I can't remember the last time I went out for steak Yep to both of these. My wife and I had some stupid-thick Strip steaks last weekend. Once you get seasoning and cooking down, there is no benefit to a steak house. You can absolutely hit peak steak in your own house. drat. I want more steak now.

Cop Porn Popper posted:A basic ER admission. Bullshit. You cannot walk into an ER without a $1000+ bill. I went in in January for an Achilles tendonitis problem that I knew was going to need an MRI, I thought that the new, fancy hospital by me would have an MRI machine. It was 5:00AM on a Sunday morning. I was in, they took my vitals, saw the doctor right away who said they can't do anything, gave me a prescription for steroids and told me to follow up with an ortho place. I was in and out in 20 minutes, and they told me there was nothing they could do. Then I received a $1800 bill from the hospital and $600 from the doctor. US healthcare is a loving joke. But that's not news. Also -- Amazon is down again, this time affecting the storefront. I don't think this cloud thing is working out so well.

That kinda confirms my thoughts on the lumber... I'll go to the local dedicated lumber yard. I need to go there anyway to get doors to match what I've got now. Thanks! Edit: looking at the stock list for the local lumber yard and yeah, they've got a shitload more selection in stock than HD. So now I just need to get working. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Mar 11, 2017 |

Tough one. A detailer can get 90% of those out. A wax made for black cars will make the rest of the scratches mostly disappear. It's bad, but the good thing is that "black waxes" are perfect to hide the damage. Edit: on that note, if you have a medium-colored car that has a nasty white-showing scratch that stands out, a "black wax" will hide the scratch really well. The white just seems to jump out at you, but getting a darker color hides well. I tried that on my beater Avalon that has a number of bad scratches, and it made a really stunning difference. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Mar 18, 2017 |

everdave posted:Thanks, will do some checking around this coming week. What should be a fair price? I'm assuming that the scratches are only on the bottom half (where a 2 year old can reach)? I am not really worried about the dishwashing liquid or even the Scotchbrite pad, but the gravel... yeah, that's bad. I'd say $200 at a detailer would be ballpark. Or, for the same $200 you could buy a Porter Cable orbital buffer, some pads and some product and have a bonding time with your wife... and get some microfiber cloths and let your devil spawn help to wipe off.

BigPaddy posted:If I buy a house no one is telling me what to do with it and I will build a moat and fill it with snapping turtles if needs be. Blanket statements about houses, like most blanket statements, fail to take real life into account. the spyder posted:Ahahahahaha. gently caress me. Our well pump clogged nearly solid Saturday (bad iron bacteria infection, eats pumps every ~7 years). I caught the local supply house at 3:59. Got everything I needed and arranged for a few friends to come over today to pull it. Went ahead and did the pipe/wire at the same time since it had 70's black PVC all the way down. Everything went great. New pump in, new pipe, regulator readjusted. Beautiful. I can shower. Opps. better lock the shop first. Walk by the pump house... why does it sound like a waterfall? gently caress ME. While the system was down I redid a leaking fitting on the pressure tank. Must have overtightened it by a solid 1-2 turns... It blew a 1x1" chunk out. Lesson learned. Finger tight +1/2 turn, NO TAPE only dope. See... I'll bet that this guy doesn't have an HOA. But, he's dealing with some of the nasty poo poo you deal with when you live in a non-developed area. He probably has septic, too. I owned a well/septic house for 15 years. loving nightmare how much I had to deal with water issues. My well had iron bacteria, too. I lived with just a water softener for a number of years, then bought an iron filter. These are big units that require regular reagent additions -- salt or potassium for those two filters. Potassium is nasty, stains and gets everywhere. Salt is cheap, but heavy and annoying. With septic I had to have the driveway marked for where the caps were to the tanks that stored my poo poo, so I could pay someone to come and suck the poo poo out of my tanks every couple years. gently caress all that noise. I spent far too much time and money on just keeping the water situation sorted in that house. If I let anything slip, the house would let me know by staining every loving thing in the washer a lovely shade of orange/yellow. I live in an area with an HOA now. It is moderately annoying. I have to pay $200/year for the privilege. But, there are a lot of maintained, large green areas. Nice flowers, lighted brick columns at the entrance to each street. I can work on my car all I want. There's really no interference from the HOA. The only thing I can't do is fence in the yard with a fence taller than 4' or put solar panels on the roof. Fair loving trade off to be able to get clean, drinkable water at will from the tap with no maintenance and to know that when I flush the toilet, I'll never see that poo poo again.

spog posted:A TV programme about cars is Very Serious Business: From the linked vid: "Unfortunately, on Velocity’s first attempt at producing the show they found Wheeler Dealers ‘too difficult to make’, ‘at least in its current format’. In particular, the detailed and in depth coverage of my fixes in the workshop; what I consider to be the backbone and USP of the programme, are something Velocity feel should be reduced. The workshop jobs are certainly the hardest part of the show to make and reducing their substance and role in the show will save the production considerable time, effort and therefore money. However, this new direction is not something I am comfortable with as I feel the corners I was being asked to cut compromised the quality of my work and would erode my integrity as well as that of the show, so I have come to the conclusion that my only option is to let Velocity get on with it, without me." Lol. gently caress Velocity.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Perhaps the newer version of the Nexus 6, known as the Nexus 6P? Through the Nexus 4, 5, and 6, I was ways using a 1-year-old Nexus. Each year, Google would announce a new model and blow out the previous year's. I got the N6 for $199 straight from Google. They didn't do that with the 6p, though.  I F5-ed myself nearly to death on Amazon's warehouse and was finally able to jump on a 64gb N6p at $250, but it took a couple weeks of stalking.I totally didn't need the 6p, though. The 6 did everything I needed. My wife's N5 started with some battery issues though, so I gave her the 6 and I took the 6p. I like the bigger screen of the 6 better, but the fingerprint sensor on the 6p is really handy.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Goddamn, $250? Mine's from Amazon Warehouse Deals too, but it was a bit of an impulse buy. And I agree, the fingerprint sensor is drat nice. Like I said, it took some stalking. It was the first Warehouse thing I bought "Not in original packaging," and I was expecting to send it right back. To my surprise, it came absolutely flawless, with all accessories, just missing the original packaging. I've found Amazon's Warehouse to be extremely hit-or-miss. Brakes pads and rotors? I only buy them from the Warehouse. TPMS sensors? Ended up with super-old stock. With their return policy, though... as long as you don't NEED it right away, it's worth the gamble.
