I know the line flows, and I know the jets are clean. But the plug has nothing on it, and it never even tries to catch. Is there a trick to actually getting that bowl off without ruining it? Yea maybe the needle valve is stuck, taking that bolt out should leak a whole bowl of gas out, at least. Stupid question but is there a shutoff valve on the tank and is it turned on? e: nm, you said the line flows for the shutoff valve question.

My oncologist complemented me on my ability to survive radiation. i guess i am part cocroach. started a new cycle of radiation today, this time its high dose. I have exactly zero energy now. I have no idea how i am going to get trough this 3x per week the next 12 weeks. I feel like i am putting all the burden of raising our twin boys on the wife. i have spent what little i have of spark in me today to offload non-essential things in my life to others. I own three properties we rent out to mostly students, today i hired a managment firm to deal with it. i also hired a cleaning lady to help us out. I have also taken this first week of the cycle off work. in other news. LS7 came today, my brother are moving it to my dads farm (where our excuse for a shop is) and i think maybe the turbos should arrive shortly. maybe i can start cleaning up the B in the summer. oh, and my twins are kinda cool. they have just learned the effect of punching boys/men in the balls. Luckily they practice on each others.

The only reason I am packing this thing two days early is so I have a desk-like space to play Morrowind on. Kind of a weird thing to ask, and I refer to STR as he seems to be the most experienced at cheesing cellphone data: While I'm here at Bliss my phone has nearly no signal (sprint). It's an HTC M7. I do have I just have a few apps I want to download and set up, plus some other home automation things I have set that work only through my phone, as I was too lazy to set up things properly before being rushed on this deployment (they called me on a wednesday asking if I could leave the following monday).

Just reading this whole yes you still will stink you bomb weed...... I'm more WTF about the cop giving a poo poo about weed rather than the loving stolen car. FFS, weed is goddamn near harmless who the hell cares?!?!? It's loving dumb that I could *literally* take a walk not far from where I live, harvest as much wild weed as I wanted and be a criminal. I thought I had walked into someone's stash but I've since found out cannibas grows wild here and it's dead easy to find. Criminalisation makes zero sense anymore on any level. And frankly I tend to find weed smokers - even ones who don't give a gently caress about the legality - tend to be more considerate of non smokers.

I am to the point that I am "gently caress brick and mortar" and buy everything online. I really would patronize mom and pop shops but they are a dying breed if I can find a store that is selling what I want. It took 15 minutes to get someone at the sunglasses desk at the local academy sports then another 10 minute for them to find the brand and model I wanted. Don't EVEN get me started on self check out lanes at home depot and Lowes. gently caress those loving fucks. I was thiiiiiiiiis close to completely having a meltdown and showing my rear end when I was trying to buy some stuff that refused to register that didn't weigh enough.

Not..... quite in this case  Turns out that the cultivars for hemp production aren't the ones growing wild and it's been much more prevalent years ago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Valley_cannabis_infestation This time it looks like it's popping up in areas where they cant spray (National Parks)

It's my surface pro 3. I unfortunately can't seem to create a hotspot with it while still connected to WiFi - I'd need a USB wifi adapter that supports host mode to do that. I tried the reverse tether option, but the only way that works on Lollipop is to install the Xposed framework, but that's not supported on 5.0/5.1 through the OS. I'd have to install an alpha version of Xposed through the recovery bootloader, but the CM recovery I have only supports system update installs, not just normal package installs. It's crazy.

Kina E/N here, but I feel really off the last few days. Hours at work are short and I'm on a different machine doing e-beam welding instead of CMM. It's interesting work but it's not what I want to do with my life. I finished up all these projects over my 4 day weekend and I just feel such ennui about everything. I feel this longing and nostalgia and I have no idea what for. One phrase keeps coming into my head "I want to just go home". I am home. My wife is here, my cats are here, my whole life is here and just want to go home. I have no idea WTF is going on with me. I have been running more just to keep the depression at bay. I had really severe depression diagnosed about a decade ago, but I couldn't afford to keep going to therapy and pay for the meds (Wellbutrin) and I had to quit cold turkey. I found that the only thing that brings me up is exercise, and booze. I've had a pretty bad five year bout with alcoholism. I get hangovers within an hour of having a drink now, and I have no money for booze anymore. I spent my last nickel on parts for the miata's top and now I am so tapped out I have no idea how I'm gonna pay the bills this month. I guess I have to sell some bicycles again  I'll leave you with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJVQJ4-n_cA It's how I feel, even the notes describe my mood. I wish I had some wine. I guess I'll go to bed. Sorry to take your time guys, I feel so adrift

Because that assumes a lot about their logistics capabilities. If you have 20 retail employees, you might not have someone to write you up some software to interface whatever platform you're using for inventory. Since it's a small operation, you might not even have super accurate inventory anyway, and rely on hand-counts of the important stuff every once in awhile. There might not be an easily accessed database of what product is currently in-stock, and if it exists it might be in some old-rear end format that won't play with a web frontend very well. Basically, it's complicated, and you'd need to burn a lot of manpower integrating whatever system they use with whatever framework you want to hang your e-commerce site on, and a lot of them are probably past the point of that kind of thing being profitable. Especially when you only have a couple employees.

Find something new to take up your time, or find a new direction to go in. Hang in there you delicious box of tacos! Also, my feelings on racing sims so far: iRacing>Assetto Corsa. Mainly because I can see the loving track in iRacing, whereas in AC everything is so loving washed out in "sun reflections" all I see is big white areas in some corners with a vague rumble strip somewhere in the middle. Although I do love the way AC handles once I got used to the touchy braking, and the cars snarl and crackle and pop, like race cars should. I do hope it becomes more race-y soon though, because about all it's good for right now is hot lapping. And blowing that sun-blinded corner

Logistics capabilities isn't really the excuse it once was. IBM will happily sell you an inventory system that has all the same general features and based on the same enterprise quality software that the elephants like WalMart use, for a reasonable price and designed for businesses that really don't have their own in house IT or are slightly behind the technology curve. Pretty much a plug it in, boot it up, click a few buttons, and its up and running/ Check under their small and medium business offerings. I know of a few small start ups that are trying to hook up existing POS systems to an Android or iPhone app to help businesses manage inventory, see customer metrics, and do social media type advertising among other things. Its all intended to be automated, so the business owner gets a notification on the phone when some product is selling faster this week than normal and probably needs a reorder ahead of schedule.

It's going to be a long day but I can't wait! Too bad I can't sleep...

Well, first day of class was today. Went fine until I drove home. I figured "hey, it's 10pm, 635 won't be bad at all, I can avoid taking any toll roads!" .... 45 minutes later I had made it a whole 5 miles.  Lesson learned: never use 635, even late at night on a weeknight.For non-DFW goons, the section of I-635 between I-35E and US-75 has been under (re)construction for about 4 years to add tolled express lanes, and the toll lanes just wind up dumping you into the middle of the clusterfuck anyway.

Ft Bliss is a black hole for every mobile provider, but Sprint in particular is pretty terrible in El Paso. The best you might be able to do is bridge the wireless and wired adapters inside of Windows, then plug a cheap access point or repurposed router into your PC's ethernet port. Sounds backwards, but that's how I got a connection for my tablet, Xbox, phone, and laptop when I lived in dorms. Had to unplug it anytime I wasn't there, since setting up your own access point meant getting kicked out. I don't think you can do MAC spoofing on your phone (most phones for that matter) either. fake edit: I just realized you're using a Surface tablet. I really got nothin unless you can somehow get a USB 10/100 adapter to work on it, assuming it has full blown Windows 8 on it. I don't think it's nearly as easy to bridge two wireless adapters.Negromancer posted:I guess its not insane compared to street prices in other parts of the country, but prices here have always been super low so its more expensive than it would be from a dealer.

Thank gently caress, since I might be buying something that weighs half a gram (such as a washer), which is below what those scales can accurately weigh. Can't say I've ever seen one in Lowe's though - Lowe's, around here anyway, uses an in-house point of sale system, and the self checkouts generally expect an IBM or NCR backend.

Not to mention re-training, and paying for the software in the first place. The thing with small businesses is that they are small because they can't afford to be any bigger. You can drop $300 on a normal cash register that integrates into Quickbooks (and many other small business oriented software packages), and even has a barcode scanner. It'd take a bit of work, but that register will be able to use barcodes, and update inventory (via Quickbooks or whatever software they use). This is a stand alone register, not a PC based register, so there really wouldn't be much retraining beyond "hey, scan the barcodes instead of hand-keying everything" - and they're configurable to the point that you can lock out someone actually hand keying anything. Or drop $600 on a PC based touch screen point of sale that includes literally everything you need, right down to the cash drawer, though you'll probably have a monthly license fee for the software. There are also free and low cost point of sale software bundles that work just fine on a low end PC, just add a $25 barcode scanner and a $150 thermal printer. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Apr 8, 2015 |
