Sorry I'm dumb, what do you mean the house isn't in the right city? I assume you didn't buy a house you've never seen so you know where it is physically, is it on land that comes under one township and you thought it was in another?

150+ kids in the last 1:30

Might blow well over 200 this year

Err, phrasing?

Went to a Halloween party at the house off some people my wife met through the kids of another friend (convoluted story), so I finally got to wear the Zoidberg costume I made years ago, met some new nice people, had adult conversations with new people, it was great.

Turned the laptop on this morning to sort out my car insurance renewal, it started doing Win10 updates so I sorted car insurance over the phone, switched energy suppliers and started looking at mobile SIM tariffs, then went out and took the kids to cycle in the park, came back and made dinner before it loving finished.

I can't afford a Mac and I'm not sure it'd actually be a better thing overall but this is a vicious circle - laptop is poo poo, don't use often. Need laptop? Needs a day of updates, therefore laptop is poo poo.

Also had a funny encounter at work, on Monday I decided I wanted Tuesday off, so I asked and got it, when a co-worker asked why I jokingly said it was a mental health day. Wednesday my boss took me to one side and gingerly/clumsily tried to ask me if I was having mental health issues and needed counselling or help. :3: I managed to convince him it was just a good time to do some more landscaping work before the weather got terrible.

So how do I find out what to fit? it's a Toshiba Satellite C850 1LQ with a 750GB drive, I could get away with ~500GB to keep the cost down.

Any 2.5" SSD should fit in that. 480GB is about £90

You could also buy yourself a smaller and cheaper SSD to use for the OS and keep your old 750GB drive in place of the DVD drive using one of these ebay specials

What are you? You're a star, that's what. I think I'll ditch the optical drive.

I finally understand the whole 2nd amendment thing and why it's still there.

Trump described an unarmed protester as an assassination attempt, anyone talking about forming a militia will probably get their entire state nuked to glass if his responses remain in proportion.

Also count down to his using the term Trump States, as he named everything else after himself.

As normal I woke at 5:30am this morning. It's now 3am. I got called in to work just as I was dozing off after a hot shower at 10pm. My mind is wandering and someone is going to take this walkie talkie off me soon, I can feel it. I've also had enough of stairs, I've been up and down this grubby press a hundred times. 4 flights of stairs.




I'm hungry.

I'll be alright in the morning I guess, I usualljy am because what the gently caress else can you do but keep on hitting hte wall until it breaks if you can't find a way around it.?

After a lot of discussion with friends I'm fairly convinced I suffered a minor breakdown a couple of years ago and I was feeling the same way. I didn't think I could talk to anyone at the time because I was just being a pussy and needed to man up. Thanks society, for making me think that's how I should have reacted to crippling loneliness, depression, money issues, lack of sleep etc. No, I should have spoken to someone. All of those things can be addressed. My wife would have helped with anything she could, if she'd have known what was wrong. I've friends who'd have dropped everything and come seen me for as long as helping took, if they'd have known. I've family who'd have done the same. You almost certainly do too, whether you feel that or not.

I've actually been told that I should brake harder, it's better for the disc brakes, especially the rear brakes.

Of course, that would also suggest that I should accelerate harder ;)

The main problem seems to be that traffic doesn't want to accelerate as quickly as I want to. When you out-accelerate 95% of traffic at half throttle, shifting at 3K RPM, it's actually kinda depressing.

Common early V70 problem is the rear brakes seizing up with lack of use. The solution is to put weight in the back and romp on it.

I'm expecting the same with the teacup-sized drums in the rear of my panda so I drove that like I stole it whenever curves are likely. Unfortunately this now means I want to trade it in for the 100hp model, which defies the point of getting it in the first place.

Oh, no MR2 for me, it was just the car that comes to mind when I think Mid-engined RWD, since it is in the name and whatnot. If all goes well, by this time next week, I'll have a different MR car with a T-top, an 81 FIAT X1/9. I definitely plan on updating the suspension on ASAP and I have money for winter tires and a spare set of wheels set aside, but I want to be sure that if I gently caress up in the snow/slush/ice and start losing control, that I understand how to unfuck myself
