My Cat shoes (hey shut up they're the only ones making semi-durable steel toe sneakers these days, and I can't wear actual boots) are peeling apart like that too. But I bought them in September '13 and they're still going so they're doing better than my last 2 pairs, usually get 12 months before they're completely hosed and unwearable.

So here's a question I'm afraid to take over to SH/SC because it sounds dumb as hell: I'm using Chrome. When I open up an image heavy thread the page renders without images and then as they load, I completely lose my place as the page length changes but my position is referenced from the top of the page. This results in me trying to scroll down to keep my place, then getting pissed off at it and mashing the page down key until it's done loading and backtrack to whatever my last read post was. Is there some sort of plugin or tweak I can use to correct this behavior and make it hold my place?

Boaz MacPhereson posted:So I can get an LQ4 pulled out of a van and dropped at my house for $650. No guarantees that it runs, but I'll be rebuilding the whole loving thing anyway. Thoughts from the masses? That's not too bad considering that's pulled and delivered. I've seen them go for less in questionable (but rebuildable) shape and 'still in the truck' though.

Found out I've got a SIX DOLLAR GODDAMNED RAISE, as of next month Wow, so you can actually make decent money at this poo poo. Was having my doubts after 2 years of making less than I was doing tires. Also gently caress my old service manager in the rear end with a rake, I was supposed to have this ten months ago but he deferred and hosed up my apprenticeship papers in about 6 different ways before quitting and leaving his replacement to clear it all up.

jammyozzy posted:That raises a question, do Summit Racing ship to the UK? I imagine the Corvette/Cadillac dealers over there would be the best place to look to bring GMPP stuff like crate motors over. Hell a creative Vauxhall dealer might be able to source them. Something tells me Summit would not be the most effective solution for bringing something that big overseas. All the little stuff to make it work sure, but not the engine itself.

But she's seriously the hottest girl I've ever seen in my life. I can't believe she is real at all. There are good-looking people who aren't shallow you know. I've been out on a ton of dates with women who were both ridiculously gorgeous and genuinely interested in me- and I'm a good bit below average in the looks department. Of course, I never get anywhere because the depression/anxiety/self-sabotage kicks in (regardless of what they look like) and I make my personality appear repulsive rather quickly. mariooncrack posted:Am I the only one here that has a AMD processor?

So I had an idea today after coming up dry on another round of junkyard posi checks. We love junkyards and we love helping each other out, a lot of us have mentioned they have standing orders for poo poo they need and the Row52 Parts Puller thing has a lot of potential for being hosed by some idiot meth head across the country. Has anyone thought about doing a junkyard wanted parts list? I'm imagining a little script on Google Docs where you'd enter username/email/year(s)/make/model(s)/part wanted and it'd pop you into a read-only spreadsheet that we all could see and keep an eye out for the good stuff. Does this sound feasible to anyone else?

Alright, that's enough feedback to tell me this needs to happen. I'm playing with a form and a spreadsheet now.

Black88GTA posted:maybe it would be a good idea to put a "tech notes" column or something as well? Something that could be used as a place to write notes on how to remove delicate parts without breaking them (poo poo like "to get shifter surround out, pop out shift boot and undo 2 screws hidden underneath before removing"), etc. Chances are, the person looking for a specific part will know exactly how it attaches, and all the "gotchas" for how to install / remove it without destroying it in the process, whereas someone who happens to spot the item in a yard and is unfamiliar with the car may have no idea. Would be a shame to destroy some unicorn part due to lack of knowledge on how to remove it. I'm almost done (holy gently caress this Google Forms thing is easy, though not quite as powerful as I'd like). I have a field for a short description (I said there's a 75 character max but couldn't put a hard limit in, like I said it could be a little more powerful) and a second field where you can put a URL to a post in the thread I'll be making which you can use to talk about the specifics of the part and how to get it out.

So my glacially-paced car shopping adventure took me to a Ford dealer today. I lucked out again and got a salesman who actually knows some poo poo mechanically, which is always nice. Focus and Fiesta gave me a crowded feeling that I didn't even get in my Festiva, it just feels like the cabin is full of junk. And I don't think I could live with a Mustang, I don't do trunks (plus they are a little outside my budget). But after reading some of Powershift's posts and poking around of Ford's B&P I found it was possible to do a build sheet for a 2.7EB, big sway bars and 3.73/elocker in a poverty-spec SWB 2WD F150 to make a ludicrously cheap neo-Lightning/Tremor-lite within my budget, and I drove a '15. Unfortunately the 2.7s still haven't shipped yet but a v8 in a crew cab with 4x4 gives it roughly the same power to weight ratio and is thus close enough to get the idea. The idea holds water. After the drive I'm convinced you could make one of these trucks actually handle without much money, but the locker would have to go- it needs an LSD badly, and it could use a little more sway bar out back. But the cornering it can pull off as-is with me not wanting to push an unfamiliar vehicle too hard is loving bonkers for a truck. I shall not piss on the car-ification of pickup trucks any longer, that poo poo blew my mind. I don't mind the slushbox-only factor on this thing as much as I thought I would, it shifts uncannily well and exactly when I'd want it to. Sport mode is a bit weird but apparently not available on a 2.7 truck anyway so  . But one caveat that the salesman pointed out would be that all the options that would make this a speedy truck also factor in heavily to the spring rate table since they're technically towing options and not Ricky Bobby stuff, and you can't cherry-pick a spring rate (or even see the exact correlation between options loadout and spring rate beyond what they've posted as a GVW table). So it might result in a truck with way too much spring out back and thus a pretty unstable tail. I've got some more research to do there. Now excuse me while I contemplate how ridiculous it is that I cross-shopped a new pickup truck with an automatic while looking at used Subarus and the pickup truck may actually win me over.

Well that was some bullshit. Went to Princess Auto, started filling a cart with all the stuff that I've been borrowing from the other techs a bit too much lately and then left my cart in the aisle to go to the cramped little corner where they keep the air tools. Come back, my cart is gone. A little cheesed I grabbed another one and filled it with the same poo poo. Go to use the washroom before I check out, the new cart is gone. I think these people take store tidiness a bit too seriously.
