I read most of TFOTR, and my main take away from that book was the word "fortnight"

Sometime over the last 5 days I've lost my car keys somewhere at home  It is bin day today and I woke up in a panic this morning and went through my wheely bin at 7am before they took it. No keys yet. CommieGIR posted:I can't watch GOT, or The Walking Dead for that matter. It just got too brutal for me. I'm with you on Walking Dead - I cant watch it either anymore. GOT however I have no problem with.

I'm way behind on GOT, watched season 1, 1st episode of 2 then random episodes from various seasons when I'm bored at a hotel. It's on our list to watch at some point, maybe this winter or something. We usually watch lighter stuff like Rick & Morty, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Archer, Futurama and Gravity Falls because apparently we're kids. Savannah weekend starts in a few hours, at least one day on the beach at Tybee Island. Any recommendations? Probably hit the Heroes of Bavaria exhibit at the BMW Foundation in Greer on the way back Monday. Looks like a nice collection of cars.  From before talking about commute length and stuff... Ever find a nearly perfect house in the worst area? We love the house and the distance from work isn't a deal breaker but gently caress I just can't picture living in the city like that. If it was out a ways we would have put in an offer by now but we're just not sold on it. Maybe we'll throw a low offer but I don't know. Garage ceilings are low (9'2") but quick math shows I could squeeze 10 E30's in there if they were mirror-to-mirror and bumper-to-bumper. There's almost no other detached garages for sale, especially in our price range, since no one has garages in the south. Have thought about buying the perfect house with a 2+ car attached then just building my dream detached but then we're almost better off staying where we are.

Why is being detached vs. attached so important for you? I'd personally rather have attached, all other things being equal, so I can wander into my garage in my undies or whatever without worrying about neighbors or the weather if I want to. Plus carrying in the groceries is pretty nice in an attached.

GoT is a great watch. It's got to most cinematic type feel that I've ever seen in a TV show and I love that no character has plot armour and can die at any time so a simple fight between a main character and a nobody can kill the mc and swing the story in a different direction.

slothrop posted:Or the freezer. Check the freezer. After retracing my steps and vehicle movements I realised that the last time I came home in the car I had been to the supermarket on the way home from work so this was totally feasible, so I emptied my chest freezer but found only breadcrumbs, peas and loose fish fingers at the bottom.. So then I spent an hour tidying the workbench in the garage and pulling it forward incase they had slipped down the back. They hadn't (but its now much tidier which is a good thing) Then I combed the entirety of the area between my parking spot and back door and checked my entire drive and all other vehicles. spog posted:they are in the pocket of some trouser/jacket that you swore you haven't worn for 3 months Holy poo poo! - Well done! As I was having a brew and googling the price of a replacement key I thought of your advice and having already checked every item of clothing in my bedroom I decided to check all the coats and jackets hanging by my back door, and found them in the pocket of my warmest winter coat - which I haven't worn for months! (its been hot for the past week!)

I used to watch Walking Dead religiously (well, binge watch as soon as it was on Netflix) but after that season with the jail it just basically rudderless and I still haven't watched any of the last season that Netflix got last year. Pretty sure I will eventually though. Just watched up to episode 3 of GoT and so far, so good. Certainly good at making some of the characters more likeable than others.

BraveUlysses posted:Oh god don't even think about putting yourself through more TWD. God this show is garbage. I am usually able to get into and enjoy most modern TV shows if I watch a few episodes, but this one just pissed me off so much. I was actively rooting for basically all the characters to get eaten, and quit a few eps into the second season. Show should've been called Unnecessary Forest Drama, or maybe The Talking Dead. Game of Thrones is the poo poo though, and I've never been a fantasy kingdom sort of guy.

monsterzero posted:No idea. It stops well. Is that a recall? Its the lines going to the rear. Just check them for rust and report back. I dont think its a recall but there was a class action lawsuit. In other news, got to watch the hot rod power tour roll through town while my wife and I were at lunch. Lots of impressive cars, I am fairly certain I saw Lucky Costas chevelle. Also a guy driving some white truck like hot rod that looked exactly like Boyd Coddington. Coddington himself died in 2008.

The brake lines? Everywhere. I've replaced all the fronts on my midwest 01. The rear I still need to do, maybe this summer... They'll rust out a little before the body most likely. My wheel wells and cab corners are starting to get a bit ugly.

I can easily read/watch fiction or even a news story about some hosed up depraved human piece of poo poo monster doing god only knows what to fellow human beings, but I have a hard time clicking links that I know are about graphic animal abuse or some crackhead parent throwing their baby in the trash. Exactly. And honestly, I don't see harm to kids being in a work of fiction for any other reason than shock value.

Well, no problem at the DMV so I'm clear there, but in other car news: gently caress me.  Looks like the wife might end up driving the Silverado. I noticed a little antifreeze smell from our '04 H6 Outback this week, and sign of some splatter from the overflow bottle. Levels were normal, but I saw a couple bubbles after running errands this morning so I borrowed a block tester. It didn't get much yellower but that ain't blue. Looks I get to do some head gaskets. Hopefully I caught it early early enough so I can do this a controlled manner.

Just encountered an unexpected hazard whilst cycling at night. Thought there was another bike ahead as I saw a red flash of light but when the beam became solid I saw it was someone shining a laser pen in my eyes. 15 mins later and I can still see dots

The car thread wouldn't be bad to ping ideas from but they're answer to almost everything is buy a Prius. Bounce the question around here too. The real answer is M3. No care what year, but you want an M3. Just drive one and you'll understand. I don't know what Evos are going for these days but when I looked at them they were still LOLmoney expensive and while a pure driving car they seemed pretty terrible to live with. Check your insurance rates too. Even responsible old Rhyno could still be expensive. Since getting my E90 I can't think of what I will ever go to next. It will have to be a Porsche or a GT-R. I'll probably skip the Datsun because it's ugly. The Porsche doesn't offer much in the way of utility for me with having small kids. The M3 is everything I wanted it to be. So I say M3 or a 996 Porsche 911 (turbo if you can swing it)

I bought my M over an STI or mustang because insurance made it a no brained. In retrospect I wish I would have got a z06, that would have suited me much better. The M cars are much more of compromise cars at their core.
