August is here and we've not had a summer yet. Disappointing.

Rhyno posted:The best books are the ones they turn into movies so I don't have to do any of that gay reading poo poo. Unironically agree. Elmnt80 posted:I have the next 3 days off. I also got new speakers in along with an amp wiring kit. So excited. And I had a conversation that was very good for my future. Around the begining of june, my district manager came to me and asked how I'd like to have the open assisstant manager position at my store. I said I was interested, but would need to talk to our old assisstant who is still at our store after willingly taking a demotion during an incident with our previous commercial sales guy and our store manager who was on vacation. Around the begining of july, everything had calmed down and I had a chance to talk to my store manager and she liked the idea for a number of reasons. However she wanted to talk to the previous asst manager to make sure there would be no hard feelings if I was promoted. Well, a week ago while working the slow sunday shift, the previous asst brought up that her old position was open and she thought I would be able to get the position if I asked for it. I admitted that our dm had already asked me about it and I had spoken to the store manager about the position being open, but had wanted to talk to her myself before I would actually consider accepting the position. Our previous asst said I had her full support and she even gave me a hug. In a little over a year I've gone from driving to possibly taking asst manager in an area with a bunch of stores opening for oreillys. The last 7 months or so in particular have been damned good to me and I've been a lucky son of a bitch with how things have played out. I hope the rest of this year keeps on being awesome and all of you have an awesome rest of 2016. Yooooooo. Awesome.

Today I learned that a space disco version of the Star Wars music exists. I now have the vinyl on order as even just that album art is wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ3kV3Icm28 Anyway I learned that exists because of this live performance by Moullinex a while back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLK42eB71xo I don't even like Star Wars.

The 86 is a fairly naff looking car. I'm yet to drive one though, might roll up to the dealer in my Supra and act like I'm interested. How much (or little) torque do they have?

Somewhat Heroic posted:Not fast enough. I think the price point just ended up higher than it should have been. I remember when frsbrz Fever hit there was a YouTube series called BRZ or That? They basically explored similar performing cars and different price points, or similar price point cars and performance differences. Japan got a stripper model, plain cheapo bumpers, thin steelies etc, just enough to roll it out of the factory as they knew people would mod them. I wonder what sort of money they went for. http://o.aolcdn.com/dims-shared/dim...ta-gt-86-rc.jpg

I've been asked to test a piece of software in a particular build at work. I requested a test build because y'know, then I'd be testing the actual build. I can't have that though, I'm being made to gently caress around with ADM accounts and partially locked down admin accounts because our computer dorks are far too precious about poo poo and/or too lazy to bother doing it properly.

Rhyno posted:I was down to 185 about 18 months back. I got lazy and started drinking beer and eating fast food again. I've got my diet under control again, now I need to do a little work to get back to where I was. Currently 205. How short are you that 205 is chubby? I'm 6'1" and 190 and I still look skinny.

The Locator posted:Damnit... I got home from work and fired up the computer, got to the first video posted in an AI thread and ... no audio. After poking around for a while, the Denon A/V receiver that drives my speakers from my computer has apparently died. Switched to tuner and nada, so it's not the optical input, it's the output, and for both A & B speaker sets. Crapola. Is there a multizone output? If so, have you or anyone managed to mute them? I ask because I had the same issue and it turns out someone pressed buttons which killed the outputs to zone A. It was a button on the receiver too, there wasn't an equivalent one on the remote.

Rhyno posted:The diet part has been hard but I'd already cut out fast food and pop, beer wasn't hard to ditch. I'm going through about 10 bottles of water a day (bless you Costco) and have been trying very hard to eat well. Got the elliptical put back together tonight and of course I was dying at 10 minutes in. And just a week ago I could rock 40+ without any issues. Fitness levels seem to drop off pretty rapidly if you stop exercising, this is why most people struggle to do it when they can only do it in fits and starts. They'll hit the gym one week with great intentions, struggle and then not go for a week or so. So the next time they go again they're right back where they started in terms of how it feels. Once you start, don't stop... I feel absolutely terrible after a week off my bike, two weeks I might as well just be starting over again as it feels that bad. Also glad I wasn't the only one to appreciate Donnie Yen in that trailer, hopefully he gets some screen time.

^^ When compared to an awful lot of films released in the past few years, TFA was a loving masterpiece. When compared to a large chunk of films in its own franchise it's still superb.

I just ordered a pizza online. It arrived with no cheese on top. Seems their site hosed up and they were too dense to realise that a pizza without cheese is probably not a normal request.

Apart from laughing my arse off at the fact that by the time she gets back she's going to basically have a 15 month long winter, the fact she's going to behalf a world away isn't doing my depression any favours.  ??

Tomarse posted:I lived in leeds for 3 years while I went to uni. I also really like the place. Its a decent city with lots to do. True but this just means when the sun comes out it's even better. Also some cracking mountainbiking on your doorstep up there and even more fantastic stuff not too far away. I loved that heading about 30 minutes North I could be well into the countryside in pretty surroundings with actual hills and stuff, the Midlands is devoid of such things. :'( fridge corn posted:You have a shite football club with shite fans Not sure what this 'you' business is about, fella.

At least I use a separate phone for work, so I can just turn it off outside of work. I brought it in with me to dinner so I could do my shift bid, I was a bit surprised when it rang.

I have much love for Screw-tite wood screws, they're 'expensive' compared to the usual but they're superb and the fact they're not threaded all the way to the top means that if you're using them to attach planks or similar then they pull in much harder that regular screws. Also they're bronze and look cool.
