Hell yeah, our Office Manager got canned last night. GM thought everyone else was gone and the Controller didn't know what was going on before she stepped out, so it was just myself and a co-worker in here alone while a manager from a different department watched over her shoulder while she took over 20 minutes to pack the ungodly amount of poo poo on and in her desk up. Real awkward.

Nice. I got to pack my desk once at 10 AM on a Tuesday in front of the entire cube farm. HR manager standing right on my rear end the whole time. The real awkward part was that it was her first day. I have a lot of personal tools and books so it was 3 trips to my car.

Not sure if it's fully automatic, but if it's a semi-auto with a manual shift but no clutch, I'd assume it's some kind of solenoid actuation with a sensor on the shifter?

STR posted:Curb weight for a 2013 Silverado 1500 (which is roughly what that truck appeared to be) is: 4,460 to 5,487 lbs. Probably safe to assume 4460 is if you get the (pretty much never optioned) 4.3 V6 (I didn't even know that was still an option on those, but safe to say that's probably only an option for fleet models). That's a 2500HD, at least. Look at the wheels and the big-rear end diesel exhaust pipe. 8 lugs - I can see at least 5 lug nuts just from the angle viewed. So closer to 6K pounds.

Maybe it's just automatic all the time and the button just moves the clutch pedal, which never actually does anything.

Applebees Appetizer posted:The best Ferrari Spyder is the Daytona Spyder Seems like a hybrid of an SMG transmission and a manual, which isn't too complex if you're looking at BMW's early setup -- the E46 M3 had the same gearbox whether it was SMG or manual. So you can swap to either version. Some smart guy at Ferrari came up with a way to switch back-and-forth. https://jalopnik.com/how-to-own-a-bmw-e46-m3-with-a-proper-manual-for-next-t-1747802451

First day of work went well aside from me being dead tired. Have 32 hours for next week already, plus 4 hours tomorrow for a little bit of training. Except during orientation they did the typical "so here's the location organizational structure.. here's the dept managers, here's the store management". With head shots. The head honcho of the store? His name sounded familiar, but he has a super common name. Then I saw the picture. Looked him up on LinkedIn to confirm. Yup, I knew him growing up. I have no idea how that's gonna play out. I'm sure he'll remember my name whenever we finally run into each other, but we were never on bad terms of any kind (we both ran dialup BBSs in our hometown, he was my cosysop at one point I think too). I just don't know what kind of corporate crap might come into play here. Hopefully none, we lost touch after I moved over 20 years ago. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Jun 8, 2019 |

Challenge time AI! I'm trying to fix the Water Injection in my Saab. Its got a 1980 Saab original optional equipment kit fitted, so is very primitive. Here are the instructions (in swedish) if anybody wants some bedtime reading! - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ow1mwjfwp3jhf71/Vatteninsprutning_Saab_99_900_text.pdf?dl=0 1) It has a timer relay with the number Hella 5HE 003 984-01. It doesn't seem to work (I think a lot of the solder joints have separated from the board) and I cant find any details on this part number. Can anybody else? From the wiring diagram this is wired like a normal 4 pin automotive relay but is only supposed to run for a short while (I'd guess 3-10 secs). It primes the water injection line. If i cant buy the correct relay (likely) I can find adjustable ones - just would be nice to know what the correct time should be.  2) The nozzle was blocked (pictured above). I have managed to unblock it slightly but it doesn't squirt, just drips slowly. It looks pretty much like a screen washer nozzle ( it uses a windscreen washer reservoir and pump to move the water so this would be about right!). it injects pre-turbo so I cant imagine the spray pattern is critical. Any ideas where I can buy a generic nozzle that will go into a 6mm hole and on 6mm hose and will spray at about 0.3-0.5 bar?

Lord Stimperor posted:Toddlers Honestly, it's the same as tornado drills, or the old nuclear drills. The chances of a kid ever needing it are statistically extremely slim. However it improves their chances of survival vastly in the tiny, tiny edge case that it is needed, so it's worth doing if you're an organization that's in loco parentis like a school. Same as any responsible parent probably teaches their kids where to go if a fire breaks out at home, or in a tornado.

Powershift posted:Can you bench test the relay? Yes, I have opened it up (that's just the empty casing in the photo) If I put 12v across 15 and 31 with the board out of the case nothing happens and nothing moves. Looking at the board all the components look to be in good condition however all the traces and most of the components have separated from the board slightly so I assume something is not making contact properly. I'll get a photo tomorrow. Both the pressure sensors, the pump and tank level gauge all test as OK. This is written on the top of the case. Its served its time..  (when I bought the car back in around 2007 it came in a non running state with pistons and a cylinder head both written off by detonation and the boost set much higher than stock)

It's a (shockingly well paying) overnight job in a retail store, and I have enough retail experience that they basically handwaved me through the interview process. Not exactly anything that requires a clearance. They'll do a credit check if I ever move into a management position or a position handling more than a single register's worth of money, that's about as far as it goes. He and I haven't talked since I left our hometown, and AFAIK he has no idea I work there yet. Today was supposed to be power equipment training day. That took all of 10 minutes instead of a couple of hours, since I've used everything before at another retailer, just never actually got certified or trained properly. The equipment is just bigger versions of everything I've used before, so it was proving I know how to use everything safely and getting used to the controls (i.e. don't hit the sprinkler or camera directly above where the forklift usually sits), some pencil whipping and a "so how late do you want to stay today? I got hours to burn if you want them." So I wound up working day shift. Pretty much thrown to the wolves, but the customer mobile app lets you look up where specific items are in the store. I've also been a regular customer at this specific store for 10 months now, so I know the layout fairly well. My legs and feet are killing me though. Gonna need to get some new shoes, get used to being on my feet all day again, and get used to climbing ladders constantly again.

I just guided a friend through the build of a new video editing PC. He probably dropped 2K on this rig, it's awesome. That said I've never built a system with the newer Intel sockets (always been a AMD guy, and my current Intel computer I purchased pre-built) and holy gently caress what a needlessly complex mounting system for the CPU fan.

The 4 screws through the board setup? My last AMD had that too (I wanna say an Athlon 64 X2 5200+), though it also had the tabs on the socket (pretty sure all AMD stuff has the same, or similar, 4 hole mounting method now?). I've broken those tabs off before when using beefy copper heatsinks with those old screamer 7000 RPM Delta fans. It's also a really solid mounting system that doesn't rely on the CPU socket, and spreads the weight out a lot better. I have a pretty beefy Cooler Master copper heatpipe + aluminum finned cooler with a 120mm fan, and the board holds it fine. It's usually only a complex mounting setup if you get a heavy cooler that uses a bracket on the backside of the board... and forget to put the bracket on before putting the board in the case (my cooler is one of these, but my case has a cutout that allows access to that part of the board). The OEM Intel cooler just has plastic quarter turn things that pop through, though it's laughably terrible if you do anything that stresses the CPU (also, loud). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Jun 9, 2019 |
