That's because Trump is insane, Hillary is a robot, and is a scam. Nobody cares.

Also, I tried listening to the Grateful Dead for the first time today, while cutting keys and cleaning the house. Figured it was my duty as a bus owner.

To be fair I've never had a problem flushing/bleeding brakes myself with a mighty vac, but the the loving Protege MC serves double duty to the brakes and clutch and the reservoir is separated in half, so half the amount of a normal reservoir goes pretty loving quick and before you know it you're sucking air and yelling loving oval office LICKER loud enough for the entire block to hear.

Yes this isn't the big fancy compressed air powered one that can probably bleed eight cars a minute or some poo poo, but it does a perfectly good job with just a few squeezes of the vac pump

E: Even one of the vacuum powered ones is like $75

Yeah, he was in school though when I was trying to get it done. Did it the first time and was pissed, then when I finally got all the air out (and there was a lot of air) I was on the last caliper and heard a giant sucking sound from the master and was like FUUUUUUUUUUCK. On the bright side the lines are loving flushed well I guess :v:


Invest in a Mighty Vac.

If it's only 40 bucks, then that's totally worth it to me.

Actually I doubt Trump is that dumb. He's a salesman and he is selling to the Republicans what they want to hear and what the party has become. If by some fluke he wins the nomination and somehow gains the Presidency (LOL), he'll be as surprised as the rest of us and promptly swing left or gently caress a hooker.

Cruz is poo poo scary because he is a True Believer.

Anyway, by the looks of it Rubio will be third tonight and the Repub establishment will line up behind him - I'd be surprised if Rubio doesn't win the nom from here. Still a piece of poo poo but not an outright loving crazy one.

What I am most terrified of from this forthcoming election is if Cruz or Trump gets the nom and then loses, the ensuing shitstorm where they refuse to accept the results from the polls will be just as bad as if either wins.

looks like it might have just been 'hacked' because the root account was enabled and had a default password and someone found my SSH port.

I am a linux beginner (I pretty much solely work with Windows stuff) and had assumed that the root account was disabled for any sort of interactive logon (raspbian makes you use a 'pi' account) - but when I restored my backup from around Christmas I could see a previous logon by root from a few days earlier on a remote IP - and could ssh to it myself as root and it has a generic default password.

I am now reinstalling it and shall take note of the lessons I have learnt this time and shall move any NAT rules onto more random ports, and enable SSH key based auth (and sort out the root account!).

Amusingly, I spend far too much time at work hacking windows devices (often using default passwords which are not strong in education systems!) and one of my jobs for the next few weeks is to finish writing a script that attempts to brute force passwords on all the windows servers, various common windows services and switches inside the corporate network of one of my clients (with permission!)

That sounds like a lot of fun. I would love to be able to get a job like that.

If you're interested in learning more about Linux hacking, you can probably use Kali Linux. It's a Linux distro dedicated to pen testing. Might be useful to you.

Saw Dead and Co last year. With John Mayer playing lead I was skeptical, but holy poo poo what a show. I'm sure my nosebleed seats at the top of the dome had something to do with it. By the end of the first set the stage was looking pretty hazy.



After the show we hit a diner, I had two double cheeseburgers, a fry, and some pie. Good show.

Based on how long it took for him to accelerate and park again, I think it was a manual and he probably just learned how to drive stick.

Edit: can you even take out the key of the car isn't in park?
