I could use some help making a couple of choices. I just moved, so I have no contracts or anything Option 1: get cable/internet again, pay about 120ish, have all the channels I want. Late night Velocity channel binges. Option 2: go with internet only for 40ish a month for 40mb download speed. Get hulu and Netflix. No late night velocity. Local programming. No DVR but will have access to all shows at all times. Thinking if I do cut the cord about getting the Amazon Fire TV. (Unless any one can recommend a better box) I also plan to build a multi media pc.

Yeah my biggest concern is hitting that giant wall and getting raped on data overages. The internet is going to be 40ish and change each month, cable and internet will set me back 110ish (taxes and poo poo) ... Soooo, the 70 a month would be nice to pocket. Plus I like to mindlessly flip channels, and college football in the fall. I wish there was a way to say yeah just cable in the fall and winter, shut it off in the summer and spring (I'm usually busy loving around with other stuff). Keel the internet full time though. Edit: I am excited that the garage has cable hook ups and I have an old 20" LCD TV doing nothing. its not like I will watch every thing out there but it would be nice to have a game on or a race. Or when its nice outside and I can sit in the garage, drink beer and have something to watch. Garage TV bitches.

30s old fart crew representing! (31) And age is just a number like every one else has said. With that being said, my 30s have turned out a million times better than my 20s ever had.

AI... In an effort to guzzle more gas I'm looking at a Jag XJS that's had the v12 ripped out and a SBC 383 in its place with a built turbo 350 tranny. I went to look at it and the only issues is the power steering rack is shot, and there's a rust hole next to the drivers rear wheel. Who ever did the engine swap was a pro or a very good diy. Theres no misc wires hanging around and all the gauges even work (yeah even the tach) What could possibly go wrong? (Besides everything)

I have said it before... But if you don't get electricity don't go hacking into poo poo. I just got the ignition system sorted on the rover.... What the PO were trying to accomplish I have no ideas. But its fixed and works perfectly! Now to fix those oil leaks

goatse guy posted:At least you'll be riding to the brink of insanity in style.  Yep. The best looking rides ever produced in this garage in their natural state Edit: Oh yeah, the Jag is fitted with this.  400 SBC bored over to a 406, with a turbo 400 behind it all. The carb needs a little tinkering, but it runs like a god drat raped ape. AC even works. My G/F's dad is already ready to help me figure out how to make the engine have a little more rumble on the exhaust. I am not thrilled about the 400 SBC, but once it takes a dump, and all the work is done, I can shove a built 383 in its place easy. The heater isnt hooked up as the wonderful British engineering is making it hot when it should be cold.

goatse guy posted:Even the retail jobs desperate for new staff are taking forever to get back to me because there's apparently so much bullshit involved with new hires. Goddamn. There's so much bullshit involved any more its not even funny. I know my employer is struggling to get people to work for them, and its not even funny. A friends construction company he works at is struggling to get people as well. Where he works is paying 27 an hour starting to hang drywall. Seriously, 26 an hour, decent benefits, and they can't get a person to work for them because its "manual labor". For the record: I live in Des Moines, 26 an hour is pretty respectable, and the cost of living here is reasonably priced. So its not paying to low. Edit: Facebook does not work well to make threads. The software gets all funky.

goatse guy posted:I just want to work so I can stop sitting around all day. I'm not being completely worthless because I've been spending most of my time applying to jobs, going to interviews, babysitting and doing housework, but I'd like to get back to work. You know as often as I say "I would love to have like a whole month to gently caress around" I go bonkers after having a couple of days off. Maybe its because work is so ingrained into my head (I have held a job since I was 14), or something? I do take time to go out and gently caress around with my vehicles, but that loses its luster after a day or two. I go ape poo poo if I have a week of vacation bunched together. But why I wanna be at work all the time? I have no idea.

kastein posted:I have four trillion very time consuming projects going at once so any spare time is easily sucked up working on them. That was the only thing I miss about owning a house. I always found that it was the lawn being mowed, or fixing a few items around the house, or working on another project. And every thing was relatively cheap to fix. Car projects are fun, but every once and a while you hit that wall of where you need to wait for parts or want to build up some cash to fix something. Build a fire pit in the back yard? Hell just a few hours with a shovel and cheap block at 50 bucks to do the whole thing, why not? But other than that, I hated home ownership.

Food chat quick: I went to a Brazilian steak house a couple of weeks ago, and it was... amazing. Anyways, it just looks like all the meats are grilled on a rotisserie, so now that I need a new grill, I want to buy one where I can do the rotisserie attachment. Obviously, doing whole chickens on it is the first idea, but I was wondering, has any one ever done a beef roast or a pork loin, or any other assorted meats? The electric rotisserie is only 30 bucks extra, so I would like to see if any one has any input on if its worth getting or not. I know that it will eliminate fat, but I am kinda worried about stuff getting dried out too.

BraveUlysses posted:For 30 bucks? seems like a good idea to me! Are you using it on a weber? No it would be a LP grill. But it wouldnt be hard to throw chips into foil for the smoky flavor. Currently, in a town home, and not that I mind charcoal by any means, but I would most likely burn the place down. Edit: I do admit, the idea of making gyro meat is appealing. I did find a couple recipes for the roast chickens that grocery stores make. BrokenKnucklez fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jun 30, 2014 |

I ended up getting a new grill (its the house brand, but feels sturdy enough) and a rotisserie motor for 160 out the door. 3 burners and a side burner... Need to hit the grocery store tomorrow!
