Also it keeps rattling the sunvisor screws loose and I've lost 2 of them, and both Miata's in the yard have the visors missing already... Other than that, it's really buttoned up and should be a stupidly reliable daily. Only time it left me stranded was when the 7 year old battery quit.

And you really don't need AC most of the year in MN, do you? It gets really hot and humid here during the summer. It's miserable without AC. You make profit the same way you do on any other used car: buy it for cheap and mark it up. Cheap cars are good for us because they bring attention to our business.

goatse guy posted:It gets really hot and humid here during the summer. It's miserable without AC. Even the BHPH lots don't really go under $2500 from what I've seen, and I can't imagine MN getting anywhere near as hot as here. I mean, we break 110 in the summer more often than I'd like to admit. It does get muggy here, but nothing like Miami or Houston. Way, way too humid to use swamp coolers (i.e. bend me over backwards and gently caress me with no lube when the electric bill shows up in August), but not nearly as bad as a tropical climate. My old mechanic's monthly electric bill, including cooling a nearly 5000 sq ft shop with central ac, is far less than my monthly electric bill (he's on 3 phase, I'm not; I have 2400 sq ft with 18 ft ceilings and one ac unit, he has 3 ac units spread across the building. also, he's on 3 phase, on a city-owned grid, while I'm on a deregulated grid that costs close to 2x as much per kwh).

Awesome, Albertsons has announced that their point of sale systems also got hacked. ... they have what boils down to proprietary 386s and 486s based crap (NCR RealPOS stuff) handling their point of sale terminals. It's essentially a much older version of the NCR RealPOS stuff I used when I worked at Whole Foods, except running DOS 3.3 instead of XP Embedded. Basically an older version of the same hardware I used, right down to the exact same PIN pads. Those PIN pads are well known to be vulnerable to man in the middle attacks (sup Verifone?), and are, at least in my own experience, the most widely used PIN pad in this area. I think the POS terminals I used were Core 2 Duo running XP Embedded. I'm more amazed that anyone is even selling a service contract to Albertsons for this ancient poo poo, it's at least 20 years old today. Even for point of sale, that's loving ancient, and I know damned well it's long, long "not supported". Upside: I haven't been to Albertsons in over a year Downside: Uh, well, Albertsons closed most of their stores here except for the oldest ones, and largely exited DFW aside from lower income areas. I haven't been to one in over a year, so.. no downside for me personally. USAA re-issued my cards, my credit union is supposed to re-issue my debit card. I haven't even seen an Albertsons since I NCR RealPOS is the second most common large scale point of scale system (talking about stuff like grocery stores, big box, etc), trailing IBM midframe based systems by a a little. So expect a lot more of this poo poo. IBM stuff tends to at least be *NIX based (with a System/3xx backend, while NCR tends to do x86/x64 based for pretty much everything). The IBM poo poo is absolutely not user friendly in any way, but it's insanely powerful and can do an incredible amount of insane poo poo. For reference: both the Home Depot and Target hacks involved NCR RealPOS man in the middle attacks. I'm a bit shocked that they managed to carry the attack over to the ancient DOS based systems (which have a Win NT 3.x backend, if you're lucky). The PIN pads can be configured to work with drat near anything with RS232 or USB. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Sep 30, 2014 |

Having dealt with them, it still provides me endless amusement that the acronym is POS. It's perfect. As an aside, when I was working retail the company had till screens with a card slot that we slid the card into, and the customer only used the (Verifone!) pad to enter their PIN. The story was some store had a huge data breach and this was the more secure method. It worked fine except the one time somebody tried to pay with an AmEx without a chip and the till freaked out. Fucker was angry he couldn't get his .005 of an air-mile on the £5 he was spending.

Oh man, I still have so much "secret" Verifone documentation... from when I worked in the payment industry in 1997-1999. They really haven't changed jack poo poo on them, aside from being IP based instead of dialup. The most hilarious part: I put in a 2 week notice that had me quit in the middle of the week instead of on a weekend, and my boss said "lol gonna have security give you a hard time". Walked out with all of the documentation I'd written, on paper, and on a burned CD, by just shoving all of it into my backpack. The look you get on people's faces when the register shows "PIN PAD TEST" after you hit a couple of buttons..  e: 99.999995% of it is laughably outdated, but a tiny bit still works to at least get into diagnostics. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Sep 30, 2014 |

), but Dickies either fall apart immediately or hold together forever. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground with them - I've had the buttons pop off on the first wear, and had them last for years (pants). Generally they last forever.

Nothing further than a second date with any of them, but they were pleasant enough company, we just didn't 'click'. As an average-looking dude, you have to swipe right a lot. I think I'm sitting at around a 100:1 swipe:match ratio at best, and maybe 10% of those actually led to meeting up.

I want durable pants that have enough pockets for the variety of tools and spare parts I usually have on me when working on cars/my house, and I want them as cheap as possible (within reason.) It's assumed that they'll be unfit for public use within two years due to oil and grease staining

I go through work boots pretty fast working outside every day and the set of Wolverines I have now are the only ones that have lasted more than a year. They are also still waterproof after all this time. Luckily I caught them on sale for like $85 but knowing how well they hold up Id pay full price next time if I have to. Also 2 goon recommended movies on netflix I just watched were good, Kid Cannabis (someone in this thread) and Out of the Furnace (ultimateforce). The main character in Kid Cannabis is soooo STR with the hair and the glasses and the weed, haha.

Tinder requires a Facebook for authentication, doesn't it? I'd love an easy way to waste time but not so much a facebooker I put the top of the jeep on last night since the cool weather has arrived, but a part of me wanted to iron-man it as deep into the winter as possible. Bombing around while it's 20 degrees and snowing heavily sounds so hilarious
