  1. i don't gun it in situations like that. i'm an asshole for much different reasons. i'm guessing you might have been that person in the other lane one time, no?
  2. if i did a poor job describing it, my fault. but if you drive down spicewood springs west of mesa, you probably know of the exact merge location.
  3. i've been a silicon valley sunshine pumper in the past, but the episodes are getting so slow and what happens in most episodes now is so contrived. richard needs to just gtfo. jin yiang used to provide a small amount of comic relief, but his character now is just flat out stupid. the funny thing is that i'll continue watching anyway.
  4. i think some may be confused (or one of the assholes). there is *no* lane left for them. why the fuck would it be appropriate to pass on the wrong side of a 2 lane road with a solid yellow stripe because you weren't paying attention to your required merge?
  5. no fuck those assholes. when someone is way behind you and runs past their merge on your left side, they're shitty ass drivers.
  6. if you were a commodork back in the day, you might be interested in the mini c64. https://thec64.com
  7. those fuckers on spicewood springs who are way behind you and punch the gas in the left hand merge lane just west of mesa need to die.
  8. if you haven't already noticed, bosch s4 is now available.
  9. btw i thought the engine was briggs & stratton but i'll have to check this weekend.
  10. i think you're in my neck of the woods, so if you're interested i'll let you have mine for next to nothing. the kicker is that it's a...craftsman. i've only had to change the blade and do the simple maintenance stuff on it. haven't had any problems with it, but it has been sitting in my garage for about 2 years. it's about 9 years old. i think i might have other extra parts for it as well.
  11. jaleel hasn't realized that jimbo moved up to a blueblood school /aggy
  12. i'm gonna live vicariously through this thread for awhile--doc doesn't want me doing handiwork and yardwork for awhile. sounds great, but after awhile you're pining for finding problems to fix. on my to-do list: - destroy and remove a cracking concrete patio and replacing it with wood and built in seating - replace our somehow still working water heater from 1986 - pull out p.o.s. cabinets in garage and build out a workspace that is more useful - flip the w/d in the garage to the other side of the wall which is a mudroom - get rid of or sell a shitton of power tools that I no longer need. seems like i was a dumping ground for everyone's busted weed eaters and rusted clippers. - leaf guards for the gutters. invent some roomba-type gadget to brush/blow all of the tree shit off the roof and clean the skylights (i can dream, right?) - fix the damn lighting fixture in the guest bathroom that's been hanging precariously from the electrical box for the past decade
  13. yep. apple II, II+, IIgs, IIc+, III macintosh (original), plus, color classic, IIfx trs-80 III next cube, station kaypro ...and others most of the above required a little tlc to get working again, however i mainly focus on locating obscure peripherals now.
  14. Once we have a war with imgur there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war.
  15. watch out dude, you might get caught in a sting to bust underground contact lens dealers. heard about the problem on nextdoor, so it has to be true.
  16. nextdoor can get pretty weird, but it's nothing compared to the batshit crazies on the nwaca facebooks.
  17. just a heads up...the lost boys is now available on netflix. it's not my favorite, but there are a ton of 80s "actors" and pop culture references in that flick. i feel a bit bad about it, but laughing at the coreys (especially haim), is one of the best aspects of tlb. thou shall not fall...
  18. i've heard good things about austin dent works on burnet. i'll probably go there for the next time i need minor work. however, the last time i had hail damage on a car, it was a massive amount of work so i went through insurance. had ellis & salazar do the job, but i had to take the car back twice for them to get it right.
