I should mention that I did do a vin search and my car is IN FACT an orange title and I'm okay with that because I look forward to the sweet embrace of death (also because I'm getting a new car this summer)

Unfortunately, need a Tech2 or something like a Verus to dig that deep on his car. Basically a reader that can speak GM LAN.


Goddamn. A photographer/storm chaser I follow posted a radar screenshot of that poo poo. Looked really ugly.

About a year ago we got pounded with anything from dime size to grapefruit size hail (depending where you were). The grapefruit poo poo went right through the roof of a lot of houses, but it mostly hit out in the northeastern sticks (Wylie, Sachse, etc). A few friends had all of their cars written off at once with that, on top of their houses being left uninhabitable for a bit. Thankfully where I was at only saw about nickle size - parents got a new roof and fence out of it, my car and mom's car escaped any damage (stepdad's truck got a few dings).


Eh.. I don't know you, but that message coming up every time I drove (along with the DING DING DING DING warning when it pops up) would drive me loving crazy. Altho IIRC you silenced yours, right?

Yup that poo poo has been silenced for like three years lol

Friend of mine with more money than he knows what to do with has a big interest in getting this old firehouse and living in it while converting the lower level into a full-on wrencher's paradise.

Elon Musk is a giant turd and I hope his business fails

FAT32 SHAMER
Aug 16, 2012



Musk wrote a more strongly worded letter about not using acronyms in the space engineering sector than he did "condemning" trump's anti Muslim ban. He's worshiped by libertarian tech lords who believe him to be the messiah when really he helped start a bunch of lovely businesses that would have failed if not propped up by VC

He and his ilk can suck a fat cock and will be first against the wall

Start reading the SecFuck thread in yospos and poke around at job listings for that position to see what kind of experience they want, then compare that to what experience you have

I mean okay, but if you're looking to get into techy stuff, manufacturing is headed that way and the barrier to entry into the field for tech automation in an industrial setting is much lower than in pure tech where you'll run into 8 billion Tusen Takks that live in a software bubble wholly disconnected from manufacturing/industry. By that I mean you'll be effective and helpful with actual issues much much sooner and have much less competition.

I write automation software though 😞

Straight up dude I graduated uni with a 2.6 and the lowest you could get is a 2.5

Granted I have no idea how it works for engineering but I still managed to find a great job that didn't care about my GPA, only about what I knew and what I was willing to learn.

If I hadn't worked 50hr/week and played a lot of video games I probbo would have done better (aka played more video games and less work) but eh

That sounds familiar. I was introduced to a bloke years back and he was ok I guess, a bit full of himself but fine in short doses. He acquires a girlfriend who is just adorable and cool and everyone loves her to bits. He loses his mind a little and gets deep into conspiracy theories and spends far too much time on sites like tumblr and becomes the most obnoxious dipshit ever thinking he's better than everyone. All of my friends try to avoid talking to him as much as possible but have all the time in the world for her and we're all very confused about what she sees in him.

...and this was before he decided he liked to dress up in women's clothing, spend all the rent money on make up and get himself sacked from his job for being a twat.

Can we not argue about what voodoo is voodoo and what voodoo is actual for real voodoo?

edit:
My mother died because she was told she had lyme disease by some doctor who did non-standard therapy and was being treated for that for five years instead of the normal couple of months. she only ever saw a specialist and it never occurred to those motherfuckers that wow that sure sounds like a symptom of lung cancer progressing to her entire body!!!

i dont mean to get pissy but like alternative therapy only makes money because it makes desperate people hope that they can be cured from an awful thing and it preys on them and sucks their money

there is no hope for anyone and we're all going to die because big pharma, the ones who employ actual scientists, make more money keeping you alive and miserable

Don't be daft. If you could solve your dicomfort by adjusting your diet or taking meds which would you choose? There's no wrong answer, it's whatever pros and cons you are willing to accept. If commie doesn't want to give up his favorite foods that's fine and up to him. He might change his mind later and might not, until you experience a disease like IBD you can't really judge people on how they decide to treat it, each person learns from their experience. I was just trying to pass my experiences to him so he has an idea on what to expect going into it.


Depending on what they find out with further testing (you may be taking a pill cam as well) they may start you out on mild to agressive steroids. Whatever you do, don't let them prescribe it for longer than required (usually no longer than a year to try to stimulate remission) or it can be detrimental. My docs hosed up and kept me on it longer than I should have and I'm paying for it now.

Oh don't get me wrong I'm not saying changing a diet can't do anything, what I am saying is don't get your hopes up for CBD doing anything and even if it did good loving luck getting anything like that OK'd until the very last boomer is rotting in the grave (then we have quite a few GenX'ers to worry about echoing the boomer mindset)
