We corrected some dietary issues and things were looking good. Thursday, she went in for a checkup and was immediately sent to a larger regional hospital. She's 33 weeks in and they baby is ready to come out. So for the last two days, she's been pumped full of steroids and not much has changed. We'll know more tomorrow, but I've got the worst feeling she won't be coming home for some time. I hope everything works out.

Given that no one in their right mind is going to want to be a moderator given the poo poo going down, I'd say we should as a group approach FactsAreUseless and get a rotating mod pool of long time posters who are willing with 14" as Idiot God (Immorten King?) 14" would act as the willing doxx shield and the rotating pool would mean no one is a long time target or burned out. Plus... I really am rather curious as to what 14" would be like as a moderator. Said it elsewhre, if I got the short straw I'd ONLY do it if 14" also got a star.

Man, for people who thought I was full-on autistic when I was younger, my parents sure do seem to be the ones having trouble with boundaries and tact. A normal person: "Hey Enourmo, someone gave me a total gym but I've already got one. You've talked about wanting to get in shape, you want it? No? Alright, cool, I'll ask someone else, see ya." My dad: "Hey Enourmo, someone gave me a total gym but I've already got one. You want it? No? Alright, I'll ask your sister, I guess. I really think you should consider it, though; I know you don't like being fat (have I mentioned you're fat lately?) and I think the thing you need is exercise equipment, that's the only thing holding you back, right? I'm really concerned about your weight, you shouldn't be so big, you're almost 30 and that's when the health problems start hitting. I realize you have a bike, since I gave it to you, but wouldn't it be convenient to have another thing to store somewhere while barely using it? what's depression i don't understand, just decide to be happy and motivated and you will be!" Like holy gently caress, I'm aware I'm fat, I look in the mirror every day, why do they feel the need to remind me and confront me about it as if it's some intervention and I'm not aware of it? Christ.

All of the buproprion is out of my system and now I can once again drink a half bottle of gin before feeling legitimately drunk again. It's a very weird change and going out may have gotten much more expensive, but at least I shouldn't have to worry about seizures anymoreYu-Gi-Ho! posted:The F22/23 (not talking about the F used in the S2000, completely different engine) is just tuned more for low end power (... for a Honda) and economy more than anything else. I guess it had reasonable power for what it was - 2.3L with 150 hp/152 tq isn't terrible for a 90s engine - but the Accord, as you point out, was a pretty big car. The 2.2L in the Saturn I drive now has pretty similar power ratings, in a much lighter car, but the gearing is so much taller in the Saturn that it feels about as sluggish as the Accord did. City mileage in my Saturn is a lot better, but the Accord did better on the highway. I wish I could grab an F22C, but for that price, I'd be better off with a K engine that's roughly the same size and mates to a usable 6 speed. The car I'd like to toss it in is a 65whp roadster that's barely 2100lbs. It's currently got the stock, fuel injected, 1.5L transverse iron block, SOHC that it shares with the 128 sedan in it. Even the much larger Honda engine should end up being a bit of weight shaved off when it's all said and done. I'm not aiming for it to hit 135whp on stock engines, I'm just aiming to hit that number as cheaply as possible. I don't mind peeling the ULEV sticker off an F22b1, throwing in a new cam, stiffer valve springs, bigger injectors, new bearings, and getting a cheap programmable ECU to actually use the power that the engine really should have. Save for actually tuning the new setup, that whole thing will still cost about the same as a good condition H22 and significantly less than a good B18C, or any K series. I was really excited about finding such a cheap solution to my challenge, but taking another look at the numbers, those second gear ratios really do look kinda lovely on all of the H/F transmissions. It's similar gearing to what's in my Civic DX, which isn't a super attractive driving experience. However, the other 4 gears in F18/F20 transmissions look as close to my Fiat's stock ratios as I can get in a SOHC engine, so I still like them as candidates, even with that blemish. Bonus points to the JDM Preludes and Euro Accords for having a helical LSD option E: I've viewed most of the OBDII deleters much the same way I view those who are proud of deleting the brake booster, but OBDI actually makes tuning easier? Wouldn't you want as much data as you can reasonably gather? The Door Frame fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Jan 21, 2017 |

So does anyone here like Papa John's pizza and want a bunch of them for very close to nothing? Well have I got the program for you! So Papa John's is running a promo for a free large 1 topping pizza if you use Visa Checkout. I am not sure when this promotion ends. Here is how it works. You go and order whatever pizza you want from them, and pay via Visa Checkout, and they send you in an email, a promo code for a free large 1 topping pizza. Here is why you can make this give you very cheap pizza. You can use other promo codes both when getting this one, and when using it, stacking the promotion. Step 1 - Get online and find a 40% or 50% off promo code (or whatever special code you want to use). Step 2 - Place your order using the 50% off promo code and check out using Visa Checkout. Step 3 - An email will arrive within 24 hours with a promo code for a free large 1 topping pizza. Here is where it gets good and cheap. Step 4 - Get online and use your promo code for a free pizza. Now, modify that pizza order to make the cost at least $4. This can be as simple as upsizing to Extra large, or adding a few toppings. Step 5 - Check out using Visa Checkout. Step 6 - Get an email with a promo code for a free large 1 topping pizza. Repeat until you explode from eating too many $4 pizza's I suppose. You can use this on delivery or carryout, but I don't think the delivery charge counts towards the $4 minimum to get another promo code.

ExplodingSims posted:That's is a very goid system, but I see one very critical flaw in your plan: No idea how it is in your part of the country, but here locally I have the choices of: Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Domino's and Little Ceasar's. I like Pizza Hut but the local store is complete poo poo with terrible service and they can never get an order right to save their lives, and they somehow manage to make Pizza Hut pizza terrible compared to where I used to live. Domino's and Little Ceasar's are both poo poo, which leaves Papa John's. I get a pizza maybe once every 3 months, so I won't be abusing this, although I will try to remember to claim my free pizza sometime in the next 30 days (the code in the email is only valid for 30 days). Just thought I'd pass it along for anyone who does like their pizza and want's to get it on the cheap.

I'm going to kill my girlfriend...InitialDave posted:How about a front cut from a Ford Focus? The 2.0 Zetec will make that number out the box and isn't overly heavy, about 250lbs or so I believe. Well supported with parts and durable. I'm not super keen on duratechs after dealing with fragile plastic cooling components that would make BMW blush, but if I see a cheap SVT motor around, I would be excited to snap up that aggressive 6 speed. Same goes for a Suzuki G13BB and the Celica ZZ engine that I can never remember the name of. The G13BB breaks the low end rule, but it's a 1.3L that competes with engines almost double the displacement, which I find extremely amusing. And the low end can be fixed by liberal application of boost later, if need be I've never driven a car without at least one OD gear before and the 2.0 Zetec/sigma duratech apparently only goes to 1:1 in 6th. Cool! clam ache posted:I have a spare f22b2 motor that needs a head rebuild that could be yours for cheap. And your in Chicago and I am by ohare in case you are interested.

I recall somewhere reading that forgetting to tell the insurance company something (such a a mod) will not affect a claim unless that mod had (or potentially had) an effect on the incident. e.g. telling them the car is red not blue will not prevent a payout for your being rear-ended by a tranny (phrasing) However respraying your car with invisibility paint could prevent a payout
