InitialDave posted:Yeah, while they deliberately put in things like Xavier's school, the helicarrier, Bob (implied to be he of Agent of Hydra status) in the film, Deadpool is very much a 3rd party viewpoint in comparison to our two current big hitters of how Marvel stuff is portrayed, though with a strong lean to the X-Men side of the party. My series 2 has run out of MOT (accidentally)  It should hopefully pass it if i pressure wash the oil leaks off everything and then offer up its annual sacrifice of a can of brake cleaner for the handbrake drum, and another one for the brake drums.

Good stuff!

InitialDave posted:Because they didn't involve any of the main cast of the X-Men films thus far, or do anything that ties into their continuity, so until that happens it kind of remains a self-contained deal. Same studio, same producers, tons of references to the X-Men and Wolverine. Not seeing how it's 3rd party at all.

My feeling is that now they've seen how popular it is, they'll be less inclined to keep it at arm's length and that may change. If nothing else, I'd really like them to bring Deadpool's Colossus into the X-Men franchise, I don't have any problem with Daniel Cudmore's version, but there was something just right about what they did there.

InitialDave posted:I'd just do the seals, to be honest, they're cheap enough, and it'll need doing at some point. Well the Helicarrier thing was designed to make it seem like it was part of the MCU but it's clearly in the X-Men film universe, there were even references to the new timeline more than once.

Safety Dance posted:I use Podcast Addict. You point it at a podcast[0], and it figures out what episodes there are and in what order they go. It then lets you download episodes for future playback. I don't think it notifies you when new episodes come out (though that might be configurable), but it is aware of them.

InitialDave posted:I'd just do the seals, to be honest, they're cheap enough, and it'll need doing at some point. Hopefully the brakes just need a clean and adjust. Did the stub axle rings and fitted proper leather hub seals on 2 of the hubs a year or two ago so I don't think I have any hub oil leaks. My FWH's piss oil out over the front because I haven't found anywhere to buy the outer gasket from and haven't got round to buying some paper and a making my own. Hopefully its just that and the lack of moving that is making them a bit uneven. The seal on the back of the handbrake drum can gently caress right off. Did it about 3 years running and it always just leaks again after a few months. Its not pouring out now, so the brake still works - just not well enough for my MOT man without it being cleaned up.

mariooncrack posted:E/N time: Sucks man. We had something similar happen last month. Really nice guy from our support desk (probably about 55'ish at a guess, I didn't know him that well beyond greetings in the hallway) went in to get a kidney stone removed, no big deal, everything apparently went fine, but when he didn't come back to work after his scheduled time off they put in a call to the police for a welfare check. Guy lived alone and they think he had an adverse reaction to a medication or maybe just his time was up, who knows, they found him on the floor of his place when they forced entry to check on him.

In happier news, completely unrelated to anything in this thread, I got myself a new table saw! Pictured with a V-8 for AI scale reference.   The other machine is a thickness sander, and the large vertical chuck of wood behind them is Castello Boxwood to be chopped up by the band-saw prior to getting the attention of these two machines.

Vacuum chat: Are Sanitaires any good? They look pretty much like the most generic vacuum cleaner you can imagine but apparently have a bit if a cult following (there are enthusiasts on YouTube  ) and aren't too outrageously priced. It seems like it may be a step up from the Eureka we have currently but I could be wrong.I don't get the Dyson love but maybe the one I used wasn't a good model. It was a canister style with the air-powered brush roll which would constantly jam and require cleaning out and the opening at the suction head was about an inch across and would therefore plug up really easily.

I have made a thread about yanking the engine out of my car and you should check it out if you're interested in Saabs and/or people accomplishing their first engine removal. It can be found here.Enourmo posted:Well, it's up by the block, with a hard steel line running to the actual turbo housing. It's just their cheapest possible solution for tying the turbo lines into the main cooling system on the base Protege.* Why the hell it's made out of rubber when they sprung for silicone radiator hoses from the factory is beyond me. That makes more sense then.

My wife's in her last year of medical school, and she's on the trauma rotation this month, so they've been running her ragged from 5 AM to 7 or 8 PM six days a week for the past three weeks (just about -- she gets to go home at 1 or 2 on Saturdays). So, it's perfectly understandable that she fell asleep watching The Clone Wars on the couch. What's annoying is that makes me her personal snooze alarm: "Hey, you should get up and take a shower and come to bed." "Nooo, five more minutes..."The Locator posted:Yes, special ants that make model wooden ships. This is awesome.

My parents Bosch dishwasher has tried to burn the house down twice. Though it's so quiet you can't tell it's running. Pham Nuwen posted:Yo, STR and other goons in the know. Kenmore's the brand to get for refrigerators, right? We have to get one for the new house. We'd like a bottom-freezer model with ice maker and, ideally, water dispenser; any suggestions? As others pointed out, Kenmore doesn't actually build anything. Their fridges are primarily made by GE and Whirlpool; I think LG gets involved a bit for the higher end fridges. Though the nice thing about Kenmore is it's usually easy to get schematics. Previa_fun posted:Vacuum chat: Are Sanitaires any good?

They used to have a problem with getting all of their electrical cables stolen (They were for running a rock crusher so about 10-15 kV), so one night these two guys camped out in the generator room with a couple rifles, and when the thief turned up to cut the cables again...well he never actually told me what they did, but he did say "he won't be doing that ever again."

Weirdly we only get 5-door Mazda2s (unless you mean the previous generation) and only the ST comes in 3-door, and it only comes in 3-door, and it's made in Germany. All other Fiestas are 5-door and made in Malaysia.

That just shows desperation for business on his part and it's pretty sad to put your employees in that position actually. When you're so desperate you're willing to let customers verbally abuse your employees for no reason, you might as well accept that you and your business is horrible. Also the amount of people at the Cavs parade in Cleveland is mind boggling, don't these people have jobs?
