The old people and hicks are inland, you gotta stay on the coast, west is the best. And we see hurricanes coming literally hundreds of miles away, if you're not evacuated or in a shelter by the time it hits you're a dumbass and deserve to die.

Muggy is good for the skin and palmetto bugs make great snacks  Also you just fire a few shots before leaving any buildings and you're good.

kastein posted:I am probably going to have the financial nerds up my rear end about this but gently caress credit cards. I'm 43 years old and I've never owned a credit card, never will. Thank god my wife has good credit though otherwise we wouldn't have the awesome house that we live in. We do have a Home Depot card with a decent limit, but it's for home improvement/repairs only. Every thing else is paid with cash, if we don't have the cash we don't get it. It's kinda nice having our only debt being the mortgage and a HD card

It ain't weird dude, I have friends that have no clue and can't comprehend about the kind of poo poo I went through. I just tell them they are blessed and should feel lucky they were raised in a loving family. Some of us aren't so lucky but figure out how to get through it. Some don't.

LloydDobler posted:I have huge self esteem issues so I only date narcissistic women who make me earn their love. Eventually I quit putting in the work and dump them when they complain about it and it all cycles back to being single. Now when I think about dating it only takes me about 2 minutes of fantasizing to get to the point where I'm sick of their poo poo. I'm picturing you kissing their rear end, then at the flip of a switch telling them to gently caress off. That's awesome, especially if you go for long periods of time letting them think they have you by the balls only to flip it around, and them not knowing wtf just happened  I always got to the "gently caress off" part a lot sooner, usually the first date when I realized they were insufferable cunts.

the spyder posted:That's the plan. If I even get the slightest hesitation from any of them, it's their problem and they have 30 days to remove their car before it becomes mine. I worked for a Miata specialty shop for awhile and the owner fired customers all the time. Being a specialty shop is a magnet for charity cases, they think you love the cars so much you'll do anything to help them and when they figure out you're *gasp* trying to make money at it, they get all huffy puffy and accuse you of trying to rip them off. You need to tell people right off the bat that you don't do charity work, you're trying to run a business, and if they don't like it they can kick rocks.

meatpimp posted:What say you, AI collective? Get it fixed at the dealer and send the check to the shop that hosed it up. If they refuse take them to court. That's the main reason I always change the oil myself, after having two oil pans stripped I said gently caress this it's not worth it. They're all in a hurry and give no fucks about your car, then deny deny deny when they gently caress it up.

So I found out my Camry has a sludge problem. Rather than taking the aggressive route, I decided to just do low interval oil changes with maybe a little seafoam in the crankcase now and then until it starts looking good. Any suggestions on a good oil with lots of detergents? I was thinking of just using supertech (walmart) synthetic since it's cheap.

meatpimp posted:Auto-RX poo poo I forgot about this, thanks man. Also when I was under the car changing the oil I noticed the trans pan was wet with fluid and missing a bolt. Found an extra bolt and put it in, and found that all the rest of the bolts were HAND TIGHT. I wonder how long it was driving around like that, the missing bolt probably worked it's way out because it was so loose

Well it did say that it tends to produce leaks and I really don't want to deal with that, especially if just a few short oil changes and a little seafoam (that I already have) will do the trick. I'll see what happens, I may just give it a shot if my original plan doesn't work.

ExplodingSims posted:So after reading about the 30th anniversary of the Sunshine Skyway collapse I realized I had never actually seen that bridge in person. Happened to be in Tampa today to see some relatives, so I decided to check it out while I was there. Gotta say that is a really pretty area around the bridge. Should have brought a pole to do some fishin' I got a flat tire on the very top of that bridge once, at about 11pm at night. Shoulder is super narrow, the guard rail is about waist high and it's a LONG way down. It was a pretty loving spooky experience, I tried not to look over but I couldn't help myself. I see why it's a popular place for people to kill themselves, all you gotta do is pull to the side and hop over the guard rail A friend of a friend jumped not too long ago, left behind a husband and three young kids.

Super Aggro Crag posted:Just woke up from a nap to a voicemail from my union hall. They left a message about the letter I wrote requesting to start over as a 1st year inside wireman apprentice. Should I go back to school for another 5 years (free, aside from books) and start over at $14/hr with the promise of more work and side work in my future? I'd be getting a 5% raise every 1,000 hours worked, although I would still be laid off from time to time -- just not nearly as often as the telecom guys. There is a high probability that they are going to shut down the telecom program all together and they'd all have to start over anyways. This way I'd be getting a head start on all that nonsense. I never really had an interest in being an electrician, I love doing telecom work, but there just isn't a decent market for it around here. How old are you? Sounds like a good idea if you're not going after any kind of degree, getting into a solid trade is the way to go these days. You may hate it at first but the more years you put in the easier it will get and the more money you'll make. The drawback is the whole you could die if you gently caress up thing. Every electrician I've ever met has a story about someone getting hosed up or killed

Maybe it's the OE tires? Do the skyactiv 3's come with hard tires like hybrids do? Either way it sounds like a pretty easy fix, some good tires and/or sound deadening would probably do the trick.
