There was a sale and I picked up one of those USB powerbank/jumpstarters. It feels solid and of good quality. I still don't believe it until I see it work but I am going to try to jump the Majesta with it tonight or tomorrow (pouring down rain now)

STR sounds like you need to get out while you can - or ride that crazy train til the crash it’s your choice! Out of the past 35 days I’ve had the kids a minimum of 25 days (don’t know the exact amount at least that much). Not that it matters my kids come first but yeah the girls I had been seeing have left for greener pastures

I love nothing more than hot and spicy. If I could I would travel the world eating the spiciest and hottest things I could find. Alas, my old body can not handle it anymore. I won't go into details. Would it be ridiculous to send 14 some opened bottles of hot sauce (that are virtually full)? They are from my favorite pizza place and they are both fantastic. I hate to see them go to waste.

Hate to ask more questions but is it worth it to pay a lot more and stay near French Quarter / Bourbon Street or in the day and age of uber is it ok to stay by airport? We are talking about hundreds of dollars difference (New Orleans)

The Royal Nonesuch posted:Stay near Frenchman street if you can - it's way better than Bourbon and doesn't smell quite as strongly of piss. Lots of great live music.You can walk to Bourbon and check it out, but it wasn't really my scene. I'd spring for a place close personally - it's really nice to be able to walk/stumble back to your airbnb etc. if you need to take a break, use the restroom, whatever. Cool I will look. Not going to be there for 2 days. If nothing else I think I’m going to blow 30k points on this “Eliza Jane” hotel unless I find a decent safe spot close for a good cash price. Also thanks Rhyno

jamal posted:Generally in the ballpark of 5-600, but that assumes you put everything together right and have a way to tune it. And $1300 of ebay garbage is going to cost a lot more to actually get to fit and work properly and then the turbo will probably explode on the first pull. I trust your word but I had no idea it would approach that. Wow. Any thoughts on timing belt and one giant turbo cost? This motor is supposed to take insane boost on stock internals right? I’m kinda ready to go full retard. $5k allin with new tires too would kinda be my artificial limit

The Door Frame posted:I'm having an idea that I think is a bad one, but I'm not sure. When my fiance left, it was so sudden and we didn't even talk about what was happening for 5 minutes. No joke, the music I was listening in my headphones (yes I took them out) before she gave my ring back and subsequently left had only gone forward by one song The most powerful thing you can do Ian move on and let them think you dont give a poo poo. A girl broke up with me in October and she is great and I have nothing bad to say but man I wish I had not sent a single text after even though it was nothing bad. Just move on and take power and comfort in it nothing good will come from contacting her. I’m old and I know please don’t if you can but if you do I understand.

I just got a renewal notice for the Prius that I had to give to my lazy bum of an ex-wife. This means it is still in my name and she is out I am sure often driving drunk in a car in my name registered to me. What the hell can I do? I signed the title over to her in July. This is a person who was told by the judge in December to get a job and of course she hasn’t.

cakesmith handyman posted:Strapping the title to a handy raccoon would be more effective at this point. You joke but I still have raccoons, they are getting smarter I guess I have been thinning the herd of the less intelligent. Haven't caught one this week (they've been stealing the food from the traps) Edit: she just picked up the youngest and I told her you have to get the title out of my name she is all like "oh yeah i forgot" so i don't expect much to happen. I have so much to deal with down at the County Clerk (how we register cars here). Majesta title STILL not here and need to register the LandCruiser today.

Seat Safety Switch posted:You could probably drive the motor backwards with a power drill. Hopefully it's just the switch and nothing else went bad or sheared. Does it make any noise when the switch is pushed at all? He said it sounds like it clicks. We are at a bar. He has 3 kids and I have 2 and we both blowing off some steam. I’ll begrudgingly fix it for him if I know what to do this weekend

It is not expensive to run cables through the walls. My TVs all “float” and people are impressed. Did it while handling other stuff. I wore a sweater from high school to the bar tonight and I had multiple guys and girls tell me how much they liked it/how I looked. I am straight but I value a gay dudes compliment over anything. What the hell its a green sweater? I mean people were coming up to tell me. It’s an Abercrombie “muscle fit” sweater from 1995

Rhyno posted:I posted in the IYG thread but who here is invested in a smart home ecosystem? We're kind of split evenly here as far as Google and Amazon devices go with no real preference going forward. The Amazon Ring security system seems to be a great deal with excellent reviews and it looks like it can be seamlessly integrated with their Blink cameras. Is anyone running that equipment? I have the Arlo cameras and my buddy has them on his new $350k house. I can’t recommend enough. I have Amazon echo dot hooked to a speaker for music and it is awesome for playing Spotify. My friends love it. You can do things with Arlo and Alexa but I haven’t bothered setting it up.

I am TN through and through but man I like Kansas City style sauce, Memphis style, Carolina mustard / vinegar and even “shudder” Alabama white. I’ll take it all! If y’all ever in Nashville you gotta try Martins bbq. He serves up different sauces if you ask including a white. Everything is fantastic. And Chili for me too: I make it with beans I make without. Just give me Dat chili any way you like it (though chicken chili doesn’t seem to be for me, or at least I haven’t had a memorable one)

You will probably have to ask for other sauces but if you do they will know you are there for the food and not to just be in a hot spot. On a weekend night skip the line of 100+ and just go sit at the rooftop bar and order (yes this is allowed but nobody knows)

I installed Schlage keypads on front and back doors (but also bought ones that had a key backup in case they failed). Holy hell what a great upgrade for my small house. Love them and I got them about half off on an Amazon sale. For the past year my left small toe has been painful and I didn’t know if it was a bunion or corn or tumor or what as I just have never had any foot issues. After googling and reading about bunion surgeries and all that I just decided to say gently caress it and I cut the hard bump/mass off. Instant relief by id say 90+ % and it didn’t even bleed. What the hell was it? It looked like just a hard white/yellow hard pimple or similar. I can’t believe I have lived with this for so many months.

Rhyno posted:From what I've read the "paint + primer" covers well enough that many people are good with one coat. I expected to do two coats so we'll see. And I did note to get ceiling specific paint. Thankfully only a few rooms have odd colors, it's mostly light paint. I will make a point of getting good tools for the job. What about edgers? Do any of these paint-the-upper-walls-without-masking-the-ceiling tools actually work? If you don’t spend at least an equal time taping as painting then you doing it wrong. I swear by Sherwin Williams and I have never primed and I can almost promise you I have painted more houses than you. Good tape, good paint, cheap brushes is how I roll. Some of those edgers have their place you gotta keep em light coat and clean. Anyways I took the Landcruiser out tonight (spotlights were for pic I don’t drove around with em on)
