TIL the guy that wrote the Game of Thrones theme also did Westworld's. Of course he loving did, it's amazing. But he also did all the piano covers in the show. I'm gonna have to pay more attention, the only one I noticed was Black Hole Sun.

Mr. Nice! posted:Most car batteries last a year or two anymore. Bullshit. Batteries are no less reliable than they have been for the past two decades. The problem is corrosion and a bad connection. There's enough juice, it's just not getting through. Scrape that poo poo off and make sure the terminals are tight on the posts. Edit: Get a tool like this. Shove it on the post and twist until it's clean. Remove the cap and use the brush inside to clean the inside of the terminal.

Mr. Nice! posted:That was the factory battery with a 3 year warranty. It outlasted it's purpose. This I completely agree with, but that's a far cry from 1-2 years like you originally said. My Vette is still running the cheapest battery OReilly's had in 2008 when the previous owner replaced it just before I bought it. I just replaced the OE battery in my Jeep after about 4.5 years, which is actually the shortest-lived battery I've ever owned.

not caring here posted:I always take heavy hitter painkiller scripts because you never know when you or someone you know gets a toothache from hell or throws out their back or something. Joking aside, this. I get small kidney stones every few months, and there's roughly a day of serious pain that OTC stuff can't touch. Leftover percocets or norcos end up being a lifesaver, and keep me from just cashing my paychecks at the urgent care. I think I've only really mentioned the one big stone I had (the first one) that led to the surgery and threatening the idiot in flight med who tried to turn me away, but I've gone in for treatment for three stones (2011, 2015, and two months ago), and had 4 or 5 others that I just dealt with.

Vasudus posted:I quit soda *mostly*. I still have a 20oz coke once or twice a week with my lunch. I've given up trying to cold turkey my way out of soda. Aside from the crippling caffeine and sugar addiction, I just like it with certain foods. The new rule starting this week is 3 per week (a couple of months ago it was 2-3 per day most of the time). After a month of that, down to 2 per week. The real trick is going to be finding more stuff to cook that isn't going to induce cravings, and that I can make in small enough portions that I'm not eating it for more than 3 days in a row and getting thoroughly sick of it.

Watched what my parents went through when they quit smoking in the late 80s/early 90s, so I never picked that up. A couple of cigars a year, that's it. I don't much like drinking alone either, so aside from a beer every few weeks, I don't drink much alcohol. Soda's my big weakness, no question. I've definitely been drinking less lately, and a lot more water (Mio and the others are great), though.

TBeats posted:Apple Music is stupid and having to sync my iTunes library with my phone via wifi with no other option is stupid. To anybody with an iphone, make sure you enable this before your OEM cable frays/gets lost. You have to be plugged in to do it. And most cables out there, including a lot of supposedly "certified" cables even by companies like Amazon, don't actually work for syncing.

I had about 6" of snow left from last week's storm. Yesterday we got so much rain that it's all gone. Along with access to an entire subdivision because somehow there's literally one road in/out, and it was under about 3' of water and wasn't clear-ish until late morning today.

He won't get a loaner for a recall, but if the transmission is being covered by warranty work he should. I got one when my Focus' fuel pump died at like 10k miles (this was in 2002). Granted, it was a brand new Suzuki Aerio which remains the shittiest car I have ever driven.

Holy poo poo. Glad she's ok. My mom's closing in on 60 and I figure in the next couple of years she'll be looking to move into a smaller, single-story home. The current split-level was great when there was a family of four plus pets, but now it's just her, a small shiba mix, a 20 year old cat, and gradually another cat with a hosed-up eye that was abandoned by neighbors when they moved a few months ago.

I actually use my aircrew aids at work. Mostly for eyeballing transit and loiter times and for the pages of contact info for a poo poo ton of squadrons across the country. And a bunch of my patches are on the wall over my desk.

Comfy as gently caress, but even though I wouldn't be the only non-uniform to wear it, I just can't go that far. I'll stick my patches on the wall and go by my callsign, but can't do the jacket.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:I've been subbing in flavored seltzer water for soda. I've just gone straight to mostly water. I've got a supply of mio/crystal light/walmart's brand, based on whatever's in stock at my lovely local store. A good side effect is that there are certain foods I really like with soda...naturally they're mostly junk. Since I'm not drinking soda, I'm eating less garbage. Edit: Catte that was abandoned by mom's neighbor when they moved a couple of months ago. Mom started feeding it in Nov I think, but as the weather has gotten colder he's become a bit more trusting. Still not thrilled because there's already a catte and a dogge in the house. Godholio fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Jan 19, 2017 |

Nuclear Tourist posted:Anyone who abandons a pet should have their loving teeth kicked in. She is. He still wants to live outside, only comes in to warm up if he's feeling secure enough. Apparently he likes to watch tv while he's in. She has a little dog igloo thing that her dog has always been terrified of, so she put that next to the front door and puts some cat food inside. If the cat wants to hang in there to get out of the weather he can, but he seems to prefer to chill under the neighbor's camping trailer. Concur on rear end in a top hat pet havers.
