So I haven't dropped much weight - not even 10 pounds - but I'm making an effort to eat a bit better, and trying to work out a couple of times a week.

Honest question, how's your drinking?

Tomarse, I see no fuel/vac hose in that list.

Also that list is slightly better equipped than my whole garage, I know all the landy jokes but are they really that bad?

They really aren't, but bear in mind his is both deviated from standard a fair way at this point, and is more of an "expedition" setup.

The last time I bought cookies etc into work I locked the excess up in my desk at the end of my shift. In the morning my desk had been broken open and my good torch, work camera, laser and all my decent pens had also been stolen.

Pro tip it's easier to lever the top up on the average desk drawer unit than to break the lock.

I never really thought about the ratio but I bought a house 4.bit x my annual income but I put down about 1 x in equity. That's not terrible I think?

And I want to do the sugar free gummy bears thing but I'd have to tell the people I do like not to eat them and why and then it'd spread and I'd probably get told off.

Putting sawdust in there may attract a hamster to live in the engine, which would actually measurably increase the output.

Actually it does run quite nicely, it just gets hot really fast - But the BMW isn't going anywhere! I've not put any money/time into it really, so it's not particularly acting like a millstone, but it's one of the entries on the "never sell" list.



Cleaned up pretty well with just a basic wash. Will give it a bit more of a going over tomorrow to take some pictures. Stuck a spare charged battery in it and it seems happy enough, engine issue notwithstanding. Turns out there's only 32k on it, too.

Well if you're after making a little space there's about 6 cubic feet of car I'll take off your hands back there.

Actually that's quite nice looking, for a ka.

Any sub $100 tablet suggestions? (Is the fire hd the only option)

I have a kindle fire hd8 that is hosed. Keeps turning off even after a hard reset, so it is a hardware issue.
Warranty is only 3 goddamn months, tablet is 6 months old. A bunch of bullshit.
Amazon will give me $20 off a new one, but I dunno that I want to reward bullshit again.
Use is only browsing the internet and watching netflix/hulu/amazon.

Guess I shoulda bought the extended warranty, I didn't realize this only had a 3 month warranty.

Don't know how much they cost over your way but the wife and I have different variants of the Lenovo tab3 10". Both cost £100 and apart from a brightness bug which is fixed by installing an app, turning a setting off and removing the app, pretty good.

My '08 1.2 fire panda has been completely trouble free and I have to work hard to get the economy below 50. In retrospect I'd have either bought the cheapest one I could find and treated it as disposable, or spent a little more for a 500 but I'm sticking with this until my needs change.

Politely decline seems to have earned himself a stalker with backup. Video evidence backed up online and repeated reports to the police as personal defense, "I'm engaged to be married to someone well out of my league" as reputational defense.

Nothing incredible, a woman at work I've always had a bit of a crush on, we got thrown to working together and after talking shop she mentions casually she's always fancied me but lucky for our SO's we're both married. Moments later she just as casually asks if my department has had the pleasure of the recent influx of Italian graduates. The words "greasy workshy wop" were used. No boner.

Cold shower, at that. Keeps it from getting in your skin and itching like crazy.

We need a science goon to weigh in, but if he's already hot sweaty and itchy its to late and a cold shower will shut the pores over the fibres yes? So a hot shower and cold beer would be better, scrub some of the fibres out.

I needed the floor space in my garage yesterday so I tried to lift my pillar drill onto the bench.
Then I tried jacking it up to the point I could grip it better.
Then I tried taking it apart to make it lighter but couldn't get a wrench or socket to fit any bolt.
Then I ended up rocking/wedging/levering/walking it onto the bench, then I had to stand on the bench to stand it up.

Then I googled the spec to figure out the bolt sizes and found it apparently weighs like 100kg, I'm only 68. Huh.

I'm sure I could deadlift 100kg. At least once. The drills a stupid shape though, save it for crossfit.

Funny aside: my wife wasn't happy with the finish on the camping trailer so she wrapped it in duct tape while I was at work.

4x3 is a pretty standard cargo trailer over here. I'd do bad things to get my hands on a 4x8 horror freight kit for the price you guys pay.

E:mines smaller because that's what was cheap near me on eBay like 8 years ago.
