Guy offered me a S&W M&P 9mm with 3 holsters in exchange for the Mazda B2000. If I can't get it to stop smoking, I might actually take the trade

Super Aggro Crag posted:Its like half of you skim over my posts just so you can constantly be loving assholes. If I failed my piss test after 3 weeks of not smoking then by the time another one comes around in a few weeks or whatever I'll be good. I even took all my poo poo outta my living room so I can just hang out in my bedroom and outta the way of 2nd hand weed smoke. So I'm an rear end in a top hat for telling it like it is? If I sugar coat it and give you praise would that make you less butthurt? Jesus Christ. Odds are if you have any body fat at the amount you smoke weed it's not leaving your system any time soon. You need to get a home test kit to make sure you're clean before you fail another drug test and look like an even bigger idiot.

El Jebus posted:Rented a car to drive up to Oregon for Christmas. ODOT has chains required signs up for the pass on I5, and I am not sure what I should do. Spend the extra hours on Tuesday driving up the coast from Sacramento? Buy chains somewhere and return them when I come back down because I probably won't use them? Thought about Les Schwab and their returns but apparently you can only return them in April according to many angry reviews online and the closest to me is in Bakersfield, a town I will be avoiding. Walmart? Costco? I'm driving up I5 from Sac but 99 up to Sacramento. Unless I take the coast from Sacramento... Drive up the coast. Much more interesting and scenic drive and does not add that much more time to the trip. Especially if you have never driven up the California/Oregon/Washington coasts before. Some of the most beautiful scenery in the country along that stretch. I did the same thing to avoid the snow when I bought my old mr2 in San Jose and drove it home to Seattle. Took 2 days to get to Seattle, and that included not leaving SF till ~1 in the afternoon and then stopping to visit some friends in Portland, and still made it home before 8pm.

InitialDave posted:I've always said that if you watch Star Wars as an adult, without either having the "holy poo poo this is the best thing ever" memories from being a kid with it, or remembering/knowing what a sea change it represented in terms of what'd be put in front of you when you sat down in a cinema (especially for sci fi)... Yeah, it's a bit rubbish. That's me I don't think I saw them until I was 12 or so. I still have difficulty with its popularity, the second one was a legit cool movie, the first had some obvious teething issues but was alright in the context of the time. I do feel left out because I can't understand why it is such a huge cultural icon. I never get the argument about special effects, you look at 2001 which was made about 10? years earlier and the Star Wars effects don't seem that amazing to me.

Re: Ricco getting asked about SANs, I wouldn't be surprised if the HR person was asking the question to see if he could also qualify for another job. In my experience HR reps often have no technical knowledge (even if their role is specifically filling technical jobs) and are reimbursed or evaluated based on getting butts in seats. It wouldn't surprise me if the HR person is trying to throw him at another opening. Re: Star Wars, I think Rhyno is being too jaded and critical (still love ya bud). Think about any movies that hold up to our modern tastes that are from before 1985... Meaning they suck you in and you get lost in the story. Now whittle that list down to only sci-fi or fantasy movies. Now think about that list as a percentage of all movies ever made. It's pretty small. Yeah, Kubrick could have done better, but the originals are still pretty drat good for the time. Someone said a few pages back that this movie is for the next generation, which I agree with, but unlike 1-3 I feel like it's for the next generation while honoring that which came before it.

I got an email back from obe of the.places I applied to. The HR lady said in the email "Your resume is amazing!" but she asked if I know anything about SAN and Mainframe storage becauae the job is at a data center. What the fucm does that mean? It means you probably don't have the background knowledge to do what they want you to do, unless they're just looking for someone to pull cables for a SAN setup. Any cable monkey can do that, if they're paying attention. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Seat Safety Switch posted:Jesus we're pretty similar. I can't bear to get rid of old magazines (especially early issues of MacAddict) but I did in the end. Otherwise it's just hoarding, and I have enough categories of other stuff to hoard. quote:I think there's an online archive of Hot Rod now (according to the latest issues of Hot Rod) but I doubt there will ever be one for SCC. Yeah, I think Hot Rod is available, and several of the other big ones. Need ot look into that. I actually preferred Popular Hot Rodding for a long time, because their features seemed more realistic and attainable. The high-dollar stuff is nice, but I really preferred reading about stuff that I might actually be able to do without a trust fund or a patron. I will never get rid of my collection of CARtoons, though. Or MAD Magazine, for that matter. The Locator posted:Last year (or maybe the year before?) my office was collecting stuff to send to the troops stationed in the gulf area fighting terrorists. Specifically listed in the things that the troops requested were magazines (and toilet paper), so I collected all my Sportscar and Grassroots Motorsports magazines (and probably some others) and sent them off to the troopies. I'll never re-read any of them (I never have in 50 years, probably won't start this year), so why not let some troops enjoy them? Good on you. I know if I were stuck in the rear end end of nowhere with crappy internet, I would love to read almost any car mag I hadn't seen in a while. some texas redneck posted:So some shithead tried to burn down the UU church I go to. Some people will try to destroy anything that looks like authority. Or maybe they didn't like their style of worship? You know how hard line fundies can get. Tolerance is not a strong suit there. Hell, it could just be "disenfranchised youths" who just happened to be aware of the facility. some texas redneck posted:Well, found out that the DVR system itself was destroyed (it was in one of the worst-damaged rooms), but the hard drive was still intact and functional, so they have video. And there you go. kastein posted:Luke gets shot about 5 minutes in A COWorker has a image meme on his cube wall. It's a picture of Patrick Stewart, with the quote: "'Use the Force, Harry' - Gandalf". How to enrage all the nerds. 88h88 posted:The answer is a fight to the death, obviously. <Classic Star Trek battle music.mp3> I wager twenty Quatloos on the newcomer. Most AI thing I've done lately is buy a cop car, and then start adding civilian luxuries to it, but I do own several rotaries and a '70 Cutlass (V8! Witness!). Does that count?

My latest AI adventure was an oil change on  my subaru I've been changing oil on japanese shitboxen since 1997 and this is the first time it's ever flown out of the drain hole, right to the middle of the drain pan thing, and splashed off the little plug in the middle, spraying everywhere. I also just dropped $1000 on my wife's mini. It needed about $3000 of work for hitting a curb when she got run off the road. Front subframe, front LCA, LCAB, wheel, and steering angle sensor. I'm so glad I made a claim instead of nickle and diming that poo poo.I guess I'm in the passing interest crowd too. Though reading about kimbo's ferrari was pretty sweet. zundfolge posted:driving other people's astons from the service department to the forecourt is just like lapping the ring, tbh
