Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

A guy I work with got bumped into walking through the car park on Friday, driver didn't stop and had a completely obscured frosty windscreen. That's a firing offence, today HR were trying to track down who it was from the registration plate and it turns out the guy has a fake plate. The number on his car belongs on a Bentley continental, his is a Renault. :munch: This is going to be interesting.

I've been going to a lot more concerts and festivals in the last ~6 months, I always have ear plugs on me (thanks work) and usually just hang out towards the back. Place we usually go has chairs around the back/walls and a bar you can sit at. I'll go jump around for a while but I'm rarely going to do that for six or more hours :corsair:

And while we're at it, not only are movies too loud but I think previews actually try to compete with each other to be as loud and annoying as possible. Notable exceptions are Deadpool and Mad Max for some reason that a movie buff/sound engineer could probably explain.

Look forward to Miata snaps. Wasn't that Elantra pretty new? How did you manage to blow that thing up or is it a known issue?

Known issue. The recall for Sonata engines came out the same week as the news broke about VW emissions, so no one heard about it.

Bahaja, if you buy more than one state park pass per household, it's much cheaper. It's $25 for the first one and $10 for additional passes. I have a lot of passes (three state, one federal, two local) so it's easier for me to just have stickers.

meatpimp isn't wrong about me treating people like poo poo (but the Elantra is the only engine I've had blow up lately). His caustic Facebook messages to me were actual an integral part in my decision to live sober because it really forced me to look at how I treated people and how I treated myself. I haven't drank in over five months and it's the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Seriously, though, I did break it down to you and I hope that did help. I don't operate from a place of bad intentions.

I may be extra salty right now, though... my wife's been out with some serious vestibular/vertigo issues (who knew that there was PT for vestibular issues...), then I'm approaching a long-standing appointment to get some cortizone shots in my feet so I can get back on a bike... and I blew out tendons in one of my heels walking with a heavy pack. gently caress. So now I'm in a boot waiting for shots on Wednesday that I don't know if I'll get or not, depending on the heel outlook. :gently caress:

Reference level is 105db iirc which is LOUDDDDDDDD

...but of course cinema processing has a lot of places where overall gain can be adjusted before you get to the amplifiers. Also speaker sensitivity varies so if one set up was 105db with one setting, another theatre using the same settings and same amps but different speakers could be almost twice as loud again if the speakers are more sensitive.

Also like regular tv ads, max volume is an attention seeking thing.

No, but you could run Rotella T6 5w-40 in it easily enough if you aren't somewhere where the temps are that cold. The earlier lm7s aren't really that picky on what kind and weight of oil gets chucked in them. I've been running castrol edge in it, but thats more because its constantly on sale at work.

Their website is borderline 9/11 truther/silverbugs/forwards from Grandma with their rantings about the govt. Will the ozone destroy the strange rubberized coating on on the plastic on the bottom of a laptop? they say no soft rubber stuff. This is like that VW/E46 rubberized coating stuff. If that makes any sense.

I think it'll destroy a lot of things with enough exposure. I don't see it hurting anything significantly in the time you'll be using it, though. I used it on the interior of my Envoy for about 45 minutes and I'd say the crappy GM adhesives are more sensitive to ozone than your laptop pads... nothing has fallen off yet.

I do use care when using the machine, though. It is a serious piece of equipment. Just make sure to use it in an enclosed space and have it on a timer. That way it can turn off and air out before you need to enter the room again.

It used to be an issue when "interest income" was something that existed. As it is now, though, there's no tangible benefit to zero-tax-refunding. While I like getting interest income better, getting a few grand back as a bonus from the generous Uncle takes away some of the sting.

Lengthy, repeated treatments will definitely cause damage but a one time treatment shouldn't do much harm. If you feel like DIYing, I still need to wire mine up in an old PSU case:

A couple years ago I owed something stupid like $1.75 on federal taxes, and then they charged me a $5 "convenience fee" for paying them online. That was just obnoxious.

For the first time I actually have to go through an accountant this year since we bought a house and my soon to be wife has complicated taxes. Its extra confusing since we both bought the house, but we were not married yet, I started working from home full time and I spent a large chunk of money on dental work, so no easy taxes for me anymore. Hopefully all of that means I should get a decent return for the first time in years.

wait no not amazing, what's the word. obvious. yeah that's it.
