Nigella's cans need some mid-region waxing and/or a time machine that goes back to 1992. Or both, it's hard to say since this completely not weird gigantic huge picture of some broad in the car thread in the year 2017 is only 5 megapixels.

Except for the worms 'n' chives bowl, every one of those food pictures individually constitutes the number of calories I eat in any 3 day period as a 210 pound grown adult man who works out daily, and that's including alcohol (which makes up 79% of my caloric intake) Congratulations on your trip to the midwest/south!

Somewhat Heroic posted:Having a safety recall done on my M3. They put me into a loaner 2017 430 gran coupe. Not a terrible looking car. It has the new little turbo 4 pot and 8 speed auto. I'm most impressed with the transmission. Granted I have like 12 miles of experience but it's not awful. The leather and interior is not nearly as refined or nice to touch as the M. Novillo leather is just so soft to touch. It has the Harmon Kardon stereo that is pretty good. Nothing happens power wise below ~2300 RPM. BMW scrubby non-Novillo interiors after the E90's are cheap garbage and seriously put me off (as if going from a NA V8 to a turbo'd 6 with a stereo noise enhancer wasn't enough).... I actually lol'd when I touched the 'leather' in my buddy's F80 M3 compared to what is in my car, it feels like the vinyl in my dad's 1976 Volvo 240. Congrats on your new airbag, I too finally got that letter after 2 years of constantly calling BMW NA. To whoever commented on the free 11 cents worth of tire use, good luck getting any sort of burnoff in that car's 100k mile treadlife tires compared to what SH's used to in his his own. You can't even probably turn the TC off completely in that salesrepmobile. Gran Coupe is french for "We'll sell you $4500 worth of carbon fibre door sills and "M' badges.". I also broke my own uber record of $98 by taking a $117 uber from Milwaukee to Madison at 3am after United Airlines hosed everything up they possibly could and kept me traveling for 22 hours to get the (not) astonishing distance from LAX to My favorite part of the day's United Airlines (@united) is A Load of Assbozos fuckups was watching when they let two people with invalid boarding passes for a future date onto an airplane bound from Denver-SFO, and bumped two ticketed and checked in passengers who were late to the gate to accommodate the random unticketed idiots (the paid and ticketed passengers were late to the gate because United hosed up their flight too.) Yay security. theatre. Glad TSA makes me take my sunglasses off at the check in booth but can't read the date on a boarding pass. At least they removed the unticketed passengers after they were on the plane with the chance to leave explosives/knives/whatever on for half an hour. I wish I'd recorded it, twitter and worldstar love that kind of thing. I know for a fact I could have flown to Paris and driven to the 'Ring in gently caress United forever. I gave my boy Shady another $40 in cash for his effort. If they ever invent Uber Air, I am all over buying shares.

Cool, I guess Apple has more liquid cash than any government on the planet and sells $500 laptops to $1500 hipsters for $3000 because they're one of the moral companies that don't cut any corners on worker safety, who pay american workers full wages to build their products in the good ol' USA, and don't steal IP from smaller companies. But y'know I read an article once about how uber is bad so

Well, you've got me there. Apple's long history of female CEOs is truly impressive and their senior leadership consisting of 3 women of 17 positions is about as equal as I can handle, as a regressive who thinks that the legions of taxi companies owned, run, and staffed by women are a poo poo business model that deserved to die.

I took an uber out to a buddy's house today to see a couple of the new things that have accumulated in his garage since I saw him last summer he wasn't sure if he's going to keep this one since it's hot as hell to ride in and the seats aren't what one would call luxurious, but it sounds pretty nice and we definitely got lots of looks    This is going to be his daily driver for the summer    Not sure if the white one is worth the effort to bring it cosmetically up to snuff but it apparently tears rear end, and he might put that motor into this red one instead    I'm going to head out to his shop on thursday and see the rest of his collection that's a little further along in the restoration department, he also just got (at auction, at a insane steal of a price) a 2008 Audi S8 with the Lambo V10 in it he wants to show me. I'm curious to see how that goes compared to the S65.

Enourmo posted:Anyone else get really self conscious about showing anger in front of others? I managed to gently caress up and lost about 3 hours of CAD work earlier; I swore, slammed my laptop shut, and pounded my fist on the table so hard everyone in the room kinda gave me a look. I've redone the lost work and it didn't take that long, but I still feel like a jackass for... being upset? Idk, it's weird. There's a fine line between being cool and sort of funny-angry and 'hm this guy could snap angry'. Take it down 2.3 levels there, my technique for that scenario is I loudly say "gently caress" so people know you're not fooling around, give your laptop the double fingers while you mutter "These loving idiots" and then you can be angry and also still make it seem like maybe it wasn't your own fault. Don't pound your fist on tables ever though. Especially since you're a large dude... and don't break poo poo either. Other than that, go for it dawg. Do your thing. Go get some fresh air, go have a drink. Also what's 3 hours in the overall remaining 48-72 hours you have left before our very impressive, strong and good and very smart president goads some other dipshit smalldick daddy's boy into a nuclear war in order to hide the fact Vladimir Putin owns everything he is and has?

fridge corn posted:but that's not how it works at all, at least according to one of the articles posted during this discussion. this sudden spike, like international terrorism, has gone from a 0.00001% chance to a 0.00005% chance of it actually happening to you or anyone you know. The cops in the UK not carrying assault rifles and shooting people because they looked brown/maybe scary/like a white australian woman is in fact, a GOOD thing. There's not some sort of acceptance of actual crime because the rozzers come to your house the next day instead of playing Roscoe P Coltrane down main roads because it gets their dicks hard to play hardman law enforcement when in fact most of them are poo poo drivers with poo poo ability to control themselves (at least in the US.) In Begbie's day, glassing was a far greater danger than any of the popular new techniques, yet... The daily mail never once reports on the 65 million people who aren't nightly attacked in the UK by horrible acid ASBOs in their hoodies.

I suppose you know whether or not your wife understands what 'turning over' means, but that isn't really a given even with a smart woman who's a non-car person. I have been unable to explain it to my wife after 15 years, partly because each of our various terrible broken cars do different things when they won't start from a dead battery, the oldest one will at least chug a little bit in a slow fashion but won't start, the newer old one won't do anything but click when it has a dead battery. It's also possible that while Steve is over having an affair with your wife, he didn't get the ground cable properly hooked to any bare metal and that's why it's turning over but not starting. Also, some idiot left the lights on overnight on my mom's car this last week (it was me) (I got used to how my car's automatic lights worked and hers are different, so I'd turned them to manual at some point) and all the Toyota Avalon dash poo poo and interior electrics worked and she could move the seat around when she tried to use it in the morning, but it wouldn't even click when she hit the starter button, then once the neighbor came over with his battery charger and zipped it up for 10 minutes it was completely fine to go. e: Heh at how many other people got similar responses in there while I typed that.

Cancer is real bad, miscarriages are unfortunate but like being thrown off a horse, get back out there son. You're young, your wife is young. It took my S-i-L like 5 years to get the baby she didn't want but now adores (her husband wanted babies) and she was about 40 when she started and had many false starts to begin with. The biggest issue is dealing with how she handles it, be there for her. I'm super equality based but also as a longtime woman-knower, they be a little nuts when hormones + tragedy happen at the same time. So suck it up, be prepared for Jekyll/Hyde syndrome, and refrain from complaining about it to your friends. You'll regret it later. Instant fix: Buy her that E9x M3 she didn't know she wanted until you took her out in the test drive for it. Then boom. Babies everywhere. Look at our Mormon friend, Somewhat Heroic. He can't walk past his wife without her going preggers, and if she's just had that 4 liter V8 rumbling underneath her.. twins. Triplets. It's madness. Or look at me, the guy with no kids because kids are evil and prevent your ability to do fun things... Either way, you've got an E9x M3.

Also don't make her go through weeks/months/etc of fertility checking without you getting checked at the same time. My aforementioned sister in law went through some truly horrid sounding tests only to find out a year later her husband's boys were a little... unphelpslike and she was perfectly fertile for a healthy 40ish+ lady at the time.

Cabo: all the cruise ship fun without the legionnaire's disease and endless amount of white americans: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g152515-d7891453-Reviews-The_Cape_a_Thompson_Hotel-Cabo_San_Lucas_Los_Cabos_Baja_California.html Their default picture isn't anywhere near as grand as the place actually is, I'm not sure why they chose that one. This more typifies the feel/vibe.  Late Oct/Early Nov. is the time to be in Cabo, before it gets to peak pricing but also past the main rainy month (early Oct.) I may be there myself around that time period, I'll buy you both a shot & a cerveza (unless she's pregnant again by then) if we happen to cross paths.

I have a i5 750 @ 2.67GHZ that's got to be about 7 or 8 years old now. I have never tried overclocking anything. Added 16 gigs of DDR3, and a GTX 1060 over the years, and a SSD for the boot drive, and I can run pretty much every game on highest settings at or around a pretty steady 60fps. It's pretty insane how long processors last these days.
