I was super excited about checking out the new Mazda3s today until I realized that unless you shell out for the top two packages you get a center mounted analog speedo and a tiny lovely digital tach. I realize how nitpicky that is but gently caress if I've not completely lost interest.  Is the new Mazda2 not coming to the US?

Good question. You can at least get it as a Toyota. Or it probably is a Scion. I forgot what it's called.

It's a strange experience, the first time you're looking at your boss, and he is just absolutely not getting a report you've created, for him, to understand "that insane wizardry" you've created (see: somewhat simple and horribly coded automated report in Excel using VBA lmao). Then he tells you that he and a co-worker talked about it for half an hour and "pretty much have it figured out". The report. Dude just walked into my office and had me explain my report to him. The thing that I created to dumb down and fully explain the thing I made for him. I understand why engineers can become very antisocial.

This is the perk of living in the midwest, everybody else is too smart to live here which makes nice houses fairly cheap. A year and a half ago, for $150k I got a 2,200 square foot house in an upscale neighborhood complete with a finished basement, a pool, a massive fenced-in backyard (with a flagpole at the back, wtf), sprinkler system, sunroom, 3bd-2.5 bath. It needs some updating (built in '81 and the double-pane windows are original) but it'd be a cool couple mil elsewhere.

some texas redneck posted:Where the gently caress do you live? Try looking for housing near Boston. We live in Watertown MA now (up the road from where the Marathon bomber was shot!  ) and what we pay in rent for a 2br 1b apartment would get you a $350k house just about anywhere else. If you want a 1br condo in the area, come with 300. If you want a detached house, come with 600. If you want a nice detached house, show up with a mil. No shortage of buyers at those prices either, so don't expect to negotiate down much.

Mother loving physical therapy. Is it too late to go back home and nap for the rest of the day? e. My physical therapist is awesome -- I had trouble making appointments, so she's been sneaking me in during cancellations. Unfortunately, that means PT at 8 AM sometimes. I'm walking without a cane now, though, so I guess it's worth it? Safety Dance fucked around with this message at 16:13 on May 12, 2015 |

Have you actually driven it? I've put a few miles on my sister-in-law's 2014 Mazda3 and the digital tach really isn't that much of an issue.  Besides, you should be able to shift without watching the tach.

In the ongoing saga of the roomie drama, he's taking back Cheaty McDickTick. She cried rape and he believed it enough to give her another shot  Sigh. Whatever. His life, his choices. Told him I don't want her around, she's not welcome, and that I don't want to see her, speak to her, or even acknowledge her presence. He wants to give her another chance, that's his decision. I'll be here if he needs anything but he's on his own when it comes to that gently caress.

The thing that bugs me more than anything is that this exact thing has happened to him before. He even said she gives him the same vibe as one of his other cheating whore exes. Like, he's been in this same loving situation and knows how that turned out He even cited one of my previous relationships and was like "Look at you and (girl), you took her back." To which I replied "Yeah, and she hosed me over again and I spent like a good year of my life in pure misery and now I don't even speak to her. Look how that turned out!" I dunno man. He has to make his own mistakes and he's not gonna listen to me or anyone else. I'll be here for him if and when he needs, but I made my feelings on her and this situation perfectly clear and wished him good luck with it all. Dude's one of the few close friends I have left, I don't want to see him get hosed over again but I can't very well force him to not do this

Chevrolet got it right on the Sonic but wrong on the Spark.

It's not until they experience the consequences that they actually learn anything (and even then it can take a few times). In other news: Yard progress! The whole backyard has been graded and now it's time to remove all of the track marks, small divots, smooth everything out and bring all of the rocks and branches to the surface. They have specialized machines for this, but why would I spend money on renting one of those when I can just as easily lash 4 logs together and tow it behind a backhoe?  There is one issue with doing it this way, this will bring all of the rocks and twigs and poo poo to the surface but I have no way of gathering all of that poo poo up without getting out and picking it up by hand. I've got some ideas bouncing around about how to pick that stuff up, but we'll see what happens. MustardFacial fucked around with this message at 20:05 on May 12, 2015 |

Whoops, can't help you then - the WRL race on the weekend of the 30th is at Texas World Speedway near College Station, not Texas Motor Speedway outside of Fort Worth. About 200 miles difference, there. TMS is the NASCAR and Indycar track, and that's the one I'm near.

My landrover has somehow passed its MOT test today first time with only one advisory:  I thought that it was actually leaking less now than it ever has before. I think he may have just put that on to make up for not having anything else to pick on (I usually get a list)

Yeah, doesn't surprise me! This tester is sound and fails me for things that I deserve to fail for. He used to be a lot stricter on brake adjustment imbalance and handbrake efficiency but mellowed after I paid him one year to fix the brake adjustment after he failed it and he found it a PITA too (and he has a garage, a set of brake rollers and a tapley meter vs my gravel car park covered in skid marks). I think his chassis poking arm is also getting weaker now. I noticed a likely looking scab on the centre x-member behind the gearbox at the weekend and haven't had a fail for it which has surprised me. I shall probably crawl under and poke it myself now..

You can get a cheap 1 bedroom condo here for 10% of that. Yes, 30k. I've seen them go for less, even. It'll be in the ghetto of the ghetto, but it'll be yours.

Though I wouldn't count Texas (at least DFW) as the midwest. But it does sit right at the tail end of tornado alley, so you're going to need a new roof or new fence now and then. We have the original double pane windows as well, and most of them need replacement (most have fogged to some extent). That'll be fun, especially with the alarm system and recessed contacts for it (most of which have had to be replaced as well, at least the builders left enough slack to pull the old contacts out and attach new ones). I'm pretty surprised to hear that a house from 81 has double paned windows, single pane was the norm back then, wasn't it? I've lived in places built in the late 80s/early 90s with single pane.. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 23:01 on May 12, 2015 |

Honda got it right with their analog tach and digital speed readout. Yeah, it's not ideal, but it does respond quickly. That said I couldn't stand the Civic's dash for more than the week I had one as a rental; the split arrangement is just too wonky for me. They got the CR-V just fine though, analog across the board. And yeah, the Sonic's dashboard is a slick little setup. Shame the rest of the car probably isn't all that good.
