Text from stepdad: "call me asap kon 11038 three times blood pressure 110/38 call asap" Me: holy gently caress He calls as I'm tearing out of my apartment complex. He said that's my mother's blood pressure, I'm asking why he hasn't called 911 and that I'm already on my way, hang up and call 911 you dumb gently caress Stepdad: "what does the flashing battery thing on the display of the BP machine mean?" Me: *hurls every loving insult known to man* They throw new batteries in it... and get a much more normal reading. loving christ on a stick, that shook me up.

Anyone work at or know someone who works at a Honda dealer? I'd like to get a radio code but the car it came out of a decade+ ago is now a toaster oven at Walmart.

I bought 2, just to see what happened. The deal was over within a few minutes. But I checked later and it was available to purchase again, so I said "what the hell" and ordered 9 more. I'll take some off your hands if you're interested - good balsamic is one of my most favoritist things ever

His twig and berries will be curbstomped to dust, then force fed to him, next time I see him for putting me through that.

I'm applying for a job at a company that makes some interesting threat analysis software that tries to predict terrorist activity, etc. One of the things they need help with is butching up the UI because a lot of their clients are ex-cops who want to feel like the star of 24 when they're using a computer. I started working on a couple ideas for them and realized I'm basically making the UI for Command & Conquer. Found the appropriate music to work to for self reinforcement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2MZzIhjlpY The soundtrack to that game was so goooooooood.

There's two swap packages available about the same 3.5 hours from me. One from a 2005 with 101k miles for ~$3k and one from a 2002 with 13k miles for $4k. Worth the extra for a super low miles package to toss in a race car? I may be able to get him to come down on price a bit and that's just an estimate for the 101k one but I may have to go help pull the high mileage one. Both run, have good compression/leakdown numbers and will include the same stuff.

SCA Enthusiast posted:I can't get over being the new mom in this situation. Just going about your day when suddenly it becomes apparent that not only are you pregnant, but you're giving birth RIGHT NOW. I was talking to my wife about that last night. She said the same thing about the babies moving around a lot -- "don't you remember the computer moving back and forth when I had it resting on my belly?" Yep, I remember it, seems awfully weird to have that inside you and not notice it.  Thought pattern as I'm pulling into my area: "Hey, that's a nice new SL. Man, those things have gotten low and wide. 'OSU 1' license plate? Oh yeah, that's two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin." He lives in the area an it's always cool to see him. Usually he's out walking on the path, but he's got nice rides, too.

Maksimus54 posted:I know I'm not some poster anyone knows, but I just had the biggest life changing 12 hours of my life and I have to share somewhere. My fiance just had a baby at home at 5:15 august 1st. We did not know she was pregnant. She delivered it herself. The house looks like a scene from the Walking Dead. I'm a dad and I have had no notice and holy poo poo guys we don't even have a name picked out jesus christ Well, congrats and try not to be too overwhelmed, hopefully you have a good support structure going for you. The same thing essentially happened to my cousin and his then girlfriend/now wife. I'd wager to bet your fiance has weird cycling issues, that time of the month though I imagine birthing a baby on a motorcycle would be entertaining, and is fairly normal for her to go months without a period?

Fun at the edge or driven in anger but fairly boring otherwise...a lot like a Miata IMO As a proud Miata owner I feel I have to step in and disagree.  The BRZ/FRS is probably a lot more comfortable and convenient  I think the BRZ/FRS makes a lot of sense for the Japanese market than the American market. There's really nowhere to go fast in a straight line over here so power is almost an afterthought now that manufacturers don't have to think about homologation. If you actually want to have some fun out here the only option is to go out to the sticks, find a twisty road and enjoy the lateral Gs.

Baby check in: She cries a lot. I think she might be cholic. I don't get any sleep. Car check in: I've been thinking about the RX-7 thing for a long time, I don't know what it is but I find the idea of a Japanese Hot Rod very appealing. Even though, under most circumstances I prefer tiny engines and good handling. But then again I have severe automotive ADD, so when I think of "my next DD" it always bounces between an LS swapped RX-7, somehow finding a way to import a Dolomite Sprint into Canada, a Datsun 280Z, some sort of Hakosuka replica, spend a decent amount of money on a good van to transport the kart around in and use as a DD or a Suzuki DL650. [edit] While it's all well and good to have hopes and dreams I doubt any of this will ever happen and I'll find some way to spend the money on more "sensible" things instead of on myself. I'll probably drive this shitbox Cobalt into the ground. MustardFacial fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Aug 3, 2016 |

Watch out for switching back and forth between formula brands, it upsets a lot if kids badly. Also check the dates on those tins, they don't last a long time.

Yeah, we already went through that with the liquid stuff. The only one she didn't like was Enfamil so we chucked the rest of that away. But she'll suck back Good Start and Similac like it's last call and she doesn't seem to care if we switch between them.

Cool, finding something they like is half the battle. We had to get a thickening agent on prescription because our lad was burping up most of his food, when that settled it was easy. Discussed a Forester with my wife, she likes the idea if it's like a slightly lifted v70 and she can have an auto, I'm okay with this.
