CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:What the HELL is this trainwreck on the TV? Something about adults living their lives as if they are babies??!?!?! I really try not too watch things like that, it worries my partner when I start talking about sneaking sterilisation chemicals into the water supply. I mean enjoy your fetishes, don't kinkshame and all that poo poo but there's a point where it's not a fetish so much as a reason for serious concern, a lot of therapy and a ban on going within 500 mtrs of a school, you know.

I do remember the PO mentioning that a crate motor at the time was around $10k and he said no to that. Insurance cover fire? If so, be a shame if it lit on fire. Just sayin :P

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted: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. Yeah....for your price, I think you're kind of screwed. I've got these for the gym: https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-HBS-760-Bluetooth-Wireless/dp/B00WE1QYX0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486125065&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+tone I know you said no in-ear stuff though. Might be worth a shot. Otherwise, find another pair you like and "convert" them to bluetooth with something like this and an adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetoo...etooth+receiver Have you had your ears checked out? Maybe you have a ton of earwax blockage. When I met my girlfriend, she said she was deaf in one ear due to an accident. Turns out it was just a lot of earwax and some scar tissue.

Cop Porn Popper posted: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. You want a real good laugh? My friend's coworker bought an automatic RX-8 and it's being used mostly for commuting at peak hours.

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?" Bring this up with the counselor, but you should probably just be blunt and straight up ask her what sort of relationship she wants with you, and if she is depressed. Remind her: That your mutual relationship is important to the health of the baby.

Counterpoint, if she is depressed this won't help in any way whatsoever. It may even be interpreted as "your bad mood is harming the baby, anything bad that happens is your fault for being sad" because depression can do that to a brain.

You guys are making me feel better about my wendys run last night. Hard to beat a classic double stack. (Or two, plus fries and a chicken wrap) Also got my federal return money deposited today. Feels good except for the part that I now have to cut a check to the state for the first time ever because of that guitar I won plus some lotto winnings from last February ($888).

For the second year in a row I've owed 5bux to my state. Cool. Paid. Since I got married this year I ran the numbers for filing individually vs jointly and drat if we didn't get twice as much back filing jointly. My only fear is that since the wife owes a good deal I'm back taxes from doing 1099 work and being bad at keeping expenses I'll never see my refund. Not that I'd mind getting some of that debt knocked out.

In the last month or so, he's basically gone blind from cataracts. Like, a month ago, he was snatching food out of the air, and now he doesn't even see it coming. I have to tap the food on his nose before he realizes it's there, poor guy. Other than that and insulin for diabetes (possibly the cataracts are related) he's healthy, so I imagine he's got a few more years yet, but he's in his late 40s, early 50s in dog years for his size. Still active and good energy. He's just going to have to learn to use his nose more. Right now he's more confused than anything.

Darchangel posted:Yeah, we've always had good luck with Crucial for machines that are picky about RAM. Same here. Crucial are really good about awkward stuff. If you have done it through their online by model selector or talked to them you then you are guaranteed to get some working RAM for your device from them. They will just exchange it if it isn't the right type and happily ship the replacements without having to wait for a return. I always use them now, especially for anything slightly obscure or that i am unsure about.

Vice news the other night did a bit on how deaf children who get cochlear impants instead of learning sign language are being denied their connection to "deaf culture", and had some sign language teacher bitching about how sign language and deafness is an identity and culture that has to be protected. It even had a mother who declined the implants for her kid because of how well he was doing learning sign language. I'm loving dumbfounded.

I agree. There's a pretty large movement, however, to go from asking "can we fix it?" to "should we fix it?". What causes less anguish, modifying a person to fit the world (thereby implying that the person is broken or inadequate), or modifying the world to fit the person? I think you're right, jesus christ, slap some cochlear implants on a baby and let them hear, but not everyone agrees. Oh, and Rhyno, I made scrambled eggs for lunch so I could dump your hot sauce on 'em. God drat.

I'm all down for supporting and accomodating poo poo we can't reasonably fix, like Autism and other mental stuff. Splicing in a microphone, on the other hand, is fairly trivial. Changing the world to fit a disability is a Hurculean effort, changing a person to fit the world we have is generally much easier.

I mean, I'm not into CAIs but i can get a brand new DC on Amazon for $150 and it has great reviews, non oiled washable filter too. [e] also my Scion has a slushbox don't judge me
