Welp, my boss is loading a shotgun with pink slips. My job is fairly safe atm, but the people he's fired were all in fairly critical positions that he hasn't made any arrangements to fill and that's going to make this job suck. I've thinking about printing some resumes anyway, I guess this is as good an excuse as any.

Tire guys where i used to work don't get sick days unless it's not busy. And even then you still come in every morning, and just hope you get sent home after your first fleet check. But when it's just you, your service truck and some trailers the risk of getting someone else sick is pretty low. Either way I'm glad to be out of there and In a place where I can just call in for whatever reason.

Stomach acid tends to do interesting things to fibrous materials, and the smell tends to stick around after washing.

Goober Peas posted:Ugh...not only did Little Caesars give me bad flavors and indigestion, but they also gave me nightmares. I had nightmares just from reading their nutritional info one time. "well hey that's not actually that baOHGOD THAT'S FOR ONE loving SLICE" And coincidentally, my boss' monthly kool-aid installment was LC's yestersay. Didn't bring lunch because he said he was getting pizzas in, went hungry because my health is lovely enough already. Turbo Fondant fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Oct 11, 2014 |

Nah, if it was ebola the hospital would have sent him home by now  But yeah that's some serious poo poo he's got, there's no way it's ebola but it's not a normal flu either, I doubt we'll hear from him for a few days. I hope he's ok

IOwnCalculus posted:Random good deal alert: Autozone has five quarts of Pennzoil Platinum (or Ultra) plus a Bosch oil filter for $33, plus a $10 MIR on top of it. Holy gently caress that's insane. I paid $57 for my last 5 litres of PP, that stuff is getting pricey.

Oh. My. gently caress. Having Bombay Sapphire for the first time, I'm still kind of new to gin but I think I have a new favorite until I grow some balls and start trying the non-walmart varieties. I wasn't going to get hosed up tonight, but...

Yeah, that was basically my take on the whole fuckshow. Except I only put about 5-10 minutes into reading about it before coming to that conclusion.

Phone posted:Just put an SSD into your current laptop if you bought it within the past few years. Hell, I bought an oldballs Lenovo T500 6 months ago for $200 and put a 120GB Samsung 840 in it, poo poo is fantastic. So good that when my mom needed a new computer I did exactly the same thing (but with a T400).

Pham Nuwen posted:So where do you guys buy your used laptops? I'd like a personal laptop (maybe an X61 with one of the higher-resolution screens?) and my wife needs something too (T-series?). There's a small chain of shops in town that buys factory refurbs and old corporate laptops on wholesale and resells them retail. They're kind of skeezy in that they love to sell warranty and financing options but if you opt out of all that it's a great place. They've always got a few 2 or 3 year old Toshiba or Lenovo business class laptops around in good shape as well as some of the more interesting consumer level poo poo. I imagine there's a bunch of places like that in different cities.

meatpimp posted:Alienware M17x R4 here. Complete desktop replacement, and can run games. 32gb of ram? Seriously? Why? lol how's the hinge doing? My bedroom netflix/music/porn device is an M11X R1, the one that was most famous for hinge/lid separation and had a lid replacement program which I couldn't take advantage of because... well because Dell Support. Yeah the lid is held on with JB Weld. My T500 is actually slight a step back from the alien in hardware spec for everything but screen size and RAM (and only because I swapped the AW's RAM into the Lenovo) but it's so worth it for the build quality.

Elmnt80 posted:Their site is down It's bushings and/or airbags damping the link between a trailer and a truck, applied to the truck side, so both the 'why didn't I think of that?' and the 'tweekers gonna steal it' thoughts apply. No-slack pintle hitches kind of addressed this issue but pintle hitches are kind of a medium duty thing and these guys have solutions for every hitch style that can be applied to a pickup truck.

Heh, I just found out my Vibe is affected by both the 'airbags randomly deploy for no reason' recall as well as the now-infamous 'airbags will kill your rear end when they deploy' recall. I thought it was only the former. Guess I ought to get my rear end to a stealership, my fatal attraction to vehicles that actively try to kill me only applies to my projects, I'd rather my boring DD wasn't also homicidal.

Saw an Allante in the wild for the first time today. Metallic gold/beige, convertible, looked in decent shape. They really are majestic shitheaps. A car so simultaneously awful and awesome to look at it's impossible to describe.
