The strange thing is that for the early 2.5s they did make a new MLS gasket as a replacement. And then for the later ones they already have a gasket and don't use it.

From what she's said about it I think she would agree with this article. When it comes up, her emphasis is always that most human sleep issues are directly caused by our modern lifestyle/schedule that runs contrary to millions of years of evolution.

wallaka posted:So many rare napster-downloaded songs that I never found again on any network. I was cleaning out my basement and found a CD binder from the Napster days. A ton of me and my brothers CD's along with a bunch of burned ones with music I have not been able to find again. I have yet to go through all of them, but there is a copy of the Grey Album, which is awesome. Now I just have to find something with a CD drive that actually works..... blk posted:Has anyone ever redone a shower with new backerboard, tray and tile? Wondering how much of this I can DIY. Have you ever done any tile work? If the answer is no, I would not attempt it. I have never done it by myself, but helped do a bunch of showers back when I did construction. It is not easy or fun and really easy to gently caress up. I was working with Journeyman tile guys, and even then we had to rip out and start over a couple times cause something went wrong.

TT condolences man  Is it just me or has eBay gone to poo poo lately? Head I bought showed up cracked, radiator I bought showed up damaged (still trying to get money back after a month), valve spring compressor didn't fit and now a stupid video game I bought on the 1st hasn't even shipped yet according to tracking info. Half my 2016 purchases have gone less than ideal, about ready to give up on eBay. NitroSpazzz fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Nov 16, 2016 |

Ebay was always poo poo. It's not too bad for retro gaming stuff yet, but you gotta watch out for crappy Chinese copies, since the molds for stuff the Dualshock 2 and the Gamecube controller are widely available, so there's a ton of inferior junk out there. On the other hand, I've bought a couple of Buffalo Classic USB Gamepads for like ~$7 each, and they're probably higher quality than the original SNES gamepads that they're a blatantly copying.

NitroSpazzz posted:Was looking at those for doing a Raspberry Pi emulator That's exactly why I bought them, and they are extremely nice. I honestly can't believe I could get them at that price including shipping from japan. I'm rocking a Bang & Olufsen MX8000 28" CRT, a PS2 and a Wii both hooked up with proper RGB cables, and a Raspberry Pi 3 with RetroPie, hooked up through a HDMI to s-video adapter (for better quality than the standard composite output). The scaling on the Pi is not 100% accurate when using 640x480 output. I see a bit of rippling in moving backgrounds, particularly in arcade games, but it's a minor annoyance. It's probably not an issue on a HD or 4K display.

NitroSpazzz posted:TT condolences man Have you filed a claim with ebay for it being broken? as soon as you do that they will grab the cash back from the seller via paypal, and in my experience you will have no problem then getting it back to you. I've been selling old car bits and all sorts of other stuff and sold one item that turned out to be faulty. The buyer opened a case and paypal took the money back off me even before I'd had a chance to respond. NitroSpazzz posted:Add Facebook market place to that as well. Took 12+ hours to get someone to pick up a very nice oak table with 8 chairs for $50, 30+ interested by no one would come out or they wanted me to hold it.

Yeah eBay froze the funds then I had to wait for so many days for them to fail to follow up then I could ship it back. Shipped Monday and should arrive by this weekend then I'll get the cash back.

kastein posted:I know right? That's the way to do it. Wife and I did the same. Took my mom about two years to get over it fully Got the new wheel bearing on the dakota and it seems fine. Been chasing a weird loving CEL though. It keeps popping code 24, which is IAT. Replaced that, and it drove great...for about 30 miles, then popped again. Gonna pull that new one out after dinner and see if it's dirty already. Motor doesn't have PCV, just a filter on the valve cover...if that's dirty, could it be causing enough oil to go in the intake that it'd be loving the IAT?

I've worked on both, fully torn down both, and Reznor is much higher quality. Also in 30+ years you will still be able to get parts. I toured their factory and parts warehouse in Mercer, PA a couple months ago and was really impressed.

Things are looking up, sorta. My credit union told me to  for abusing my courtesy pay too much (account is still open, but got a very nasty phone call today, and it'll be closed tomorrow). Can't say I blame them, I'm over $800 in the hole with them. Figured I'd be placed on ChexSystems, but I went to another CU I used to have and... nope, nothing on ChexSystems, and they were more than happy to reopen my old account. I do plan to pay the original CU back, but it's going to take a bit. Just glad I have a checking account again.. and this CU is actually pretty close. It's one I used in the past and was happy with, but they didn't have any nearby the last time I used them.I technically have a W2 job again. It's through a staffing company, but they're trying to get me lined up doing auto parts delivery. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll be working.  an hour to start, but said it will go up significantly. It's a temp to perm setup.I was a bit shocked to get popped with a 10 panel drug test during the goddamned interview. Most places just send you to a testing place. Nope, pee in a cup, they dip it. Told them up front I would test positive for one drug and that I had the prescription bottle in the car. I was right, they asked to see the bottle, they were happy. But man.. the medical "insurance" offered by this place is a joke. $100 copay to see a doctor. That's more than a lot of doctor's cash rates. $300 for lab work. 70% copay for generic meds, $300 copay for ER, $500 copay for ambulance. They flat out admit their insurance doesn't come close to meeting ACA requirements, and told me if I already had a marketplace plan, I should keep it until I get hired on by whoever they place me with. It's also $20/week for their "insurance". I pay $40/mo for my $0 dr visit/$15 urgent care visit/$100 ambulance/$100 ER visit (waived if admitted)/$2 generic meds policy.. Still job hunting, but if this staffing company can at least get me placed with something for now I'll be happy. I'm getting really nervous about December's rent.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Things are looking up, sorta. For about three years I did parts delivery for Advance. I also worked the counters, too, but what I really enjoyed about it was delivering parts. At the worst, it was take the ticket from the printer, get everything, double check with the commercial parts pro / manager that the shop wanted the parts right then, grab stuff for other shops nearby, then go. Drove a company vehicle and everything. Got out, unloaded, they signed, maybe took back some returns, and that was it. Ran into very little poo poo, too, unless a shop was pissy about something. Frankly, knowing a little about cars and how to work the computer to bill people out paid off in the times when there were no deliveries and kept my hours up. I'm considering going back to it in the summer when I'm not teaching for some extra cash.
