Seriously, September was depressing. Step up your game, guys. Also, everyone buy an ACVW, so we can enjoy the pain as a group.

Then I die like viggen: slowly through probations, then resurrected with money. NO MODS NO MASTERS Also, turns out my USAA card has a weird credit score monitoring bullshit charge of $30 pending, with a $1 charge I didn't notice go through on the 25th. Because of this, I can't pay rent. Have to deal with that in the morning, but fukken sucks. Whoever you are at OTL Scoresense, gently caress you.

Funny thing is, I have never tried a site like that (though I've stopped others, like my parents, from making that mistake for years), and my USAA card is exclusively for money to get diverted from my paycheck to, then withdrawn for rent at a wells fargo bank. Except a few times I used it with Amazon and retail purchases, but the last non-rent use was well over two years ago (maybe a home depot a long time ago, but I doubt it). Probably why they never notified me of any compromise. Either way, I'm out enough for rent, and probably won't have it for a week at least, and rent is due tomorrow. Yay.

So, I did what was probably a stupid thing, but I got super lucky. I installed an electronic ignition (compu fire) in the beetle, and then, without testing it, I installed a brand new carburetor. Then I turned the key, and the fucker fired right up. Only adjustment I had to do was take the throttle spring from the old carburetor off and put it on the new one, as the new carburetor's throttle spring was way, way too tight, and made the pedal quite difficult to push down. The throttle was also quite notchy with the high spring tension. Other than that (and bench-adjusting the air and fuel bleed/idle screws, as you should always do), the car is running very nice. I also got a cooler master storm quickfire xt keyboard with cherry mx green switches in it, and it's a loving beauty to type on. Like an IBM model M, but slightly less noisy. Went from an average of 85wpm to 100 or so after a quick 20 minute adjustment period. I know that it's no STR with his 120wpm hyperspeed typing, but I'm still really happy about it. Anybody want to buy a working, if ugly, Solex h30/31 pict carburetor? Or some beetle bumpers and bumper mounts, or elephant's foot taillights?

103 is dangerously high, especially considering household thermometers tend to read either 2 degrees high or low, and that's a dangerous bet to make with your health. I know you said you already are, but if in your fever-dream state you pick up your phone and hit Something.apk and somehow navigate to this thread through a semi-lucid haze, and haven't gone yet, go to the hospital.

Just "competed" for an Avondale PD position. Three slots, 177 people showed up, including more than 30 lateral (already or already qualified for LEO) applicants. I passed both the physical and written exams and have an oral board on the 29th, but overall it was  and I think my chances of getting the position are

You probably already know this, but some departments won't hire if you score too well on your exams, too. Yeah, I'm aware, but I want to be a good cop, if there is such a thing. I mean, I love helping patients and dealing with crazies as an EMT, but the pay is piss poor. Devyl posted:After 5 years, she said she needs to have her own space for a while.

IOwnCalculus posted:I will do everything I can to never have to touch a cork gasket again. I was doing my first valve adjustments on the Beetle (every 3 to 6k miles, I hit 4k and decided it was time). On the passenger side, the gasket had been leaking onto the heater box, causing a huge oily mess, and was glued down with copper RTV. On the driver's side, the gasket was baked dry, and came off in very tiny cork chunks, only with the assistance of a gasket scraper (read: really big flathead screwdriver). I also discovered that while the passenger side head is OG, the driver's side head is a Brazilian remake, and the valves were tighter than my budget.

IOwnCalculus posted:Geirskogul, since the ACVW engine is about as common as the SBC, I've got to imagine there are rubber gaskets out there for it. Oh, I bought rubber replacements, and used some Permatex High-Tack on both sides of them (thin, thin coating) when installing. I've never used The Right Stuff, but I do love me some high-tack when used with appropriately-thick rubber gaskets. I am thinking about bolt-on covers in the future, though.

Welp, almost lost the car (and/or my life today) to a bunch of drunk people. After this video ends, I confronted the three people in the car about it at a gas station (two hispanic women, one very very fat hispanic guy). They were apologetic at first, but the moment I said "are you drunk? I smell alcohol." all three of them nearly dove into the Explorer and loving bolted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiFToEn4IZs For the record, I was going 35-39 in a 40 zone, and they were stopped in a left-turn-only lane on the other side of the light rail.

I've never seen a 6 inch IV catheter, but I'm just an EMT/68W. I've seen longer (up to 3 inches or so, from the normal .5 to 1.75 inch) catheters used for ultrasound-located IVs, on rare occasions. Though I have heard of docs repurposing arterial-line kits for IVs (up to 6 inches), but I've never seen one done in person. Super-long IVs have a higher chance of going through a valve in the vein, which can be painful, and is a pain in the rear end for the tech to push through. IIRC valves in the extremities are about 5-9cm (?) apart on average. Explains why it was uncomfortable to remove. Could have been an A-line, but you'd know, because the fluid bags would be inside another bag with an air bladder to provide pressure, to overcome arterial pressure. Plus they wouldn't have let you anywhere near it while conscious. Queen_Combat fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Oct 28, 2014 |
