Adiabatic posted:Usually I agree with you but this is just rude. Rude or not, it's tiring to see someone race to, in effect, post "FIRST POST" month after month. And he made such an effortpost splash about ignoring me that he'd only see what I said if it gets quoted, anyway. Welp.

I expressed a strong statement about laf because I think the monthly "race" to first post is silly and laf's ignoring effortpost was rude. meatpimp often responds in kind. In other news, Spring cleaning is taking a lot more time and effort than I thought. I've been in the garage all morning and finally have space to work again... and I can see the top of my workbench.

I need to drive my E39 more. I spent all day charging the battery, only to find that there's a bee making a home in the right rear wheel. I don't know what those little holes are for, but I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to be filled with pollen and have a bee in them.

I never thought I'd learn something from Archer, along with being entertained... Thomas Edison really did electrocute an elephant to demonstrate how AC current was unsafe (granted, he fed the elephant 6600V, which is ridiculous overkill). Plus, he shot video of it: :nsfw: obviously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoKi4coyFw0

Dagen H posted:Okay, I'll bite: what's the issue with giving an incomplete? Student skipped days totaling 6 out of 14 weeks so far. Skipped several major assignments. When he/she figured out that they were completely hosed in the class, pulled out the "I have ADD" card and is tying to unfuck themselves. Not going to happen. He/she actively made choices over the course of the semester. There are consequences for those choices. In this case? The consequence is a big ol' F. You cannot make up the in-class lectures and material provided in them, by "getting an incomplete." I'll teach the same class next semester, feel free to re-register next semester, slacker. keykey posted:I felt your response was fairly straight forward. Then again, I also have no idea what's wrong with just giving somebody an incomplete which is what they want either.. Maybe vanity is getting in Mr. Pimps way of actually giving somebody what they want since it's not an a-f anyway? Yes, I have insufferable vanity when dealing with college students.

Signal range seems pretty good and strong... better than I had expected... and I haven't even started to play with the IFTTT integration that they just added (and the reason that I got it).

Sinestro posted:And on perfect timing, I finally got graded work from my stupid online programming class back, giving us the entire semester at once. Now I mathematically can't get anything better than an D, because I used "// Bonus:" instead of "// BONUS:" in my assignments and a couple didn't compile because I used C++11 features and I guess the professor decided that in TYOOL 2016 g++ -std=c++98 is still the way to go, but then again he's the kind of person who doesn't know how to use grep -i in his grading script and responded with "I'll be offering the class again in the fall" when I asked him about any kind of a correction because I turned in a litany of perfectly correct work that demonstrates a level of knowledge well beyond what's required by the class. "I'll be offering the class again in the fall" is one of the harshest "gently caress you" replies you'll get from a professor, fyi. Sounds like there may be more than a minor mistake at play.

Sinestro posted:I don't know what I did. I mean, if he can see that I've not opened any of his lectures maybe he's angry at me for that, but it's not my fault that my school has a credit by examination policy not far from "gently caress off". I shouldn't be in this class at all, it's the basic 'intro to computar do the things' when I've taken most of the higher classes already by challenging the pre-req and gotten all As there and I've been programming since I was like six, but it turns out the class is required now. 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. If you didn't engage with any of that, you basically told him that you knew everything already and your poo poo would be straight correct. poo poo wasn't straight correct and... welp.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:Fuckin' a. That happen tonight? Everybody ok? Yep, last night, whole family was in the car. We were ~15 miles from home after traveling a couple hours. Damned truck was running perfectly with the dash showing I averaged right at 20mpg, which was the best the truck had ever done. My wife and I have different accounts based on our perspective. I saw one, thought "poo poo, there's gonna be another (because deer always travel in groups)." As soon as I thought that, and before I could even get on the brakes, the second one was RIGHT in front of us and a third was right behind it. No chance to brake, no chance to swerve (and no point, since there were deer on either side). My wife says there were way more than three deer, which is totally possible, I was just "target focused" on what was immediately in front of us. Pham Nuwen posted:The deer's probably not doing so hot Geirskogul posted:Does your insurance cover deer strikes? Powershift posted:Fuckin deer probably didn't even have insurance, he had no business being on the road. The loving deer doesn't need any insurance, he was a total. Took the full brunt of a ~5,000 pound truck full-on in the side. I didn't see it after impact, but it didn't even take another step. It was running at the time and was thrown forward and into the ditch at the side of the road. It was a ~180lb buck and the impact sheared its rack right off. gently caress that deer. My insurance will cover it, I don't know yet if deer strikes are considered chargeable collisions by my insurance company or not. Ferremit posted:Looks like a perfect excuse for a big bullbar on the insurance companys dime... I don't know what the financial game will be. It needs all the RF corner sheet metal and grille/support stuff. Radiator and AC condenser immediately vented and they got shoved into the (expensive electronic viscous) fan... don't know if that did anything to the water pump or motor. Either way, it's going to be close to 75% of the value on initial estimate... It could go one of several ways, we'll see. some texas redneck posted:I bet you're real glad you didn't pay full retail for that grill now, aren'tcha? I didn't, but the insurance company will.  Ironically, that may be the part that pushes it into "totaled" land.I'll keep my stupid thread posted with the insurance process. It's already been stupid. AWWWWW YISS...

It's not like you can predict how an act of god is going to damage your vehicle. I don't know, I've never hit a deer in 30 years of driving (other than the one that JUMPED over the hood of my Forester while I was doing 35+... and the only trace was a slight hoof drag mark on the hood scoop. I can see it argued either way, but comprehensive is fine by me. I just wished it somehow hosed up the back... the only dents in the car are in the tailgate and LR fender... the front _was_ perfect... meatpimp fucked around with this message at 18:57 on May 8, 2016 |

QuarkMartial posted:Car-related: Parents own a 2006 XC90 with the 2.5T engine. Best motor for that car. Take the pipe off and put it back on, it's one of the turbo system pipes and there may be some oily residue in it, but nothing is going to pour out (if it does, something else, much more major is wrong). Plug change should be no big deal. But if he's struggling with securing a couple of Torx bits, maybe he is better off getting it done professionally.

While I was there I entered a contest to win a $5000 tuition voucher on a whim. Got an email today saying that I won.  Congratulations!

keykey posted:Don't fool yourself, every school is for profit, you'd be surprised how often I have to remind people here. Just because we're a community college doesn't mean we're not for profit. Guess what has to happen when attendance dips? Sorry people, we have to trim the fat somewhere and it's usually in the area of part-timers and then it's by newer hires first unless older faculty/classified/managers want to take a golden parachute. I've worked in it for 15 years. I know the way the system works. There's still a difference between state funded schools and straight for-profit schools. I looked at teaching at a for-profit school. Lasted all of the orientation meeting where it was entirely focused on taking attendance at multiple times of the class session to document who was present and when, so that the financial aid could be kept properly... there were no shits given for the scripted curriculum. At least at a State school I can teach what I want, when I want, how I want, as long as I stay within some very broad goals/guidelines.
