That chain is only going to the pump and I have some very heavy snips that should get through it fine. If they don't I can tape things off and dremel it. Looking at it I should be able to get all the chain tensioner bolts out as long as they aren't too long.

Toaster ovens are the best way to reheat pizza. We have one with a convection setting and I can put up to four slices in there and have them ready in ten minutes.

It seems like if there is nothing else in there that you'd like to come off, like chain guides or something cutting the chain would work. You should probably get the engine on a stand if it isn't already, you could have it upright as to not drop any more stuff into the engine. A set of bolt cutters would probably get that chain off with limited hassle.

Score one for the amateur street mechanics! I replaced the coilpack and threw some new plugs in there while I had it apart anyway, and now it runs perfectly, smooth as hell, can't even feel the engine idling from the cabin. Maybe even better than before it started acting up, but that may just be psychological. Now I'll just have to call my mechanic tomorrow and tell him that he's not getting that new set of golf clubs anyway  Magnus Praeda posted:Toaster ovens are the best way to reheat pizza.

Either that, or my 8kg baking steel in the oven, but that takes "some time" to warm up completely. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Oct 11, 2016 |

gently caress rear end in a top hat dealers that list under private owners. Just inquired about a car and this is how it went: Buyer: Hello, I'm interested in the Honda for sale, what's the mileage on it and where/when can it bee seen? Seller: You mean the '05 Honda Accord? (red flag right there) Buyer: Yes. What's the mileage. Seller: 150, all maintenance is up to date. Buyer: Are you a dealer? Seller: ........ Silence after that

I've always been told that its best to say "I'm calling about the car" on the phone as it'll immediately identify if you're talking to a dealer or not.

Not quite. A guy I know fixes and flips or parts out F-series trucks and Panther platform cars, and he's got a whole lot of stuff going at any given time, usually 2-3 trucks for sale. He doesn't cut corners, only uses good parts when fixing things, puts them together right, etc and gets generic questions like that all the time. He usually ignores them, because his experience is that people who ask open ended questions like that don't actually show up with money and buy something.

Well that's throwing a blanket on buyers. Open ended or not, if you can't answer questions honestly, or post an add honestly what else are you dishonest about? Besides, dealers and flippers are two different things, but most buyers aren't going to understand that.

Funny enough if he's doing that at a high enough rate he is actually a dealer, just proving the point.

I answered a craigslist ad a few months back and it turned out to be a dude who was basically doing this, running an unlicensed dealership / car flipping operation with his brother. He started off trying to get me to somehow prove to him I was sufficiently interested in whatever model of car it was, basically wanting me to commit to buying it before he'd even show it to me. I told him he apparently doesn't need to sell it that badly, and if he wants to play dealer he needs to be willing to put some loving time into it. I wrapped up saying I thought it was scummy as hell to post in the private party section and that I'd be reporting his post. He then called back twice trying to get me to come take a look at it, and his brother texted a few hours later asking if I wanted to see the car. The takeaway is that I've concluded the PUA "negging" strategy actually works, at least with douchebag unlicensed car dealers.

Nothing like a cat fight on your bed at 5am to wake you the gently caress up... Seems like Samsung have actually managed to make the donald trump phone with the Note 7. The original one caught fire in a massive PR disaster and now the REPLACEMENT ones are catching fire in a massive, entire eyes of the world on them, PR disaster.

I've read that Samsung loses a shitload of money on their phone market and if not for some sort of pride thing they would have closed up shop a while ago i may be thinking of a different chaebol but iirc the only reason stockholders arent fully aware of this is because they lob their phone business under their TV or electronics business in their earnings reports

I get called every 3 years like loving clockwork, for 15 years now. So far I haven't actually been placed on a jury. Actually, so far I've only made it into the courtroom once, and one of the attorneys used a peremptory challenge to dismiss me. Now that I'm in (yet another) different county I'm kinda hoping they'll stop calling me so often. Collin and Denton counties had serious hardons for me for some reason.

ilkhan posted:Jury duty is boring as gently caress. Or at least the waiting to get called and potentially placed on a jury is boring as gently caress. Yup. Actually being on a jury isn't so bad. Especially when the defendant starts squirming after they finally realize that the clear-as-day video of the entire event in question is not going to jive with the lie they've been clinging to from the get-go. The schadenfreude was amazing. Ten minutes of deliberation after probably five hours of total in-court time. Most of which was spent going 50 years in the past by the remainder of the jury (which was entirely female except for me) looking at me and saying "Well, you're the only man here, so how about you be the foreman?" The only truly lovely thing about the whole case was the defendant's lawyer. Total loving hackjob who should've been beating on his client to take any sort of plea bargain, but instead was too busy trying to find completely irrelevant ways to cross-examine the victim. Video evidence of the defendant and his wife grabbing a left-behind purse and rushing for the door after doing so is pretty hard to beat.

I would be happy to do jury duty, IIRC it's fully paid time off for work. I'd also be interested in witnessing and taking part in the process. However, while I got notifications a few times in California, every time I'd end up checking the website on the day of and find that my group had not been called. From what I've heard, though, it's quite likely I'd be disqualified in a lot of cases, because I actually know things about computers and computer security and science and such, and that just Won't Do.

^^^^^^ No one cares about that for the random rear end DV trial you're going to get. Everyone has this vision of this huge case, but 75% of cases that go to trial are misdo DV cases where the entire fight is over who slapped who first. They're also loving hilarious because in many of the DV cases both the defendang and the alledged (and I mean alledged really) victim are basket cases who've been basically fighting the entire relationship. There's some tragic cases, but they're almost all felonies. Misdo DV is generally literally a slap fight at worst. IOwnCalculus posted:Yup. Actually being on a jury isn't so bad.

The schadenfreude was amazing. You understand that you can't make clients plea and not doing anything is IAC (and creates client control issues)? If your client ignores you, which they do often (pretty much every defense attorney advises clients to plea 90% of the time), you have to do something. Generally, of my client views the damaging video tape and won't take the deal I advise him to do, I'm not going to fight him forever and I have to do something. If he goes down, I'm not losing any sleep. Also, it is possible that the DA's offer just sucked. I've taken losers to trial to punish the DA for bad offers. I lose, client gets the same punishment, DA spends time prepping a stupid trial, and I probably get better offers next time. nm fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Oct 11, 2016 |

Fair enough, though I also got the feeling this guy might've shopped lawyers until he found one who didn't tell him to just take a loving plea deal. This guy was bad. Disorganized as all hell. I can't remember his name but I dug up his website shortly after the trial and it's straight out of Geocities. The judge on this case was almost painfully polite and my god I thought she was going to jump down and kill him (kindly) after he went on a string of what had to be at least ten questions in a row that resulted in sustained objections. I get that a defense lawyer has to defend, but that was something special. Even sounded a bit like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlERV_ePVxU I think the prosecutor was the only one who enjoyed watching the defendant squirm even more than I did. "So, when in this video do you take the purse to the manager? Is it here? Or here? Not yet?"

The only time I ever actually got called, I sat on my dick in the jury waiting room for several hours, ran out of battery on my cellphone, then we all filed into the courtroom and a plea deal was announced. Went home and worked on my jeep. An excellent day of work.

Anyone in seattle interested in a 1999 528i wagon 5spd for $3k? Has some minor issues(valve cover gasket leak, auto close hatch misaligned and some dents), but ~150k miles with a good service history and a new cooling system. My neighbor just emailed me asking if I was interested(he knows I am looking for a new wagon after VW buys back my sportwagen), but I need a auto for the wife to drive and I already have my miata and alltrac, so I would get in trouble for getting yet another car. It looks good from the pictures he sent me(silver on grey interior). Hell part of me wants to sell my miata off and buy this.....

Mostly thought sell the miata since it could fund the e39 and free up a parking space at my house(alltrac is stored in at a friends place). I just feel bad dragging that drat car around with me for so many years then just selling it.

I got to sit on a jury for someone's DUI. If you really think you can fight a DUI with a jury trial your an idiot. Especially if it's your third. It was like 6 hours of boring trial stuff and 10 minutes of deliberation where we all agreed that he was guilty. I think he got a couple years in prison for it. (New York state)
