Sled Driver is without a doubt the finest book I have ever read. It is meant to be read in the same way a Ferrari is meant to b driven. To leave i on a shelf or in a box because it is rare or valuable is a loving crime, I read it whenever I want, I take it to work to show people, I loan it out to friends and family because if a page gets torn or a smudge or whatever, then so be it. It is the books purpose to read and be amazed an not enshrine it and worship its concept.

Buy a copy. Make it happen. You will not regret it.



And also yes Ive seen the one at the Boeing air museum 3 times now. it's loving huge.

I've only played 8.2 hours of Steam games, but I had literal months worth of played time on some of my WoW characters. Sometimes I feel like it was still more productive than what I do now, because I do nothing outside of work except sleep and watch Netflix.

I spent the last four days with my family for Thanksgiving and my birthday, and it was way too much time to spend with them. Time to think of a plan to get out of spending Christmas with them.

Smash the latch for tailgate with a hammer. It should be plastic so long as its old enough and will effectively keep him from unlocking the bed due to the way its designed. :eng101:

Got sick of the 3 job poo poo.

Already had a 2 weeks notice in at the worst one (Pizza Hut in Frisco, where I'm lucky to make $20-30 in a very busy shift). Still picking up hours at Pizza Hut in Allen (and should be full time there in 1-2 weeks). Walked out on Wal-Mart. The people I worked with were alright (except for one rear end in a top hat), but working in 3 cities and 2 counties (and passing through a couple of other cities to get between jobs) was killing me. I was averaging 2-3 hours a night of sleep, and kept falling asleep at work and in the car. I made the mistake of taking a nap in my car during my lunch hour a couple of weeks ago.. and slept 2 1/2 hours. Slept through 5 alarm clocks (2 on the watch, which vibrates, and 3 on my phone). For some odd reason, they weren't very happy.

I have no issue working 80 hours at a single job, but when it's split up between 3 places.. fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that poo poo.

At the Frisco Pizza Hut, the GM didn't finish next week's schedule before going on vacation (the franchise owner told me a few days ago nobody is allowed to take vacations during the holidays). Roughly half the staff has no hours, a huge chunk is scheduled WAY outside of their availability, and nobody is authorized to make changes except the area manager (who is.. also on vacation). Looks like I have a vacation; by company policy, the schedule is to be posted by Friday, so if I want to be mega rear end in a top hat I can just say "sorry, the schedule wasn't up by Friday, and when I pulled it up on the computer on Saturday, my name wasn't even on it - I assumed that meant <GM> moved my 2 week notice by a week". I might not be that much of an rear end in a top hat (I did take photos of the schedule), but that just depends on my mood. The dude fucks up every schedule he's ever written. (Actually I will be that much of an rear end in a top hat, he left without finishing his own work, and I have photos of the schedule showing nearly half of the names on the schedule with zero hours).

I have a full tank of gas. I have decent DSLR. It's a beautiful warm weekend, I think I might drive to Arkansas or Oklahoma. Probably Arkansas; T1g4h, up for some beers?

Except you're being dumb about it because it's not radically different except for being faster.

I've actually found stock 5.0 to be quite a bit slower than what I had before - but before stock 5.0, I had SlimKat 4.4.4. This is on the N5. Slimkat FLEW on it. I will say 5.0 has much improved battery life so far though.

I'm waiting for at least a beta release of SlimRom based on 5.0. I tried an alpha, but it got stuck in a boot loop half the time. When it would actually boot, it was constant crashes.

Viggen posted:

My Nexus 4 won't gently caress off about the 5.0 update. How can I block that? Hosts file over USB or something? It is perfectly functional at 4.4.2 and can live with that for the next decadeweek until I break it. Goddamn that constant bleep after notified/ignored is annoy... oh HI!

Install a 3rd party ROM. That generally breaks the OTA update poo poo. SlimKat has a stable 4.4.4 that works fantastic, and is significantly faster than stock 4.4.4. I used to love CyanogenMod, but they forked from standard AOSP awhile back, which means most kernels don't work.

Grr as soon as I got on the freeway leaving Discount Tire I noticed a wheel was out of balance but now they're closed and closed tomorrow too. :argh: How bad is it if I drive it that way?

Bit of extra wear on the shock/spring on that corner, and it'll handle like poo poo on the highway. Try to get there as early as possible on Monday; the ones here are ghost towns before about 1pm.

They're extremely customer service oriented, if you bitch nicely you might get something like a refund on one or two of the road hazard certificates (if these are new tires + you purchased certs) if you mention how uncomfortable it was to drive to/from work. They'll usually do something to try and make you happy as long as you're nice about it.

kastein posted:

Yeah, most of the ones that can fall in two categories. Old weird transmissions that have a second fluid pump on the output shaft (iirc) and hydraulically shifted manual transmissions. I wouldn't be overly surprised to hear that a honda manumatic can be push started for instance, even though I am pretty sure they can't.

I found out the hard way that I can't push start my car, despite the manual transmission. I mean, it'll start, and it'll run for about 5 seconds. Then the security light starts flashing, and it kills fuel (the security light stops flashing once the car comes to a stop, but it won't start even with the key unless you shut it off completely). That's when you coast to a stop in gear and hope the alternator charged the battery enough to actually turn the engine over, turn it off and on, and try to start it.

That's ALWAYS fun when you're at the top of a hill and get coasting to a decent speed and pop it into 4th or 5th, and it runs fine for 5 seconds, then suddenly your electric power steering disappears and your dash lights up like a Christmas tree, and you get to fight both the wheels and power steering electric motor to get it onto the shoulder.

I also need a new battery pretty soon (just leaving the radio on for 30 minutes means I need a jump), but seeing as my hours have been cut to poo poo (I'm not even on next week's schedule, despite my last day being next Sunday - and had 15 hours this week - GM went out of town without finishing the schedule too, joy!), I'm kinda broke.

Yeah I never had a problem with them before and I know they were crazy busy because it snowed a little and everyone is swapping their tires. I don't want to be a hardass but it is what it is. If I can manage to wake up sometime reasonable 13" might be able to help me out.
