Y'all are gonna make me do it aren't you. I like guns because they are fun to shoot. I don't care for hunting, I don't intend to ever need to use my hand gun for protection.

Last Saturday I went out with friends of my neighborhood to shoot guns. I shot a full auto sub machine gun that is an SBR with a can on the end. I was shooting subsonic rounds too. DO YOU KNOW HOW BITCHING IT IS TO SHOOT FULL AUTO WITHOUT EAR PROTECTION? So bitching I just wrote a full sentence in caps. On an Internet comedy forum. I powderized some clay pigeons with a saiga 12 and it was also bitching. Not one of us died. When we were done we picked up our shell casings and grabbed our steel targets and went home.

I like guns because they are fun. I like cars and doing a burnout because it's fun. Turns out people are different. Turns out that's okay with me.

I'm now trying to convince her to sever and run, but she's being stubborn and putting up a "WELL HE HAS NEWS STORIES ABOUT HIM, HE COULD BE LEGIT" defense. :(

Stepdad finally decided it was time to upgrade his laptop. Tech support for his day trader software told him his existing laptop (core2duo) doesn't even meet the minimum requirements anymore. So off to Micro Center.

Noticed a nice Toshiba Satellite in their flyer. Refurb, dual core i5, 8 gigs of RAM, 1TB HDD, touch screen. $409. :stare: Better yet, they had an open box return that was marked down to $390. As soon as we boot it up, something seems... off. It's sluggish as hell, and once I plugged it into the LAN, I saw that port on the switch going apeshit. I also spotted a cmd window popping up every time I logged off or rebooted. The first time it was booted, it started off in the typical new PC stuff (time zone etc), but Windows 8 lets you reset the PC without a reinstall.

Installed Avast on it. Immediately caught 3 javascript exploits running as conhost.exe. Looked at the performance monitor, and it was just pounding the network. gently caress no, not on my network. Tried to run the recovery partition, but something's hosed with it to the point that it can't reinstall from recovery. Thankfully Microsoft makes 8.1 ISOs very easy to get, and even easier to make a bootable flash drive. drat thing flies now, it'll be even faster once it gets a SSD. I kind of want the thing now, even if it's a bit dated (both his laptop and mine are Haswell i5s, but his has a base clock of 2.8 GHz, mine has a base clock of 1.7 GHz... though mine's an ultra low voltage chip, so I get some pretty insane battery life out of it, especially with the SSD).

.... only 144 updates to install now. :shepicide:

I'm 37 now, and seem to bounce between 185-190, despite having a 32" waist. I have a reasonable amount of muscle just because I'm fairly active (both at home and at work), and wind up moving tons of poo poo at work (our walk in freezer is so small that we have to empty the entire thing twice a week when we receive our shipments, for example), so I'd like to think there's a lot of muscle hiding under the belly.

My Accord finally got sick of the way I treat it and blew the radiator on the way in to work today. Mid morning my shoe soles suddenly delaminated, so the poor car was then forced to take me to the mall, and through a McDonalds drive through on the way back to work. Then I drove it home in rush hour traffic. Despite this it only really got close to overheating as I parked in front of the house.



Yeah uh, if the radiator popped, the temp sending unit was only getting heat via whatever heat transferred to it through its threads from the water jacket. It was pretty toasty, a lot more than the gauge was indicating, since the engine had a lot of localized hot spots thanks to the lack of coolant.

But it takes effort to kill an F series, so you'll probably be fine. :v: (also, drat, that's incredibly low mileage for a CB series Accord)

:wtc: Stepdad's new laptop has been a pain in the rear end. Got it up and running (and fast as gently caress) with its original 8.1 Home license on a new ISO. Tossed my spare 8.1 Pro key at it via anytime upgrade, then started the update to Windows 10 (and since it had 8.1 Pro when I started, it'll update to Win 10 Pro). That also, sort of but not really legally (but legal in terms of Microsoft's activation servers), frees up my spare 8.1 Pro key to upgrade mom's PC from Win7 Home. I really need to get a TechNet account, I'm limited to one key per edition of Windows via Dreamspark (so one Win7 key, one Win 8/8.1 key, one Win10 key, one Windows Server key, etc). Her PC needs a reinstall badly (it takes nearly 10 minutes from power on until you can actually do anything with it - i3 with 4GB of RAM), and I'm making GBS threads keys for stuff like Office (finally, she can upgrade from Office 2007). Downside is everything will need a reinstall, but it really needs it.

Soon as I have the money, I plan to build a cheap server, just so I can gently caress with Win 2k12 (I have a Dreamspark key for that). Getting everything upgraded to a Pro version of Windows will go a long way toward letting me gently caress around with having a real server. Might just snag an off lease PC from Micro Center again, though I'm more inclined to just slap together an i3 or older i5 with 8GB of RAM and a spare HDD. I have a spare case, power supply, monitor, DVD-RW, HDDs, etc - all I'm really lacking is a motherboard, CPU, RAM, and keyboard/mouse (so the expensive poo poo).

This is the only time you'll see me defend Pizza Hut.

They actually fry their wings. In real fryers, with real "shortening" (the containers just say "Creamy Fryer Shortening", so it's likely 99% trans fats). And they toss them in whatever sauce you request (many many options).

They're not the best wings, but for late night wings, they're not bad at all. And they deliver.

(the bad news: I'm the one prepping wings for the entire day, 5 out of 7 days of the week; I'm generally the one handling the fryers during day shift those days as well, so you might catch THE GAY from your wings if you order from my store)

Mad Max fun fact: In Arabic the words for "WITNESS" and "martyr" are basically the same. Most Arabic words are based on a root of three consonants, which is translated as the 3rd person singular masculine past tense, with extra letters tacked on to turn it into a different part of speech, or a different tense or a noun or whatever in some really retarded ways, because let me remind you this is an ancient tribal language we're talking about. Anyway, putting a long A after the first consonant gives you the person doing the verb: the letters sh-h-d, "shahada," (oh also there are the short vowels that are almost never actually written) meaning "he saw, or witnessed", turns into "shaahid," a witness. And then some other constructions are pretty random without any grammatical basis, like "shaheed", a martyr.

So people watching an Arabic dub or subtitled version of that movie are pretty much getting one long :thejoke: because of their stupid loving language.

Hey guys, how hard is it to do a manual trans swap in an origami spaceship MR2? Theres a super clean auto for sale very close to me that I am extremely tempted to look at/make bad decisions on.

Having paid a shop to do one in my 93 MR2 (similar but not exactly the same) the issue will be getting all the required hydraulics for the clutch. All the holes that the lines run through may not be drilled (mine weren't despite everyone telling me they would be) Those lines are a pain in the rear end and require dropping the gas tank. There will also be some electronic fuckery that you have to do (in the later generation it was putting a jumper in it so that the ecu sees it in park) Mine never ran quite right, but it is doable. My recommendation is to get a clean auto shell, and the most clapped out running 5 speed car you can find and just swap everything over (ALL the ecu and harness). I know for a fact that the sensors are a bit different on the man trans (at least on the later models) and the body harness didn't match up with the engine/trans harness. But yeah all the major parts physically bolt in.

Check out the MR2OC on it.

it's still weird that he told me to kiss his arse when I asked him if he was lying

i mean i know Norwegians arent always the most emotionally vocal guys you'll meet, especially if they have sadbrains, but way to cast more doubt on yourself

I've just washed my hands of the situation. If he was lying or telling the truth, I don't care to much either way, because this is an internet comedy forum. But his stories were pretty far in left field, so I took poo poo at face value.

I do feel bad for cancer, because gently caress all forms of cancer (including iron cancer)
