I wonder how vanilla it will actually be. I remember pvp being a lot of fun before they ruined everything with battlegrounds. I imagine they would want to use the last version before BC was released though and I have no idea why anyone would want to play that again.

Apparently there are a ton (as in, a few million) people who were playing the pirate/offbrand vanilla servers worldwide when Blizzard lawyerd them into nonexistence earlier this year. From the trailer they posted at Blizzcon, it's pre-BC. It showed all of the expansion's cinematics moving backwards one-by-one, and then re-playing the original WoW's cinematic with the dwarf hunter to completion. They're calling it, "World of Warcraft: Classic." I remember playing a poo poo-ton of WoW but still somehow never reaching level 60 because I kept rerolling characters. I went to the midnight launch of Burning Crusade, came home and installed it, and literally never opened the game again.

Uh... yea. I was a warrior tank raid leader of a guild when Molten Core was 'the poo poo'. That poo poo managed to burn me out on any sort of serious hard-core gaming for... well, the rest of time. I'm still just a 'casual' gamer now. I have no idea why people want to go back to the grind that was MC and the original vanilla WoW end game. People are strange.

I guess we're gonna be coworkers soon. e: I was originally intending on applying at Lakewood, which is closest to where I live (far SE Garland, off of I-30 and Bobtown), but had to run an errand off of Mockingbird and 75. Plus a couple of people I knew at my original store from way back in the day are at Lakewood. Figured I'd hit Park Lane since I was nearby, then Lakewood on the way home, but they offered me a job on the spot at Park Lane. Holy gently caress that's a nice store, first time I've been in there; it makes my first store (Plano) look like a storage shed. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Nov 4, 2017 |

Seminal Flu posted:Nice! Now how do you incorporate or pull the data from it? Is that just the mechanical portion? Yep, it's just the mechanical portion - the actual brake (actually the world's most inefficient water pump) and a water pump. On top of that, I need infrastructure to hold and cool a shitload of water (1000ish gallons would be ideal) and valves to control the flow, plus a separate heat exchanger cooling loop for the engine coolant, and the obvious fuel/ecu/etc stuff to make the engine work. None of the rest of that's going to break the bank, it's just fiddly. Instrumentation I need at least a load cell, but the sky's the limit going up from there - I actually have a data acquisition computer I made out of surplus ebay National Instruments hardware that will do a bunch of analog and digital inputs and outputs at a data rate that's overkill enough so I could easily do things like, for example, intake manifold pressure vs crank angle, or cylinder pressure vs crank angle. Work to do but exciting.

I posted questions back in the October thread, but just wanted to update. I have just installed Netgear Arlo Pro camera at the house (and added a pre-pro refurb camera to the system for the back deck). So far 5 out of 5 stars would highly recommend. Been running a Spytec GPS tracker for about 10 days and after initial problem setting up tech support was responsive and from valuable info gathered again this is 5 out of 5. Would recommend either/or to anyone looking for solutions like these. It is crazy how far this tech has come in the past 2-3 years.

Decided to sell our SC 300, posted it in the marketplace thread here, goons get first crack before we offer it up anywhere else. Even though it has a 5 speed manual there is something about it that just doesn't click with my wife and I, she'd rather drive her 91 Tracker and I'd rather drive my 90 Acty. Not-power-assisted-steering, early 90s Japanese econoboxes  We are going to see what it's like using the 1990 Toyota Crown ~Royal Saloon~ Wagon we have on the way though, no pretensions of performance there just big smooth well-built comfort in a fat wagon form.Sorry Applebees Appetizer, we didn't fall into the Lexus dream

We bought my wife a 2012 Honda CR-Z to replace her falling apart Scion. It's a stupidly impractical car on paper and slow as hell and doesn't get that great of mileage for a hybrid but it's really really cool in a geeky way and surprisingly fun to drive. 4/5 would recommend if you're ok with two seats and being passed by everything on the road. Only beef so far is it's a 2012 and has navigation (lol) and bluetooth hands free phone calling but no bluetooth media streaming. The gently caress, Honda.

Apologies in advance For fucks sake i have to pull the loving battery because i left my loving dashcam running for a drat week because my stupid loving head thought it was wired to a circuit that goes off with the ignition. Now on the first actual loving cold day of the year i have to drag an old battery and tools back out to where im parked streets a loving way so i can try and limp it to do a fraudulent warranty return, or drag it back and see if a wall charger will do. Oh look, its at 2 loving volts. And im due to be working 15 minutes a loving go. And i already knocked a knuckle. gently caress

I need a "new" old battery as it failed to start on it, left it in to stop the alarm going mad and have brought home the one i might have killed for a nice slow wall charge- its about a year and a half old and has been treated well otherwise, but 2V is about the lowest I have seen from a 12V battery and I don't hold much hope. Luckily when i warranty replaced it the last time the guy at the counter all but said be sure to return it again before the initial 4 year period was up so at least I'm not out anything but my time.

The only thing you should be focusing on are the weights of the poo poo you can lift and if you want to be a dweeb, your ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS. Buy a measuring tape, gently caress scales forever, you are not a woman.

Rhyno posted:The lower numbers on the scale are very satisfying! There's a point where you can't sustain it though hence it's a lovely way to do things. Diets basically starve you and muscle goes first, women just love to see the numbers fall so don't give a gently caress. If thought turned to body composition rather than actual weight, poo poo would be better for everyone. Rather than just watch numbers fall off a scale, become stronger, learn that body image is far more than something related to a loving scale that you slavishly stand on each day in order to see a number possibly go down a bit. If it doesn't go down, punish yourself by eating less than yesterday or fool yourself by drinking less water because you retain it. I genuinely hate everything to do with scales, it's a completely moronic way of doing things and leads to the delicious trap that is the never-ending cycle of failed faddy diets and other associated fuckery. I put on a shirt I bought a year ago and it's now too small for me. That's all I need to know about how my lifting is working out. My thighs rub like gently caress now and I'm destroying jeans because of it. gently caress scales forever. Eat good food, lift a weight, don't be a fanny.
