If it were mine it would already be fixed. I did my part by unblocking other cars. some texas redneck posted:The only pain in the rear end will be refilling the transaxle if it's a manual - the fill plug will often seize if it hasn't been maintained. It's an auto. I will advise them of the ease of repair but they've already made up their minds.

No. Good movies, but not great unless you're into mob movies. In that category Good Fellas is better than all three God Father movies imo.

I've always felt this way and wondered that maybe I'm just too far removed from the cultural and cinematic zeitgeist of the time to really get it? I've had people tell me they're the greatest loving movies of all time but they didn't strike me as being particularly good, let alone great. leica posted:In that category Good Fellas is better than all three God Father movies imo. On the other hand this is a legit awesome movie.

Nobody says the Godfather is a great trilogy. The first one is great. The second one is even better. The third was made to pay off the debts of the first two and is terrible.

My coworker is terrible at selling cars. Offered me a 73 super beetle. Super cheap at only 3000. Only minor (read: significant) rust near the bottom of the doors. And the back seat interior bits are torn up because someone tried to install a SBC into it and failed. And it needs tires. And maybe an engine. But the air filter is new!

So a friend's girlfriend sent me a text saying my friend is in jail. I assumed it would be for public intox or DUI. Turns out I was right.. in a way. I looked him up on the county website. He got popped a couple of months ago for DUI (=>0.15 BAC), looks like he managed to get his license back so long as he didn't drive anything without an interlock. Then no-showed to his next court date and got himself a warrant. Dumbass. Turns out he's had a couple of public intox arrests too. I'm not really one to talk about excessive drinking, but his drinking makes me look like I'm totally straightedge. Hopefully he gets his poo poo together after this, but I'm not holding my breath. He's already lost his car, his home, his son, and most of his family and friends.

I'm renting an apartment in Vienna across the street from the Austrian Pentagon and they must have some American NATO liaisons - amidst all the Audis parked outside are a clapped out Chrysler New Yorker, a Mazda MX6 with a fart pipe and a Caliber SRT.

So the old man's new Octavia is fitted with the 1.0 engine... On one hand, it's pretty impressive that they're able to wring out 115hp and 200Nm out of a one liter three cyl. On the other hand, FFS Dad, jut for once tick a fun box or two.

This might get you butt hurtbut when it comes to the Debeers and diamonds bullshit, this is one thing I just draw the line on - it's all nothing more than marketing swill that has done nothign than to breed wars and create human misery. Plus the advice of "gently caress the expensive ring, put the money to real use" IS one of the most valuable lessons any young couple should listen long and hard to.

So someone in the work facebook group posted a selfie. The company-sponsored facebook group. In clothes with company logos. Driving. Flipping off the camera. And holding an open beer. Did I mention while driving, or at least behind the wheel? That's.. not going to end very well for him. People have been let go just for posting in that group when they're supposed to be working.

Liquid Communism posted:Gotta try and be shocking to get their readership up. I have NFI what a Skrull is. But I do know quoted from someone who knows much more than I do about comics - "I think many people are missing just WHY the fans are so mad about the Captain America reveal, and it goes back to the history of Marvel Comics (then called Timely) as it existed shortly before World War II. America was very hesitant to get into the war. There was a shockingly large Nazi faction in America at the time trying to make sure we DIDN'T oppose Hitler. The staff of Timely (including the creators of Captain America) were watching scores of Jews being driven from Germany (including family members for some). They saw large Nazi rallies being held in NYC just blocks from their offices. Despite knowing that the country was NOT on their side, the Jewish writers and artists at Timely decided to make an overt political statement. They published a comic that showed a symbol of America, CAPTAIN America, punching Hitler in the face as Hitler looked over plans for an attack on American soil. This took place BEFORE Pearl Harbor when no one imagined the Axis attacking the US. Timely and its staff recieved death threats and bomb scares after the publication of that first issue that caused them to shut down the offices for a time and need police protection. But they stuck to their guns and were proven right when the Axis did attack the US and we joined the war. Captain America became a top seller to help GIs on the front keep their spirits up. Captain America was created by Jews to combat rising Nazi sympathies in the US and to spread the word about Hitler's evil at a time when saying that would get you DEATH threats. Now do you see why some people might be REALLY loving OFFENDED that some rear end in a top hat has decided to make that character a goddamn Nazi?!" The more you know about Rogers and how why he was created, the more mindblowingly stupid and insulting to the fanbase this is - there is no goddamn way they are selling more comic books with this one. There's shaking poo poo up for *reasons* like Thor (which is fine to me anyway) and then there is audience insulting like Rogers is Hydra all along is. I havent been a Comic Book Nerd ever since I worked out how loving dumb they truly are (Which is why I have a paticular loathing for Spiderman and F4) but that's really on an entirely new level of absolute stupid. It's so dumb that for once I'm not laughing at how butthurt stupid nerds are being - which usually is great to do but I'm forced to agree with them on this one. gently caress whomever thought this one was a good idea.

Jewlery is a fashion accessory and is worth whatever the market is willing to pay for it. That being said I rather keep my money for something else. Which is why I my earrings are fake. I do miss my gold chain though, had it forever but it snapped so many times I just scrapped it for some bullion.
