Attention Everyone.

[Danny]

If you'd like a semi-educated opinion on something British, let me know. I won't be held accountable for any purchases and subsequent fits of rage related to my responses, however. ;)

Okay I promise not to sue you if I ask about British cars.

Last semester of my senior year. I have a bunch of papers to write.

Almost there though!

lunch break. my phone will not charge so ill have to go get it checked out today after work. Then ill prob drop the sub-frame again to install the washers i had to open up.

I need to go on lunch myself soon.

You sold your wheels to a guy named RUFFLZ? Were you drunk?

No but I think he was.

Moi aussi. I also get them intermittently if I wear hats for too long, wear a necklace (not an issue), have long hair, don't eat for long period of time or don't get enough sleep. There are other triggers as well. It can get really annoying.

It's been a lot better in recent years though, I only get them three times a month or so and a combination of Treximet or (for the budget conscious) Naproxen and Sumatriptan will get rid of them (Treximet is essentially Naproxen and Sumatriptan mixed iirc). According to my 5 minute google browse of Midrin it might be more effective than Treximet for migraines, so hopefully that works.

Thanks Doc! I appreciate you lending your experiences. Do you ever get triggered by working in poorly light spaces?

Anybody ever had Aural Migraines?

...been having them for about a year now...f'ing annoying.

I hear ya.

:rofl:

ideally, a live/work kinda space, not more than a mile from a BART station, somewhere between Berkeley and Hayward.

new gig is in SF right near 3com park, driving there is just not a fun or appropriate use of this car.

i've gotten eye migraines a couple times. they look sorta like an acid flashback. happens when i spend too much time staring at computer screens. (unfortunately that's kinda my job.)

made a good impression today. bloody exhausted now. taking a breather for a few mins before the gf gets home and wants to start packing shit. maybe i should make coffee.

That sounds doable. What does the gf do? Does she live with you as well?

Are polyurethane bump stops actually a thing that exist? I've been looking for them because my foam ones are over 1" long (already slightly trimmed down) and I want something shorter and stiffer.

Just cut the foam ones.

Here you go Vivek...

They're going to be hard as heck though.

True.

yo Danny. i'm helping my aunt move to Petaluma at the end of the month and i know i'm not going to want to go back to Pennsylvania once I've been out there.


how's the job market in that area?

What sort of area of work?

Yes. A lot of mine are eyesight triggered. I wear contacts so if there's something wrong with a contact or if I lose one or something it's pretty much an instant migraine. Also working/reading in low lit rooms can do it more gradually for me. Sometimes fluorescent lights can do it too.

Really when I list all the triggers out I sound like a huge puss.

Man, migraines will make anyone look like a huge puss.

I haven't been here for a while...but I see that Banny is back.....oh, shit!

[phreshkid]

One day, I hope that I can cause a ruckus large enough for Banny to ban me. But until that day, I will continue do nothing and rarely contribute to the information-rich well-being of this forum.

Danny, mostly in the architecture/design/construction industry. i know that's kinda vague. i'm kinda vague.

Who heard the new Vampire weekend song of their new album which is coming out in may?

LMFAO shouts out to Alameda aka my hometown aka most random fucking shout out ever in a song

[ELVA164]

^Shopped.

[evandael]

vampire weekend is the funniest band. i can't decide if they are serious with some of their lyrics. i like the neo-baroque punk pop sound though.

What's the shortest bump stop you can run before the strut piston hits the bottom of the insert? I don't wanna cut my foam ones too short and end up destroying the damper, and I was wondering how short I can get the poly ones, since they won't really compress. Sorry for being too poor to afford either camber plates or shortened struts :(.

Keep up the good work.

I don't know anyone in that industry. Sorry bruddah. My BIL is an electrician though and he has consistent work so...

Cut the foam in half. You'll be fine. Maybe.

That sounds doable. What does the gf do? Does she live with you as well?

she's huge into beauty/cosmetics; i put her through school for it last year. afterwards, i was a little disappointed that she stayed working at her retail job @ Lush Cosmetics (cool business, like their stuff, but she could be -using- that cert she earned...)

i've started an internet sideproject this year and am hoping i'll inspire her to think like an entrepreneur rather than an employee also. i think it worked; she picked up a bunch of raw materials with the idea of starting her own boutique makeup line to sell.

there's a Lush store about a 10min walk from our new place in Emeryville, but she doesn't really want to work there (their corporate infrastructure is odd; no inter-store transfers, she'd have to apply @ the new location), so i'm giving her a week of rest after our move this weekend and will start pushing her to either grab the next rung up the ladder (as i have), start producing something of her own (same), or preferably both.
