Birthday is tomorrow, just picked this up as an early present to myself since it released on Steam today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Ky4Zxr6IA Some of the most fun I've had with a game in ages. Chaining together flowing drifts and nailing clipping points is amazingly good fun.

My buddy is a caterer and brought over a bunch of boxes of 7oz High Life bottles that didn't get drank. So at least they are free.

Cage posted:That looks neat. I know you play GTA:V but do you also have IV? I have spent dozens of hours in that game with a custom handling.cfg just drifting around the city. Its a lot of fun and you can tweak it pretty easily, even modding different cars in is a snap. The physics don't mirror real life, but they make sense and look good in motion. You can even set the front and rear power distribution if you want to get some 4 wheel drifts going. I've got IV and both the DLCs, but I've only really messed around with doing the story stuff in TLaD and TBoGT. I've never dicked around with modding the handling files, though I did install the Emergency Lighting Systems mod before for mad realistic police cars

So it's one of those unwritten rules that when you're at the gym and there's only one other person working out that they want to use the exact same piece of equipment as you do at that exact time, right? I mean I'll work in but I don't want to spend like five minutes waiting on the other guy to finish his set.

Fuuuck I wish today was over. My last day to work during the week before I start teaching again and I get put on the closing shift. This is after a month of the day shift. We're down to a single phone for everyone and I'm dealing with loving idiots that don't comprehend what "factory direct order" means. "Sorry, sir. I don't have them in stock and it looks like they're factory direct order only." You don't have them? "No, they are factory direct order only." Any of your other stores have them? "No, sir. I can only get them from the factory." From Moog? "Yes. They'll be here on the third." You don't have them in store? "No. I've got to order them from the factory." What does that mean? What are you telling me? "I have to order them. From Moog." Oh okay thank you.

I don't think I could name a single hot weather activity that can't be improved by an ice cold longneck of high life. But I freely admit I'm a cheapskate with a gutter palate. I don't care what floats your boat as long as you aren't obnoxious about it.

The only beer I will willingly buy is Corona, but that always comes secondary to Jameson or equivalents As far as bad beer goes though I do have a soft spot for Michelob for some ungodly reason Nodoze fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jul 29, 2015 |

"No codes, just a little hesitation. I wanna replace my MAF sensor. Sound like that would fix it?" I mean, it could be that or bad gas or need a tune up or a dying transmission or literally a dozen other things, sir. "I feel like I've had this like revelation man. I threw an air filter code and like I cleared out leaves and it went away but that could still be the problem." I guess? I can't really say and it could be a lot of other things. "Imma try it anyway because I'm pretty sure that's the problem." I'll go ahead and order it and it'll be in tomorrow.

Corona is overpriced skunky piss beer. It's only good at the source or in cans. High life is good when you want something cheap to liquor up on, like when working on cars. Otherwise I'm into reds right now. Give me some sleepy dog red rover asap!

Tonight started off nice, was going to go for a nice 20 mile ride with the lads and I was at mile 4 gearing up for a sprint. I was changing hand position from the brifters to the drops to sprint and all of a sudden my front wheel is sideways and I'm on the ground and my hip is killing me. They got me up after I stopped clutching my hip and I was able to hobble to the sidewalk. I told the paramedics and firefighters that I don't want to go to the hospital mostly because I can't afford a trip to the emergency room  My wife picked me up I applied alcohol to my road rash, which hurts like a motherfucker. My left hip is swelling pretty bad and I can't really do anything with that leg. I don't think I can drive my car for a while. WTF am I gonna do? I need to get to work somehow. I already called in because my wife forbade me from driving. I smacked my head pretty good, but the helmet took the blow. 10 years of hard road riding and this is my first crash. I hurt

HOLY poo poo I hate cores, too. People are loving stupid about them and don't grasp how they work. I'm a drat teacher and I'm excellent at breaking poo poo down in a variety of ways. I have explained it to people 5 or 6 times on the phone only to have them come in and still be surprised at the price.

Who the hell would want to move there from Sydney?

Or people who come in "Yeah, I need the bolt that holds my control arms in, do you have one" "Sure, we sell some high grade bolts that will work for that, do you know the size or have the bolt with you?" "What, you don't know? Can't you look it up or something, what kind of loving part salesman are you" Or the "Yeah, I need x part for a small block chevy." "Ok, what displacement and car did the engine come out of." "Its for a small block chevy" "Yes, but there have been 4 generations of SBC, with dozens of models in each one" "Just shut the gently caress up an give me X part, all SBCs are the same." I can usually pound it through their head that I need something workable, but a few it takes multiple trips and returns. There is a reason I have to ask year, make, model and engine size on basically every customer.

Reminds me of the numerous IT recruiters who want me to move 6k miles across country to bumfuck, Iowa for a 6 month contract with no possibility of being hired on afterwards for... 12 dollars an hour. Gee golly what a deal!

"Look on your computer there and pull me up the wiring diagram." Sorry, our system doesn't have wiring diagrams. "Yes it does." ...no, it doesn't. There's a funny dynamic between men and women coming in. Women typically know and give you the exact year make and model (and sub model) for washer fluid. Men will come in and not know a thing about the car and need something very specific like an O2 sensor, and get quite angry when you question them about it. Also, we need to stop pulling codes. 90% of the people have no idea what they need to do to fix it. "Says here a misfire on cylinder 3. Typically we recommend replacing your spark plugs and wires." "...Spark plugs....?" Or their check engine light isn't even on and it's their change oil light.

Not defending Amazon's recruiting practices but I hear it's a nice place to work for. A former coworker of mine got a job there. I know he's doing very well and it's the job that he wanted for a very long time. If I have to start looking for another job, I know this time to avoid headhunters. In hindsight, just about every single one I talked to didn't know what they were looking for. My favorite was the guy who wanted me to apply for a job at the company I was already working for.

QuarkMartial posted:"Look on your computer there and pull me up the wiring diagram." Not gonna lie, I love it when women come in. Most of the time its "Hey, I need this part for this exact car." "Yup, here you go" and will even listen if I make a legit suggestion. Like right now most of the major roads in our area are under construction with tons of fine sand being blown around constantly, so I've been asking when the last time someone changed their air filter. The guys will 90% of the time blow me off, the women will listen, usually say when and if its been like 10-20k, I'll recommend checking it and buying a new one if its dirty and occasionally make an extra sale, horray. Also, I'd be ok with no longer pulling codes for that reason. Also no more having to have my face next to their skidmarked loving seats. I swear these assholes are driving around butt rear end naked. EDIT: I should probably stop bitching about terrible parts store customers, given they do pay my bills and let me buy things for my terrible truck.
