Going back to his house nextweekend to weld in the final crossmember GIMP CAGE, paint the frame and move it.

Looks a bit dorky with the rise behind the cab but I imagine being made for cargo makes it better for your purposes that gutting a passenger bus?

That's the problem that nobody has come to realise yet - there is, as far as I can tell, no effective solution to this problem. Military force won't work because if you martyr these guys there are more ready to take up arms, either in ISIS or in successor organisations, which will spring up because this is as much a war of ideas as it is a war of states/quasi-states. Additionally, there is still little appetite in Europe/elsewhere to actually fight them, which would need to be a very long-term operation to have even a remote chance of success, and even that is likely doomed because our supposed "allies" (specifically, Turkey and Saudi Arabia) are at best complicit with ISIS and at worst covertly supporting them.

The other problem is, of course, there is no peaceful solution either that I can see. Through our own actions/inactions, whatever the case may be, we have created a monster the likes of which has never been seen before.

No we haven't. We're just loving thankfully too civilized to solve the problem like the Romans.

Hangin rock is the most thankless job. It's worth it to me to pay someone to do it. I actually used that philosophy for my entire basement though which while expensive looks heaps better than I would have been able to achieve and we're just waiting on clean up, carpet, and countertops! So hyped.

That looks like an awesome project. If you do have to find parts for something like that, though, where do you even go?

Somewhere like TruckPro for basic/random poo poo, any truck dealer for engine stuff (looks like PO was going to a Freightliner dealer based on that pain in the rear end Alliance water separator), and there are specialty shops for drivetrain, etc.
I'm willing to bet those diffs are NLA though, so don't break those.

Wasn't bad, but wasn't great when compared to legit Texas/southern bbq. Owner came out, gave him honesty, ended up with more food (which was indeed better), kitchen tour, four free Whiner glasses, bottle openers and coozies, and tickets to the comedy show next to my house.

Wasn't great but we'll definitely be back. gently caress yeah. Gonna go see Bobcat in an hour :v:

My belly's already full of Raising Cane's. Such a weird place. For those that haven't seen the chain, it has 4 items on the menu, Chicken Fingers, French Fries, Cole Slaw and Texas Toast. It sounds a bit ridiculous and the items don't seem to go together, but they do. God drat, they do.

I almost went there for dinner.

Decided a chicken taco with magos, grilled jalapenos, and habanero sauce from Torchy's Tacos would be a bit healthier (and probably burn my rear end a bit more tomorrow).

Also, you forgot their chicken finger sandwich.

Our gm should probably not have let us know that, no matter what the quality of our work is, pizza hut will never, ever give any of us a raise after employee reviews for any reason. I've never seen so little effort put into a job by so many people at once. Even the people who used to give a poo poo have stopped trying. Foods late? Whatever. Pizza cut poorly or missing toppings? Oh darn. Phone not being answered quickly (or sometimes at all)? What a shame. Maybe we should try to piss off corporate by demanding health benefits since all of us are getting nearly 40 hours scheduled a week.

They demand our gm work 70 hour weeks but only pay her for 50. No overtime. The entire industry is built on abusing people to the breaking point. I single out pizza hut because I work for them but its the same at any other wage slave job. But at least we have freedom! :911:

Because there's no other choice?

I've been applying for city government jobs since January, because I work for one of those lovely employers that refuse to negotiate on raises so an extremely good job all year with excellent feedback from all departments I deal with gives me a 3% raise. The economy is in the shitter here so if I leave there's a thousand people waiting to take my place.

It's loving hopeless and depressing as gently caress but there's not much you can do, its not like the company comes out and says "We're a lovely company and will gently caress you over". Hell my manager even refuses to give out reference letters so they've got you hosed over no matter what. I still don't know what I'm going to do about that.
