On top of that, when my wife took her to the doctor she left our front door wide open. It's funny how family members that you see maybe a few times a year all of a sudden want to come over all the time to see the baby. poo poo gets annoying. Then once the baby is grown up and into the terrible 2's and 3's they stop offering to babysit and are magically busy when you need someone to watch your kid. Good times!

Ended up with a 3.0 for the semester, grades ranging from C+ to A, B- in Thermo. It was one of those semesters where even once the results were better than I expected, there was no relief, just "thank gently caress that's over with, on to the next poo poo"

So, we have four windows on the side of our house that are roughly 2'sq, and face directly west. Sounds great, until you remember I live in socal and electricity in the summer costs $Tesla and those windows get completely unblocked sun for ~8hrs every day. These windows are 30' above the floor, and 8' out from the loft. So I just screwed eye hooks into two pieces of PVC, put double sided tape on squares of shade fabric, pushed wire through the fabric to make loops...then ferried the fabric across and pushed the tape down with a long 2x4. Looks Jerry rigged as gently caress (literally no one but the wife and I will see it), and wife wasn't too amused, but holy gently caress my house just dropped 5* instantly and is steadily cooling more. gently caress you, summer.

I put the tint film on the inside of the north-facing (southern hemisphere) window in our upstairs bathroom, as per the instructions, and it's worked wonders, literally 10C colder in there in summer no ladder required

I paid my tint guy to do my house because I hate dealing with the poo poo, and apparently residential film is different than automotive film and even more difficult to deal with so gently caress that, I pay other people to tint things  It is great though, blocks a shitload of heat while still letting light in.

Who's got two thumbs and got a bachelor of science in electrical engineering tonight? . . . This guy! My last year turned out pretty great, A's and A+'s all round, with a single C in the last semester. That course kept me up at night wondering if it would prevent me from graduating, when I saw the results I can't tell you how happy I was. (Statistical mechanics for those wondering, think thermodynamics without using the laws, just statistical reasoning. Interesting course, but it was hard wrapping my head around some of it. )

MrOnBicycle posted:I posted a while back about stupidly wanting a 2.0 1990 Honda Accord for no real reason other than it's in mint condition. I can't stop thinking about it. I have no idea about trim levels there, but the top level for the US got a sunroof. The only way to get a sunroof on them (and I'm almost positive this is still the case today) is to opt for the EX or EX-L trim. IIRC those wheel covers and the unpainted door handles were only available on the poverty spec base model in the US (which meant manual windows, manual locks, manual mirrors, etc) - but I don't know if you could mix the base model exterior items with stuff like power windows and locks in other markets. I'd be more concerned with owning such an old car that hasn't been driven. Probably on its original timing belt, and likely on all the original seals and gaskets, so once it starts being used regularly, either the timing belt will let go or it'll start pissing oil everywhere. MrOnBicycle posted:To be honest, most decent Hondas and such are either 150k milers Tell me I'm not the only one who considers 150k to be barely broken in for a Honda (or, well, most cars now)... Previa_fun posted:I keep my corn in the freezer and then just boil it for a bit and slap some butter and salt and pepper on it for a no effort side. Weak corn game. Grill until it starts to blacken, then slather in butter, salt, and chili powder. Maybe some lime if you're feeling fancy. MustardFacial posted:Does high milage oil actually do anything or is it just a marketing gimmick? For what it's worth, I was losing ~2 qts of oil between (long) oil changes. Dropped to 1-1.5 qts after switching to high mileage. Same brand (Mobil 1). No visible leaks that I can find, and AFAIK the engine has never had the valve cover removed or otherwise opened for anything beyond typical maintenance. Never seen any smoke. It has a total capacity of 5 quarts; seems as if 1.5 quarts low puts it right on the "add" mark. I run the oil for 8-10k miles (I go by the oil life monitor). That's less oil consumption than a lot of brand new engines. My last Blackstone analysis basically came back with a glowing review of the engine's internal health (admittedly that was a couple of years ago). Same engine that's in your car. Broke 141k miles/227k km today. And no price difference between regular Mobil 1 and high mileage Mobil 1, so I just run the high mileage version. I figure as long as it gets regular oil changes, the high mileage stuff isn't hurting anything (even if the oil use difference is placebo).

Painting in this house is loving soul destroying. 4 coats before it looks good, with decent paint. Next time round will be a piece of piss because the walls won't be sucking the moisture out of the paint so quickly. And I have a hangover from one bottle of IPA, weak. The paint sprayer I used on the fence is supposed to work with emulsion, how brave/desperate will I be by the end of today?
