Ether Frenzy posted:Have you test driven one yet? Because you should go test drive one at the dealer. Then you can quit worrying about the ~$1500-2000 in price variance Good thoughts and let's face it I've been watching classifieds, autotrader, m3post and others for a year or more at this point. There was one back east on autotrader that went sub $30k and had documentation of oil changed and air filter change at the dealer every 5k since new and documentation and photos of a rod bearing replacement. I should have got it. Perhaps the bigger motivation needs to be to get my E36 cleaned up and sold so I can have more cash. Ozmiander posted:I think the best guns are CZ75s and FN FALs.

paintchat: I also find some paints to be much more forgiving than others. Stuff like DupliColor's regular ordinary enamel and some Powerfister paint seems to just always look good and cure nicely as long as you keep the correct end of the can pointed vaguely at your work piece, but there's a bunch of other stuff (especially a few of the various tremclad/rustoleum formulas) that's ridiculously finicky. But then, my idea of prep is 'spray the piece down with whatever solvent is nearest, blow some air at it, let it finish drying while I shake the can and start spraying' so I'm sure good results are possible with the products that I find difficult. Spending my afternoon playing with the Oculus DK2 I got for free a couple weeks ago. Dear gently caress their software is a long way off, a device driver should not require this much effort and babysitting to work in TYOOL 2016. I get it's all still beta and they're breaking a lot of ground with this stuff but I'm at a 5:1 ratio of setup time to use time, and have installed Windows 3 times at this point. Worth it though, I finally got Project CARS running and it's quite the fuckin' thing. e:

A lot of times I'll cycle back around to a thing, though. The rise of the internet did not help.

SCA Enthusiast posted:I would like to use this opportunity to say that after 6months of unemployment, I have been offered a job! Things are looking up and let's all work together to make July the best month of 2016 so far! Congrats! I got a new job starting in August, but I signed the paperwork in June, so poo poo lets celebrate in July. 25% pay increase over my old job, and some decent benefits once they kick in. So loving stoked. Can likely get the truck paid off in a year. Car in a year after that. Roof and windows done, then I'm buying an old jeep/taco/something to beat on the trails. So, its a long ways away, but fuckit, I'm going to start planning. Need to have a long-term prize.

Funny story time: Had a man come in tonight needing....something. Spoke very little English. "I need tire," he says. "Sorry, we don't sell tires here." "No, no... I need tire." "We don't sell tires, bud." He grabs a can of tire shine and points very specifically to the tire part, "I need this. Is 14." "We don't sell tires, man. Do you need a wrench?" I made a wrenching motion. "No, no..." then he motioned for me to follow him outside. He gets on the phone and calls his buddy in the lot next to him. The whole time I'm trying to figure out what he needs. Doesn't need a plug kit, lug nuts, nor a wrench (I asked again). None of that. His buddy answers the phone, and the guy points. His buddy holds up a loving tire and he goes, "I need that." "We don't sell tires, sir." "Oh okay. You think that NTB sells them?" "Yes, sir they do."

I went out camping in the Sierras a few weeks ago with a buddy... we noticed a shitload of directional signs printed on obnoxious neon paper and duct-taped to every other tree the whole way in once we got on the dirt road. It's a simple road with no real branches to speak of, so it was way overkill. There was an obvious big group campsite we passed, so that explained it. I went back to the same place last weekend with my girlfriend for a couple of nights, and lo and behold there were still a bunch of signs stuck up the whole way in, faded and sagging. They took down most but I pulled down three and I'm sure there were more. I googled the group initials printed on the signs+area+date and found their planning/logistics thread on a forum. I registered and posted a drunken rant about leaving litter everywhere, learning to read a simple topo map and how next time I was going to redirect the signs down a dead-end 4x4 road. They are so mad  THAT PAPER IS BIODEGRADABLE

Its probably a good thing the dealership I bought my wagon from is a good hour and a half drive away. I found some poo poo tonight that makes me want to murder a bitch. Some half inbred fuckwaffle thought the proper way to remove the bose amp and sub from my car would be to take a loving bolt cutter to the amp wiring harness and then just leave it to short out on the floor of the car. I'm leaning towards it not being the dealership officially doing it since I assume they would have the decency to at least tape the son of a bitch off, but who knows. Regardless, I still want blood.

 I mean really, what kind of gently caress-knuckled idiot does that poo poo, sits back and pats himself on a job well loving done? Seriously, useless halfwit fucksticks like that shouldn't even be allowed to walk and talk at the same time without adult loving supervision. I hope they piss on an electric fence, the worthless fucknozzles.

They claim it had been sent to another dealership in their network with the radio functioning properly, but they brought it back 3 days later because I was driving down to look at it and the radio had stopped functioning in that time. I figured someone had blown a fuse/relay (it had, by shorting out on the floor of the car) or had disconnected the wiring harness from the amp ( ) by accident while poorly detailing it and they didn't have time to fix it/inspect it in the 2 hours before I got there. Regardless, there is no warranty on it and I'm still way ahead compared to the list of poo poo my truck needed to be anywhere close to whole again. I may only have 3 functioning brain cells at any given time, two of which are usually busy jerking each other off, but god drat it, this car needs me. It needs someone to love it, protect it and care for it. That person is going to be me. Its my poor abused rescue beater and I'm going to smother it with love, affection and any fun performance parts I can afford. gently caress you world, bring it on.

Catte has finally been re-acquired from parents. Mom was very unhappy to see him go and was crying her eyes out.  The understanding was he'd be staying with them for a week or two at most after I moved out though. It's been a little over 2 weeks.Catte exploring kitchen:  A few minutes later, I heard a very upset catte. Found him here, completely stuck:

So a guy pulled up next to me when I got home. And asked if I needed any  .Because I totally want to buy weed from some random dude who pulled up next to me in a parking lot. That's not asking to be robbed (or maybe arrested) at all, no sir.
