Those cars are so insanely loose, and packed so tightly. Takes tremendous nuts to drive like that.

People make fun of NASCAR, but it takes a lot of talent to dial in the cars and then drive them on the edge for that long.

My phone (5c) has decided that keeping accurate time is beneath it. I thought it was a little weird when my only alarm went off twice this morning, and now it is about an hour and ten minutes slow, but it'll randomly lose several minutes occasionally or gain them back.

Ugh I do not want to replace this bastard.

You can't anymore. They were a super limited run on the Hoonigan site and at Formula Drift Long Beach. I managed to snag some off their shop Friday but they're not up for sale now. I'll get some pics of the other ones in a bit, they're pretty amusing :v:

Plus a bonus brushed chrome censor bar logo that came with the pack and bonus JUST AIN'T CARE decal that they threw in during shipping.

I'm with nTelos, which is a Virginia based company that has their own towers but also piggybacks off of other provider's towers, mostly Verizon.

I tried setting the time to manual as well and now it won't advance the time forward at all unless the screen is unlocked, so it just keeps falling farther behind.

My laptop decided to start doing this poo poo today. Time has jumped back and forth a few times between time zones so I don't know wtf is going on. Annoying but not as bad as a phone if you're using it as an alarm clock.

drat, after yesterday I am fully in love with my cheap 3M respirator. I was mixing bondo and couldn't detect a whiff of it through the respirator. It's also really nice while sanding off ancient paint which may have significant quantities of lead...

The Midget is getting a lot closer to paint-ready. After a few hours with a stud welder & slide hammer plus a hammer/dolly set, even the horrible wheel-arch dent is starting to come out a little. The rear end looks pretty decent now... as for the wheel arch, I'm just aiming to get it close, smooth it a little with some body filler, and then bank on the fact that you can't see both sides of the car at the same time :v:

This is the weirdest thing. I'm guessing it's getting some sort of time information from the cell network, akin to NTP. What version of iOS are you running? Do you normally have GPS turned on or off?

I could happily sit and watch NASCAR, gently caress it's a series I want to like but the TV coverage is so godawful I just can't. I'll put it on occasionally but you only get to see a few minutes of the race inbetween adverts, filler pieces, more adverts etc. and I'll turn it off again before the race is even half done.

And before anybody says it I'm not crossing the Atlantic to go see it in person.

I'm running iOS 8.2, and generally have my GPS turned off. Apparently this was an issue people were experiencing with their 5s and 5Cs a couple years ago but I've been using this one for nearly a year now and haven't had this problem before.

I hope it fixes itself soon, but it's been doing a few other weird things like the screen randomly locks itself while I'm using the phone and earlier when I turned on the flashlight nothing happened for 20 seconds or so.

So last night I went ahead and threw an application at Pizza Hut. For a corporate owned store in a very well off area.

One of my old managers sent me a text today saying he saw my application pop up. :tinfoil: He's in a franchise store in a middle income area (a store I've worked before, though briefly, and it's pretty close to home).

He's someone I really liked working with - he's checking with his boss to see if he can hire me back. There's a little bit of bad blood between myself and his boss (area manager), so my hopes aren't too high, but I did put in my 2 weeks notice, and worked the entire 2 weeks. A "good" day at the store I'm at now is $35, while a lovely day at his store is $40 (good would be more like $75-100).

After that draconian bullshit your current pizza-based employer laid on, good for you!

I bought a used mechanical keyboard from SA Mart awhile ago (This was my first mistake). The seller warned me that it would be dirty but holy poo poo I didn't expect it to be that dirty. I finally finished cleaning it out and I'm typing on it now. Probably will be giving it to my girlfriend in a few days.

Re: hand salsa: as far as I can tell, at least one of the previous regular users of my P71 never washed his goddamned hands, and had a habit of resting his arm on the passenger seat top, gripping the headrest. I know this because the grey fabric headrest was BROWN on that side. And leathery. Seriously gross. Fortunately, the cop upholstery is pretty hardy, and a good scrubbing with Simple Green cleaned it up. the steering wheel and driver's door panel and armrest were nasty, too.

One advantage of being a packrat is that when you have a falling-out with a roommate and he takes a bunch of your poo poo on his way out all that's obviously missing is a bunch of worthless broken crap that you should have recycled years ago anyway.
He raided my 'audio that came with cars I've bought' pile and got himself a pair of 3-way 6x9s manufactured during the capacitor plague and thus have blown crossovers and sound like poo poo, cheap single coil subs which are wired to the panel on the back of the box with bits of old extension cord, and an amp that only has one functioning channel.
One disadvantage of being a packrat is that everything else is a lot harder to inventory to see if anything else is missing.

My Samsung TV did something similar. There was an auto-dimming or auto-adjustment setting I had to turn off and then everything worked great.

It's not that, unfortunately; even hitting menu won't get it to light up. Sometimes it won't light up when it's first turned on, sometimes it flickers several times after being turned on. I'm pretty certain it's either a dying inverter or a cold solder joint on the inverter.

Darchangel posted:

Eh, I'm not thrilled about going back to Pizza Hut (particularly since I'll be losing direct deposit, and my hours will be capped at 30/week), but I've worked in that store before, and I consider the GM to be a good friend.

Cakefool posted:

Crack the case and trace the wiring/traces for the backlight, it could be as simple as a poor solder joint.

I plan on doing that. Though I've been bit by an inverter before, so if it's anything on the inverter board, the inverter gets replaced (and handled with non-conductive gloves; it stings pretty bad when the inverter bites you, and I know caps can hold a charge for a long time).
