I bought this doohickey:

and this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque

so I can keep an eye on my car without having to go to autozone.

It also has the benefit of being able to add additional gauges and whatsits using my tablet/phone. Kinda neat.

My current pair is falling apart, but $30 seemed like too much for house shoes, so I decided to give these a try for $17:


edit: v They're ugly, but I had a hard budget cap of $20 and they might be the most comfortable thing ever.

i got nothing against fugly house shoes. i usually wear a pair of dumb looking Globe shoe things around the house because they are really drat comfortable and have a real shoe sole.

In the past few weeks I've purchased assorted parts for my 2002 325i including: fuel pump, fuel filter, power steering fluid reservoir, valve cover gasket, post-cat O2 sensor, and assorted other small parts.

you guys get cool M bmws and fancy kit for them and all my e46 gets is oil leaks :(

i had to replace the power steering fluid reservoir/hoses and the oil filter housing gasket this past week. two weeks ago it was the valve cover gasket.

im not too salty, the old girl is 12 years old with 125k miles and i think the previous owners did like 0 preventative maintenance on these gaskets/hoses

edit: i guess i actually did buy this too because the old fake chrome one had all the fasteners dry rot out (not my car obvs)

costa rica is pretty amazing. liked it way better than other caribbean/central american destinations including some of the nicer resorts in mexico. if you have a chance to do something like waterfall rappelling i would recommend it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will definitely be doing plenty of outdoor adventurey stuff. That sloth sanctuary actually looks really awesome, but is's on the opposite coast from where we're staying (Jaco), so probably won't make it out there this time.

About a 45 minute drive south from jaco is manuel antonio national park. it has a sweet 1-2km hike to a secluded cove beach that is the prettiest beach i've ever seen in person.

Also you can get a NY Times and Wall Street Journal audio sub free with it as well.

Looks like they fixed it so it doesn't work for existing members anymore, I tried :(

If you like Punk IPA do yourself a favour and try some Proper Job.
Very similar, delicious IPA hoppy goodness.



Then progress a little further to it's older brother Big Job for a bit more citrus zest and even more hops.




Hi I want to start a microbrewery! Oh, my idea for flavors? Let's just put a shitload of hops into all the beers until they taste like you're licking the hops dust out of a bushel of ground hops, gently caress all the other flavors.


Someone else on this forum said it before me but I hate the trend of adding more and more hops into beers just to be unique. I also equally dislike the trend of making darker and darker beers with higher and higher ABV values.

Can't a man just get some solid options on a nice light lager?

Also recently I was given bottles of each of these because my boss likes to go in on hand selected single barrels. Each were hand selected and have his name on the label which is cool. (Pictures not mine)

That's it. None of this 'connected to the car', 'makes me a better driver', 'i enjoy antiquated mechanics cos i'm a hipster' bollocks.

I live in London and haven't owned a car in 9 years, but this year I've got my eyes set on a 19 year old Skyline that i'm going to drive solely to tear up country lanes and take over to mainland europe for road trips. It will be fun.

Recently bought:



RFID syringes as part of my most recent wholesale order for my studio. Gonna join the transhuman revolution and stick one of these in my hand so i can use Tasker on my phone in order to have it automatically unlock if i pick it up with the hand with that chip stuck in. And then gonna look at getting an RFID door lock for my bedroom in my shared house cos i'm a big nerd.

Now I'm starting the one about daily life in the ancient world. The audible subscription is worth it just for these courses.

I'm building it specifically for CSGO purposes, aside from learning how to make electronics and code firmware for them.

I think the only really "custom" thing is I adjusted is where shift and ctrl are so that I can more easily crouch and walk in game. I have a hosed up pinky finger that can't really reach the ctrl button on a regular keyboard quickly.

I full admit that it would have been faster, easier, and cheaper to just buy a game pad/mechanical keyboard. But I wanted to make one because I like making things.

fair enough seems a good enough reason to me
