How much should window tinting cost? I just got a quote for $390 for a Cayman S for 3M Color stable tint, which seems expensive for a car with 2 windows and a hatch. Anyone have suggestions for decent tint?

Edit: Just got quoted 270 for Llumar Ceramic. That sounds better I think?

Sometimes Jalopnik puts me onto something... Because I missed it on one of the Cool Kids sources two days previously. They're an aggregator site, really, I don't begrudge them getting their cut of pointing people toward stuff that they may not pick up on.

I don't really have much awareness of other Gawker sites other than what people I know post on facebook etc, which is usually io9 (not too bad) and Jezebel (lol nope).

I've see stoplights too when I was in socal and thought it was a good idea. Seems to make sense in heavy traffic situations as it gives the main traffic room to absorb a single car as opposed to an endless stream of traffic. Plus in my experience people run red lights less than stop signs.
It has benefits, but its also hell for the people trying to get onto the freeway.

Deadspin did an amazing expose on my city's mayor's taste for young girls (he's a former basketball star who also runs a local charter school).
I was pretty impressed, and it was picked up by most of the mainstream media.

So, look. You've probably eaten lots of things in your life. Stands to reason, right? I mean, unless you're the readingest infant who ever lived, then either you have eaten thousands upon thousands of things in your life or you're the readingest ghost who ever unlived. Many of the things you have eaten were probably very tasty. Delicious, even. This goddamn peach cobbler with vanilla loving ice cream—hot and sweet and tart, then crumbly and crispy and salty, then cool and creamy and sweet, all the while rich and gooey and somehow just a little bit indecent ... maybe it's not the single tastiest thing you have ever eaten. But, then, why are you rubbing handfuls of it on your chest? Why are you crouched over the empty baking pan, sobbing uncontrollably? Are you always like this?

Weirdo. Make another one. Your guests would like some, too.

quote:

So you've decided to end your life, or at least the segment of your life during which you could walk from here to there without your chest making sounds like a whirring blender full of silverware. Because that is the only conceivable reason why you would choose to make Alfredo sauce, which, scientifically speaking, is precisely as nutritious a thing to insert into your digestive system as a motorized hedge-trimmer.

Also Jalopnik posted my stuff on the front page from time to time which got both angry comments from Viper owners and confused comments from everyone else.

I do not have a dog. However, my parents have a dog. He's really sweet, but also really, really stupid.



I hang out with an old roommate occasionally. His dog IVs meth and never ever runs out of energy (or jumping ability) - this was about half a second before my babymaker caught a paw last week.

I'm so over this hospital malarkey. Missus initially got told surgery Wednesday, discharge Thursday. Then it became discharged on Friday, then Saturday morning. Discharge times 10am, I've been here since 9am and it's currently 11:30. Slowly watching the dollars click up on the parking fee and we can't do anything until the doctor (who said "see you in the morning!" last night) gets here cos shes still got the drain in the wound and an IV port in her arm.

She's over it and getting bruises from the lovely hard hospital beds. We just want to go home :(

I feel like a complete rear end in a top hat. I had a long series of difficult and/or lovely customers earlier today, which left me pretty salty when the dealership I bought the 6 wagon from in june called me offering to schedule me for a service (that I would be paying for). There is a poor girl there that got an earfull about the fact that the car smokes randomly on startup, the radio had the amp and sub taken out with loose power wire shorting out on the floor of the vehicle and how there was no way in hell I was driving 70 miles to let some half trained lube monkey with his head up his rear end put his dirty dickbeaters on my car to put whatever bargain basement oil and filter they get from the auto parts store down the corner in it. And to top off the acting like a shitbag, I ended the call with that stupidly false cheerful voice I get when dealing with customers like I was being. I know better than to poo poo on someone who has nothing to do with their salesman being a shithead, but it didn't stop me. I am a terrible person. :smith:

Well off the top of my head, the room is $1100 a day, critical care was about $4800, op theatre was $2600 and our out of pocket was $500 because we're in private rather than public. If we didn't have private health it would be done for free in the public system but could be up to a 12 month delay on getting the operation

That's everywhere, at least the entire east coast as well.

Although from my New England trip last year, my current opinion is that Maryland drivers are the worst. At everything.

Can confirm. Drove 6000 miles up/down east coast and across to Texas, including spending an hour to go 8 miles in maryland rush hour traffic. Driving in Maryland was a perfect metaphor for the US, everyone too focused on being 6 feet in front of everyone else to realize that if they let up for a moment and just merged smoothly we'd all be miles down the road by now

Also had this really cool dynamic speed limit system that updated a couple of times per minute and was specific to each lane to try to prevent rubberbanding. It sort of worked, but Maryland drivers.

E: I should add that with the exception of Maryland and NJ, and rush hour traffic in general, you're all better at driving than Melbourne people.

Is there any decent option for a garage workbench that doesn't involve 1) making it wholesale out of lumber or 2) spending hundreds of dollars for a ready-made one? Craigslist is coming up with pure crap right now.

Currently I use some old kitchen cabinet lowers I got for free (Formica is very out of style, but so far very durable). They are great storage and a good stand-up height work space.

Then I have an old, heavy as hell metal desk from the 70's, which was also free, that I use as a seated work area.

Don't rule out wholesale out of lumber. A few 2x4s, a sheet of plywood and an afternoon can give you a kick rear end bench.

lol I was just about to suggest one of those old tank desks. Use it seated or rig up some iron to extend the legs. They're not hard to find for free-ninety-nine if you keep an eye out and ask around.

I think my Galaxy S7 has the same defect as the Galaxy Note 7. Last weekend it was overheating, restarting on its own, and wouldn't want to startup without being plugged in. Made some burning electronics smells too. Had a work emergency so for the few seconds that I could have the drat thing on I got authorized to expense a new phone so I popped over to costco and bought the no name galaxy Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. I've only had the S7 for like 3 months.

Already gave my S7 in for warranty so we'll see how long they take. The Grand Prime is a kind of a chincy phone but I guess it works and it's a smart-phone, so meh.
