Get ready to head to the parents for dinner. And car wont start. :( Turns over but nothing. Odometer totally reset itself and now seems to stay on without key in the ignition. Noticed a little corrosion on the positive cable cleaned and jumped battery incase, but no luck. Car has juice, battery is good. I'm really hoping it's just a onetime ECU glitch that fixes itself with the battery being disconnected for a night. Or maybe try to use my Cobb Accessport to reset something.... just really dont want to spend a ton of money trying to hunt down an electrical issue...
- Sounds like your alternator went out.Hayoth
- if that was the case the battery would be dead. subies and cold and ecu 's seem to have problemsdeathboy
- ive had rough starts but never no starts in cold, actually planned time off to work on her since she has seemed rough in the steering in the colddeathboy
- thought it was a ps tube getting brittle in the cold and letting air into the system. was gonna deal with that and replace tint and windshield, fluids and getdeathboy
- get my snow tires on her... but now something new. shes getting old and i wont give up on her like medicare on a grandmadeathboy
- sounds like you're out of headlight fluidscarabin
- Your car has been hijacked and is participating in a DDOS attack on a foreign power.face_melter
- worse yet. because i pulled the battery cable. i didnt think about it not locking. last night it was broken into... stole my access port and a few bucksdeathboy
- so now im out my diagnostic tool... didn't start again, sound under juiced but they did leave my door and trunk open...deathboy
- bum cells in the battery. new battery and all is workin... just now out a $650 access port that the thief doesn't realize wont work on any other car...deathboy
- ah just realized the shit took my oil filter/injector cleaner that was in a oreilly bag. left the 5 gallon oil. go return like 15-20 bucks worth of merchdeathboy

How does one break away from negative thinking?
- -1!pinkfloyd
- By constantly changing your attention to something else. Exercise and breath deep, your brain needs more oxygen to feel good.sea_sea
- Well for a start don't focus on breaking away from negative thinking, focus on positive thinking. Not the same thing.set
- I seem to have too much free time at the office. Maybe I should make more creative stuff to change focus.pinkfloyd
- Cognitive Behaviour TherapyGnash
- set is right cannot unthink something, must think it out.HijoDMaite
- Wank less.detritus
- Or more. Depends.detritus

- Think of others instead of you.pango
- another good advicepinkfloyd
- Definitely think of other people than yourself when masturbating.detritus
- thinking of myself gets me hardpinkfloyd
- That might be a problem.detritus
- I think when you have less problem with your self you can tolerate more from other people. And start giving instead of judging.pango
- What I learned anyway.
Bottom line don't be a cunt when other genuinely not trying to be a cunt.pango - But if they are a cunt.
WAR!!!! Lol
*worst advise everpango - i'm listening to all the weed smokers for the insightspinkfloyd

Who does it reflect worse on when I receive two basic photography books meant for complete novices: my parents for not having any idea of my actual experience with photography, or me for expecting that if I suggested books about Vivian Meier and Henri Cartier-Bresson, it would be impossible to screw up?
- I remember being a dick as a kid when I got bad gift—I was told "it's the thought that counts". My response was: "well... then put some fucking thought into it"PonyBoy
- Ha!mg33
- Can't you exchange them?Hayoth
- I'd give it to other people.pango
- There is nothing lost, one day you can give those to your kids lol.
It's all your fault :)sted - They likely have no reference. They just know you love it- ppl gift what they know I guess. Take some shots in 2017 print frame and send to embklyndroobeki

- yeah, don't take it the wrong way man, I'm sure your parents thought soemething like "Oh he is a photography, this is perfect for him!" Just say thanks andMiguex

I've got a couple of prints done of my photos mounted in aluminium frames, but I've just realised I will probably not be able to hang them. The walls in my flat are brick, clad in a layer of plaster then painted over, and there's really no way for me to see if I'd be nailing into brick or masonry.
Urgh.
#firstworldproblems
- Well, cement, rather than masonry.Continuity
- borrow a drill from someone?GeorgesII
- The risk is drilling into a brick and shattering it. The plater cladding is thick enough that you don't see the texture of the wall behind it.Continuity
- *plasterContinuity
- and the ceiling?sted
- Almost four metres high. :DContinuity
- shattering a brick from drilling? what a fag
i slitted a long furrow in my brick walls to hide a cable, not one brick shattereddrgs - drgs in an old building you can easily do that. but i would try if it has a layer of plaster and painting...otherwise use some supergule.sted
- Yeah, considering the building is 140 years old, messing up the brickwork isn't high on my list of priorities.Continuity
- ure drilling a tiny holedrgs
- duct tape it somehow...
but seriously, drgs is right, drill a hole, use rawlplugsuan - These are all mounted into old brick: https://c2.staticfli… and they weigh about 75 lbs each.bjladams
- you just need to use a masonary drill bit for pilot holes then set anchorsbjladams
- http://www.unibond.c…set
- you won't shatter the brick by drilling. there's a chance you may flake some of the plaster but that is easily fixedGnash
- use a proper masonry bit, and preferably a hammer drill.Gnash
- there are ultra sticky hook on the market that can hold like 20lvbBennn
- just use concrete nails, walls in MX are all brick covered in a thin coat of plaster, I have like 30 or so pieces up in my house,moldero
- problem is if you brick isn't covered in plaster, you wont be able to patch over it latermoldero
- i've nailed into mortar between bricks to hang art before with no problems.scarabin
- Thanks chaps. The framed piece is just about a kilo and a half, two kilos max, so I doubt I'll need too heavy-duty a nail. I'll rent a drill, and crack on.Continuity
- You'll only need the drill if using anchors and screws. For concrete nails they go in just like any nail, but really you have 1-2 chances to bang them in, soETM
- you'll tap it lightly until you get to the brick then hit full force 1-2 times. After that the nail usually just starts to bend, but they'll hold quite well.ETM
- ^ nails will likely chip the plaster. if you use nails i'd pre-drill through the plaster then place the nail.Gnash
- or put a piece of masking tape on the wall and nail through that. can sometimes keep the plaster togetherGnash
- what BJ said... masonry bit and anchors... done (regardless of the age of the brick)PonyBoy
- 4m high? Do you live in a church?mugwart

- It's what's called in Germany a Rückgebäude, a building in the courtyard of a block of flats. This one is 140 years old, and I think was some sort of ...Continuity
- ... barn or similar utility structure in those days. Hence the brick walls and massively high ceilings.Continuity

I downvoted your post pink. Not that I have anything against you, just that I think it's pretty tacky to
1. announce publicly that you give to charity
2. you make it a point to say that it felt good to you.
you're doing it wrong buddy.
- This is why some of you people suck. You need to criticize anything. Wow, you really do suck.pinkfloyd
- letting friends know that you've done a good thing can often be quite positive. isn't it better than saying you just punched an old lady on the subway?Gnash
- I posted that I donated as a positive post. To inspire others to do the same. It's really sad you need to interpret someone trying to be generous that waypinkfloyd
- Plus, most people don't know my identity, so how is this posting publicly? Did I make a thread about this? Do understand the concept of a blog?pinkfloyd
- fucken idiotpinkfloyd
- Ok i see your point. Just not my style. My upvotes and downvotes are still mine to do what i want with though. Don't let it ruin your day seriously.HijoDMaite
- i don't personally care but i'm guessing what happened is it came off as a humblebrag and that you were promoting yourself more than the orgscarabin

i just read a clients seo report from SEO Doctor with changes they made, they changed a few h2's and h1's and added site meta tags keywords and meta descriptions.. then asked google to verify the site and crawl the site...

Ok Pink after some thinking I can't shake the feeling that i owe you an apology.
So you are right there is no good reason to downvote your post about charity. I could have just ignored it. since it was me and you asked who did it I fessed up. i thought I had a valid reason. Thinking about it further i think all it did was add negativity and I've read that is something you are trying to avoid.
So i will un-downvote the post. Ok?

Anyone else here about to turn 40 and can relate more with fun-loving millennials than their own generation who is now into raising kids and investments?
