The wife and I watched Dead Poets Society, which she'd never seen, but 15 minutes in she realized she'd watched the Bollywood adaptation. I'd forgotten how it ends, so it wasn't really an upbeat ending to 2016, but it's a decent movie and we somehow timed it so credits rolled at 11:58 PM. We smoked cigars and drank throughout the movie. This morning I ordered a clutch kit for the Datsun, to welcome in 2017. It's gonna be a good year.

After buying an ibrik and some coffee on a whim, I've decided that Turkish coffee is now my poo poo. I brewed some before dinner (homemade French dip sandwiches with melted Jarlsberg) and another pot after. drat.

Speaking of programming I've been working on a kernel module that Does Stuff with virtual machines, and I just tried to access an address I read out of the VM without first converting guest virtual to guest physical, and guest physical to host virtual. My kernel did not appreciate it.

RillAkBea posted:I think their older videos were a lot more relatable, back when they were doing real back yard stuff and painting with rattle cans. Nowadays its more "here's our car, here's our free high-end ECU with free dyno tuning, here's our free performance tires, here's our full custom exhaust system and now here's Marty doing a full pro paint job" every time. Making them the perfect people to do a crossover episode with Roadkill, who started out with "let's fly to Texas, buy a random car, and drive it on route 66 back to LA" but now seem to lean more toward "we spent way too much for a muscle car rolling chassis, and now we'll drop in this crate motor thanks to our friends at Dodge"

I'm trying to move away from it, except for a scheduled time once a day to deal with trolls/updates/ect. Otherwise it straight up became too depressing, wasting time watching other people do stuff when I should be work on my own awesome projects. Short version: gently caress Facebook. For the last year or so I've pretty much only had a Facebook account so my wife can tag me in photos. It feels amazing, I highly recommend it.

I would like to clean my 'new' transmission a little bit before I install it. What's the best way to get old nasty grease off without making a huge mess / killing all my grass / etc? Purple Power and a rise? If I work on a concrete slab, will it stain the fucker?

Or do what I did and just toss it in the trunk with some rags, take it out to wash it, wipe it off as best you can and chunk it back into the trunk to take it home.

Eww, there's crud suspended in the Midget's clutch reservoir. Should I just try to bleed it down until the reservoir's empty, then clean it with a paper towel and bleed it again? I discovered this because the clutch is basically right on the floor and has basically no range of motion, figured it needs to be bled.

I'm pretty sure I'll never get the chance to be THAT uncle even though I've wanted to be for a while but my sister has aged out and my brother in law doesn't look like he's going to do anything with life besides smoke weed erryday. Well, they're pretty lucky to be having a kid too; it was IVF and even that was pretty dicey. How old is old enough for a sip outta the beer can when mom's not around? I had an aunt who always gave us books and we looked forward to those the most. Her family (my in-laws) are going to be giving her plenty of girly stuff, so I'll stick to books and legos and such.

What wood should I buy to go between jackstands and my vehicle? The frame rails under the Datsun are kind of bent and don't sit well on top of the jackstands. Do I want 2x4? 4x4?

Liquid Communism posted:A full fuel tank, a couple days off work, and a few hundred bucks to blow because gas is triple what it was when I got my license but wages are flat when adjusted for inflation. somebody who's actually good at stats should make plots showing, with inflation adjustments: price of gas, price of a Honda Civic (longest-running name I could come up with right now), average wages, and maybe some road trip essentials like a can of Coke or a pack of cigarettes. Or maybe graphing percent change since the first year would allow you to put them all on one graph and more easily make comparisons.

CommieGIR posted:Makes me want to get back into BEAM robotics. I built a few BEAM robots back in middle school and high school. Looked into it again about a year back and it has not really advanced much. It doesn't help that Tilden was always very close-mouthed about his advanced designs, and for most people it was a goddamn miracle if they could get a simple bicore soldered up properly--there were very few people involved who had proper education in electronics design, so I and most others were basically just cargo-culting. Now I've got a computer engineering degree but BEAM circuits are still a little weird because they tend to use components in a different way than most normal circuits. I still think a 4-motor (or 8-motor) walker with a microcontroller as a rider/brain would be interesting but these days I'd just as soon play with cars instead.

For years the only pizza my parents would order was Pizza Hut pan, and that loving grease sponge made me say "oh, i don't much care for pizza" for years. In their defense, the only options at the time were Pizza Hut and Dominos, and eventually they tried PH's New York style and us kids never let them get pan again. (we were 40 minutes from any pizza place so we never got free pizza at school events or that sort of thing)
