At my work we did some thermal shocking of several small cheap Pyrex bowls from Walmart where we put them in a hot oven and then tossed them into an icewater bath. I don't remember what temperature the oven was at (maybe 70C), but none of them shattered after repeated tests. If they were scuffed, scratched, and well used the results may have been different, but whatever processing they do to the glass seems to work pretty well.

Betting on molten potassium salt soak, but I may be completely off track with that.

It's like 85 here already.

So I'm cleaning the garage and finishing a woodworking project I started like a month ago. All that was left was gluing it up, but I was lazy. And it's just a little box thing to hold stuff in the bathroom, like toothbrush,comb, mouthwash, etc. Had a bunch of walnut scrap, so why not.

At the rate of the last race, it's basically stay in the race, win points .

Also pretty pumped for Sauber. Everyone seemed pretty surprised that Nasr was hanging in there. Also LOL at Hamilton going WOT into the front straight after the beginning clusterfuck while everyone else was just chilling.

I may do more than a cursory glance at the standings / asking my roommie how the races went this season. Is DRS still a thing this season? I didn't see any mention of it that I can recall.

Was turned onto this work-in-progress game that's basically a "Car Company Tycoon" where you can design individual cars. There's some pretty awesome scenarios e.g.




It runs like absolute poo poo for having not-awesome-at-this-stage graphics, but just the engine building aspect is enough to still be fun despite this.

Today my wife and I went through our finances and she discovered that I still smoke (granted, it's an e-cig so it's way cheaper than actually smoking, but still) so I'm in some hot water. Since we're trying to minimize the poo poo we bring with us to wherever we move, I'm finally getting around to listing all of my intact Lego kits on eBay. I still have the box and instructions for the original Slave I from 2000, and I'll be listing my original AT-AT with instructions but no box later.

At first I wanted to keep them for my kids, but then I realized that I would go nuts if they took them apart and didn't play with them like I did: leaving them intact and in perfect condition because I've been a sperg all my life. Luckily, some middle-aged super-sperg will buy them from me though, so that's convenient :v:.

I am going to smack the poo poo out of you for smoking.

Actually I just quit about .... 6-8 months ago? The biggest bitch is breaking the actual habit. I smoked a ton when I drove and when I was at work. The first 3 days after quitting are the worst, but thats the nicotine getting out of your system. Then its habits that need to be broken. For me, it was just driving, at work on the switching lead, and drinking. I quit drinking for a while just to help. I used to chew straws while driving and at work.

Eventually I just broke the habits, and now I am smoke free. The smell of smoke actually makes me gag slightly, so I am hoping that I trained my brain to find it the foulest thing on earth.

Now to give up soda........

FAT32 SHAMER
Aug 16, 2012



I was able to give up soda mostly because I realized how much loving money I spent on it every week. I still have 1-2 a week instead of 2-3 a day, but I got a KleenKanteen for Earth Day from work so Ive been drinking about ten 500ml bottles of water a day for the last two months.

She never noticed the vaping because a 300ml bottle of juice lasts like two months and it's only $38. What set off the red flag was me buying a new mod since my old one broke and that was around $70. The old one lasted about 2 years though :v:. Now she gets why I always smell like wintergreen :v:
