Good morning all, may this day and season bring you joy and peace. :)

Oh look, an Italian machine with an oil leak. Shocking. :laughing My roommate has a Dorsoduro 750 that stripped out the threads on it's oil drain. He's attempted to install a longer (auto parts store) plug to engage the remaining threads in the case, but it's still leaking quite a bit. The bike...

Going to be picking up a cheap commuter car in a couple months, and wanted to check options in the EV world. Commute is going be 20-30 miles each way, charging probably at home only, and pretty cold winters. Not picky about comfort or fanciness, just want to get A-B as economically as possible...

Critical missing man skill: I don't know how to sharpen a knife. I mean, in very general terms, I can take a blade from useless to mediocre, but beyond that it's a black art to me. Twelve seconds of googling has revealed as much conflicting information as an oil thread on a knife forum. Halp...

So I don't know if I got myself banned or something, I can open forums just fine, and view user profiles, but can't open any threads. Interestingly, it's letting me create this one. Will see what happens. @budman :kiss :love :wave :twofinger :later

So this has been running around Facebook the last couple days, and I think at the very least it's interesting. Cliff notes: Probably maybe not a pyramid scheme, the long term plan seems vaguely plausible, and their privacy measures seem sound. https://initiativeq.com/ From the website...

2015 Subaru, projector halogen headlights, H11 bulb. Finally burned one out at 60k miles. I'd like to upgrade, is there LED stuff out there that actually provides good lighting and beam pattern, or is it all just "SUPER BRIGHT BLUE 9000 LUMENS BRO!!!!!!11!111" My millenial stepson* swears by...

It's that time of year again when the universe reminds us that fate is not without a sense of humor. Happy birthday to both ends of the axis! :devil :angel

One of your needs to change your damn avatar. I'm getting hella confused over here. :rofl

http://www.king5.com/mobile/article/news/nation-world/one-dead-after-engine-blows-apart-on-southwest-flight/507-540533870 Scary stuff. I fly SWA all the time, and was scheduled to be on that flight today until a last minute opening let me travel last night instead. :rose

Partner and I are launching a small business, and we're looking for a provider for our banking services. Anybody have experience with any of the major banks, as far as who is going to be responsive and relatively painless to deal with? I've had bad experiences with BofA, Wells Fargo, and US Bank...

So our Jetta is getting near the end of it's life, and we're looking to replace it with a Subaru. The idea in general is something worthy of rough-ish forest roads, reliable, good in the snow, and with room for camping and climbing gear and to sleep in the back. My inclination is towards a 5-10...

Broken links in signatures Looking at the standard website on a mobile device, I'm noticing that my signature and several others appear as blocks of code rather than hyperlinks. Will check on the desktop to see if it shows up there as well.

Scenario: The 13yo who is now in our custody needs a computer for school. He has one that lived at his mom's apartment long enough that it is now hopelessly infected with cat piss chemicals, and it cannot come in our home. We would rather build than buy, mostly for the experience of putting it...

Haha. You all woke up at the wrong time. And tomorrow you'll feel like shit because somebody moved the sun over an hour. I hate this every twice a year, it's fucking stupid, and now my morning commute is pitch fucking black again. At least our afternoon is starting to return. Also it's...

-Posted with Budman's permission- Now that I have your attention :teeth April and I are signed up with the American Lung Association's Climb for Clean Air initiative, which sponsors mountaineering programs in the Pacific Northwest as fundraisers for their ongoing efforts to promote clean...

So my younger daughter now has a license and car, and for various reasons I have a need to keep a really close eye on this one. She does not live with me. There seem to be a number of solutions out there for GPS monitoring, many as simple as an OBD port plug and play, with a nifty web...

Probably going to Belize next week for work. Our job is about an hour from Belize City, and will be a day or two. I may be able to schedule another free day or two before travelling home. I'm in charge of my own rental car and hotel arrangements. Tell me what not to miss. :)

Over 500 MILLION Yahoo! accounts compromised in 2014, revealed just days ago ahead of the Verizon buyout: http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/22/technology/yahoo-data-breach/ This is just the latest in a long string of such breaches, and as of a couple months ago, I've been looking into how to better...

It's a far-fetched plan, floated out there by a venture capital firm, but the fact that the conversation is now public highlight something that I have believed for a while now: that eventually, with the widespread adoption of automated vehicles, human operations of motor vehicles will become...
