Me and my roommates decided to each hide an Easter Egg in the house filled with money and items. I just out a $1 bill inside and filled it to the brim with glitter. And I "hid" it in the 1st floor bathroom where only one of us gets ready in the morning.

A buddy of mine just got a new iPhone (I guess it's the 6 plus?) and got into a hot tub with it in his pocket. Now it's junk. A month before that he had one in his pocket and leaned too hard against a pool table and bent it, turning it to garbage.

Friar Zucchini posted:So here's an interesting bit from the '15 Focus owner's manual, with the base 2.0 N/A engine: "Premium unleaded gas will provide improved performance and is recommended for severe duty usage, for example a fully loaded vehicle." I figured that was more of a thing in higher-end cars where you're lucky they even allow regular gas for that particular engine, or more sophisticated engines like the 1.0 Ecoboost... but this is just a conventional four-banger compact. Weird. The aussie ford 4l i6 is like that. It's made to work on 91ron to keep everybody happy, but if you put in 95ron or 98ron you get a little bit more power and torque, something like 5kW and 15ft/lb. Nothing new about that motor, just a fancy head on an old block. All to do with knock sensors and coil on plug spark control

I've seen a few setups recently with nesting sliding windows that could make for a pretty awesome master bedroom and upstairs landing. I'm about the same distance from the water as you too

The amount of broken iPhones and latest Samsung and LGs I see with totally hosed screens hurts my heart. I just recently upgraded to an LG G3 after having a terrible phone for years. I baby the crap out of it because I'm terrified of breaking it and having to deal with it for another five or six years before I can afford to upgrade. E:  FWIW, I keep it in an otterbox case. A bit big, but rubbery and grippy.

You won't have to worry about that on the G3.. the digitizer is part of the glass. If it cracks, no more touchscreen. tl;dr keep it in a case.

I get made fun of for having an "out dated" phone. Its a droid xt907 and you know what, the drat thing takes a licking and keeps on ticking. gently caress it, I hate getting a new phone then trying to relearn all the drat settings and poo poo. Plus it was free But I am always a generation or 10 behind every one else when it comes to phones. Also part of the Fast7 crew now. God drat, after 4 that poo poo got pretty awesome. Its just a good ol fashion shoot em up and drive fast movie. The ending was a little sad though

I have an upgrade every ten months and I pay $100 less than two year contract pricing (so my 64GB 6+ was $299 not $399 and my 32GB 5S was $199 instead of $299) then I sell them for whatever the unlocked rate is and I make money on it. plus a new screen is $120 which isn't a whole lot of money

The touchscreen on my ancient (4 years since release) droid 3 keeps wigging the gently caress out and making me want to smash it, but fortunately I have a keyboard I can type on even when it acts up  I am too rough on my phones to pay real money for them, I break one of these about every 8-10 months or so and buy another on ebay for 50 dollars. I broke a lot more years ago but I haven't had a phone fall off the roof since I finished reshingling it so the rate of destruction has gone down.

I figured my ~8 or 9 year old TV would let go before anything else in the house - I mean, the backlight is purple when you first turn it on now, and takes several minutes to get bright enough to really watch it. The backlight is very tired on mine (an earlier Toshiba 32" LCD - $500 when I got it, on sale at that), and mine is old enough that it's about 5" thick and weighs at least 25 pounds. Nope. Stepdad's 6 or 7 year old Samsung keeps going dark at random. If you turn it off and on it'll be fine for a bit, then goes dark after a random amount of time. Sometimes makes a crackling noise when it's turned on. Either way, sound keeps working, and if you shine a bright flashlight at the LCD, you can sort of see the picture. When the backlight works, it has a beautiful picture, but it goes completely dark at random. Backlight on mine works fine once it's been on for a few minutes, it just locks up and goes blank (with the backlight still on) if it's on more than a few hours, and has to be unplugged to get it to respond again (sometimes it'll shut off if you hit the power button on the remote, but it takes about 10 seconds to do so - turns back on again like nothing was ever wrong if you wait a minute after that though). So I'm guessing mine has a power supply issue. Mine had this issue for about 3 years though, and hasn't gotten any worse. Looks like I get to figure out how to replace an inverter.  Or let him buy a new one, then I fix it and toss it in my room. Picture quality is better than my Toshiba, but both are 32" 720p. His is a lot thinner though, and weighs a hell of a lot less..

Finallyyyyyyyyyyy got around to hitting up the heritage motor museum the other day. Excuse the photo quality, I dropped my phone a million times and forgot to take a proper camera. :/ The concept XJ220  Classic E type.  Batshit track E with widebody and side exits... <3  Mini mobility scooter  Also what surprised me was the amount of cars that Rover put together in the 50s/60s that were powered by a gas turbine engine. There were 3 in the museum. 3. I know other manufacturers played with the idea but there was generally just the one model. Rover put out 3? It was weird. This BRM was entered in Le Mans...  quote:The first test runs were at the MIRA track in April 1963, driven by Graham Hill who described it thus, Youre sitting in this thing that you might call a motor car and the next minute it sounds as if youve got a 707 just behind you, about to suck you up and devour you like an enormous monster. Also found my new favourite car. 1953 Allard P2 Safari station wagon. 6 seats, about half a mile long, swoopy arches, WOOD, rear facing seats in the back and a roof that looks like a convertible but it's just a leather coating over the roof?! It's so beautifully weird and looked amazing in green. Only 10 were ever made, only 4 are still around and there's a white one for sale for 50k. I need 50k. It's just so cool in person. The ultimate cruiser

Tried to open up my door panel to fix my broken latch, surprisingly hard to do when, y'know, you can't open the door to unhook the panel clips. Said gently caress it, made an insurance claim. Pretty sure they're going to total my car. $2100 repair, and blue book value is $2250 in "Fair" condition. I think the existing body repairs and hail damage will drop the value of the car another few hundred.  But, that means I get the chance to buy a new toy.  My poor girlfriend does not understand why I'm interested in cars like the Focus ST. Y'all know how it is with hot hatches...
