Outcomes are getting better for cancer, but it's still going to be a pretty rough time. Accountants and administrators keep screaming about doctors over-ordering tests and it's a horrible burden put on doctors, but it's ultimately the patients who suffer, because the doctors get their paycheck either way In lighter news, antique store score.  I'm just gonna ignore johnny reb so i can enjoy the british and the bismark getting hosed up.

The #1 human hand still makes for a good way to find poorly insulated HT leads on a running engine. Oops.

daslog posted:I want a dashcam for my truck. I'm not an uber driver or anything, but something to record accidents and police interactions. Galler posted:Ars had some suggestions on dash cams recently There is a dashcam thread, but if you are serious then get something from Street Guardian USA. They're active on the dashcam talk forums and have very good support. It's not worth gambling with a G1W or whatever cheap poo poo that might not actually work when you need it. See if the newer Garmins use a battery or capacitor, as the old models would overheat the battery and shut off. Also I'm waiting for the day we cure cancer.

Finally brought an end to my car buying saga. Got a 2015 Acura RDX. Bought directly from the original owner with 28k miles. The thing is flawless inside and the outside has never been touched, but has virtually no marks. I suck at taking pics for my projects thread, so no before pictures (other than this one that doesn't show anything), but it was covered with dirt and tar and sap. A few hours under the skilled meatpimp hands and it looks 100% better, and I'm just getting started. It'll look brand new when I'm done.

It was lots of fun. Will is totally useless though. When the do the modern day follow up we'll see Will as the first person to adopt the "incel" label.

Powershift posted:Fun game, find the coolest russian version of your car! Unsurprisingly, there aren't a lot of first-gen RX-7s: https://www.drive2.ru/cars/mazda/rx_7/g1221/  Those are super-rare wheels. I think I like where this one is going:  Love those widened steel wheels. Also, it's a 2.9 Ford V6. I imagine rotaries are even more rare there than, well, a lot of places. Powershift posted:There are 2 anime cars, a gulf car, and a 911 with beetle bodywork to make it look like herbie Holy poo poo even the bumper and horn vents. That is awesome. fridge corn posted:Season 3 of Stranger Things was really really bad. That's disappointing. Probably still going to watch it. Also, gently caress cancer. Scariest poo poo ever. That and dementia/alzheimers are my biggest fear.

Will was obnoxious throughout. Hopper was a shouty abusive shadow of his former self. There was no mystery or suspense to the horror. Russians (???). Leaned so heavily into blatant 80s nostalgia that it made me feel dumber by watching it. That last one was ny far the biggest problem I had with it tbh. Embarrassing really

So three weeks after my accident, no payout for my car yet. Geico thinks it's fair to offer me private party value for my car.....I'm not selling it to you assholes, I need the retail value since that's what it's gonna cost to replace it! When this is over I'm done with Geico.

That particular one is a Leyland version built on the MkIII Mini (aka the Clubman), so that would make it about the late 70's. Thanks! I had thought it was a Mini but the apparent angle of the front end in that shot made me reconsider. Good to know.

Previa_fun posted:If you're eligible for USAA, never don't have USAA. Yeah, they're not always the cheapest, but when a lady ran a red light causing me to t-bone her, with witness accounts and a police citation they waived my deductible, cut me a check in three days for the top possible KBB value for my Mustang (more than I had paid for it a year before) and immediately paid all the medical bills for my girlfriend's broken arm, I called them right after the ambulances left and while they were towing my car and spreading absorbent on the various fluids, and they offered to ring me a taxi and pay for it. Worth a couple extra bucks a month over GEICO or similar scumbags imo.

tfw you re-read S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" for the 20th time since you first read it at 12 and realize you're now older than Ponyboy's (age 14 in the book) dead parents were when they died in the car wreck. Sorry for the spoiler. Time loving flies.

gently caress, 35 years on on this planet today. I decided to take two weeks annual leave for my birthday this year because I’m not 100% sure I don’t hate my new job or not yet.. Went out with friends for dinner tonight. I’ve realised that I don’t have the biggest friends group in the world but the ones that I do do have are the greatest bunch of misfits and idiots a guy could ask for. I’ve spent the whole day playing Minecraft and day drinking talisker single malt scotch, went to a German pub with said friends for dinner and drank 3 steins of Dortmunder and now I’m sitting in front of a wood fire listening to Peking Duk and sipping on a glass of Johnny Walker green label. poo poo could be worse, if really could. Happy loving birthday to me!

Oh cool, all of the doctors/radiologists/oncologists teamed up and got a plan of action together in one day for us to figure out how we'll need to proceed by the end of the week. And then her health insurance said "Nah, you gotta wait." I'm loving done with this country.

Applebees Appetizer posted:You think maybe smoke inhalation issues or something related to the fire? Sorry man that sucks Probably not fire related, but they think overnight he had a rupture in his bladder or urethra, possibly from a bladder stone that didn’t show up on xrays last week (I got him into the vet last week because it looked like he was peeing slowly) - and his kidneys couldn’t take it. ER Doc this AM advised he had a poor prognosis of recovery and we were looking at $15k in surgeries to even try. Poor baby wasn’t even 2 years old. Happily chase those bunnies wherever you are, Teddy.
