I've always gone with Thompson's Water Seal or similar.

Spent half an hour this morning chasing a smell. Discovered that Ford, in their wisdom, did not put a carbon air filter on my cop box so I had tree bits composting into the blower fan.

Oh and work which has been fantastic still needs me to present to a room of executives for a multi billion dollar corporation next Wednesday, so I guess I’m buying a new suit tomorrow maybe? As everything I own reeks of fire musk. It’s so bad I have to try to not retch when I open the front door to the house.

Yeah, that sticks with you. My Dad's place burned when I was in high school, and I still remember that smell today.

It’s not billionaires buying 100k broncos, it’s 60 year olds who decided their lazy millennial kids don’t need to be rewarded for their laziness with an inheritance.

Yup.

What should be scaring anyone with a sense of economics is how many Boomers there are trying to live like billionares on a five digit income, and blithely expecting to be able to keep doing it in retirement despite their only real asset being real estate.

We couldn't fully remove the inner door card without pulling the door latch assembly and I wasn't down to do experimental surgery on a random person's car in a parking lot with a bare minimum of tools, no research and a pack of thunderstorms bearing down on us. But gently caress it, we got it in and working. Thats what matters.

Boat chat: Boats are cool and good. But this is much like cars, and they need to be used regularly. When they sit for half the year, they're miserable piles of poo poo that make you hate everything. Honestly if its a small lake and people just want to go cruise around on the water, a john boat with a transom mount trolling motor is ideal. Its cheap, relatively low maintenance and easy to store.

Kayaks are also a good answer. The roto-molded ones are effectively indestructible and light enough to strap on top of most any vehicle for a run to the lake. No moving parts to break, plus they can get into water that even a john boat struggles with.

I don't have a driveway, and the Vic already won't fit in the garage. :v:

I expected as much. After learning how to properly diagnose (many people apparently get hit with bipolar/psychotic diagnoses) "burning out", (or as we call it directly translated: "exhaustion syndrome") it scares me almost as much as cancers do. It can really change you and ruin your life. If you are lucky you'll get back to a 90%+ level, but I've had patients that have been so badly affected that they can't even go into a grocery shop because their frontal lobes can't handle all the noise and impressions. Their executive function are hosed and there is little to no hope that they will recover to any significant level.

I should introduce you to my life.

10 years on overnight shifts plus the last few 24/7 on call as well is fun.

I need a vacation, or a coma.

One large reason my mother died from stage IV lung cancer is because she hasn’t been feeling well for a long time and some dipshit of a doctor told her it was Lyme disease (which we did all have, but there’s no such thing as long term Lyne disease like he claimed)

Which lead to her associating every ache of hers with Lyme disease, and not going to a normal doctor until she got a blood clot from the rumour and almost died

Then she died 10 months later from several blood clots instead

Similar with my Dad.

He assumed his pain was just bad acid reflux for years, then the doc treated that for months until they finally did a scope and whoops, big o'l esophageal tumor that killed him in 90 days.

Was the 40lb drop intentional? Getting sober is tough; I've been trying to banish the cigarette monkey for years on and off and it's rough. I think I just need a new job, I only get started smoking when I have to drive a lot.

It was. I need to cut 40 more.

If Cat Interceptor says so then thats that settled. Would the harbor freight cheapys work or should i actually lay down some cash

You get one set of ears. Spend a buck.

Most foamie plugs are around NRR30, which will only bring a 140db drag run down to 110db, which is potential permanent hearing damage on exposure with chances increasing from 0 - 15 minutes. You want to get it down to sub-85 db for safety.

I saw a lifted Silverado today with a 6" stack coming out of the bed and terminating below the bed line to hide it from the cops.

Of course it was smoke tuned so the entire passenger side of the back of the cab was black with soot.

I think you mean HBA SAS card.

unless the DL380 has a raid card that has a slot for an external shelf already

DL380 Gen5's should have a 256mb or 512mb p400 Smart Array Controller already installed depending on the model, but it's usually just cabled to the front drive bay in the ones I've worked on.

This one does have a P400, as for routing I'm not sure. The deal was pretty good though with a total of 3 PSUs and the sliding rack kit (which I have no way of using). I'm kinda thinking of parting it out and upgrading to a newer HJP Microserver or just ghetto build a server from an old gaming PC. I REALLY don't like the noise this DL380 makes.

Yeah, they're meant for datacenter applications where the noise doesn't matter because the room's cooling is going to be even louder.
