My brother brought one of those back from Korea. It wasn't that fast but it could haul rear end well enough.

Humphreys posted:Yep, Plex. I have lifetime plexpass which includes access to the plexamp for android. And my car has andriod-auto. Neat. I'll have to look into that. Don't suppose they have something for i-Things? I'll look. Darchangel posted:The feed I used for the gauge inside the car does read about .9V low for some dumb reason. There was 11.9 at the starter. Jumping the start terminal from the battery feed resulted in cranking, so starter OK. No takers? Fine.  It cranked right up when I put it in park/neutral, other than the battery being a bit low form having the door open, and the ignition on for some time while testing. In my wife's defense, she was distracted by my daughter, most likely, when they got back from shopping Sunday morning. Replacement bushings for the floppy rear control arm came in, so I guess I'll do those over Christmas weekend.

Congrats Bajaha! Feel good story of the day. There's gonna be a lot of COVID babies... My wife started feeling like she had a cold on Saturday. Got COVID tested on Sunday. Positive result came back today. I'm getting tested now, just to confirm that I'm positive. I can't imagine I'm not, since we spend most of our time together. gently caress. I'm asymptomatic, she's just congested and ran a 99.2° fever for the weekend, back to normal now. I wish there was a way to know how we caught it. We're super careful, both work from home/alone. Only trips are groceries once every 3 weeks and a recent doctor's appointment for her. Stay safe out there, folks. I lost a cousin a couple weeks ago out in Arizona.

Its bad. fwiw telling some rando without a mask that's trying to get closer than a grindr hookup that they're interacting with someone that might have covid stops em dead in their loving tracks. Like they've just pissed off momma bear stopped. They don't give a poo poo about other people's lives but when theirs get involved, the gears start to spin.

I'm still not convinced I didn't have it, given how many days I had symptoms. My director heard what happened and immediately prioritized me for vaccination. I'm still 50/50 - but I guess with the 2nd strain looming, I'll take my chances.

Last day of work for the year, our robot cell has a turning unit for the workpieces that gets stuck half the time because the indexer for the workpieces is always off by a couple of degrees, so I'm hunched over in the cell pulling on the workpiece with my hands to make it snap into place in the turning unit. I suddenly notice the rinser/dryer on the other side of the cell has also stopped because of X, and if the piece is stuck in there for too long it'll rust and have to be discarded so I'm getting a bit stressed out because the turning unit is after the dryer in the chain so I have to get it running or the piece in the rinser will just be stuck there after I get it running anyway. Sweat is literally running down my forehead as I'm pulling on the motherfucker stuck in the turning unit and finally it snaps into place and I quickly stand up to get over to the dryer. The parking position for the robot is right next to the turning unit, and after operating this piece of poo poo for almost two years I know this very well, but that doesn't stop me from pushing my head straight up into the robot arm at supersonic speed. I've never hit my head hard enough to get a blackout before, but here we are. This POS is a prototype that after about 3 million $ and two years still isn't running right, but we get another one in January and I swear to loving god if it doesn't run any better I'm going to burn this poo poo to the ground. Merry Christmas you loving animals.

sharkytm posted:Nope. I bet I see fewer than 10 people a week aside from my mom and my wife. Probably should have... You guys could have gotten it from a surface somewhere too. Glad to see other states have it and people are using them though. The more I read about the long term side effects the more I want to avoid it. Not like I wanted to get sick before but some of the after effects are downright terrifying. I wonder if the UK super spreader special mutation has made it stateside yet. Of course we didn't close the borders down so we can try to put the toothpaste back into the tube once it's way too late, USA! USA!

Yeah there's zero chance it's not already in the states. My youngest brothers girlfriend just tested positive and her two kids had a crappy weekend apparently. I'm really hoping he does ok, he's immunocompromised  So far I've been fine but I may have had it in February, I had a really lovely week and a half at one point. I dunno. Either way, I've been avoiding everyone as much as possible and wearing a mask and hope to get vaccinated as soon as possible, I'm tired of this poo poo. gently caress living during historic times, this sucks.

Stepdad found out he has skin cancer in two spots. Goes under the knife sometime soon. One of the locations is on an earlobe? so there's gonna be some reconstruction. Why don't we have a gently caress 2020 smile yet? e: speaking of gently caress 2020... nearly 1,800 new COVID cases in the Austin metro area today. That number was only eclipsed on December 1st (roughly 2k). My employer grants all vacation time and company holidays (plus a handful of personal days) on the first pay cycle of the year, I think I'm gonna take a couple of weeks off in early January. Sick time accrues through the year based on hours worked, so I still have a cushion if I wind up calling in sick here and there. I have 3 days of holiday pay that's gonna roll over into next year too. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Dec 23, 2020 |

Well after 2 years of being berated and busting my arse all day, a shoulder bursitis and basically being lied to about my job, I got some good news today. Got to tell my current department to go sit on a dick for 6 months while I go off and play being a ranger for the forestry corporation here in South Aus! Start early next year. Gonna be a great new adventure.

Any damage to your place? And congrats on getting sober. It's a tough road. You don't need to be religious to send good thoughts to people. STR, that sucks. Good news is they they've gotten really good at removing and reconstructing skin cancer. My MiL has had 6? surgeries to remove skin cancer, including one tumor that had grown tendrils half across her face. Other than some redness, you'd never know if you looked at her. I mean, she's no model, but she doesn't look like Frankenstein's monster.
