Can't say enough positive stuff about getting an OBD2 reader, they're freaking fantastic.

I drive my poor car so freaking hard and I've had a bad misfire when it gets up to temp that no one has been able to diagnose. In less than 24h owning this widget I discovered it was misfiring on all 4 cylinders when it got hot on a low tank of gas. My theory is that the turbo is boiling the gas return line and it's heating up the tank. When the fuel pump goes to work it's not sending enough pressure (because hot gas / insufficient lube in the pump (gas lubes the pump)).

TL;DR epic little widget.

We are having a baby tomorrow. The c-scheduled for tomorrow morning. We have to be at the hospital at 5am.

Two kids under 2. Life is going to be crazy.

Best of luck to you and your spouse. May tomorrow come to a close with smiles, joy and good health to both mother and baby.

As for the two kids under 2,... Try having twins....Its kinda why I look like:

I don't know how you handle twins!

One bottle of Tylenol and Fireball at a time....

Speaking of that. It is funny that you mention whiskey. My son had bad toothaches and we tried all the baby crap on the market for toothpain. Some older people suggested we try putting whiskey on his gums. That worked so well, I wish we would have tried it months before we did.

That is what my grandmother did to us.

Whatever works, right?

Edit: I wonder if this works for adults with problem teeth.

I am willing to sacrifice myself to find out. Donations to my cause are happily accepted.

Been really angry the last few days. No reason for it either.

I despise being a stupid jumped up poorly evolved monkey some days.

Basic income would indeed be an improvement in many ways. I believe/hope it should/will come with a shift in our culture towards a more open and enlightened society. Unfortunately change takes a long time. We are a stubborn species.

And vengeful. A lot of the people who work will want the people who choose not to not to get anything. That's the problem. You have to accept that the workers take care of the non-workers. But because working is purely optional, hopefully that fixes a lot.

How do we move towards this though? Many countries (especially the ones I care about most, Canada/USA) have trashed their education systems. I would begin there and build that back as a foundational block of society.

It's a big project and it makes me want to run for office.

Matt Speller 2016. It's not too late to announce yourself independant

Being born in Canada might make it too late for him, though.

There were so many claims that President Obama wasn't born in this country. I think Matt could get away with it. What would @MattSpeller 's slogan be?

Kittens, IceCream and Dictatorship for all. Vote Speller '16 and know that your fate is safe in my iron grip.

@RojoLoco bullshit and flattery won't get you anywhere. As punishment I'm appointing you as the head of the Department of Inebriation. This post is not permanent and your performance will be evaluated by all citizens.

A partial mandate for this position will include:

• Quality control of intoxicants
• Developing school curricula to educate on wise use & production
• Educating and informing the public of your services
• Advising and curating selections of intoxicants for certain occasions/holidays (working with the Department of the Arts)
• Working with the Department of Agriculture to ensure top quality ingredients are available to all citizens affordably and promptly.
• Creating a program to ensure there are safe places to consume intoxicants which may have harmful side effects, modeled on the "Insite" program running in Canada and some scandinavian countries.

Going to begin investigating real estate outside the city limits. An acre or two of forest and a double wide is growing more attractive the older I get. Other than that, probably fishing somewhere.

Nice to see some other Elon Musk fanboys. I'm alone where I live sadly.

He's an interesting character that's for sure. I like that he's doing it but it saddens me that we need such a character to make this sort of progress.

Quick, anyone know someone from IT to fix this horrific oversight?

Real simple solution, get a private ISP to feed your office so you can game at work...

FTFY.

I'm pretty high up there but the percentage of actually helpful posts is very low. That will be fixed the more I study though.

Pfffft as if you need to post anything helpful on here to get up there

cough my stats cough

Stoked to get out of here early today and get my long weekend started.

Fishing Spider lake tomorrow - should be exceptionally beautiful! Followed by Horne lake on Sunday.

Been practising with my lockpick kit. Suffice to say I have had a shocking amount of success.

I need one of those. Frosty pint at the end of the day for free would be delightful.
