CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Twitter is also run by someone who at best is a neo Nazi sympathizer so Twitter can go get hosed. Either link the real article or gently caress off. Im not reading or clicking links to Twitter Idk about all of that but all social media will rot the brains right out of your ears and if you know what's good for ya you'll stay away from it. I sometimes wish that smartphones never became a thing and the boomers didn't get on social media. Anyways, do you guys have an IRC?

I have a coworker that paid sticker for a Turbo Veloster 2 years ago. He convinced his grandmother to pay of the $25k in debt he owed on the car on the condition that he quit smoking. Next day he shows up to work with a murdered out Miata NC smoking a cigarette... Found out later that the day after his Grandmother paid off the Veloster he sold it at CARMAX for $10k and then bought the NC off Craigslist for $7k. I can't look the kid in the eye anymore like what the gently caress. AND he didn't even really try to quit smoking.

So they started blocking the random ports that WoW used at the edge firewall and watching him ask people if they were having any connectivity problems(unsurprisingly no one was) trying to pretend he wasn't troubleshooting why WoW wasn't working. Lmao I wish someone here would do that. I don't have any control over the network in my office but I do talk to the IT guy every now and then. I bet he'd find it funny so maybe I can get him to do it. I'm not going to lie though I've played AOE2 here before but only when there was no one else around and I didn't have anything else to do.

Very tempted to buy my Buddy's Miata. 225k miles but the original (and previous) owner kept ever single service record for the car and it's completely almost completely stock and unmolested. The only modification on the car is a strut bar and new springs/shocks (also BBS wheels). It's a 1993 NA and he wants $3k for it but I want to see if he'll come down to $2500.

Goober Peas posted:I drove the entire length of I-40 in TN yesterday in pouring rain the entire way. Don't most late model Lexusi have automatic headlights? Also in my city for whatever reason the Nissan Altima is a low car in the same way the PT Cruiser was a low car a few years ago. I don't know why it is but some of these cars aren't even 10 years old and they're falling apart on the street in front of me seemingly. I always just assumed that they're either cheap or for whatever Nissan will take credit scores under 600.

Goober Peas posted:I think all of those cars have stalk mounted headlight controls with 'auto' as a middle position. Ahh interesting - the only car I've driven with automatic headlights was my dad's 2009 BMW 335d and that's set to automatic by default (far left position on the dial). This would make sense though. I also feel like Nissan are really popular vehicles to lease (at least in my area) which may account for drivers not understanding their cars controls as well as someone who has been with the car for awhile.

Goober Peas posted:Nissan (and Hyundai) have pretty much taken up all of the rental car slack that GM and Ford used to do. So there are a lot of used ones on the road. Huh I've never rented a car but I guess this makes sense. I've heard that they've been eating the lunch of American car companies that have produced a void for cheap rental car type vehicles. Idk why but I still don't trust Hyundai because I still associate Korean cars with the Daewoo Lanos one of my good friends drove in highschool. Worst car I've ever been in. Thing was falling apart at 30k miles.

Kazinsal posted:The odd one with proper automatic headlights for me was a 1990 Chevrolet Beretta GT. My G5 and Accord didn't have it and my FR-S doesn't. It boggles my mind that my 80s-tastic GM "mmmmmmnngeeehhhh it's better than a cavalier but less than a camaro" box of weirdness had them but my Huh I test drove a Toyota 86 a few months ago and it had them but of course on the test drive they put me in the most ripped out model they had that still had a manual transmission. Even then the interior of that care was pretty barren which I actually liked because I don't like cars that have a bunch of dumb gadget stuff on them. Also it likes to rev

Hopefully we won't end up as Soylent Green but at this point no one can guarantee that. Even if there was universal basic income, I would still want to work honestly.

Kazinsal posted:Yeah the FR-S and BRZ didn't have the automatic headlights option until they scrapped the Scion brand and brought the Toyota 86 badging over. I want one so bad. I just went on the test drive because I heard that they're pretty much letting anyone finance a car these days and I wanted to test that. I'm pretty poor but my credit score is actually pretty great so they offered the $28k brand new 86 for $0 down and Zero % APR for the first two years. Obviously I didn't buy it because I can't afford a new car (I'd be stoked to own anything with under 150kmi on the clock) but yeah it's freaking sweet and I wish I could afford one. What's the used market of the old FRSs looking like these days? Previa_fun posted:I think most people would. Normal mentally healthy people need to be directing their energy somewhere for self-actualization. The strawman of "lazy people sitting around all day" points to a deep pandemic of undiagnosed depression. I think the issue is more complicated that than but yeah it's also not as simple as "poor people are lazy". I'm sure there are different people out there but personally I need to do something even if it's painting parking garages (my first job out of college).

So basically what you're saying is that Elon Musk is an alien-vampire-reptile and we're all being secretly sold into neo-slavery so we can run on a treadmill all day powering the "pleasure orbs" of the rich in exchange for credits we can only use at the company store to keep ourselves alive by purchasing porn and nutrition/vitamin-plasma.

Kazinsal posted:I bought a 2014 last year that was a lease return with 52,000 km (32,000 mi) on it and no major damage (dealer replaced a cracked front bumper a few months into the lease, but that's it) for $20,000 CAD, plus a bit on top of that for an extended warranty, just in case any catastrophic technical bulletins or whatnot show up in the next couple years. If you go by owner you're going to find a bit more of a price spread because people will try to unload an FR-S for brand new 86 money on the grounds of "well I sunk $10k in upgrades into it so you're getting your money's worth". Yeah I see a lot of FRSs rolling around my city that are absolutely destroyed with camber'd tires, drift stitches, and the like. I would never buy a modified car like that because I just assume that the previous owner ruined it. I'm gonna give it a few more years and see if I can find one on the cheap.

STR posted:Pretty sure nearly every Lexus beyond the first gen ES (which was literally just a tarted up Camry) has auto headlights, but they have an "auto" and "off" position on the switch. They commonly get turned off when being worked on or run through a car wash. Huh good to know. I've heard that the automatic transmissions on those cars are particularly weak. It's funny how you can just tell the market of a vehicle by the state you see them in on the road. It probably does a lot of damage to the brand honestly. For example I have a friend that had no idea that Infinity was supposed to be a 'luxury' brand. He always assumed that they were markets as cheapo econoboxes for poors just because most of the ones he has seen on the road are falling apart.

His grandma paid off the car on the condition that he quit vaping. Next day he rolls up puffing away in a brand new vape he bought to match the Miata.

Rhyno posted:True. Nah it's because with smoking you can just buy a pack smoke it and throw it away. With vaping there's a lot of maintenance and thought you have to put into keeping the thing working properly. Also there are so many different types of vapes so naturally a lot of people who switch to vaping wind trying a number of different ones. Also there's building coils, different juices, different batteries etc. Basically it occupies enough of your mental energy throughout the week to want to talk to someone else about it.

Somewhat Heroic posted:Fruity antifreeze laden clouds are bad, but they are nowhere near the grossness of cigarette smoke. I applaud anyone trying to make positive changes in their life. Fruity clouds still smell better than AXE body spray so Yeah I really don't understand that, especially with products like the Juul that have so much nicotine in them that one pull will get you sick with no tolerance. I'm pretty sure that the juul is going to get banned the way kids keep buying them up.

I'm a serial-vapist Also I would recommend listening to/starting (if you haven't already) "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King. It's very good. If you want something a little more "popcorny" I would recommend reading Lee Iaccoca's Autobiography. I read it cover to cover this past weekend and enjoyed it.
