Gotta be better than sitting on the train. Seriously gently caress people who talk on their phones in the quiet carriage. Next time I'm bringing a squirt gun

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:You need earplugs to ride the light rail trains here at times. :o Good luck dude. Knock the interview out of the park. Pretty sure the output shaft seal on the wagon has been leaking. I've had a small constant puddle of atf under it for a while, but wasn't sure how much had drained or how steady it was since my driveway takes forever to clear off. Noticed it slipping while shifting from 2nd to 3rd tonight after warming up, dumped the 3/4 of a bottle of royal purple atf I had lying around in and it immediately smoothed out. I should have time to fix it around mid november or so, so I guess I'll keep dumping atf in it and hope it doesn't rupture for good before then. How much is mazda's in house unicorn blood atf again? Cause the only other thing available in my area that meets their spec that isn't house brand junk is the aforementioned $12/qt royal purple.

Damnit that'll learn me to keep editing posts.  The face to face is a formality. Already did a phone interview, then a skype interview. Basically have to get a final "yeah he coo" from the local manager and fill out paperwork. It's nothing full time - it's essentially a high tech employment agency (Shiftgig), but at least it's another source of income. One with a W2 attached instead of a 1099.

I can't talk because I have neither wife nor baby, HOWEVER. The couple with the best relationship that I know of have a monthly mental health day deal. Once a month (or so) they each get a chance to go do what they want. The other looks after the kid. Often my mate and I will go camping, it's a nice 24 hour break for him with no early wake up. And we get to drink whisky and sit around a fire

To balance the thread a little bit here is some good doggo news: My sister adopted a rescue dog from hurricane harvey last week and had to schedule an appointment to get a tumor removed today. Turns out it was just scar tissue from a previous surgery, and nothing was needed. Here she is on the way home: And bonus family shot  edit: dog in foreground is about a foot and a half long for reference

One night a week, one takes the kids, the other gets to do whatever. The dude wrenches on his bug and his 240Z, the girl hangs out with her girlfriends who are all beer nerds.

Super Mario Odyssey is coming out tomorrow and I am pretty pumped. I have been playing copious amounts of Breath of the Wild and have gotten pretty far into that game. I defeated the big boss (which was kind of easy - a little bit of a let down) but still have a million side quests and shrine quests to do. The Switch is still entertaining and a nice way to zone out for a couple hours before bed. This winter I am planning a mental health retreat in my garage where I can get it more organized and work on my RC cars. The M3 will go away and wait for warmer weather in the next month. I might try to replace the engine mounts on it over the winter because they are freaking fluid filled hydraulic engine mounts (what?) that collapse and fail about the mileage that my car is currently sitting at.

In a hilarious change of work related events, my terrible director was finally fired. The best part was they told no one and walked him out on a Friday. His replacement walked in Monday. Went drinking last night with him and a few coworkers, found out he wants to move me back over the group I was hired to run and put our only new hire next year under me.

Mostly just rest it on a little laptop-table-thingy and lay back with the controller when the wife wants to watch something on the TV and I want to game. I am also very hype about Galaxy. And many other games.

Always nice when a wtf moment turns out that good! Switch chat - we picked one up last night (got a gift card and cash back I sort of forgot about made it basically free) and realized it doesn't come with games. Thanks Nintendo. Got Mario Odyssey on order already, how's the Mario and Rabbids game? Is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe any different than the one on the Wii U?

mekilljoydammit posted:Hmm. Running into major imposter syndrome poo poo trying to make me not do things (like try to buy a dyno) and it's a pain in the rear end. I'm sitting here looking at an auction for a dyno water brake and... I have a data acquisition system and can build control valves and all the supporting infrastructure but ... if it's that easy why doesn't everyone build dynos? Most people just don't have the Maker mentality. I look at stuff all the time and realize that I could do that. I don't get the impostor syndrome as much because several people I associate with are Makers, members of the local Maker Space, etc. My dad was a machinist before getting his engineering degree (which apparently makes him rare among engineers, LOL), and his brother is still a machinist, so I've basically got a background in fixing and building stuff from the get-go. Dad has a 9" lathe and a Bridgeport mill, and has had various welders and fab tools since I could remember. I almost get the opposite effect: how could you *not* make or fix that thing? It's so easy! cakesmith handyman posted:On the phone to my broadband supplier yesterday because the router is being flaky as balls and being dragged through the mandatory checklist she gets to questions about where it's sited, being in mind it's not moved in the 2 years I've owned it.

The nearest thing is a cordless phone base station about .5 metres away, but it's not moved in 2 years and the problem has gotten terrible in the last week or two. Chromecast and tv are 4 metres away. Personally I think the router is dying but I'm not going to buy another to prove it. Tablets and phones that get intermittent signal are fine on other networks.
