Coworker's 2010 Nissan Altima SR V6 apparently needs a head gasket. It's got 46k miles and the shop is quoting him $4k. I've never had a head gasket done but that seems pretty high. It's also just a few months out of warranty... I suppose there's no way to piss and moan to the dealer and get them to cover it? Pretty hosed up to need a head gasket at 46000 miles.

Though I don't drink nearly as much as I used too, I have noticed my bank account has really jumped up at least 150-200 bucks a month. Its amazing what you save when your not out dropping 20-30 bucks when your out drinking.meatpimp posted:God that bugs me.

How is watching netflix any different than a TV?

I didn't own a TV for several years before online streaming services got popular. Apparently now it's a hipster "thing", if you don't watch TV or own a TV, you're cool? I dunno.

I find all the people in the thread with major alcohol problems and who're obviously psychologically dependent on smoking up to be more concerning than the people who don't drink/smoke/bang underage hookers. But then again I don't smoke and drink primarily in moderation, and I hold down a job a requirement of which is "don't use drugs", so I guess I'm one of those wierdo squares.

I have exposed myself to enough carcinogens without taking up smoking. Used to drink a lot but forgot how to, so usually just a couple beers with friends on friday nights. Drugs never really interested me at all, adrenaline is my thing. IMO almost all drugs should be legal though, so have fun guys, I don't care if you smoke like a willie nelson concert.

Pretty much this. I don't care if you do it, smoke it, drink it. It just ain't my thing. Not to mention most of my jobs require a security clearance, and most of them involve monthly random testing. I'm more worried about accidentally maxx'ing my radiation exposure for the year than whether I'll piss hot.

I used to be a huge pot head in my 20's. Seemed like I was stoned almost every day, I look back on it now and it was stupid and held me back from accomplishing anything early in life. I had fun though so I guess that's the trade off. These days I only smoke at night to watch a movie/TV and veg then go to sleep. I also love my Bulleit whiskey from time to time but I don't get drunk because I hate it. I get why people don't like being drunk and/or stoned, it's a personal preference thing, and if people give you poo poo about it they're idiots.

If you want something more interesting you can work on the operating systems or programming models, but the problem is all the application programmers have their 20 year old FORTRAN+C MPI codes that they'll never ever re-write so you have to support legacy bullshit forever. I used to do HPC work, you may notice I wasn't a fan.

I rarely have more than two beers to drink in a night and the odd time I do I usually regret it since nothing interesting happens at all. Weed gives me nausea. And generally I don't feel compelled to get hosed up beyond a couple of beers. I really don't hold it against anybody who wants to though. I just wish the guy in the unit next to me would smoke outside when he feels compelled to smoke a whole bowl, you can smell that poo poo half way down the hallway.

oh gently caress yes! As you may have guessed, the lincoln mark iv doesn't have a very large DIY community....or any at all, really. it also doesn't have any parts support whatsoever. So with a broken part on a very rare option on a car with no documentation out there, i thought i was hosed. digging down to the deepest depths of the internet, i think i've finally found the part. The sunroof was made by golde, who also made the sunroof for a bunch of other cars, including the porsche 356. A car people actually do bother fixing, and therefore bother making new parts for. http://www.stoddard.com/356/roofs-t...upe-models.html  it's also made extra long to cut down to the size in whatever car uses the same part.

The owner of the company thought it would be a good idea to install all the patch panels and switches in all 4 racks BEFORE we had to hump them up 4 flights of stairs. I dry heaved a bunch and now I have a migraine. Oh well, time for Guiness and cheeseburgers.

Maybe its time to look at a no weed/easy on the drinking diet and some proper exercise. I mean, I am fat, but I can't remember the last time I dry heaved while doing moderate physical activity.

The easier way? Drop your main breaker along with all the breakers that you don't want to run and then back feed into the panel. The correct and don't burn your house down way? Maybe 750ish with parts and labor.
