fjelltorsk posted:I got my hands on two lightly tuned b230fk Volvo engines with transmissions. Now I only need a 850 estate to put them in. Anyone have tips on how to do the fly by wire stuff I will need? The B230F engine won't work in an 850, at least, not without some serious fabrication anyway. The 850 is FWD and uses the B5234 engine series. The B230 will work great in any 240, 740, or 940 though! Unless the entire point of this is to make some ridiculous twin engine, twin transmission, twin driveshaft insanity wagon, in which case go right ahead.

NitroSpazzz posted:I bought an electronic ignition (to replace points) three years ago. I bought shocks and springs for the E21 project in August...2013. I bought sway bars on Black Friday 2013. I bought a complete parts car solely for the 5 speed transmission sometime summer 2013. I bought wheel spacers last spring and have NO idea where the hell they disappeared to. Then to screw things up I bought all new shocks/springs/struts/etc this Black Friday. I finally got the car out of the corner and started on it last week. Yeah, I bought a nice set of drop springs for my Celica back in 2010, they are still in their original packaging, same as the shocks I bought at the same time, as well as brake calipers and other poo poo. I've got a whole box of stuff for my 855T that I bought two years ago before I discovered how bad the engine was fried. Hell, I even have a full set of tie-rods and ball-joints for the 245 that are at least a year old at this point. At this point my collection of car parts is probably worth more than the cars

CornHolio posted:Speaking of sleeping disorders, does anybody else occasionally have sleep paralysis? I had that happen to me once or twice when I was younger, but I'm pretty sure it was caused by taking my ADD medication and then trying to sleep. Still not a fun experience at all.

Fart Pipe posted:I dont get paralysis but I get brain explosions. Right as Im about to fall asleep Ill get a huge noise/light explosion in my head and it wakes me right up. Goes quite nicely with my horrible insomnia. Fuckin' Exploding Head Syndrome. Another thing I get very rarely. First time it happened I thought someone had fired a shotgun next to my head. Usually only happens if I'm super stressed out. Insomnia never goes away though, yeah.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother, Kozmonaut  Been a real lovely year for AI family members, drat. So I know this is mostly my fault for going to a chain restaurant, but I just had the nastiest pasta in my life. I was trying to eat healthier so I ordered a chicken and broccoli pasta at Ruby Tuesday's. poo poo came out so loving greasy it was literally swimming, and I think one bite had 2 days worth of sodium content. How the gently caress do you make chicken, broccoli, and pasta with a light cheese sauce greasier than a pan full of bacon? Jesus. There was more goddamn grease than sauce!

Please don't do anything rash or hurt yourself, find someone to talk to or just vent at us, anything. It's been said but AI tries to look after each other and we've already lost a good poster this year. I think about suicide on almost a weekly basis (seriously) but I keep looking forward to tomorrow, cuz you just never know what could happen next. Depression isn't fun to deal with but you aren't alone man.

LloydDobler posted:Absolutely. I still have a couple letters I wrote to my ex wife while we were getting divorced, at the time I was filled with immense rage and despair but now I can read them and feel almost nothing at all. The best side effect was that by saying it to myself it kept me from stirring poo poo up with her that would only have led to more financial problems for me, in terms of antagonizing her vs being amicable. Yup, I've got several pages of thoughts and poo poo I typed up over a year long period while getting over an ex. poo poo helps immensely to just get it out of your head.

Tusen Takk posted:These are all fantastic: These were loving great, thanks. When my best friend and I moved into the lovely single-wide trailer that we rented in college, the previous tenants had left only one thing: A partially eaten tub of Vegemite in the fridge. The first night there we were bored as hell and tired from moving all day, and dared each-other to try a small bite. It was honestly the most vile thing I have ever tasted in my life, and I've accidentally bitten down on a stink bug before. How in the hell do you guys eat that stuff? We left it in the fridge for the entire time we lived there and when we moved out it was the only thing left in the fridge...waiting.

OFFICER 13 INCH posted:My 21 year old cat back home, Joey, was put down today. He didn't go without a fight. He's been in ailing health for almost 5 years, and I'm pretty sure was keeping himself alive out of spite and anger for all living things. He was hit by a car in front of our house, broke his back, and dragged himself home with his front legs. My parents elected to have him put down because of the age and extent of his injuries. A fantastic eulogy for what was clearly an amazing rear end in a top hat of a catte. Rest in peace, good cat.

People have been telling me to get off my rear end and start selling it for some time now. I know y'all motherfuckers have good taste and enjoy pain, so it'd be a good way to test the waters I suppose. Excellent, I can't wait to try it out! cursedshitbox posted:

At this point the only way I'll be getting another girlfriend is if she somehow wanders out of the woods into my yard/garage while I'm wrenching on something and decides to stick around. I'm putting no effort into it anymore, don't really feel like exposing my many neuroses and flaws upon another person anyways.

Oh yeah, as if the great day spent hanging out with goons wasn't enough, when I got home a small package was waiting for me in the mailbox, from someone whose name I did not know. Thinking it was my AISS gift, I swiftly tore into it to find something just as good: The Royal Nonesuch's hot sauce! It is incredibly good, with a really strong bite that is matched by its flavor. Seriously, this is really great sauce, it's going to be hard to ration it out. Strongly recommend you start producing and selling this, it's got the chops. e; Congrats on the kid, BraveUlysses!

Four hours of vacation time that I need to use or lose before the end of the year, looks like today is going to be a halfer. And I'll still have 40 hours that will roll over to next year, giving me two whole weeks of vacation  All this time off I get is great and everything but honestly I'd really prefer a nice pay increase instead. Days off are only good to me if I can afford car parts and tools. Terrible Robot fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Dec 19, 2014 |

rndmnmbr posted:Complete rear end of a night. I got home, went to take a nice, hot, relaxing shower, and my tub faucet informed me that it was going to be one of those days by falling off the fixture and bringing six inches of corroded copper pipe with it. Got a cork and a large-ish hose clamp handy? You (maybe) can still take that hot shower today  That's how I took a shower for 3 weeks in college after the lovely plastic faucet/pipe in the single-wide I was renting got broken the gently caress off (a story for some other time).
