The water pump was run off the timing belt and would eventually cease up and take the valves with it. It was recommended you had it replaced with a metal one at the first belt change.

Got home today and noticed the fine boquet of coolant run through combustion chambers in the general vicinity of my car. The reservoir was half empty despite the coolant being warm. Been having some power loss going up hills for the past week before this too. Engine rebuilt 80,000km ago by Mazda and I am leaning towards HG failure. Why am I still driving this car?

But that would add 15 cents, and the plastic ones are good enough to get it through warranty. Usually.

My friend just bought a 2010 RX-8 with 70k miles on it. I'm torn between loving him for buying literally the exact car I would if given the chance, or hate him for buying literally the exact car I would given the chance and for buying a loving 70k mile rx-8 that he'll be paying off over the next 5 years. Apparently after watching the salesman cane the poo poo out of it, another friend cane the poo poo out of it, then caning the poo poo out of it himself, he fell in love and had to have it. The "OH JESUS gently caress WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MYSELF" hit as he was buying stuff for it at work tonight. And realizing he had to put gas in it. And it wants premium. And gets 16 mpg city. All I could do was laugh.

I have a bit of an Apple hardware collection, but my only post 2000 Mac is this dual 2.0 G5 I bought for $20 and it is super picky about RAM. Its the DDR1 version, and it doesn't even like RAM from different manufacturers with the same JEDEC information. have Apple RAM from 30 pin SIMMs up to PC133 168-pin DIMMs, but nothing in plain ol' 400MHz DDR. Anyone remember any better choices than generic sticks from Amazon?

Me: "Heyyyy, so that thing our couple's counselor said about going on getting a baby sitter once a week and going on a date together - when would you like to start doing that?" Her: "I don't. I want more time with the baby and the time I get before and after work isn't enough." Me: "OK, I totally get it if you're not interested in that right now. Let me know if there's anything I can take off your shoulders and we'll just talk about it later." Her: "I don't want to leave the baby behind with a sitter. Maybe down the road we can start watching TV together at night or something once he goes to sleep." Me: "I think we should make some time for each other, and I think 2 hours/week for dinner is totally doable. I'd really appreciate your time; I know we're both going through the new parent thing right now and it's hard to think of anything else, but we need to take care of each other too." Her: *not interested* Me: "So you don't want to have an evening alone together?" Her: No. Me: "Ever"? Her:

So any goon suggestions on cheap (<=$50)) Bluetooth headphones that sound decent? I'm rocking an ancient set of SoundBots (SB240), but (a) they're crazy uncomfortable (b) the battery only holds about an hour charge these days (c) they have not held up well against my appreciation of being cranked to 11. And to follow up on c, they never had enough louds to begin with; headphones have to be cranked all the way up, along with the source (phone, PC, etc) to even reach what I consider a normal listening level. the upside is they used to have decent sound quality for the price, but they're pretty far gone now. Definitely need something more natural than these "over the ear with a plastic loop between your ears and skull, connected via a plastic loop via the back of your head" poo poo, but I can't stand in-ear stuff (which rules out the bulk of bluetooth headsets). My hearing is also hosed, hence the need for more louds.

blk posted:Me: "Heyyyy, so that thing our couple's counselor said about going on getting a baby sitter once a week and going on a date together - when would you like to start doing that?" Truly sucks mate, even it's just PND (not belittling mental illness, my partner suffered through PND twice). just try and remember a new baby is one of the hardest parts of any relationship. It doesn't set the tone for the rest of the relationship unless you let it. If this was abnormal behaviour before the baby and if you're willing and able to get through this without it destroying you/ your relation ship then do so, just remember the next six months - two years will be HARD on you. PND can be bloody hard on both partners, as can a new/first time parent's seeming obsession with the child. It can be worked through, even if it will take a lot of work on your part to get her to a place where she's willing to consider it. It's worth it though, at least if you're up to it. Speaking from experience, both having left and worked through it, if you decide to give her what she wants now you're not failing your child or yourself or her. Just be part of their lives and do the best you can, if it comes to that. That's what counts. Rhyno posted:You guys have seriously been awesome. And the fact that everyone who's gotten it and tried it so far has liked it, it just makes me feel good in the middle of a dark storm. You really have no idea what a boost to my feelings that was. Good luck and I hope poo poo eases up after all the hit's you've suffered recently. As to your father in law, gently caress that bloke, dying or not he sounds like an absolute oval office. Just be there for your girlfriend as much as you can, even if you can't be there at his bedside she'l appreciate every bit of the amazing support we all know you're going to give her (and Rhyno's special hot sauce  , wait till she asks though)

Apparently buying a neurotic midget will solve this. I'm working on it ). As to relationships, when it works out it's worth it, other wise gently caress'em . It's not worth your time to pine over some girl (or guy) who just makes you feel like poo poo anyway. Spend your time on good friends and good things, Mr or Mrs right might turn up and if they don't well then that's life, and a better life than being treated like a oval office by someone who says they love you.

What the HELL is this trainwreck on the TV? Something about adults living their lives as if they are babies??!?!?! These people are just not mentally well. And..... WHAT THE gently caress A loving 60 YEAR OLD MAN GETTING A NAPPY CHANGE?!?!?! This is NOT something I thought I would see or want to see on TV. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww. And yes I know people like that existed, it's one thing to read about it (and laugh at idiots like Shmorky), completely another to see it in a documentary -_- "I Am An Adult Baby" - Meet the men and women who engage in whimsical role-play in order to recreate the magical, stress-free existence of babyhood. No, get some drat help. This is not healthy in any way at all. My S.O. is just watching this horrorific shitshow in disbelief.

I watched a documentary recently about people that like to dress up in latex dog outfits. They were all putting across that it WASN'T SEXUAL in any way whatsoever which was funny because y'know, wearing essentially latex bondage gear usually has sexual connotations... There was an award ceremony in the UK and some guy was crowned 'Mr Puppy UK' which in itself is hilarious. He then went to the European Mr Puppy awards and was surprised to find out it was basically one huge gay fetish event with dudes with leads and collars on and dog tail buttplugs getting pulled around by greasy looking men. In case the above words don't make it obvious, this isn't safe for work!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP1PpM-K-Ns CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:I'm gonna be ill just thinking about that It wasn't the best idea to smash all 20 nugs, no.

I don't recall exactly, but the invoice had Mazda's logo. Engine was rebuilt right before I got the car, could've just been an approved shop. I do remember the PO mentioning that a crate motor at the time was around $10k and he said no to that. Regardless, I just started the car and she's def. burning coolant now.
