My kids also had a blast. Sick. I got my Lexus back finally after 3 weeks at the shop to get the transmission replaced and we went ‘Froadin in the mountains this morning for a couple hours. It was pretty sweet.

I learned recently that a farm down the road from me was owned by someone who had slaves and was paid by the government when the slavery abolition act became a thing here. How mad is that? You bought humans and actually got your money back when we eventually decided that it was a bad thing... Anyway in related news, Bristol has pulled down the statue of a slave trader. The statue has him labelled as a 'philanthropist' https://twitter.com/_jackgrey/status/1269625428400132096?s=19

I think there will be another spark to the movement, another senseless killing because there's no way that every police force in America can not be violently brutal and that will push everyone to their breaking point. The proud boys are gonna have to post 24 hour guards on ConFed monuments or else they're all going down. The white pride bullshit is going to be unbearable through that.

shy boy from chess club posted:2020 is beginning to redeem itself I love how in times like these you find unusual allies, like Juggalos being pro-BLM. Twitter Kpop Stans are doing god's work during this. For anyone who hasn't heard, any racist, pro-cop, pro-trump hashtags are being overrun with fan cam videos, gifs, and photos of Korean pop stars. Whitey tries to start a new hashtag and they're on it in minutes. Various cities and government agencies have tried to start snitch sites where you can upload video of protesters being naughty, and they hit those too. Just stealing the thunder off every rear end in a top hat and replacing it with innocent Korean pop silliness. They're a loving swarm, and it's magical. The best part is they don't even have to work at it, they just wait for something offensive to trend and then they just take it over. Other than that I've had these songs playing pretty much on repeat this weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWXazVhlyxQ gently caress YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG8LcqR1kqw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlk7o5T56iw (skip to 40s if you've already heard Ice-T spit the truth) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeQM1c-XCDc (skip to 1:00 if you want to get to the music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lIqNjC1RKU All good for protesting from your chair like me.

add this to your protest from the computer rotation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ_gFyB6GnA I went out to a local protest in the next town over, the much more working-class and ethnically diverse City of Ypsilanti, MI since there wasn't anything going down in my own town (ann arbor get your poo poo together). It was really, really good. There were probably a couple thousand people, at least according to the newspaper. It's always tough to estimate when you're in the crowd. Really positive energy. The police chief met with leaders outside the police station. I felt like there's a chance that we maybe get something accomplished. respect to the comrades the kpop stans, never thought i'd say that in a million years

I finally got around to thoroughly cleaning my bike (~16 year old Trek 1000) after riding in a bunch of heavy rain this week. I’m trying to make riding before work and getting at least 10 miles in a new habit, I’ll be damned if I let rain get in the way of getting in shape (down 18 lbs since May 4 from 277.8 to 259.8). Anyway, my chain and gears had a shitload of old grease and sand stuck in them, so I hosed everything off with some citrus degreaser, scrubbed the chain and all of the sprockets and derailleurs with soap and water, wiped it down, and applied dry lube to every roller on the chain. I also got new pedals, going from an ancient shimano pedal to brand new Look Sprint pedals. Old pedals weighed over 8oz each, new ones are 5oz each. It rides like a brand new bike now. Shifts like butter from the top of the gearset to the bottom. Amazing what I was missing by being lazy and not servicing my bike.

Nice, those tires are probably old as poo poo though. Michelin hasn’t made that type in quite some time, iirc. Cooper makes a good all-terrain that isn’t terribly expensive.

I've got the Cooper at3s on mine and they aren't good in mud, got my truck buried to the frame on grass trying to pull my stuck mower out, 4wd with a rear locker. Had to rescue it with my tractor. I don't do rock crawling but they might be good for that since the 3 is for the sidewall and they are stiff as all hell. They are also really good on road, quiet and smooth, truck handles great for a truck and they look cool.

So, folks, what's the opinion for using gasket sealant when doing a waterpump/thermostat? I've always used RTV of some sort, but recently been reading people saying not to and just use the gaskets themselves and call it a day. That's genuinely never crossed my mind until now. Thoughts?

Scrape the block mating surface with a plastic scraper, put a VERY thin layer of RTV (paper thin smeared on with a fingertip) on both sides of the gasket if it's a paper or cork gasket. If it's a rubber gasket, lube it with a little oil of some kind instead of RTV.
