Just saw Dillinger Escape Plan on their final tour. I lost 7 pounds, am basically deaf, and have the beginnings of a black eye. I also could not be more loving happy. But mother of God this is gonna hurt tomorrow.

If you want a quadcopter with a camera for taking nice videos and pictures but at a budget there is no other choice to consider besides a Phantom 3 Standard. While I don't see the price getting much lower historically DJI has had special offers during the later part of November sometimes including things like extra batteries at no cost or at a slight discount. On top of it all if you follow the instructions and set the bird up correctly those things fly incredibly well. Source: I work in the hobby industry and have a Phantom 2, Inspire 1, Phantom 4, and have flown probably 100 Phantom 3's.

We'll see if it starts without a jump when I go to leave. Was fine this morning after no tender overnight so I'm pretty sure I should be fine. Next issue to fix is the common hot start issue, luckily easy to diagnose and cheap to fix. Just a bunch of testing things

Just a bunch of testing things This drat crank pulley on the F20 is a major pain in the rear end. Timed 5 minutes with 750 lb-ft impact, nothing but heating up the bolt enough to burn me. Crank holder tool, long rear end breaker bars and me literally hanging on the end of it snapped the 3/4" to 1/2" reducer I just bought  Stupid dissimilar metals  Not like my dry sump kit has even shipped yet and this is holding things up though I guess.

Yeap. I had to use the pulley holder and an air impact from snap on which had a very high rating. Those crank pulley bolts come one of two ways. MOTHERFUCKINGSHITGORILLA tight or not a problem at all because someone put it back on at a human level of torque.

I've seen people recommend a VERY thick-wall socket on an impact gun as the solution, the theory being it prevents the twisting of the socket damping out the impact effect. https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-77080-Harmonic-Balancer-Socket/dp/B00RGNCV1U

Have that exact one, it sat on there for five minutes with no effect. Think I'll have to go torch method since this seems to be at FUCKYOU levels of tight

Oh God, I knew it would result in this. I sold a cheap, broken car on Ebay (no MOT, failed its last one, currently untaxed, won't start). This is the message from the winning bidder: "Hi I could come down on Wednesday for the car i can get he National Express to Leicester with a fuel pump off my car to fix yours..." "If i get it running i can change my insurance over to drive home if this is ok with you."  I am perfectly fine with this. Those solid and robust members of Her Majesty's constabulary, however, have on occasion been known to be somewhat more hard-nosed. And yes, of course I said in the listing it was an MOT failure, was borked, and needed a flatbed or trailer to collect it.

Had gyros for lunch today, there were some douchebag kids making a video in the joint and mocking how you say "gyros." They got louder and more obnoxious until one of the employees chased them out yelling in broken English and it was just magical. "HEY gently caress YOU GUY! YOU gently caress OF HERE!"

InitialDave posted:I sold a cheap, broken car on Ebay "Hi to hire a trailer and to transport the car would cost to much as i have the same car here but I went to weld the sills without taking the carpet or trim out first and it set on fire inside the sill,the door pillar acted as a chimney as they are full of foam, i was lucky it only burnt the back panel, my partner loves the little car but it needs to much welding doing on it to pass the m.o.t, I claimed off the insurance but they said it was to far gone for them to bother with it, so they paid me £400 but i had to pay the garage the first £100 but then they give me the car back and put it on a cat D if i put it back on the road. Last week end i went to London to pick a car up for £400 I put £40 of juice in it got round the M25 up the M1 onto the M6 put another £40 in juice had to buy a new battery £75 ran another 20 mile and it blew up, my green flag would only take me 50 mile I was 120 from home, I phoned the break down at the side of the motorway and they said it would cost £500 to move me off the motorway, so i left it were it was got the bus into Birmingham then the National Express home cost me £650 and still no car, So like you say it might be the pump but then it might be something else half way home and I'm back to square one stuck with a car round my neck miles away from home, Just put it on your front garden with a sign in the front screen £100 or near offer, if they think they are being cheeky offering you £50 its better than £30 of the scrap yard for them to make over £300 out of it, Kindest Regards and GOOD LUCK"  WHY DID YOU loving BID ON IT THEN YOU TWAT? I don't care about your  life story, and you're not being "helpful" with your advice, you already messaged me before the end of the auction about how I could get more for it, and I was very clear I didn't particularly care about the money, I just wanted it out my way.Jesus.

This is the message from the winning bidder: I've suddenly come over all Mystic Meg about what will happen when the buyer collects: "I'm not worried about the lack of MOT, if I get stopped I'll say I am taking it for a test." "No, I haven't pre-booked a test" "It's only 150miles between here and the test centre by my house" also "Yeah, I have insurance, my car policy lets me drive other cars" * "I didn't bring my driving license with me" and "Don't worry about filling out the 'change of new keeper' on the log book, just give it to me and I'll sort it out" *(NB to Americans, no it doesn't)

This is the message from the winning bidder: Haven't we all done stupid or borderline legal things to get a newly purchased vehicle home? Good luck to him! Get the full amount off him in cash as soon as he arrives and before he touches it and do the online ownership transfer thing. Then give him a key and tell him if it doesn't run then he has X time before you roll it out onto the road and report it. If he insures it then technically he can drive it a 'reasonable' distance to a pre-booked MOT.... Edit - posted this before seeing your update. He does sound a bit of an idiot, but then when I was 18-19 I melted the back seat in my car while trying to weld a patch on the rear arch/sill and I still remember being skint and not as clever.

Bear in mind there isn't an access panel to the tank under the back seat, so you have to drop the tank. My issue is that he is clearly an idiot, plus he seems to have enough money to waste on stupid, convoluted ways of sourcing a car, and yet can't spend a hundred quid to just hire a beavertail for the day. This car is a two-decade-old Ford Fiesta. It simply isn't worth this much hassle.

It's not offensive since it's not meant to be offensive." Cleveland can be super racist.

Tried to mow the lawn for the last drat time this year. Did all I could do with the zero turn before I got my old Ferris walk behind out to do around the pond. Of course it had to die halfway through. And it weighs like 1000lbs, no fun to drag up the side of the pond and back to the garage. I am halfway torn between fixing it and finishing the job or leaving it for next spring me. I think it's fuel related. It sorta sputters and runs slowly with the choke all the way on but dies when I try to move it.

Currently sitting at the shop waiting for them to get to my car. Really burns my rear end since this is something that would be a piece of cake for me to fix myself, but I have neither jackstands, tools nor approval to work on my car at my apartment, so I get to pay diagnostic fee for them to (probably) tighten a loving nut down.

Yeah they close a couple hours earlier, but they're open. It's only the independent shops (you know, the good ones) that close. Sucks cause I was gonna try and meet up with my dad for a belated birthday dinner. My sisters went and saw him the day of but I was busy. He understands and he's coming to the rocket launch in a couple weeks anyway, but it's still irritating to have my plans derailed by something so stupid.
