For $3,000 couldn't you buy a beater pickup, full sized van, or even a commercial type truck like the rental places use and then sell it for about the same amount at your destination? Whatever you buy will probably be just as reliable as the piece of poo poo they give you as a rental.

Won't give a gently caress about whatever the law does or doesn't say and will do it anyway. e: so what I'm saying is that it doesn't matter what the GCWR is there will always be some idiot trying to tow something beyond their or their vehicle's (or probably both) ability.

Holy gently caress what a whiney baby. That level of stupid power trippy bullshit is usually reserved for high school administrators.

I'm not sure about revoking a degree but universities won't issue you your degree if you haven't paid for everything.

I have one which I use like a debit card (never buy anything I don't have funds for in my bank account and pay it off immediately) and enjoy the free cash with the added bonus of all the protections it offers.

$300 is probably close enough to the scrap value to make the difference worth not having to deal with craigslist people.

Rhyno posted:Is it weird that I feel guilty that I was never abused in any way? So many people I know were just wrecked by friends, family or people in a position of authority and I'm just over here dealing with being chubby. I don't feel guilty about not being abused but I do feel a bit guilty every now and then when I realize how much poo poo I take for granted. Just stuff that should be normal but apparently isn't like having two good supportive parents, never having been poor, never been abused. Never really been bullied to any real degree either.

The (old) CTS-V is still being made, though. Or at least there are 2014 CTS-Vs for sale.

Pretty sure all modern 1/2 ton gas trucks are more than capable of towing a STI while costing significantly less and having much cheaper parts. I'm not sure there would even be much if any MPG advantage towing that amount of weight either. Other than that though I love all the modern ridiculous diesel trucks. 440HP and 860lb-ft from the 2015 6.7 Power Stroke

Grand Prix GTP if I remember right. If I had found one for a reasonable price before I found my Fit I probably would have bought one. Supercharged 3800

Terrible Robot posted:Sooo I have a question for the more knowledgeable and up-to-date computer guys in here. I've been (trying to) build a gaming computer for the last year. Back in the day when I was more involved in the computing scene AMD was King poo poo of gently caress Mountain when it came to processors and I love the hell out of my old Athlon XP based rig, which I still keep around for running older games. I intended to go with an AMD FX- series processor for my new system and purchased a mobo with that thought in mind. But all I seem to see in SH/SC and YOSPOS is post after post about how much AMD and their FX platform is utter garbage. I've tried actually wading through the SH/SC thread to get more information but I left with a migraine and feeling even more confused. I've only had AMD chips for the past decade but my current PC just poo poo the bed and I went Intel* without even looking at what AMD has these days because god drat the hosed up bad with that last architecture. *Can't wait till Friday when my parts arrive

After installing StartIsBack (which I will now admit is better than Classic Shell and worth the $5 or whatever it is now) I no longer have any complaints with Win 8 and see no reason to use 7.

Since we're talking about PCs again, I've got my new one all up and running now and holy poo poo. Going from a quad core Phenom II with DDR2 to a hyperthreaded hex core Ivy Bridge-E with DDR3 is a pretty big jump. Need to get a few more paychecks but soon I'll pick up another 48GB of RAM (for 64 total  ) and couple more SSDs and I'll be able to ditch my HP DL180 G5s and run my home lab off of just my desktop. Faster, quieter, and more efficient. Technology is wonderful.Overclocking has changed a lot in the past five years and also going AMD -> Intel but I've managed to fumble my way to having this i7-4930k running at stock speeds while undervolted and at 4.2Ghz under load with a very tiny bump in voltage. Might not even need that voltage bump but this voltage offset thingy doesn't seem to behave as advertised. e: Also my motherboard came with a free copy of AssCreed 4 so I guess it's time to go have fun being a pirate and desperately trying to ignore whatever retarded plot ubi came up with this time.

T1g4h posted:I'm not a huge fan of AssCreed games but 4 is pretty loving great. Treat it like Sid Meier's Pirates! but all grown up and you'll have the right idea. Customizable, upgradable ship with an open world where you can sail, capture defeated ships to start a merchant fleet, fight legendary ships for special upgrades, go diving for blueprints, capture forts to call your own, search random islands for treasure... I mean yeah, there's a story, but it takes a massive backseat to the exploration and free roam. AC4 is pretty much amazing. Like, it's my favorite game to come out recently, it's that good. Will do, thanks. Also that seems to match up pretty well to Yahtzee's review. Ship stuff fun everything else ehh. I thought the first 3rd of 1 was OK, 2 was a lot better and pretty fun overall, Brotherhood was great, and I've not played Revelations or 3. I wish there was an option to autoskip everything related to whatever overarching plot ubi is working on (all the animus related stuff) because it's so bad it almost ruins the gameplay.

Everything. I'll admit this is slightly overkill but I'm going to use this thing every day for the next ~5 years so I don't mind spending a bit more. Especially now that I'm in the best financial situation I've ever been in. e: a quad core i7 with 32GB RAM probably would have been enough but with this I won't ever need to choose between videogames and virtual machines and can also play around with RAM disks at the same time or something.

Soooo anyway, a couple months ago or so I remember someone mentioning that they had gone to get their car inspected and the tech plugged something into their cigarette outlet for testing purposes and the poster wanted to know what the gently caress. I don't remember anyone providing an answer but I might have just missed it. This is probably the answer. Short version is measuring inductance to determine when a spark plug fires and based on how often that happens (and probably some settings for number of cylinders and plugs) RPM can be determined.
