The company I work for just for awarded a $30 million contract from the government for about 660 vehicles.  I fully plan on taking an extended poop in the middle of designing the truck, so know that your tax dollars went to me dropping a deuce.

I used to love storms. I bought my first house last October, and we had a massive storm here in July. A tornado touched down literally in my backyard and traveled about a mile before it lifted up. I lost eleven trees though had only gutter damage to the house itself. A huge spruce fell about a foot from the Volvo that was parked next to it. I'm still cleaning up after that storm. gently caress storms. gently caress them right in their twister hole.

I'd still have to pay full-time for daycare (the price only changes if they go three days or fewer), and then I'd have to get stuff down around the house. Nah, I think I'll just keep on working five eights.

Terrible Robot posted:gently caress jobs that punish you for getting sick (unless you call in an excessive amount), like that's something you really have control over. gently caress jobs that don't necessarily punish you but don't make it easy either. If I call in sick, all my work is still there with the same due dates, and now I have to work twice as hard to get the work done. As such, I'm only calling in sick if I'm on my death bed. Vacations are the same way. Taking a week off sucks because coming back in and having to work twice as hard for two weeks just sucks.

slip proof stairs posted:My SO really really wants a Mini Cooper to replace her ragged-as-hell MB C240. Are there any major issues with mid-late 2000's hardtop base Coopers that I should know about? The biggest anecdotes I see around the internet are power steering pump failure and timing chain issues. We had an '03 n/a for awhile, and from what I remember: - The electric power steering was inadequately cooled, leading to premature failure on many cars. The fix involves an extra fan blowing on it, I believe, so if it's been repaired by the dealer once it's probably good. - The door sills are known to rust. - I've heard the CVTs are utter poo poo, though we had the 5-speed which was excellent. Not sure about the ones newer than that. We sold ours when it had 50k miles on it. They're seriously fun to drive though, even the n/a ones. Corners very flat and it becomes a lot of fun to use momentum through the curves to keep speed. Ours was my wife's technically, though I drove it regularly while she slowly learned stick on it. It was a hoot.

Just popping in to say holy gently caress I'm broke. Paying the fence people $2600 to repair and replace my remnants of a fence pretty much took what little money i had. Also everybody being sick all week and needing medicines, and my $85 diagnosis only to tell me I need to spend a lot more money to make my BMW winter-able. I still need to buy a mattress for my son's big boy bed and that'll be money I don't have.

Speaking of alcoholism, my daughter has been sick and has to take a liquid medicine twice a day. She hates it. To make her feel better, I take some medicine alongside her: a shot of Jager. She smelled it, agreed it was also gross, and now won't take her medicine without me taking a shot of Jager. In a way, then, my kids are forcing me to drink.

goatse guy posted:Congratulations ssjonizuka! I used to occasionally visit a bar a friend of mine worked at. It was a sleazy bar in a one horse town in Michigan but they had one of those internet jukeboxes back when they were brand new. Every time I went, I'd put a $20 into the jukebox and load it up with the best black metal songs I could find (Their metal collection was limited but they had Dimmu Borgir and Merciful Fate I remember, and some others), and usually end with some nice, long songs they had in there like Carouselambra. I'd usually get an hour or two out of the machine for my money. The look on the other patron's faces when my songs came on was great, but what was greater were the chics that went and put money in and after a half hour "They're still not playing my Britney, waaaa!" (My friend that worked there was a metalhead and he deeply approved)

keykey posted:About 6 months ago I was in a bar getting drinks with friends after work, 75% female. A guy walked up to one of my friends and hands her a $5.00 and says," Play anything you want." She in turn handed me the fiver and said," Go to town." I'd never used one before then, but surprisingly it had the extended version of In A Gadda Da Vida, Christeene: Fix My Dick, some other songs for flavor, and it ended right Dimmu Borgir: Puritania. I do remember playing In A Gadda Da Vida as one of the long songs. The full 20-minute version. Live too, I think. The Doors' The End was there too, but I don't remember if I ever played it. Just something about playing that song in a bar full of people likely drinking their worries away, that didn't sound like a very good idea.

goatse guy posted:I can only start so many conversations with, "Hi, how are you doing today?" or some variant of that, and every dude between 26 and 36 seems to have an opinion on Batman. I'm mad because I missed Batman chat and I have an opinion on Batman that differs from every other single person alive. Val Kilmer. Val Kilmer is my favorite Batman. It has a lot to do with how adolescent-me was sheltered and never saw a movie until right around when that movie came out, and Batman Forever was my first Batman movie. And because of how impressionable I was at the time, that is, for me, the definitive Batman movie and I will defend it until I die.

I was talking about self-driving cars with some guys here at work and the weird ethical problems that arise, ie driving you off of a cliff vs into a pack of schoolgirls. And I got to thinking, each car will have to know what's in it, either with sensors or with you typing in what and who is on board. And then I got to thinking, it will be a thing in the future to hack into that system and convince other cars you're a bus full of nuns.

Alighieri posted:My best guess is at a minimum it might need something setup for weight sensing and position in the car, as for who the occupants are, I have no idea why that would be needed. I meant a general quantity field type of thing - unless we don't give the cars that information, so it at all times tries to save itself, even if it means plowing into other cars full of an unknown quantity of life forms. The Midniter posted:How does this happen, really? I mean I know the importance of hydration and work out a lot so I'm swigging water all day, but I recognize that not everyone's like that. Still though, people have to eat and drink, so how does one let oneself get so dehydrated (outside of a desert environment or somewhere you'd expect that to happen) to the point of passing out? No idea. He works out for three hours each morning and drinks a metric gently caress ton of water each day, but he changed his routine a week ago and I'm thinking that may have something to do with it.
