Holy poo poo, $13,500 for a GTS4? That's a $6000 car here at best. I should start bringing lovely GTSTs down and flipping them for lovely S2000s.

Powershift posted:-31 with a windchill of -40 right now, 2 days ago it was +2 at 6pm. Supposed to be one hell of a death orgy on the roads too. I got to see one of my neighbors pull their Accord out of their garage, endlessly spin the tires while going nowhere trying to get up the hill to the main road, and then slowly fall back down the hill, nearly striking two parked cars and an oncoming Silverado whose winter driving strategy is "floor it, let the computer figure it out." After that I just decided to stay home for the day.

I'd wonder if the centre bore was even vaguely compatible. If it works I'd love to see it. I just dropped enough money to buy another beater on kitty teeth. Worth it though.

Holdbrooks posted:Hrm I didn't think about that. I assume it would be ok since I put the other set of 18's with the star specs from the STi on there for autocrossing. If the 18s are aftermarket... generic aftermarket wheels usually have a 70-something centre bore, in which case that should probably work and you should put hub centering rings in when you use them on the STI  e: I guess unless the aftermarket wheels are lug centric blah blah Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jan 8, 2015 |

I just got an invitation to complete my "personality profile" for one of the upcoming team building workshops, so I can know what kind of person I am and learn to accept the disabilities of other people. It didn't actually give me the result when I finished. There are only four possible results as well - that seems like a subtle and well-thought-out way to differentiate the diversity of humanity. freelop posted:No more drag racing in Russia

keykey posted:Management even thinks this is a joke. To distill everyone down to only 16 types of personalities is a crock of poo poo. The latest management methodology du jour is SCRUM, previously it was waterfall and agile. Although I do sort of want a SCRUM cert only so I can scratch out master and write in LORD. 4 types in this one, apparently. It's definitely not Meyers-Briggs.

wallaka posted:Nice. I was cleaning out a warehouse when I was in the Army, probably in 2004, and there were rows and rows of shelves of old SGI machines, fully completed. Also some kind of server with what looked like swappable CPU cards and RAM cards. There were like 10 vertical slots, and I remember about 6 cards with Pentium Pro's interleaved with the RAM cards, each covered with slots for EDO. There weren't any onboard hard drives, just a SCSI port off of the server backplane, and they were something like 12U sized. Just plain weird. I should really put together the bare Octane2 that I have in my parts pile to see if it even works. drat thing is so heavy.

Liquid Communism posted:Edit : Also, gently caress that article's kitchenaid hate. Those mixers are the poo poo, and anyone who wants to bitch about them can go hand wip meringue or do literally anything that requires you to whisk something while getting another part of the recipe ready. Like ganache. Or mousse. They don't have any beef and when you try to do something like mix pretzel dough the little fiber gear inside burns out and then you have to tear it apart, crack open the gearbox and lube up R2D2's anus as you replace it while wondering if this is really how Americans view the world and if so finally understand why their society has collapsed. gently caress YOU, rear end in a top hat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeCiivPt7hk The gear is this little yellow friend you have to replace in the middle of all this poo poo:  I did this twice. Don't mix up the screw lengths or it eats the casing and drops metal shavings into your food. Or you could buy a more expensive KitchenAid, which I didn't know existed when I bought mine. I bought a $20 handheld electric mixer from Canadian Tire while I was waiting for a new fiber gear and turns out it mixes the same pretzel dough just fine.

Darchangel posted:How do people eat dried, crispy When I was in junior high, I took a home ec/cooking class. One class, we watched a Dateline (or 20/20, I forget which) expose on the Jack in the Box E. Coli poisoning streak in southern California, and then immediately afterward I had to make meatballs as that was the project I'd signed up for that class. You better believe I cooked the poo poo out of that because I'm not gonna kill everyone in my class! All those crying parents and dead kids from Jack in the Box! Ate charcoal for meat for years after that. Oddly, didn't have a problem eating at Jack in the Box the next year when I visited SoCal.
