I can't be mad at my drunk-self, because they're usually killer deals on rare parts. But god drat my bank account hurts, both from the Bourbon but more so the parts. What did you buy?

I used to use bluestacks but it had some problems as far as transferring large (1gb+) files from internal storage to Windows. Then I found out about AmiDUOS, which isn't free but is much more stable. It can be had from here: http://www.amiduos.com/ One thing I like about it is that you can give it more memory than bluestacks would be able to take. That makes it poo poo the bed a little less often than bluestacks would. I tried Andy, too. I could never get it to work but it was my first choice, before bluestacks.

It's still really hard, I still haven't cleaned out the inside of the pickup he used as his daily. Just bough fancy-pants 18" Mustang wheels for my CV - tires are going to be $500-600 by themselves. For you, I'd say wrecking yard. Apparently, you're in the Rust Zone, but here in TX, aluminum wheels from the wrecking yard tend to be cheaper than new steelies from retailers, at least the common 15" factory alloys. Steelies from the wrecking yard are downright dirt cheap, and the CV and its clones are almost literally the most common car in America. Grab tires from the wrecking yard if you can, or used from a local tire shop. Hell, the local tire shop might have used steelies taken off from someone donking their poo poo... If I hadn't found pretty much exactly the Mustang wheels I was looking for at a price I could live with, I was probably going to upgrade my 16" cop whee;s to the 17" version from my friendly neighborhood wreckers.

I really, really hope that Hyundai doesn't gently caress up with the Genesis brand. I really, really like test driving the V8 sedan, and I hope it's around when I get my next car.

Welp. My mom finally starts dating someone who's an actual human being rather than a scumbag dumpster fire aaaand he's going in for a triple bypass tomorrow after a goddamn severe heart attack on Sunday. And the restraining order on her ex was lifted last week. It's been a batshit week around here. At least my truck has a driveshaft again.

Enourmo posted:now if only i could figure out why Because Python is amazing. We've been using it to develop deployment tools that integrate package release and trigger Jenkins builds for artifacts. It also allows you to do a barebones checkout of the Pom.xml files from SVN so you don't have to checkout the entire project, just the poms. Its really, stupidly, easy to use.

Two years from now, you're going to run into a problem that you know that you can automate, you'll spend 5 minutes looking at a man page, then 10 minutes writing something, and you'll look like a programming god to an outsider.

So we found that my tractors viscous hub for the engine fan wasn't locking up properly. Side effect was that was the AC system got baked big time and over pressurised the low side causing the front seal on the compressor to blow out. That explains the low system pressures and poo poo performance. They bolted a new compressor to it and recharged it and now I've gone from AC that's so crap you nearly were slashing in your jocks it was so hot to needing a jumper on a 20 degree day!

I found some ghost pepper salsa on the shelf at Wal-Mart. Looked at the ingredients... jalapenos, green chiles, and ghost peppers. Sounds spicy right? .... it has a decent bite, but nothing near what I was expecting (or hoping for).  Still stuck it in the kitchen fridge, I'll know when my stepdad finds it when I hear him swearing tonight. I've had that brand's habanero salsa before and thought it was pretty warm at the time, maybe I've just fried my taste buds. Has a pretty good flavor for store-bought salsa though.Ferremit posted:Real units here, not retardo units. For those readers in the third world, that's 68 degrees F.

There is a hybrid mode with convection plus the bottom bake coil, as well as a mode where you just run the bottom bake coil. Both of those take over an hour to preheat to 350. I resistance tested the bake element and it seems fine (25 ohms).

Likely an element failure, you may be able to get a replacement element - continuity / resistance doesn't mean a lot as the element may be losing contact at certain temperatures as it expands.

okay which one of you broke the DB server?  blk posted:When it runs in convection-only mode, it preheats to 350 in 15ish minutes. A little slow but not unreasonable. The combination mode may rely on the bottom coil to do the majority of the heating, only kicking in the convection coil once it's heated. Ask me how I know.  Our oven takes nearly an hour to heat up as well - on combination and on bake. It doesn't heat up at all on convection anymore (and hasn't in several years - probably 7 or 8 years now?) - the last time it did heat up on convection, it popped the breaker and let a bunch of magic smoke out.

Yeah, my friend is like 190 and all legs, he fits fine with the seat not even close to all the way back. Kind of like how I fit fine in every Miata, but I can't drive an S2000 at all.
