished residential house built by monkeys that were better at flinging poo. Boaz MacPhereson posted:Laundry chat: My limiting factor is white socks. I'm usually on a two week cycle. I used to despise sorting socks after laundry day, but I enacted a new strategy a while back that seems to have helped. Threw away all my old socks (minus dedicated dress socks) then bought 2 packs of black socks and a pack of white socks. Match white to white and black to black. No more hunting for a mate for some random mid-length white sock again. Smartest thing I've done in a long time. I did that a few years ago. Then had to buy more white ones as the original ones wore out. Different brand. .... rinse, repeat, I now have 3 kinds of white socks again. At least two are the same brand, but have a different color logo on them. But that second set is starting to wear out again. Probably going to do the same thing again before summer. Slow is Fast posted:My father picked up one of these to try and keep in his mustang since he didn't want to carry a full cable set.

RIP money My car likes to occasionally lock the doors as soon as I get out... but only if the engine is running.  Gets annoying when you're a delivery driver, moreso when you usually leave your phone in the car while going up to a customer's door. The first couple of times I had OnStar and was able to call them and get them to unlock the car remotely, the third time I'd gotten into the habit of rolling down the window a bit anytime I got out and planned to leave it idling.I now keep a cheap hardware store copy in my wallet - mainly because it's a flat key, instead of one with a plastic head (there's no chip in the key for my car, so it works to start it too, if I can't find the 4 keys I already have). A good friend of mine is a locksmith, he ran across someone at Target that was trying to get into their car. He got them in, guy then said he had no cash on him, but here, there's $100 left on this prepaid American Express. ..... it was a stolen Amex Gold.  Rabble posted:Mercedes is finally getting into the Goatse market... But what's the front look like?  Fucknag posted:I had midterms today, finished the Statics test in half an hour, Physics 2 in just over an hour. That happens to me with drat near every exam I take. Except for science stuff.  The most memorable is when I had taken a bunch of Adderall the night before an exam, studied all night with some breaks, went to campus at 5am, studied my rear end off, had the test at 8:00, walked out at 8:20, and I was the only person to get a 100. On the final, it was the same, except I was the 2nd person out. The instructor actually asked if I had somehow snuck notes in or figured out the answer key the first time it happened. I told her I stayed up all night studying (truth), and I had guessed on several questions. I told her what mark I always make on a test if I can't figure it out immediately and need to come back to it, and pointed out those marks to her - and I'm usually able to rule out some of the answers based on the rest of the exam when I come back to those questions. My first exam saw me get a 73, so I can see why she'd be going , though I got a 95 on the second. Four exams total in that class, plus a handful of papers (every paper got an A).Super Aggro Crag posted:Watching Paul McCartney jam with the dudes from Nirvana on Palladia right now. loving SICK. Palladia and Comedy Central are the only reasons I keep cable. Fucknag posted:I go to a community college, the only on campus food anything is loving Nature's Table. The community college I got the most hours at has a Subway in the basement of the main building. They had an actual cafeteria at one time with a decent selection, but that was a long, long time ago. The other community college I went to had a grill that was open most of the day, and a very small cafeteria open for lunch. Going to UNT was a bit of a shock - 7 or 8 cafeterias, one of them open until 2am on weekdays, 2 of them open all day, and they had an on-call shuttle that would take you anywhere on campus (and slightly off campus - bunch of bars were just off the east side of campus) until 2am as well. I lost count of how many times I'd get a ride back from the bars to that cafeteria, then either walk back to my dorm or get a ride back. Bajaha posted:Pre exam jitters are also easily handled by the campus bar. Never seen a bar on any campus myself, but I know for a fact that a good chunk of the students in one class I had at UNT were at least buzzed before every exam (the entire classroom smelled like alcohol on those days, and in a room with nearly 300 seats...)

I was always a good test taker, my Statics final exam was scheduled for 8 hours, I finished first in just under 5. It was worth 1300 points and I got 1270. I messed up something on Mohr's circle if memory serves. I know I still have the test somewhere, but I took it 25 years ago. Jesus I'm getting old. We just had the snowiest February on record here in Denver, but the forecast says sunny and 50's/60's for as far as they can predict. Looking forward to a break from snow, this last week and a half has had moments of the worst road conditions I've ever driven. And once again i'm motivated to take a few steps forward on my car project. Too cold otherwise.

I have been charged with refurbing my mother's old laptop to give to sort of nephew in-law to use for his school work as his parents are too busy buying poo poo for their new baby to care about the son they already have. It's a Win7 machine, like 6 years old I think. Best way to wipe it clean?

Rhyno posted:Not seeing anything. There's a bunch of dry adhesive so it probably fell off. Oh, that makes it worse then. Hope the hard drive never dies! Does it have a system recovery partition? Often you'll be able to press F-something to get to system recovery, then re-image the factory loadout onto it. Then you can prune the preinstalled shovelware. If it doesn't have the recovery partition, I guess you're stuck with manually removing everything and scanning it with your favorite antivirus/antimalware/etc tools. Unless there's a tool for bulk uninstalling that I'm not aware of.
