Not sure how shops work but the cheapest they can get the opener I want is $250 more than I just bought one for. Once it arrives they'll come out and take care of everything to clear up some valuable clearance. Now I need to talk to the local E30 shop and see when they want to do the order for lifts. Car stacking is getting closer! That's cool. Also if you get an underlift/jacking beam you can use a 4-post lift quite a lot like a 2-post lift and it's great for working on cars. You get the benefit of additional storage and the use for car repair.

My ski helmet headphones have a clip with a button and mic that I attach to the collar which works as play/pause or hold to make voice commands.

Mine too but they don't stop the alarm, just controls Spotify. I keep my phone in my inside jacket pocket too, but it's easy enough to reach in at a stoplight if you don't have to take off a glove to do it.

Ah jesus. One of my sister's friends just found out her daughter has a sister. Her boyfriend was cheating on her and impregnated another girl like 3 weeks after her. They broke up two years ago but she's flipping the gently caress out right now and it's both tragic and hilarious.

NitroSpazzz posted:Car stacking is getting closer! That's what I really need to do, I love where I live, I love the floor plan, I only hate that I can't store 3 cars in the 2 car garage. If I could pop the top of the garage maybe 3 feet max, I could stack cars. I could also have enough room to put a second toilet out there. Third car, more storage, and second toilet are the only things this place needs to be perfect for me.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:[...] Wow, I had that same truck, brings back memories seeing that. I loved that thing and had a t-shirt with a similar Ford-based monster truck on it. I think I was ~ 8 or 9. I just had a somewhat odd troubleshooting experience with headlights on my Fit. First noticed the right low beam was out last Wednesday and made a note to get a new set. Was clearing snow off the car on Thursday with lights on, and I bumped the headlight housing (the one with the dead low beam) and it came back on. Scratched my head and figured there was probably a bad connection. Snow kept me home-bound and I didn't get to actually figuring things out until Sunday. To isolate the issue, I swapped the bad bulb with the good one from the other side, and all of a sudden both bulbs don't work (low beam only). High beams work fine throughout this. Checked voltage at the pigtail and was getting good -12v reading (positively grounded headlights). Finally just swapped fresh bulbs in today, and both are working. I think they were the originals, so I'm not surprised to have them going out after ~40k miles, but I am surprised that gingerly handling the old (but still working) bulb when swapping between sides caused it to go bad, and that I was temporarily able to get the one that was out to work by tapping the headlight housing. Just weird.

Dumb Australian Government poo poo #1561616513115 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-10/abbott-government-reinstating-241-billion-in-car-industry-fund/6292868 When the Federal Liberal (Conservative) Government came in about 20 months ago they said they will stop hand outs to the car companies for keeping plants open in Australia. Soon afterwards both Holden and Toyota were going to close their shops in 2017 (Ford had already decided before the Liberals got in to close in 2016). The Federal Libs, now understanding that they are getting not well liked in the community (especially in the states where the car plants are), now want to throw $1 billion at the car companies, even though they are still going to close

That's okay, Friday night some chick we knew from middle school randomly turned up at the bar and is now smoking hot. She was chatting me up for a few hours until my other friend showed up, then followed him around the rest of the night. Then Saturday some friends we were drinking with invited a chick to come out and were trying to hook me up with her. She fixated on a different friend almost immediately and followed him around for the rest of the night. It's like right when I get the chance Cupid shoots them in the rear end with his stupid arrow and they accidentally look at the wrong person

I'm so paranoid about girls thinking I'm staring at them if they catch me looking at them at all, that even if I glance over and they happen to be looking at me I'll whip my head back around at sonic speed. Which probably has the opposite effect than intended, but I haven't been able to break the habit for over ten years so I'm probably screwed. Also I can carry on casual conversation just fine but I can never bring myself to ask them out, too afraid they'll think badly of me/think I only ever wanted to get in their pants. Which absolutely isn't true, but...

I have a similar problem; my great grandmother drilled into me as a small child that it's not polite to stare to the point where I have a hard time maintaining eye contact when talking with people. It's not that I don't want to look people in the eyes, it's just that my gramma made me neurotic about it.

See I was taught by my father that it is imperative to make eye contact while shaking hands and during conversation. Due to this I have developed the ability to stare lecherously using only my peripheral vision.

Hey Chat Thread, what mobile phone should I get? My Samsung Galaxy S2 is over three years old and getting really tired, and with some bonuses I'm getting this month (woo hoo Short Term Incentive plan!) I've decided to just say stuff it and get another one. My phone service is through my ISP and far, far cheaper than I could ever get on a phone-company contract, so I just buy phones outright. I'm tossing up right now between the Samsung Galaxy S5, and the LG Google Nexus 5. I use it exactly the same as everyone else uses their phone; reading forums, playing games on the shitter and listening to podcasts on the train on the way in. They're within 10% of each other as far as price goes, with the Samsung being more expensive. I'm leaning towards the Nexus but that's kind of only "because reasons" and not anything concrete.

Is there a reason you're looking at phones from last year? Can you even get a new Nexus 5?

mariooncrack posted:Is there a reason you're looking at phones from last year? Can you even get a new Nexus 5? Well, I can probably afford a brand new phone, but I find it difficult to justify an $800 purchase when I can get one that works perfectly well and infinitely better than what I have for around $450. The supplier I'm looking at has both of them listed as in stock, with 3-5 day shipping times. The Nexus 6 seems to be around 10% better than the 5, which makes the 80%+ price difference pretty silly. Again, this is just to me, for nebulous reasons that are entirely due to my having grown up poor and being generally stubborn.

The supplier I'm looking at has both of them listed as in stock, with 3-5 day shipping times. I imagine that the Nexus 5 will get one more major update in the fall but that's it. I can't imagine the S5 will have much longer either. The main complaint of the Nexus 5 is battery life. Nexus phones are not very good at battery. I don't own one personally so I can't speak to it. If you plan to root and use a custom ROM, go for the Nexus 5. If you're going to keep it stock, probably go with the S5. Another phone to consider is the OnePlus One. I own it and I love it. Some people poo poo upon the phone and the selling of the phone was kind of lovely. You can buy them any Tuesday though now.

The supplier I'm looking at has both of them listed as in stock, with 3-5 day shipping times. I have a Nexus 6; see my post ITT about my thoughts on the device so far. In spite of its flaws, it's a pretty impressive piece of kit. As for the OnePlus One, my brother and his wife both have them and they seem very happy with their phones - if price is an important consideration I would say it's about the best value for money that you can get in a phone these days. Also, if you can hold out for a couple of months, the Galaxy S6 should be on sale by then. Its design is a little polarising (glass front and back, non-replaceable battery and no SD card slot I think) but I think it's a pretty slick device nonetheless.

If you have a class in common it's not a big deal to friend her, surely? Better to knock that poo poo out and just ask to go grab dinner or a drink or something though and don't contemplate your actions for a few weeks collecting goon advice before you do it.
