Yeah, well, you're also on fire.

It's still snowing, and the snow is so drat sticky.





It's heavy as hell to move and the bottom inch needs scraping. Hate this kind of snow.

Emergency vet took him in and gave him some pain relief after a quick exam, they are going to try squeezing the piss out of him, and if that fails then x-ray/bloods/catheter. Been a few hours and no news is good news, waiting till tonight for a full update. House feels so loving empty without him around.

Good luck. I'm dealing with a cat with FLUTD right now too :(

Cats can get what is effectively bladder stones but more of a crystal "sand", it could be that.

Crystals and stones are more common, but my cat has FLUTD caused by the proteins from the inside of his swollen bladder delaminating and clogging the urethra.

We've been treating it with cartrophen (an anti-arthritis drug) and so far it seems to be helping. He does keep trying to pee outside the box, and it was super scary when he got blocked though. But there is hope :)

How do cats fare as garage buddies? Right now my fiance and I have two four month old kittens that I wouldn't dare let into the garage (because everything must be tasted, eaten, and thoroughly pounced upon right now) but I'm wondering if I'll eventually be able to trust the little buggers around garage stuff.

Well, once we stop moving for work and settle into a house I'll have a chemicals cabinet I can lock--I don't have that right now so it's pretty dangerous for kitties.

My biggest worry would be spilled coolant or something like that. Cats have the world's worst kidney system, and antifreeze could probably really screw up a cat.

I came across this drat van today and I don't know, I kinda like it. '64 G10, straight 6 and 3 on the tree.



It's tagged and cranked right up. I might buy it, depending on what the old guy wants for it.

Buy it, one day we'll all be dead and at least then you can have "had an awesome van" written on your gravestone.

More like the non-colorblind person should pick the color. :wtf:

A couple years ago my mom went to go visit her family and my dad (who is colourblind) decided to paint their bathroom as a surprise, so he enlisted the kids to come help. He swore up and down that the paint chip he found in the bathroom was the one that she had picked out.

For about a year they had a blood-red and I mean blood-red bathroom.

Feeling a bit down about the wagon, I pulled the ITR from storage. Took it for a little shake down cruise and it somehow sheared the crankshaft bolt. The main pully dropped, shredded all the accessory belts and timing belt on the highway. What's left of the crankshaft bolt is broke off inside the crankshaft. The engine sounded very sick and surely bent valves. I'm so sad.

Aww dang. Hope you can get the ITR fixed. I love both your Hondas.

Way late to radio chat but I picked up a Kienzle MCR 1016 BT for the E28. Decent amount of functions while not being too flashy or ugly to look at in something older.

It has Bluetooth? I dig it.

:argh: cut the gap from the bumper too big:

even though this started out as bodge-fuckery, I'm gonna have to close the gap up before sanding.

Did you clean the rust out on the backside of the fender and seal that poo poo up too? Otherwise it'll just rust from the back and get trapped against the bondo. Hopefully it's thin enough now that it's only surface right now.

Also, get a bondo rasp because it will save you so much time shaping that poo poo.

Nah, this is the only thing they've asked me to do that makes me uncomfortable, and that's because *I, personally* am uncomfortable with cold calling and pretending to be someone else. I don't improv (AKA bullshit) well, and it's vaguely stupid and poorly planned anyway. I like the work. I build and deploy machines. It's 99% at the local office, and there's none of that call metric/ticket queue metric SLA garbage. The other two IT guys at this location are permanent employees, and, outside of a few very specific things, they've treated me like an employee. I got to go to San Diego for their annual conference, and participate in whatever parties and such that they provide. I mean, I've had ample time to type this up...
I hate for it to boil down to money, but I got to pay the bills, unfortunately.
This stuff with the pretexting calls is me just being... me (spergie.)

You should subcontract to the skeeziest con artist you can find in the city. It's over the phone...

Coincidentally, was talking to a 20-something guy a few weeks ago and he was describing some guy he that had this super slicked back hair. I asked if it was like the girls from the Palmer video... and he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about :bahgawd:

I just assumed everyone knew about that video. Guess not :(

If he's in his 20s he's never seen MTV run a music video, and perhaps only vaguely remembers Much running music videos.

The AIest way to celebrate False American Thanksgiving is to head on down to Pick Your Part for El Pulpo's Turkey Day Turkey Chase!

Pay a quarter and get the chance to chase a real, live turkey around a junkyard. If you manage to rope it, you get to bring it home for your Thanksgiving meal! Not everyone thought it was as great an idea, so Pick Your Part ended up donating all the turkeys free to good homes.

the only thing i get on linkedin are recruiters who want me to come work for their company doing the same or similar job for about 10% less than what i currently make, which is already $40,000 under the market average for someone with my skills

I like to tell them that I'll need a $40,000 raise to make me leave my awesome company and it works great

A couple years ago, Amazon had the worst recruiters. I'd get like four or five messages a day from them.

I feel like the LinkedIn for me is like a crutch, I should probably delete it because the sort of "they'll come to me!" fantasy is pretty strong.

They do come to me, but it's basically just all lovely recruiters. I feel like the good stuff has to be chased at least a bit.
