My wife's birthday is officially less than a month away and I may have gone and done something incredibly stupid, or incredibly awesome... Now to scour eBay/Amazon for as much Martini merch as I can find.

New cars are too goddamned big. Came upon a Mazda 323 hatch parked next to a Fiat 500 and the Mazda makes the FIat look huge.

DICK DICER posted:My tweaker friend who went to the ER about the parasites we both share identical symptoms for just got his results in. Positive diagnosis for an incredibly rare flesh burrowing flat worm from Asia. Total number of cases in the USA per year: 3~5. His lawyer is talking multiple millions in settlements as there has been permanent, irreversible damage done to his body that will leave him in crippling pain the rest of his life, he my randomly go blind if one burrows through his optic nerve, and has a cat scan scheduled for tomorrow to assess brain surgery and treatment options. I haven't followed this saga very closely, so maybe this is obvious to you and everyone else, but who is getting sued, and for what? I hope that the treatment options are good, and can make you better.

More importantly than the money from a settlement, I hope you can talk to the same doctor that identified the symptoms and diagnosed your friend. Get well (or at least functioning) first.

Darchangel posted:Looks like my Crown Vic will be needing pads and at least front rotors soon. What was the Goon collective preferred configuration for daily driver brakes? I seem to recall Centric rotors and ceramic pads of some sort. Is there really any difference, particularly with rotors? Even the plain-jane poo poo at O'reillys is almost $50 per rotor. Ditto for the "Brake Best" ceramic pads. I might as well get the Power Stop Daily Driver kit from Rock or Amazon (probably Amazon because $LOL shipping @ Rock Auto.) In my own opinion, for a daily driver that never sees more than daily driver use, rotors are rotors, so long as they have some kind of brand name (even if it's store brand) and are purchased new. I really prefer ceramic pads, more because you don't have to touch them again for years; my last set were some wholesaler closeout Raybestos ceramic pads (with a NASCAR sticker on the box  ) for $7 from Rockauto. The set I have now are Carquest Wearever Gold (Advance Auto's house brand, ceramic). I got nearly 60k out of the NASCAR/Raybestos $7 pads, and I'm pretty sure the pads I have on it now will still be on the car whenever it returns to the earth.You probably know this, but you can generally find some killer coupons for Advance, and some of them can stack. Order online for in-store pickup. Rhyno posted:New cars are too goddamned big. Came upon a Mazda 323 hatch parked next to a Fiat 500 and the Mazda makes the FIat look huge. One of the guards at work drives a 98 Prelude. Yeah, it's dropped a bit, and has a shaved trunk, but... my Saturn looks like a goddamned tank next to it. The Ion came out in 2002 for the 2003 model year (and ran with no exterior changes on the coupe for the entire run, sedan got a facelift halfway through). The last generation Prelude came out in 1997 for the 1998 model year. The Corolla (or is that a Camry? I can't even tell them apart anymore) on the other side looks like a Tahoe in comparison to the Prelude.

Olympic Mathlete posted:And Did you stay up and watch it?. It was so satisfying watching all the Tories go from smiling away and saying 'from the first 2 results we can see that the exit poll has vastly underestimated the conservative swing. We predict we will get 360 seats" to looking more and more sad as it went on and the exit poll was proved almost perfect. Also David Mitchell on the C4 election program was goddamn amazing.

Nah I smashed a 20 box of nuggets, some fries and a shake and then passed out about 11.30. I'm really enjoying all the content popping up this morning though... I mean Lord Buckethead stood next to May will never not be hilarious.

Besides May getting dunked on in her attempt to consolidate power pre-Brexit, my favorite part of this election has been Lord Buckethead, who has an amazing platform He got almost 160 votes and got to stand up with the Prime Minister on international news as her equal, which he did with a gigantic bucket on his head, plastic armor, and a shiny cape. A true hero for our troubled times I've started watching a "realtime" weekly WWI show called The Great War on YouTube. It's no Ken Burns Civil War or World at War, but it reminds me of watching the History Channel all day with my Grandpa, and I love it E: I gotta remember to refresh before posting

Haha what the gently caress Scotland. Tories get 13 seats. I knew the SNP were going to get their wings clipped, and that the Labour stance over independence was going to hurt them, but I'd hoped for something better than this.

I'm proper lolling at some of the reactions to all this. Earlier today one of my friends was saying some poo poo about 'whining remoaners wanting another vote on brexit because they didn't get their way'. About 5 minutes ago he's basically said there should be another vote on leadership because Conservatives didn't get the majority.

stump posted:It appears that after months of Corbyn being called a "Terrorist sympathiser" May is jumping into bed with the DUP. A party which up until 2008 was lead by Ian Paisley, a man who helped set up three different Irish loyalist paramilitary groups, the first of which took part in false flag operations which helped spark The Troubles as we know it. But it's fine because they are our terrorists. I'd laugh at the irony but it's all just too sad. The DUP are also generally bigoted religious climate change denying zealots. as well as being a "Terrorist sympathiser" Corbyn was also going to create a terrible "coalition of chaos" as the tabloids shouted.... also she has just lost 12 seats:

Yeah it's not a good situation in and by itself but it's better than May appointing herself supreme leader. More fun UKIP news. Lost their only seat and Nutall resigned. Good loving riddance you racist waste of sweaty pork.

No doubt, the Tories just don't want to run a minority government that will be ineffective like the Major government and then collapse in a heap before Corbyn gets a third bite of the cherry and manages to get his own majority to which he can do... something I guess. That said if he had gotten in he would be hosed since he promised to scrap tuition fees which I support but where would the money come from?

The big thing is that the Torys are going to be left holding the Brexit turd and will now not get any kind of deal acceptible to the electorate. Let alone they just will not be able to do jack poo poo in Parliment - Corbyn can leave them to stew in their own poo poo. Sure you could say the Torys didnt lose power but how could this have gone any worse for them? All Corbyn has to do is support a Queens Speech and let the Torys implode.... he will have a huge majority next time around AND be clear of any kind of responsibilty of a bad Brexit. He did promise to tax the rich more so there is where the money was coming from. But anyway I really just dont see how the Torys could be in more of a world of well deserved hurt. Murdoch must be loving furious

Alternatively to lose more weight, do zero exercise and lose useful muscle instead. It seems to be the process of choice for most instagram models.
