Which would you see first in the wild? GMC Sprint or...


Edit; Ad could use a wizard riding the ram.

My workday has turned into:
10am: Arrive and make tea/coffee.
10:30-12pm: Email, FB/Reddit/SA/Geek stuff
12-2pm: Lunch
2-4pm: Youtube
4-6pm: Counterstrike with coworkers on "unofficial company server".
Or
4pm: Go home.

Uggggg. I need motivation to get some certs/do something other then add/remove (more likely remove) accounts and fix basic BS.

Easy paychecks are actually a terrible thing, when you and your coworkers don't care anymore.

I wish I had this problem.

I still have a gateway gaming laptop from 2009 that i run in my bedroom. 2ghz Q9000 quad core, 260m GTX. it's been run in 43*c in australia, -15*c in canada, travelled 80,000kms+ in the back if a truck bouncing up and down oilfield roads, and basically hasn't been shut off since 2012, and is somehow still kicking.

I'm going to upgrade my current desktop to a Q9550, from a C2D E8500, because that is a thing and apparently I made a smart decision when building my machine so many years ago.
Too bad most people are asking ridiculous prices for Q9XXX processors.

I have a complete machine in that era (C2Q 9550 as I remember) I got from our moderator a few years ago. Want it?
I will 100% take you up on this offer.

If you have a compatible motherboard, this may be of interest to you. Also, this if you decide to go through with it.
Thanks for this; something I didn't know was possible.

I tried out the Liquid Cocaine shots recipe that Leica posted a few pages back. That was a mistake and I think my phone needs a breathalyzer attached to it.
Aka Rich dead nazi? My brother has been making these after work for the last week. I usually chase mine with a of a gallon of water so I don't wake up with a murderous headache. For laughs, we did the math on how many bottles of goldschlagger it would take to accumulate an ounce of gold. Something like 87 grand at 39.99/bottle later..

North Florida/Panhandle. Good neighborhood too; my mother, her sister, and their parents all live on the same street as this place. I'm not sure about living that close to that much of my family but for that kind of money I'm not sure I care.

At the time I was looking for a home, I was living in my parents basement, and I was considering everywhere within an hour of the city but I actually ended up buying a house less than 2 city blocks away. My brother later purchased his own house and now lives within a 10 minute walk. If you can tolerate your family then it's not a bad arrangement.

Holdbrooks is visiting goatse guy??!

Also, when I hover over the link at the bottom of the screen to get back to the main forums list, once I'm not hovering over it, the link disappears so I can't click on it and have to manually back out. Is that just me or did they break it when they were loving with the forums?
The weather couldn't have been better for a visit, considering its January in Minnesota but drat near 30 balmy degrees at the moment, with a chance to tickle 40 degrees on Saturday.

In curious if he had winter gear or if he had to make a few purchases in the name of warmth

Also, it's the forums. It happens to me too.

Thanks, mobile browsing is convenient but a pain for certain things.

Here's my first shot.



It's a 1993 Accord Wagon (obviously), it's got 135,000 miles no rust at all and a manual transmission. I've only heard manual wagons exist, never seen one. And it's not a swap unless they swapped the correct dash for a manual transmission in as well.

Edit: just failed inspection. Brake light out, low brake fluid, exhaust leak. No biggies.

Oh wow. Nice find, and very clean looking to boot! Rust has long taken any of those locally.

Was that a craigslist find, or just word-of-mouth? If you're not keeping it, it'll definitely be an easy profit.
