Setting up dual spring long travel coilovers is the worst. Turned a 1 hour job into 6 by trying to adjust spring preload rings while in the car. That's what I get for taking shortcuts.

Normally I pull the entire unit, disassemble the springs with that compressor in the background. Move the preload rings and crossover/dual rate stop, then reassemble and put the shock back in then measure ride height. I was trying to get it to sit a little lower for the next "race" event which will be smoother and a lot of tight turns. It was a little loose and wobbly which was great for high speed rough stuff but too unstable when drifting gravel roads. So now it's sitting with around 14" clearance underneath instead of 16.

He can't, he doesn't actually understand literally anything and thinks the 1st amendment is about private businesses and not the government's ability to limit free speech, and he's got no power over any of the media companies anyway so his dipshit fuckeroo nonsense today was only meant to distract normal people from the 110k dead American Covid victims.

Unfortunately for the Trump 2020 Re-Election Campaign - which is the only thing President MAGA has any thought about - is that this killer racist cop had to fun-murder a black guy over some kited check or whatever capital offense and that's upset the entire plan and hey wow surprise, 40m unemployed Americans are suddenly loving pissed off and have nothing to lose.

My wife was exposed to the gassing last night and wrote up a lengthy post about what she witnessed just trying to leave the downtown area (she was not there to protest) and she's received several threats of violence on FB because she's clearly lying. The official word is the PD only launched 2 cans of gas and the rest were smoke bombs but both of my friends on the force claim they were told to toss every can they had.

Whoever rented this place before my roommate did obviously had a bone to pick with the landlord (okay, the owner of the duplex does kinda suck). Was told not to run the ceiling fan in the bedroom because it shakes so bad. Fired it up, even on low it acts like it's going to slam the blades into the ceiling, it wobbles that bad.

Found 2 blade brackets twisted so the blades were pointing the wrong direction. Also found little pieces of the blades snipped off. Rearranged them a bit and have a fan that doesn't wobble much at all on low (still unusable on other speeds). Debating if I want to drop the money on new blades for it - neither of us like a high electric bill, so the AC is set a little on the warmer side (76F). Just having it on low is still a big help, and much quieter than the floor fan.

How do I tell my insurance to gently caress off with a rate increase right now? Especially since I don’t drive my car anywhere but the grocery store, my mother in laws, and race tracks in the northeast. The last two obviously don’t happen anymore. I’m putting like 12 miles a month on the thing.

Geico promised me a 15% reduction at renewal. Instead it went up $10/month. Then I let them know about the move.. and it went up another $2/month. :fuckoff:

I've put less than 5k on my car since I bought it in October. That's going to go up a little bit now than I'm 10 miles instead of 2 from work, but I really don't drive much outside of commuting to work. Which happens to be a grocery store, so 2 birds/1 stone. When I put in 10 miles each way, they bumped my annual mileage up to 15k. Nooooope, manually set it to 8k, which is very much inline with how much I drive.

It was more rhetorical, but yeah. I'm gonna have to order one from Amazon I guess, or see if Altex is letting people in. They're not too far, and it looks like they have a no-name normal size keyboard in stock.

Or go get a k-r4d one from Fry's.. if they actually have them in stock (website says they have a few cheaper "gamer" keyboards in stock).

I'll have to run by my storage unit after work tomorrow morning and see if I managed to leave mine there. I thought I grabbed it. I can type kinda decent on this one, but it's a bit loud for my liking (Logitech K360), and the key travel is nil. I prefer a full size 101-104 key keyboard, and I prefer quiet since my roommate and I have hilariously different schedules. I also prefer wired, though I'll be hooking up one of the HDMI outputs to my TV at some point, so a wireless keyboard would be handy for that.

Yeah, this is why the active duty contingent of the military is unarmed (with the exception of base police/security) when they're on American soil, it's fundamental to the credo and mission of the armed forces that they only be employed against foreign enemies of the State, and the fundamental idea goes back to the 3rd amendment.


Posse Comitatus Act posted:

Sec. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congres

Notably, this doesn't apply to the National Guard, it doesn't call out the Navy or Marine Corps, but DoD policy is that it applies to all branches.

Wouldn't expect the Orange gently caress to actually read the Constitution much less silly little laws like Posse comitatus.

Fake edit, my phone changed posse comitatus to " Pisse Coitatus" in that quote title, which, uh, would be something else.

In Cali (San Jose) a big group of protesters stopped traffic on the interstate and started attacking cars, kicking them and smashing windows, it's amazing that none of the drivers panicked and started running people over. I'm all for protesting, but take your anger out on the police/government not other citizens.
