People who don't take their college education seriously baffle me. You're paying for this and chose the classes you're taking. Why would you gently caress yourself over like that? e: The craziest thing is that so many problems can be solved by just going to class every drat time. I used to have dreams toward the tail end of semesters that I had a class that I had just forgotten to go to for months. Fortunately that was never real. epic bird guy fucked around with this message at 23:53 on May 2, 2016 |

I like Sun Country for domestic flights. Granted, MSP is their hub so it usually very convenient for me. Internationally I've flown both Icelandair and SAS. Both are quite nice. Thanks Nordic countries! Icelandair does a great job of convincing you that Iceland is an awesome place and everyone should visit it.

meatpimp posted:So it was an online class and you didn't even open the lectures? Yes, he can see that. He can probably see when you log on, how much time you spend on and what you open/use while you're on. That being said, its kind of lovely to not return any work until right before the end of the semester. If the first assignment was returned showing formatting mistakes he could have corrected it at the beginning of the semester rather than being hosed over now.

Slavvy posted:It's about time they start paying you back for all the mickey mouse cowboy baseball apple pie horseshit you infected their culture with after dropping the bomb. Baseball became popular in Japan in the 1870s. And US cowboy culture is a product of western movies which owe a lot to Japanese samurai movies so it works pretty recursively. I guess what I'm saying is that Japanese and American cultures have been pretty closely related for a long time.

meatpimp posted:I don't know, man, as an American, I am plagued with guilt for something that happened three generations ago. I also feel personal responsibility for slavery. I spend nights awake flogging myself for killing the Indians. Because, you see, the American culture was forced upon the rest of the world by use of force and not from other cultures' emulation. I don't get what's so hard about recognizing that all of those things had terrible effects that are still being felt today but not feeling personal guilt about it. Guilt doesn't solve problems.

meatpimp posted:There were nubs in the top of the head where something freshly broke off? It was dark, though, and I didn't see any pieces. Edit: Now that I think about it, it could have just been partially scalped from the way it looks like it hit the hood... They typically lose them in December or January after the rut, and then they start growing back in early summer, usually June or July*. There would absolutely be bare nubs where they fell off. Deer antlers are regenerated every year, getting bigger as the bucks get older to help them fight over does. *These times are normal for where I am, and may vary depending on location. e: I'm also refering to white-tailed deer. If you're out west and it was a mule deer it could vary as well, but with the exception of caribou, I think, all deer lose and regenerate their antlers yearly. ee: Wrong about caribou. They also regenerate yearly but they are the only species where females also typically grow antlers. epic bird guy fucked around with this message at 19:18 on May 8, 2016 |

Thanks to the way the water rights for the Colorado are constructed, the landowners get their cut off the top, not proportionally based on river flow, and we've had a few years of dry winters. Prior appropriation water law is some hosed up poo poo. That's what happens when you get oligarchs building states in resource heavy areas with limited populations. Riparian water law is better in every way but you know, gently caress you got mine and all that.

How do you all decide whether or not major work is worth doing on a car? My car (2001 Saab 9-5, ~180k miles) has needed a new timing chain since before I bought it, and up until this point I've pretty much just been ignoring it, but if I'm actually going to do something about it, it should probably be in the next couple months or so. Its a remove the engine job*, so along with that I'd probably do the oil pump (probably reconditioning rather than replacement), water pump, crankshaft seals, and maybe a few other things while its out. However, I'm a fairly inexperienced home mechanic so removing an engine is a very daunting thing to me. Ideally I'd convince my dad and uncle to help me (and let me use their space and equipment), but they have their own lives and I wouldn't want to inconvenience them too much. The car is in pretty decent shape for its age and mileage, with some body rust around the rear wheel arches, but frame rust is very minimal for a car that's spent most of its life in Minnesota. I think the car has many more years of life in it if this operation is done. If I decide to go ahead and do it, would 8 days be a reasonable amount of time to budget for the operation for a first time engine puller? I'm thinking 2 for removal, 2 for the projects, 2 for refitting, and 2 as a buffer in case things go awry. Total parts cost would be between $300-$400, for the timing and balance kit, water pump kit, and oil pump kit (if that's even needed). I guess what I'm asking is whether or not, in your opinion, $400 and a week of time is worth spending on a 15 year old car made by a dead company with nearly 200,000 miles. e: I'd also want to buy new hardware and gaskets for the intake/exhaust manifolds, coming to between $30-$40. I'm sure there's other parts too. epic bird guy fucked around with this message at 17:38 on May 17, 2016 |
