A Protege 5 from a fellow goon. That he hopefully still has and hasn't gotten tired of waiting for me.

Spent my holiday playing Doom 4. Still fun as poo poo. I love good single player campaigns. I'm trying to get some of the harder weapon masteries. I sort of rage quit just now because there's a level where you fight two waves of really tough demons and then just when you think it's over, 2 barons of hell come at you in a confined space. I decided to try and get headshots on them with the gauss cannon precision bolt upgrade and died, only to find that's not the checkpoint, and I have to fight the entire battle a 4th time. Oh well, dinner and then back at it.

Son of a bitch. Just walked outside to get stuff out of the car. One flat as gently caress tire. Spare is also flat as gently caress. Just tried walking to 7-11 (almost half a mile each way) with the spare... their air machine is broken, and that's the only air machine within a mile.  New property management company tows with zero warning (despite the lease spelling out when they can tow, and them having to give 72 hours written notice per the lease, and the state requiring 5 days notice). Moved the car up against a curb on 2 sides (front and left side) with the wheels cranked hard, so if they try to tow it, they're tearing the front subframe off. Per the lease, they're supposed to give 72 hours notice prior to towing, and I should be able to get it towed to Discount Tire around noon.

I'll probably have the men in white coats at my door shortly. ilkhan posted:Drive done GF and I have a road trip planned for my birthday. It's about 700 miles each way (New Orleans). She REALLY wants to take her car. The basest of base models (only option is a/c). No cruise. My car, yeah, it's a bit more beat up, has twice as many miles, and it's a basketcase, but at least it has cruise (I don't even care about it being adaptive, just being able to actually use cruise control would be nice). I'm going to be the one driving. The throttle on her car is touchy as poo poo. The throttle on mine is more of a "I'll get around to it when I get around to it". Both are 4 cylinders. Hers has a really light flywheel on a 1.6, mine has a flywheel that's more at home on a large V6, except it's on a 2.2 (both manual). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Jul 5, 2018 |

It’s SO worth investing in a small 12v compressor. I had a jam exactly like yours that spurred me to pick one up. I haven’t needed it yet but I’ve got some friends out of pickles that would have otherwise got expensive.

What has two thumbs and finally fixed his AC so he’s not dying in the central Florida summer? This guy. All it took was a new liquid line, dryer, condenser, and replacing every o-ring I touched.

FUNNY STORY THERE  So I have one of those! And... it's locked up tight. It gets hot and pops the power socket fuse. It doesn't do anything else except make burning smells. Seminal Flu posted:Yup, and instead of a $$$ tow, I'd put the donut on and drive a mile on a flat donut. Front tire, on a FWD car. That said, I'd be up for that, but I have the most basic AAA plan. I think it offers 4 miles of towing, which should be enough to get me to the nearest Discount Tire. Annoying as gently caress, and I'd rather not destroy a donut that's otherwise in decent shape.

Also was dumb enough to get a 10.5k mi/yr lease and with a month to go in the first year I'm up to 14,XXX mi. I really need a second vehicle. To be fair though, at the time I had a 5 mi commute... Life does throw curve balls at you.

Minnesota Mixup posted:When I used to have spectrum/time warner I just bought my own modem/router as they charge something like $9-10 a month for it so after a year or so it pays for itself. They don't charge for the modem anymore. Now they charge $5 or $10 for WiFi, and bundle routing in with that, which is bullshit. CommieGIR posted:Asus Routers support OpenVPN built in, and its simple to configure So, if I set up VPN on the router, all devices on the home side of the router are going through the VPN, right? I like this plan, given the current state of Net Neutrality (good God I want to punch Ajit Pai in his oh-so-smug face), and the FTC giving the go-ahead for massive media delivery companies to own giant media content providers.

The drones are a pain, as are the heavies. Then a Super Soldier pops out of one of the trucks blocking the way. THEN, after a pause, a giant mechanical dog crashes through the trucks. *THEN* another wave of soldiers piles out of the wings. The save point is after that. Was a bit frustrating. And there's still another big battle and a boss fight before the end of the level, according to the guide. Stopped for the night before that.

Related to that: gently caress trying to inflate a bicycle tyre to 50psi using one of these:  Spent ages, knackered by wrist and still didn't get the drat thing blownup fully Take it down to the car, plug in the compressor and each tyre was rock solid in about 20seconds.

At the advice of an electrician friend I got one that clips directly to the battery and it's been pretty good so far. I had a cigarette lighter one a few years prior and it was hot garbage. All cars have an inflator and a two-foot tire iron with the appropriate socket attached. Few things suck more than trying to put on your spare and not being able to get a seized lug nut off. (Doing that and then discovering your spare is flat is one of those things that sucks more.) Everyone should also carry a window-smashing/belt-cutting multitool too. I mean, either you're going to run into a serious accident someday or you're going to run into a numrod who just needs to be dragged out of his car and beaten. I had some LED fake road flares in the back of the Forester. I used them a few weeks back when someone spun on our road. One of the cars driving by stopped after I laid them down ... and then crunch, crunch, crunch, drove over them like a loving idiot. I should buy some real ones.

I've got a viair, the 55P I think, in the trunk of my car along with a super long 12v heavy duty extension cable AKA jumper cables. Instead of road flares I have a 3-pack of those pop up triangles, and I've also stuffed in there a small floor jack and the appropriate socket on a breaker bar.
