I'm having bad ideas about picking up a Grom. Like checking my credit and looking at the MSF bad.

I have 2 race cars and I'm basically out of CC debt and my checking account is looking healthy. gently caress gently caress gently caress

Considering I bought a house almost 4 months ago now, my savings is returning to normal, I have no CC debt, I have 3 motors in the garage and a race car to build.

Somethings not right

I have like 6k on the note on the Mazda2 (I'm above water on it), but I'm trading it in on an ND this year.

I think I have about 22k combined in student loans (12k technically isn't in my name).

I have a few zeroes in the bank account even after going to Japan (flight was paid for a few months ago, only used 1k in cash for about 125k yen). CCs are in a way better spot and almost paid off.

I'm not in a great place with 6 months of savings etc, but it's much better than the past few years. I can definitely make it work, but I want a MS3 for the Miata and I need to buy tires. I need to keep myself occupied and finish a lot of things around the house and whatnot. I do think I'll make it happen, though.

Work blocked CL so I can't hunt for Honda Cubs/Passports.

This is the only one up I have on you: I owe nothing on any of my 5 vehicles, regardless of their state or condition.

I own the Miata, the Lexus is 1/4th ownership.

I don't have a house and housing prices (rental and buying) are loving ridiculous. If you want to live anywhere remotely close to either downtown Raleigh or Durham, it's 300k to play. Want a garage? Get hosed.

I think I have another year of renting before I can consider grabbing a mortgage. This year should be interesting and hopefully it'll pan out OK.

Hate to tell you this, but unless there is something glaringly wrong with your back like a slipped or herniated disk or something, there's really not a whole lot anyone can do for you. Your best bet is to exercise and focus on your core because that's what supports your back. Do lots of sit ups.

Adiabatic's post pretty much summed it up.

Sit ups don't do anything and will make the pain worse. Something like planks are way more sound and productive.

I decided to watch Big Hero 6, The Everything Theory, Imitation Game, and a bunch of Japanese food TV shows versus watching Interstellar on the plane.

I purposely avoided Interstellar since it looks so dumb and iirc, AV club wasn't particularly nice to it.

I found new episodes of Top Gear (Season 21) on netflix, that takes priority over everything else. I'll wait for the sister in law or her dad to buy it on whatever service they buy every loving movie on. drat that Alfa 4C is a cool little car, still waiting on the local Alfa shop to get one in for me to test drive. I won't buy one new but the salesman offered a test drive in one if I take him out in the M5.

Should be interesting to see how the 4C compares on reliability over the next 5 or so years.

Top Gear sucks and any season past like 13 is garbage. Watch Roadkill instead.

If you're buying consumer laptops, you get what you pay for. I just had to do a repair on an HP Envy since the hinges were loving GLUED to the clam shell.

I bought a MPBr after owning a string of netbooks and using business laptops at work. "Inspiron", "Yoga", and "Envy" can go die in a fire. Lenovo T or X series.

I got this and safe to say that we will be using it a lot more often.

Edit: I wanna pat that boxer on the noggin. Those are great dogs.

vvv Double edit vvv: Thanks! I was happy with how the video turned out. I am still trying to learn more. The time lapse was actually a lot better initially and showed the herd running through all of the front yards but I thought I would slow it down 50% on the iMovie clip but I should have left it the original speed. It was a lot smoother, but I didn't want to change it back and re-upload the whole video.

Just put one of these on your kids.

Stage 8 is like a year and change old; it's also internet connected which is awesome. You could also have multiple cars on the same card, too. You got a free credit every day; so if you feed the machine once, you get one additional continue. They also have like online events where if you play during this time period, you get some cosmetic stuff for your avatar, or a unique aura, or you have a shot to buy a particular car, etc.

It had some really cool poo poo, like when you race the nerd in the EG hatch, you can only give it so much steering input to mimic what happened in the comic. There's an early challenge where Iketani rides with you and you need to freak him out and make him faint by drifting well.

Nerds with GTA5 for PC: I only have like 100GB free on my SSD; how boned am I? Also I have an Ivy Bridge i5, 8GB of DD3, and a HD7950.

I could buy a 480GB SSD to replace the 240GB one I have, but I don't feel like spending $300 to play a video game right now.

Alright, cool. I know that SSD performance degrades significantly when over half of the space is being used.

Does the video card seem like it'll be able to push 50fps at 1920x1200 with everything turned up?
