I would fall asleep in the server room and just plain under the desk - lst week I had to take Friday as Thursday I was a zombie. As much as I trust science..... this really threw some bloody doubts about doctors, a trust I usually like having. I'll take hayfever over loving whatever the hell I was on. Hayfever drugs also wipe me out. I choose to take hayfever over feeling like a zombie.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning to put two pork butts on the smoker. They are now 4 1/2 hours into the cook and I cannot wait until I get home before I get to dig in to some delicious smoked meat. We have a couple of friends that have recently had babies we are taking dinner over to them. What better way to achieve that than by smoking 13 pounds of pork flesh?

Hey, you guys know that big six billion dollar USPS contract out there? Just found out my company is one of the six chosen to build prototypes. I've been asked personally if I want in on the engineering...

Ended up picking up a 2015 Chevy SS in Some Like it Hot Red Thursday night, and took a road trip up to east Texas to see my brother. Lots of twisty back roads and was lots of fun. Kiddo got to catch some fish in a little tournament as well.

Sure thing, those photos are a little washed with the time of day. In person it is way more metallic orange. The car came with some great colors but they are rare as hell. That one is the third most popular for that year but was still only 313 cars.

Well the guy yesterday was right. I am buying a car from him. Specifically the polo I went to see assuming they fix the mirror and get the emissions light off. Forgot to raise the temperature needle being busted so I guess I'll be googling how to fix that.

Mine was about 30 seconds and then an incredible rash for a week. Do you have any idea how loving difficult it is for a 16 year old boy to not only not gently caress with his junk, but resist ANY urge for it to move otherwise blinding pain is the result? Fuuuuuuck nair.

So far 3/4ths of respondents to ExplodingSims' story of workplace danger in this thread have self-confessed to nairing their balls (3/5ths with my reply) even though it clearly says Don't, Ever and secondly what the hell twink porn scene were you guys into at 16 that required smooth balls.

Less the balls and more the shaft. Shaving the balls is easy IMHO you just stretch them out all Pom Poko-style and bob's yer uncle. Also you're a 16 year old kid that has money because you work and you're curious because shaving down there sucks, and also you live in a podunk town with barely any internet and no friends.

Just finishing our Hawaiian holiday. Had a 2016 Malibu this week instead of a Chrysler 200 like we did in Kona. Christ driving to Malibu just further showed how lovely a 200 is. The Malibu isn't perfect but it is 100x better than the dodge. Also loco Moco is better than I expected.

The Malibu isn't perfect but it is 100x better than the dodge. I had a loaner 2010 Malibu when my car was in the shop for warranty work. It was the base LS model, but was still a decent car. Impressive mileage for its size, and had a decent amount of power for a 2.4. It wasn't gonna win any handling prizes or interior design awards, but for a car approaching land barge size, it was a solid "good enough". I was kinda surprised to find out that the LS still got the 4 speed auto, while all other trims got a 6 speed auto, for the 2010 model, yet it still had 4 wheel disc and XM radio. Having had a 200 rental, I would take the Malibu over the 200 any day. 200's interior is a little nicer when it's not falling apart (compared to a 2010 Malibu anyway), Malibu was better at not falling apart and getting out of its own way. I know the 2016 Malibu is a hell of an improvement over the 2010.

Gather round ye faithful and hear my tale of failures solved by "it don't need to be pretty" and "ah, that's good enough" So for reasons I won't bother getting into here, I needed a non-magnetic #2 Phillips screwdriver. I emphasize the "non-magnetic" part, as that it the reason for this story in the first place. Unable to use any of my previous shop tools for the reasons of: too dirty, too beat to hell, not a #2 Phillips. After scouring every local electronics shop, and every local hardware store I came to the realization that nobody sells non-magnetic tools anymore because it's 2016, and why the hell would you? As a last ditch effort, I found myself standing in line at the local Princess Auto holding a brand new, somewhat trusty Power Fist branded phillips along with a tool magnetizer/demagnetizer. Thinking I had accomplished my task I headed back to the car, ripping open the demagnetizer packaging on the way, and after following what little instructions there were I "pass tool throw center of rounded section". Great! Job Done! But just to be safe, I pulled out some spare screws from my pocket and touched them to the screwdriver. Three screws hung from the tip like mountain climbers hanging on to a cliff. Much to my shock and dismay, something I bought from Princess Auto didn't work. gently caress. Now what? As I head home, I thought about my options and remembered a lesson from a high school physics class. There are about 4 ways to make a permanent magnet, no longer a magnet: 1. Smash the fucker with a hammer 2. Wind some wire around it and hit it with a big dose of AC, gradually reducing the voltage to 0 3. Use an even bigger demagnetizer 4. Heat it to it's Curie point As I got home I headed straight for the shop, this screwdriver won't be magnetic for long. Being the completely disorganized and messy shop that it is, I was unable to find a normal hammer. What I did find was a 6lb sledge. Thinking "yeah, that'll do." I sandwiched the screwdriver tip between two blocks of wood and let'er rip. I beat the poo poo out of that thing for a good 5 or 6 mins, and then checked the magnetism. Still there. gently caress this screwdriver. So now my options were limited. Beating the gently caress out of it didn't work, I don't know the exact process and I doubt I had the equipment to do the "ramp it down with AC" thing, and looking around the shop I couldn't find the Shaded Pole motor I would need to make an even bigger demagnetizer. But one thing I did find was a blowtorch. This was my last ditch effort, I really didn't want to heat this thing to it's Curie Point partly because it's kind of a lot of effort but mostly because after doing so, the screwdriver is going to lose it's tempering. And while I'm not 100% certain on how to restore tempering to a tool, I've seen enough of that blacksmithing show on the Discovery Channel to know it has something to do with dunking it in oil while it's hot. So that's what I did. Speaking of that blacksmithing show, I vaguely recall someone saying they use old motor oil to temper their steel with because the steel pulls carbon out of the oil and turns it into carbon steel or something. Well here is something they don't tell you: Doing that makes a fuckload of smoke and fire. Do this outside. Also I'm not sure that carbon steel thing applies when the tool was previously chrome vanadium. So there is my story, it kinda ended abruptly at the end there because well...between the beginning and end I had a few scotches. I now have a non-magnetic, oil covered screwdriver that may or may not be carbon steel.

Yeah, heating up the metal past its curie point will make it non-magnetic. I would have done it in two steps, though. Heat and then a reduction to room temperature, giving you a glass-brittle screwdriver. Then a second heat, and a quench in either oil or water. The point at which you stop heating it, and how you quench it, determines the final hardness.
