Can anyone try to make me an animated avatar from about 3:22 or so, the focus on the Bartender going "b-b-b-b"

It's for an idea I have.

Exactly that part! Feel free to crop or resize or drop the hands at the end to make it avatar sized, I can't since my laptop had something happen to it.

Rosie was once a normal cat just like any other. But with the war overseas at grandma's farm taking its toll on the strong male cats typically of the sort to sprawl on couches, she took one look around and asked herself can we do it? Can we make up for those who have fallen before, pick up the slack, and Catte back?

YES WE CAN

The buyback money I got for my Viper is already starting to burn a hole in my pocket. My random thoughts so far:
- Ferrari 348
- Solstice GXP (seem the same price as NCs)
- an already built Factory 5 818

348s are cheap enough that I can get one and have the funds to keep it running. I think 355s are rising in price, and pushing 348s down because of it.
A 348 would tick off 3 things I want on my car ownership checklist: gated shifter, midengine, Italian.

The 818 ticks MR and <2000lbs, and it's only $20k.

I know you specified against the 355 but read this article.

Yea San Jose. I dunno, is it worth the half tank (and thus like $30 in gas) to get there?

I want to say yes but then between my 8 viewings and my friends tickets I bought I'm on the hook for 14 Fury Road viewings total. Get some friends to go with. It's simply incredible. It's the people who did Kung Fury, and it's like Mad Max meets Megaman done by Troma if they had good actors and a solid effects budget. Yes I'm aware of what I just said there but it's a loving beautiful unicorn, it's like we may see on the big screen once in a generation.

I went Goodwill hunting today. Theres a Goodwill thst doesn't price things, they sell it all unsorted piled in giant troughs by the pound.

First up found a bag I decided I needed.



This camera as is, seemed dusty but otherwise fully intact.



Found this one bin over from the camera.



Also appeared to be completely undamaged or scratched.



A brand new in packaging Dirty Jobs beanie!



Oh and some pants.



Total out the door price for everything was eight and a half bucks.

I think the camera and lens together came out to about a buck and change but I must confess I impulse bought them because I figured I could make at least a little profit reselling them at that cost.

I personally felt that they didn't really need to spend that whole twelve minute scene waterboarding the dog, then beating it tied to a chair, hooking it up to live current, before finally holding it face to face with John Wick so that he could stare directly into the camera's eyes when they finally put a bullet through the back of its little puppy head

Today's one of those days. Broke a fuel rail on a crown vic trying to take a coil out because one loving hair of the socket was under the edge of it, and I used my little electric cordless to run the bolt out bending it up and popping the injectors out. Misdiagnosed a customers rear end noise on a Tahoe because I didn't know it was a locker style rear diff and it was in park so spinning the rear wheel and seeing the other side twist opposite till it would slam to a stop. Made me think it had a broken gear in an open diff, they sold the whole axle and had it dropped off from the recyclers. Noticed the error when I popped the diff open to drain it out then had to tell them back to back with the Vic. Then went on lunch and pulling my parking brake handle caused the tunnel to rip and now I don't have a handle that's attached to the car except for one tiny corner of metal.

Anybody here work at a VAG dealer? My manager tried to tell me that the dealers dont bother doing all the 50 steps to align VAG products such as fully full gas tank, full fluids, checking ride height and resetting the stability control etc. Just loving line it up he said when i asked if he told the customer our master tech would have to reset that poo poo with his Verus. The car had aftermarket suspension too. Toe and go it is! Glad we ripped off another customer.

In my entire career I've never seen that whole bullshit checklist done and I'm pretty sure it's just to pad hours at the dealership. If the suspension is tight then make it drive straight and not burn the tires

oh sure i have especially when i was young and inexperienced and some things can't be helped but both scenarios 14inch described are examples of negligence. Now im not saying he's incompetent but the broken fuel rail resulted from a lack of care and attention to what he was doing and the second was due to not even bothering to look at the component he was condemning! Both scenarios could have been easily avoided but he either doesn't know any better (which I think he does) or doesn't care which in my book makes him a bad mechanic

I get what you're trying to do but for the record Id willingly bust your face in with a tire iron if you tried to say I wasn't good at my job to my face so congrats on being a piece of poo poo

I'd just like to say as my final sincere post on the subject, the reason I reacted to the low effort bait the way I did was it was literally a week after I had my best friend go to sleep in my arms at the vet, the cat who got me through the darkest times I have ever been through in my entire life. I don't respect myself, my living situation, my hobbies, or the people I associate with. The one and only thing I take pride in, in anything, period, is doing the best loving job at all times that I am physically capable of, usually at the expense of my own paycheck. Working flat rate inspires cutting corners, doing things half way, bending the rules, and the way I work is it gets fixed correctly the first time, even if I've been working for free for the past three hours to make sure it goes out right. I refuse to be yet another mechanic who performs at best most of a service that a customer pays for, I treat every ticket as if it were my own grandmother purchasing work. I sacrifice hours of my own time to make sure that the customer is treated with the utmost care, which is why having two gently caress ups at all, let alone the same day, was so frustrating. Because I would rather tell management and say hey, we need to correct this or hey, this doesn't need to be done, than to turn a blind eye, make it "good enough" to roll out the door, and charge someone hundreds of dollars for work that was not necessary. It's the only thing I have, my pride in knowing that i did my best. And it's the only thing that I will take a zero tolerance stance on taking poo poo about. And if thst makes me some loser who takes the bait, then so be it. At least I have my integrity.

No, because that's the whole part of working in a shop. Things are going to break. It's just a part of doing business. But I currently have under 16% payroll percentage, which means for every dollar I make the shop $0.16 goes to my paycheck. Corporate is happy with anything under 22%. Anything under 10% is unicorn status. So I think I'm doing all right.
