keykey posted:ATF/acetone works well too, that's my goto for getting rid of rust on bolts if I don't have a parts cleaner handy. The shelf life of a bottle is limited though because the acetone kills the spray mechanism. This is why I use one of those little oiler cans. Seems to be holding up after 1.5+ years. You can't spray with it but it does what I need it to.

April chat thread? Are we sure its April? Needless to say I was not able to drive it to work today. I attempted driving on my street, but 315mm in the rear (:thatswhatshesaid:) and hockey puck summer tires in the front do not make for a comforting ride.

I've looked at this, but I can get a 10x13 metal shed for £280, I doubt a custom build of a smaller shed would come close to that  Quality doesn't have to be great as it will only be temporary.

so apparently the hot new trend is texting while skateboarding. right as I was about to pass between a pair of bollards, this dipshit not paying attention decided he had to pass through the exact same opening, even after finally looking up and making eye contact with me. if id been a couple mph faster I would have plowed over him, as it was I had to swerve while the two of us were in a 2-3 foot space; i lost balance and had to stop, and he fell forward and walked off the board which rolled downhill into the back of my ankle. i'm loving looking everywhere when i'm moving even slightly faster than foot traffic how the gently caress do you just check out while on something where you actively have to maintain balance

It was like Spring storms that like to roll through and pour rain for 5 or 10 minutes, but it was snow instead. It'd go from bright and sunny to about 1/8th mile visibility through blowing snow and then back to bright and sunny. Did that poo poo all day Saturday and then Sunday was a loving peach with lights winds and about 70 degrees. We're back in the 30s and 40s today.

CommieGIR posted:Its one reason I like old Audis, the transmission are overbuilt as hell, which is one reason you can basically attach whatever engine you want without worrying about blowing it with power mods. You'll break the engine before you shred the transmission. I've always wondered why no one puts Audi AWD manuals into subarus. Shouldn't be too too hard, since they're both the same longitudinal setup with the front diff behind the engine.

That'd be interesting for sure. Only issues I can think of would be starter location, but I suspect you could easily resolve that with an adapter plate that moves it.

Just had the police knock on the door. I am told that there were 9 garages broken into at our old complex over the weekend, one of them being my old unit so of course that makes me suspect since we moved out of there a loving year ago. They asked me a bunch of unrelated questions, got irritated that I had an airtight alibi and then told me they needed to take me to the station for my statement. Having been through this same bullshit with the previous management at that complex I declined to go with them. One of them said my attitude made me look guilty and I just shrugged and asked if I was under arrest. They said no so I told them to have a good day and closed the door. gently caress da police yo.

I'm still on my original bottle that I got about 13 years ago from my wife's uncle who was given 10 gallons or some such poo poo after finishing a hydroelectric dam cylinder refurbishment job. Apparently kroil has been in use in the industrial sector for at least 2 decades. Because Amazon will deliver on a Saturday evening when I run out... Don't get me wrong, I order from Amazon almost religiously, but Amazon is not always the answer.

Also, if you do an engineering masters, it will probably be in a narrow, specific field that you are interested in, and you won't know what that is until you're there. I don't see the value in a non-specialized masters degree.

The victims do not know me or anything about me. Neither does the current complex managers. The only lead they have that connected me to this was that I used to rent that garage and my move out was lovely because they surprised inspected us before I could have the carpeting cleaned.

In all seriousness, most of the issue has been the living situation, and I've already committed to changing that before summer is over. I realize i bitch about the course work a lot, but I really am getting the work done, and having peace and quiet will only make that easier. Over summer there's only 2 classes (6 credit hours total) I can take anyway, so that's already 1 semester breather compared to this one.

Proud of you for sticking it out, yo.  well i'm all registered. fluids and measurements over summer; vibrations, heat transfer, cad/cam and engineering practices in fall. the last two i feel pretty good about (eng practices used to just be called "solidworks" which I'm pretty familiar with, and cad/cam should be easy enough to pick up), leaving just two real hard hitters per semester. should be at least somewhat easier than this semester with two real hard courses and one that's way harder than any of us anticipated. now i just have to schedule counseling, and a physical as a follow-up to my last doc appt, and get my oil changed, and find time to keep applying for internships, and the apartment hunt... E: poo poo, i'm looking now and I could start senior design 1 as soon as next spring, which puts me graduating summer or fall depending on lab course availability and the internship situation, instead of may '18 like i've been thinking.

I struggle with that too. Currently there's 3 non-running cars in my backyard calling my name but I have to prioritize here. Two classes seems like a mistake right now with all the bullshit going on this week, but it'll be awesome once I get through it. If you're going through hell, keep going. This is non-mindful Adiabatic that really needs to get back to mindful Adiabatic. See? I do it too. Back to one class in the fall, and I may end up taking a break since I'm beginning to get disillusioned and just reached the halfway point. We'll see how I feel after a break during the summer. What's measurements? Fluids feels weird with the crazy applications of equations, but if you try to keep your eye on the big picture and why you're using it the way they're teaching you, it helps a bunch. Or at least it helped me. Make sure to have a light load when you take heat transfer. That class is a killer.
