Yeah, I don't do any additives, and that's on my 350,000+ mile vehicles. We use Mobil 1 in my daughter's Audi, and I use Valvoline MaxLife (just the blend in my Jeeps, but full synthetic in my old BMW). Fram Tough Guard oil filters for the Jeeps, and Mann filters for the Audi.

Pictures!

Assuming I'm looking at the right model, those do seem to be big-ass blocks of metal coming out of the inverter, which can be removed from the body with a couple philips screws, so maybe it can be as simple as pulling the blocks out and welding your own connector points onto them.

I did! It took some work, but one day I had the front end out for something else - replacing the radiator, I guess - and it seemed stupid to waste the opportunity. It was dead simple to install, and it looks very tidy, and is grounded and powered pretty well. Unfortunately, the cheap-ass relays they...

Good god damn. I am really just extremely rough on audio equipment. Almost burned an amp for the fifth time. [I've killed two home amps now, blew a car amp, and nearly burned the Cherokee to the ground with my subwoofer amp; two of those were with the same song (Chemical Brothers - Piku).] A week or...

I'm in a similar situation. In my case, I know some of it comes from mental health: I latch onto a thing while it gives me happiness, but once the novelty wears off, it's just another thing, so I move on. I'm trying to fix the root of that problem, so I can go back to enjoying the shit I love. The b...

We went ahead and pulled the trigger on an Audi for our family's stable. The much-beloved 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix my daughter had been driving was starting to ride a little strangely, and on inspection of the rear suspension - which mechanics had been in just weeks earlier, so thanks for not looking...

I'm still alive and still in Chicago! Still beating the hell out of people, or are you old enough now that you hurt even when you're not getting punched? [I've discovered recently that my chronic rotator cuff pain is likely due to how I sleep, which has to be the lamest "injury" I've ever...

Nonfiction. I had Sex and the Cthulhu Mythos published in September, and in January the The Collected Letters of Robert E. Howard Index and Addenda . That's awesome! How long have you been working on Sex and the Cthulhu Mythos? Even for someone with your encyclopedic knowledge of the author and his...

Jesus shit. My daughter's been borrowing one of my parents' cars that they don't really need, and during some of our worse weather a few weeks ago, my daughter caught one of the rear wheels in some centerline slush, and it snap-oversteered and put her backward into a ditch. No damage to her, and onl...

Awesome! I'm not sure I was aware you'd had a first book published. RPG-oriented, or prose-fiction? [Or non-, for that matter?]

So, the hub I work in, Charlotte, right? It may just have been the best hub it's size in the country last year. That's pretty nice. I feel like, you know, kinda pretty good at my job. That's new for me. It's funny how even a job you don't care about for its own sake can be a source of pride. I work...

There comes a point when your life ends up being consumed by your career, and I'm not all that wild about that part.

We've really gotten off our marks as far as preparedness goes. We don't have kits in the cars, don't have a bug-out bag anymore, don't have water storage, nothing. It's hard to plan for what might happen when you can't afford what's actually happening; still, if something goes wrong, this just means...

I'm posting an expanded version of one of my private responses to Joseph, appropos of some recent law enforcement media attention, as a spur to further exploration of the issue. I keep reading these statistics: "Wisconsin incarcerates a higher percentage of its black men than any other state.&...

Pretty major font overhaul, with the intent of modernizing font selection and increasing sizes of certain elements for mobile and high-definition screens. We'll see whether a user revolt is the result.

3278

Wrote a nice little @media setup to give different versions to browsers, but all of the browsers I tried seemed to be using a very different viewport than the one their resolution would suggest. Used (orientation: portrait), but it didn't really make a difference: mobile screens still render the pag...

3278

Fixed the header transparency, so it should be "good enough" for the moment, although I'd still like to use @media to resize the header elements for portrait-orientation mobile.

3278

Okay, now try it. Going to try writing some responsive CSS that'll collapse the right header links below the left header image, in what I like to call my "spare time."

3278

Oh, poop. Well, that broke something else - visibility when scrolling - so I'll have to fix that.

3278

Hey, is this fixed now? I'm getting the correct rendering on Chrome for Android, but I don't have an iDevice to test this on. What're you seeing now?

3278

So, what are you all up to these days? I haven't really been keeping up, but I often wonder how and what all of you are doing. For my part, in short: I'm working full-time as an accountant for a company that makes the liquid that goes in high-end e-cigarettes, as well as part-time for my old job acc...

This is a major consideration for us, as well. Though we've never lost power for more than a few minutes at our current house, we have anywhere from 15-20 non-human animals living in the house at any given time, many of them sick or injured or otherwise fragile rescue animals, and we have no firepla...

Mostly because my daughter isn't into mixtures of flavors, we've started - okay, like, ten years ago, but we're really getting good at it now! - eating ingredients, rather than meals. It's a strange way of cooking, but very simple, very easy, very nutritious, and surprisingly delicious [although it ...

It's really interesting how different companies deal with these situations. The company I work for bends over backward to depend on customer service, because the owner of the company believes - get this! - that if we provide inferior service, some other company will end up with our business! I know,...

In addition to my YouTube channel, I now have a Soundcloud as well, with the same content in a slightly more digestible format. It's wildly unpopular.

3278

Yeah, economic sanctions basically never work. They don't hurt the decision-makers, so they're not really a good disincentive. They also build a healthy black market, which isn't really what you want happening. In this situation, I think the UN needs to take bold and immediate action to prove what's...

There's no doubt they're a threat to nearby nations with ties to Russia - former Soviet states, countries with sympathetic leaders or ethnically Soviet populations - but it seems to me like the only way this becomes a threat to the international community is if the international community is stupid ...

Going to try pulling the fade.js script that makes text links fade from blue to white slowly, on the main and [inverted] themes. [stripped] will stay as-is: if "lightweight, no-frills" is the name of the game, may as well leave it abrupt. I'll be replacing the fade.js with the CSS that's d...

Most of you will have seen this on social media anyway, but I wanted to make sure to tell you all specifically: after 17 years of making music mostly in private, I've started releasing some of my unfinished tracks.

As it turned out, Veit [the dwarven fighter] didn't take Leadership, but Thamior [the elven ranger] and I [Morganstern, the human cleric] did, so now we have: Eric A young boy Thamior rescued from a burning house, in training to be a Ranger Shadow A giant wolf Eric and Thamior rescued from a pack of...

3278

So we'll have a party of 3, plus 3 cohorts? Damn! Of course, with Veit's charisma, it might take a couple levels before he can attract a cohort at all... :D I think I get followers in a level or two, so yeah, a little army we'll have! Followers are such puss-bitches that they're almost liabilities, ...

Morganstern - a Neutral-Good cleric of the God of War and Healing - is really coming into his own now. Whereas he started as a sort of failed priest - too action-thirsty to really make a good member of the temple, and thus sort of sent out in exasperation as a Cleric-Errant - he's become more than a...

The lesson being: Joseph is a success, and we are very much not.

I like a lot of the general talk I'm reading on the blog, but some of the specifics don't impress much. I'd love to playtest this, but my experience with playtesting hasn't been all that great.

3278

Definitely worth keeping an eye on the blog , but yeah, I'm dubious. I guess, ultimately, it's going to depend on the skill of the developers...and I may be too wedded to the work of the first edition developers to make a useful transition. There's also my long-held belief that I prefer the kind of ...

I'm trying to remember the last time I even operated a car with less than 95,000 miles on it...

3278

Yeah, I think that's exactly it. The same kind of thing happens in the corporate world: you work in big corporations and you see how they're busted, but yet you still pursue the same big-business lifestyle that experience has taught you to embrace. Very interesting observation.

Tried a little Almost Human. It's sort of "police-procedural meets cyberpunk-lite." It's not bad, and I suspect when I was 12, I'd have worshiped it, but I'd like to see the cyberpunk get a little heavier. Also a little tired of sci fi series in which we have the technology to built self-a...

Turns out I went IPS after all. My monitor landscape has been pretty bleak recently: all my 21" flatscreen CRTs were dead, my good 17" flatscreen CRT was dead, and I'd been relegated to a 5:4 TN 19" LCD. The latter was actually pretty decent, but my daughter needed a monitor and I was...

I believe it's a Dwarven fighter who specializes in the Urgosh, and an Elven Ranger taking the bow path. For a campaign heavy in undead and evil, we should be a pretty cool party!

And here's my character so far for Paul's new D&D campaign. He's a rogue, a traveling "hero" who really just goes from place to place, killing monsters and taking their stuff. He's an expert at talking his way out of things, hiding, and taking things, smart but not wise, likeable but n...
