Yes those are the rules, but I hosed up earlier and we just ran with it so don't be afraid, jump in. Keep that F5 key handy, though. And I LOL'd at STR's entry. From an AI forum POV this is loving hilarious

Yeah uh, most people I know just get really quiet when they're stoned. Personally, the only noises I can really make while baked are the stereotypical stoner laugh. I sometimes get coherent enough to order delivery, but the delivery person usually gets a contact high as soon as I open the door. I can't function enough to form a complex sentence when I'm baked.

(I've been tipped with joints before while playing delivery person,. that was always great.. also been tipped with shots and beers, I normally turned down shots, but if they gave me a beer I'd toss it in the fridge when I got home)

If it makes you feel any better, I also want to curbstomp the person that's smug about being really high too. Enjoy the high, but don't ruin my high by blabbing about how high you are. A brief "wow I'm loving baked" is enough.

I am, hilariously, no-poo poo allergic to pot. Break out in hives and sets off asthma attacks. Apparently triggered by too much exposure burning out ditchweed on my grandparents' farm. Drives me nuts at concerts. We drunks can pre-game, but the potheads feel they need to smoke up in the crowd. I don't even go to indoor concerts anymore because of it.

That's the rules, and you'd think it'd be easy to not gently caress up. Fortunately for our entertainment, it somehow is for some people.

Why would you spend $480 on a water pump and what adapter kit are you talking about? Also, that timing belt kis is overpriced and likely not what you want (they often include all the seals, etc and there is no reason to buy that unless you need to replace seals).

Also, I'll loan you the tools if you can't find them locally.

Hmm, I was just browsing through pelican parts. They don't even carry the pre '88(?) water pump, and claim they have a little kit to install the later pump on the earlier motors.

And thanks for the offer! I know there's a decent Porsche club in Phoenix, so I'm sure I can probably find it.

I do PCB design drat near every day. Been doing it for ~15 years as a hobby and about 4 years professionally.

Here's a 97-01 XJ auto transmission controller I did recently, actually:


Disregard the purple, the bargain basement PCB fab house I use for prototypes does everything in purple:


It's a 4 layer board, I probably could have avoided 4 layers by spreading the design out more, but I didn't have the enclosure I was designing for (it bolts directly into the stock TCU enclosure once you cut a second hole for the user interface port) on hand when I designed the board, so I just packed it as tightly as I could. If I end up producing them in quantity I'll probably do a serious redesign and spread things out so I can bring it down to two or maybe three layers to reduce PCB fab costs.

I have been debating moonlighting/contracting (for a year or two, a couple friends have tried to get me to do stuff for them, and I wanted to...) but right now I'm just too drat busy with the house. Maybe when winter sets in for real.

Awesome! I'm just getting my feet wet. I'm kinda stuck with one layer single sided as the plan is to isolation mill them.

I'm working on a little board to drive "smart" coils with MS, because v3.57 boards are smd and lack a proto area. Friend with the 12.01sec Volvo needs one, and I'll need one for the BMW when I go COP.

Purple boards? OSH Park?

Yeah the day 1 patches are almost as big as the game, which is becoming the norm for big releases since it takes 3+ months to have all the discs pressed.

Digital download FTW.

It's not a patch, it's that most retail purchases just install the Steam client and then set it to download the game. I mean, patches are huge, too.

Not jazzed about Fallout 4. Walking obscene distances in a video game is generally not exciting to me, and when reviewers are saying that it takes something like twenty hours for a plot to pay off, that's a deal breaker.

The distances aren't that great, and once you've been somewhere you can teleport back there instantly. And it's definitely entertaining for those 20+ hours.

Long RPGs aren't for everyone though.

No Fallout 4 for me yet, this computer won't run it and my gaming/sim rig isn't setup yet. Brother is trying to talk me into picking up a PS4 to play Fallout 4 and Dark Souls 3 with...I'm tempted since my G27 will work with it. Instead I'm installing New Vegas on this computer for a while instead of working on the sim rig or projects that actually need to be finished.

Nice going with the car game in GBS.

It's just like the other games, it has fast travel and all that. Not that I've gotten very far but it's similar to Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Nothing really different in regards to how the map is. 20 hours is also about normal for an AAA game :confused:

I can't get the companion app to sync to my PC.
