Apparently I might be actually getting a loan and buying a house of my own sometime within the next few months. That's a weird feeling. Also? Clearing out months worth of weeds / grass / plants with a gas powered weed wacker is the most satisfying thing ever. Now I am become Death, destroyer of weeds

freelop posted:How concentrated was it? It wasn't anything too horribly bad. Removed one of the regulators from our 150lb bottle right as I was inhaling so I got enough of a dose to burn my throat for a bit and spent most of the day feeling like I had a rock on my chest, but it's cleared up now. Re: Weight chat, i'm 6'5" and right around the 210/215lb mark. Now that the weather's warming up I really need to start walking / jogging again, and get back to doing situps to try and get rid of my fatty fatty fat fat gut.

Safety Dance posted:Why in god's name do you have 150lb bottles of chlorine gas? To chlorinate our water system, duh  Realtalk (and I can't remember the math off the top of my head so don't hold me 100% to this), I think we use ~1lb or so a day. We usually run 2 bottles side by side so we have right around a year's worth of gas hooked up at any given time. Lately one of our regulators hasn't been feeding, hence us taking it off to check it and me getting a lovely dose of gas. e: I think they're 150lb bottles. 150 or 130, somewhere in that general vicinity.

Yo, racing sim dudes, what would you guys suggest I get if I wanted a decent wheel to play DiRT Rally with? I'm picking up a GTX 970 + another 8GB of RAM in a few weeks, after that I think I'm gonna splurge on a nice wheel / pedal combo. I kinda want to get a Logitech G27 but I don't know if I can justify that $240 price. I mean, it looks loving rad and I really really really want it, but is there anything decent that's a bit less pricy?

I can't comment on the quality of the series itself, as this is the first / only event I've caught I just don't have TV at my place and don't care enough to follow along with most series. What i'm seeing today is neat at least, but I doubt i'll pay much attention to it after this afternoon.

Welp. Been having doubts about my roomie's g/f, walked in on her blowing some dude she introduced as her "cousin" earlier. Never have I been so satisfied to tell someone to get the gently caress out and never come back. Especially after she shittalked his previous exes for cheating on him. Wish I had some booze or  to share with him at least

Super Aggro Crag posted:Wow, good riddance. No tolerance for cheaters. Oh, her excuse for it was even better. Apparently she was "picking ticks off him because he's from Texas and not used to how bad the ticks are up here." And she was bare assed because she had a mole on her leg or some poo poo? I don't even remember, her justification was hilarious. On the plus side, I know exactly what his car looks like, and it's real fuckin' obvious and stands out (Not saying I'm gonna gently caress with his car, just that I now know what to watch out for in case the dipshit decides to try something.)

Also, unrelated, but I was gifted a swagbag from my aunt's b/f full of awesome old school camera gear. Got a Yoshica TL Super from 1966 with a 50m f/1.4 prime lens, a pistol grip telephoto, and various filters and light metering tools. Some of this stuff is even marked as being manufactured in Germany (West), so it's pre-Fall of the Berlin Wall gear. Talk about rad. T1g4h fucked around with this message at 20:54 on May 11, 2015 |

Arriviste posted:Score! Hope you post pics of the your loot. Photodump incoming!  Here's the bag everything came in. Pretty hefty, pockets everywhere, and it has a ridiculous amount of space on the inside. First up, there's the camera itself:  It came in this super nice case. It doesn't quite reach the snaps in the back, but that's not a huge deal since I'm storing it inside the giant bag anyways.  Here's the camera. Yashica TL Super. From what I've found online, it was made in 1966. They seem to be regarded as pretty good and underrated SLRs. It has some serious heft to it, pretty sure it weighs as much as my T2i, if not more.  The lens is a 50mm prime, f/1.4. It has a Vivitar Skylight filter that I cannot seem to remove, so I guess that will be staying for the time being because I really don't want to break anything. The thing is immaculate, it looks incredibly well taken care of.  Original manuals, and...  A receipt and card from the store when it was purchased! The receipt says 84, so obviously it was bought used, but drat it looks like new. Next, there's this:    Sun 85 - 210mm zoom lens. This thing is rad, and has about 3 or 4 different rings / switches that you have to play with to actually take the photo. From what I've read, they weren't exactly super crazy fancy lenses, but it's still neat nonetheless. I dig the hand grip. The rest of what the bag contains is a variety of accessories:     An Edmund Wateler Watameter rangefinder. It slips into the hotshoe just above the viewfinder for range finding purposes.       Gossen Sixon Color Finder. This is probably my favorite thing in the bag, just because of that interesting little bit specifying it was made in West Germany, pre-Fall of the Berlin Wall. Internet claims these were made in 1952 or so, though this could also be a later model. Either way, it's in incredible condition, although the box is haggard and falling apart.    This is probably the newest thing in the collection, a Honeywell Auto/Strobonar 110. Believe it's from the mid 80's.     Lastly, I have an Agfa Agfalux flash unit. Don't know much about this, still not entirely sure how to get the actual fan bits to unfold and I don't really want to mess with it too much for fear of snapping things Apologies if all the images kill anyone's browser. Just let me know and I can edit out most of them and just link the Imgur album if anyone ends up having issues.

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

It's official, I don't get how old school rally drivers survived. I finally got DiRT 3 to recognize the H Shifter on my G27 and i've been blasting around in the Lancia Stratos... it's a loving handful. I still haven't even tried doing it in H Shifter + Clutch mode, I'm fairly certain my car would end up upside down over a cliff As is, 9 times out of 10 it ends up rear end backwards in a hairpin corner with me frantically trying to countersteer and manage revs.
