gently caress it, cross posting from the shattered remains of the January thread.bend posted:We're doing something like that with the middle daughter (also 9). She didn't steal from us though, she just continually loses everything. It was ~$200 in school uniform gear last year that disappeared completely within three months of purchase, plus all sorts of other random poo poo like books and toys and things. Now she's got a tab running on the fridge (we were lenient and started it at $100) to pay it back. I think she's down to about $80 now and strangely enough hasn't lost anything in about six months My daughter seems to have stopped losing her personal electronics (lost a DS, and a couple of MP3 players) when we didn't replace those and made it very clear that if she lost her phone (when we got her one), she wouldn't be getting another. She likes playing with the phone enough that it sunk in, I guess. She did eventually get another DS, but she paid for that with Christmas/Birthday monies. CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:As long as we get more covering why the whole shitfight started in the first place and how the narrative of OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS FIGHTING FOR DEM FREEDOMS!!!! is in fact a rancid bunch of crap. Not to mention that WW2 was a direct result of how we treated the losers in WW1. That said, in both wars many men did very brave things for their countries and their comrades, despite it eventually being at best a moot point. That doesn't diminish the bravery.

ilkhan posted:*types post* Yeah, that too, a lot. I don't think there's a "safe" position on immigration no matter what you say... Or even what you mean by "immigration." The USA is what it is because of immigration - it's disheartening how many people don't get that. edit: garage stuff. I dug out a bunch of rusty, but essentially new/unused, saws from the shed last weekend. I rescued them from my wife's grandmother's shed. They're rusty because the shed was partially open, and because they were stored in a cabinet with some sort of concrete cleaner acid (muriatic?), which container leaked, and made everything in the cabinet rust or corrode, including the steel cabinet bottom completely disappearing. There was a Wagner power scraper in there that the plastic started getting fuzzy and disintegrating, even. It was weird. Anyway, I put them in a tub of Evaporust last night. We'll see how they turn out this evening. I only had a quart, though, so I may have overtaxed the Evaporust with the pile of saws I bumped in there.

I have to tap the food on his nose before he realizes it's there, poor guy. Other than that and insulin for diabetes (possibly the cataracts are related) he's healthy, so I imagine he's got a few more years yet, but he's in his late 40s, early 50s in dog years for his size. Still active and good energy. He's just going to have to learn to use his nose more. Right now he's more confused than anything.

The company was apparently a japanese owned company that was bought out by michelin (gently caress remembering how to spell today) in 1992. For $250 for a set of 4, thats damned tempting to run them for a year to see what they're like. I've got a set on my FC RX-7 (stock 15" size. 205/60-15, I think.) They're fine. Mine a dry-rotting a bit, but that's because I rarely drive it. Grip is not awesome, but adequate, even with them a little crispy. I can get the rear to slide if I try, but it's generally well-behaved. Wet grip seems fine. I don't have my records here at work, so I can't comment on tread-life quantitatively, but they don't seem to be wearing unduly.

Well, not enough to say toss a 20b into a Jaguar, but still. I need something awesome in my life. This has lead to me perusing the grassrootmotorsports build threads. God help me. Well, you seem to have plenty of nice chassis, that are pretty easy to stuff other things in. Go for it. Embrace the blasphemy. John Wick 2: I trust the reviews of Howard Taylor, writer and artist of web comic Schlock Mercenary. His tastes are compatible with mine. While he enjoyed the movie, it did not cross his "Threshold of Awesome." Much like Ikhan said, the story is basic and straightforward. The fight scenes are good, so watch those. http://www.schlockmercenary.com/blog/john-wick-chapter-2/ Seat Safety Switch posted:That's not griefing, that's shot shaming. Yeah, griefing is killing that one guy over and over, in as stupid a way as possible, or just generally making his game hell. funny Star Wars parody posted:We went to the henry ford museum today and it was p cool I was annoyed that I didn't get away from the store I was refitting early enough to make it to the Ford museum when I was in Detroit in '10. It was, however, the week before Dream Cruze weekend and my hotel was on Woodward just south of Pontiac, so there's that. If I'd have realized it, I would have paid to stay Saturday and left Sunday instead of coming back Friday. Likewise, I was in Philly leaving the 3rd of July...

ExplodingSims posted:Biscuits and gravy are all well and good, but the one true Southern breakfast will always been country fried steak, hashbrowns, and eggs. WITH biscuits and gravy. Duh. Cop Porn Popper posted:Over easy or scrambled are the only correct choices. Close. Scrambled with cheese is correct Goober Peas posted:On another forum I'm on, someone asked for a definition of what constitutes 'Classic'. Seemingly every boomer said that 'Classic' should only apply to things from 1950-1969. And actively argued their point. These are the people who are making America great again My 1970 Cutlass would like to have a word. InitialDave posted:Is this car show run by Almost always. nm posted:Classic ends at 1976 because after that I have to get it SMOGed. Move to a state where the DMV isn't run by eco-Nazis. Doges:  Is there anything more pitiful than a blind dog in a cone of shame? Thanks to diabetes, he went blind from cataracts in the course of about a week. Because it was so sudden, he didn't have time to get used to not being able to see, so he's having a hard time of it. He still moves too quickly, without probing ahead. The cone is for the protection of his head, basically. He managed to dislocate his tear ducts ("cherry eye") last week from crashing into stuff. He's learning, and the cone should come off this week. Magnus Praeda posted:Depending on what kind of soil you have it can be either super-easy or stupidly infuriating to dig the post holes. But, as long as you can get the posts plum and an even spacing from each other, the fence panels are pretty straightforward (well, if you go with a simple design, I guess). gently caress building fence forever. I spent a summer of weekends once helping my dad rebuild the barbed-wire fence on my great-uncle's property that our property adjoined. This is North Texas, and better still, more or less a hilltop, so there were rocks everywhere. We had a tractor (Ford 8N) with an auger, but it would get stuck on the bigger rocks. Guess who got to be the designated rock breaker and soil tamper? My shoulders were in good shape that summer... Best part is that that side of the family went full rear end in a top hat when Uncle Buddy died, and the property ended up being sold to developers. All my hard work torn out in the span of hours.

Tomarse posted:You don't get 43cm wheels stupid - They are 415mm.... 390mm is the one we got most here in the US, thanks to Ford. A friend had a set in his '84 Cougar, back in '88-89. Tires got too expensive so we got him some junkyard 15s.

Olympic Mathlete posted:The highlighted bit is a US thing. Never seen a UK recipe use that because as mentioned before in this thread, WHAT SIZE OF CUP? A "cup" is a unit of volume measure = to 8 fluid ounces, or 236.6 ml. What's so hard about that? It's a standardized unit, just like liters or whatever. I mean, when something calls for 3 feet, do you always "whose foot?" (Or even whose yard?) E: f,b. Twice.
