That's the same yard that you hit when you brought the Justy through. 8 XJs, 1 MJ, half a dozen Foresters, and enough WJs to invade a small European country. Feel free to shoot me a PM.

meatpimp posted:The Winters make that statement untrue (except for NE Ohio, and gently caress that place). Surprisingly, once you get away from the lake(s), it becomes a lot more temperate. Yeah, that is true, Cincinnati has great weather, and it wasn't nearly as humid at cedar pointe a few weeks ago as it normally is in michigan. and yeah our winters are categorically worse

Geeze, this poo poo with an Irving, TX high school having a kid, who just happens to be Islamic, arrested because he brought a DIY digital clock to school, is making me embarrassed to be a Texan. Everybody, from the teacher, to the Principal, to the cops, played this the stupidest, most Islamophobic way possible. Holy gently caress, what a poo poo-storm.

gently caress this week in particular. Not gonna make a super long e/n post or anything, just... ugh. Dad's in the hospital about to undergo surgery, I told my job to get hosed because I'm done dealing with an infrastructure that's crumbling around me and only being able to slap bandaids on what are essentially gaping loving holes in the system...

Seems like every place has something that makes it poo poo - you just have to choose what you can tolerate. At this point, I'm thinking I'd like somewhere with first-world health care, decent roads, and a good education system. Unfortunately, looks like that's not going to be the USA. Canada's too cold and rusty, the UK is rusty and has some truly restrictive auto laws, and I don't speak anything other than English. Oz, maybe, but they've got a lot of the UK's attitude on cars vis-a-vis modifications, and probably won't let me stay anyway... Geoj posted:How long have you been living there? If its more than a month you really shouldn't be surprised. Somehow, I have a seemingly bottomless capability to be surprised at how truly stupid people can be. It's like a sort of weird eternal optimism, where I keep thinking maybe this time they won't be complete morons, or batshit insane, but nope, and I'm somehow surprised again. I know I shouldn't be. After 46 years, you'd think it would have been beaten out of me, but nope.

gently caress it. I just decided to clone these fuckers' hard drives rather than let Windows dawdle about copying. They just wanted to move to an SSD anyway - there was nothing wrong with their machines. I'll just rename them to the new PC ID after the fact. Ghost says two hours, which is faster than the 3 hours Windows was estimating for just a part of the data.

Welp, off the wagon again and it feels loving great. I love wine so much. Wine and dubstep make a boring gently caress's life great. Looks like my talents with coordinate measurement machines, precision metrology, inspection, computer programming, and electron beam welding mean that the merger of two sister companies keeps me employed. It also means that about 45 people are going to lose their jobs  It also means my commute will quadruple to 22 miles.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNE7oquWKFQ e: for those of you nationwide that love cheap gas, Houston is seriously falling on it's face hard right now.

One of my closest friends is about to go through a personal hell. His girlfriend works with mine and she let it slip that she's pretty much checked out of their relationship. She's just been putting on a happy facade and acting like business as usual because she wasn't sure what she wanted. My friend has a kid from a previous marriage and I guess the pressures of pretty much raising someone else's kid have gotten to her among other things. This sucks, they have their problems but he 100% loves her and was going to propose after they went through couples therapy. This is gonna be rough.

Same thing here but we only got to $1.91 yesterday and now up to $2.39 today. Last month when the price plummeted there was the refinery that suddenly had a problem preventing prices in the region from dropping. Very convenient right?

So I skipped some 400 posts. Y'all move too fast but I will say that Utah is the prettiest state so suck on that. With regard to gas chat I swear I've been paying just under $3 for premium from chevron for months. I haven't seen it get near two bucks in like a year.

It's been up and down all year but the last few weeks it's supposed to have been dropping according to averages. It was $1.89 in Defiance Ohio last week when I drove through. Still $2.19 here though (an hour east).

I was looking around to see if there was a Miata club in Cleveland. I found one but I assumed it was all old people because they have a page on their site for surfing the web safely. https://northcoast-miata.com/webtips/ Gas chat: Depending on where you go, I saw anywhere from ~$2 to $2.30 here in Cleveland on my way home

Irony: the highest average price of gas in the state right now, according to local talk radio anyway  is in my hometown (El Paso TX)..... there's a large refinery there (right by to what used to be an amusement park, go figure). You'd think that prices would be lower because of the local refinery (and thus, lower cost of transport), but nope. Gas prices tend to be higher there than most other places in the state.

Tho with the tanked aus dollar its closer to 96c/L if you use US$... Ive gotta buy fuel tomorrow, my sub tank is empty and theres less than a quarter of the main tank. Combined capacity is 217L
