oo nice

fpga miners?

ASIC. they're in the secondary market- picked up a gigahash for $160 on the fleabay. everyone who bought them for 3BTC realized they're never going to see ROI so there's a flood.

still waiting on my 7GHash from BFL, but thankfully their shipping is finally starting to accelerate.

why u no take the e30?


and ya steadyaim that flap is way more race than a street car. i really prefer the other flap you have.

I haven't heard a whole lot of good things about this setup. Its stupidly expensive as well. The selector rod was very clean, nothing to scrub off.

I bought one for my mtech2. and yes i have installed a lot of other stuff for people. but still hands down the UUC is by far the best.

AKG's is made well, but rolls left and right from 1st to 3rd. and had just the oddest feel.
the Z3 shifter plus the garagistic bushings is about a 9/10 and 1/3 the cost. but hey it's an M3 it's already worth 20k, what $300 more?
but the last option the one i will do on my blue car is, UUC DSSR + Z3 + garagistic bushings, and new selector parts. it's about $200, has a great OEM feel and shifts just as tight. i believe Bernz did that setup.

I love my UUC EVO3 first generation shift kit. It came out of Davelength's mtech vert(reference for the OGs). Never felt another setup that compares.

I plan to get the new UUC kit when I swap over to ZF tranny.

[rob&e30]

:( I suppose it's time to switch flaps

lol my ninja!

[mbonanni]

Anyone know of a professional fill and drill place here in Sac?

I don't want no crappy "looks-like-a-3rd-grader-filled-it-in-with-play-dough-and-macaroni" drilled

I'm talking like "completely filled in, flush, and looking like it came 4-lug STOCK" drilled



Or of anyone selling F+D'd e38 Weaves?

Memory fab can do whatever you want. they cost $$$ though.

$400 for just the third grader fill and drill.

[JinormusJ]

Weak

For that price, I'd rather take em out to Nigel (Einstein) in SoCal an he can do the professional stock looking F+D for $300

Might just do that instead, but need dat cheddar doh

Ugh...


Working in fast food right now.
- Get crapped on and yelled at daily
- No respect
- No benefits
- Crappy super early/graveyard/2-4 hour shifts
- Everyone's an idiot, and the only people who aren't (management) don't even have degrees/a lick of real education
- Making no difference in the world


Volunteering in the hospital right now on Saturdays as an ER Assistant
- Get encouraged and instructed well on what to do and what I am expected to do
- Most people are generally respectful and courteous
- If full time; would get loads of benefits
- 12 hour shifts with 4 hour overtime and night differential (Did I mention pay is almost triple for an entry position not counting overtime/nights?)
- Everyone is educated
- I use skills to assist those who are making a difference in the lives of people


It's like I'm right there to a job that actually means something to the world, not just some joeshmo minimum wage "all-you-need-to-qualify-is-a-pulse" job. Plus, I get the satisfaction of knowing that when I work, I'm contributing to improving America's slowly degrading health, and not contributing to the oozing obesity and the new American way.

Old timer by the age of 87 flatlined while I was taking his vitals on Saturday; looked him straight in the eye as he was going under before the doctor and 3 nurses brushed me aside. Compressions lasted for about 15 minutes before the doc pronounced him dead. In that moment, even though he didn't make it, I realized that in that 15 minutes I have felt more rewarded for my humanity and service than I have working these passed 6 months, or ever will be for that matter serving the inconsiderate, rude, obnoxious middle-aged America.

So glad I can finally apply for an EMT/ER Tech position.

God I love people.

SCREW FAST FOOD

ive thought about going emt/er tech, saving a life is very rewarding... but dont look at as a feel good, my humanity is restored way, its a job, very difficult one at that, you will have your low dAys and great days, just never let work get to you. i dont know the point i was trying to make so ..yea...


but fuk fast food, im in the airforce right now, and considered going PJ or coast guard rescue swimmer... but being 5'4 weighing about 130 on a good day at 21 fukin sucks, granted i can max out at maybe 145-155 if i was pure muscle, but its alot harder to try out for special operations jobs when you are naturally a small guy, when i reach about 145 im going to try out for SF

fml shit genes

Fast food may be [seriously] degrading but at least you are off your ass and paying taxes. Imagine if the millions on welfare did the same...

[e30vert]

Wow. Talk about 2 different ends of the spectrum. By day you help grill em and kill em and by weekend you revive and resuscitate.

There is a reason that fast food jobs have a high turn over and you are experiencing it first hand. Expecting more from a job that many Americans see as menial and trivial (Fast Food service) is pointless UNLESS you are one of the rare few that can find pleasure in everyday torture.

Please do not become one of those unfit obese Medical Professionals that lumbers by and one wonders - "Why the heck should I feel that my health is important to this care provider when they can obviously not take care of their own first". Walk the walk!

This is my biggest struggle right now; while I am not obese, I wouldn't exactly say I'm fit either. I've struggled with weight loss/gain for the better part of 4 years after Wrestling in High School, and it's finally caught up to me this passed year with all the stress from the move from SoCal to NorCal, school, family, job, etc.

Saturday was an intense day though; I haven't really been the same since, especially since it was my 21st the day before (I didn't booze it up, not really crazy about getting drunk), and I'm "officially" a full fledged American with no restrictions.

I am now making decisions to be healthier on the fly like a snap; comparable to making decisions by not caring, drinking soda 24/7, and eating whatever literally 2 weeks prior. I mean.. If I know how people's idiotic decisions are affecting them, why am I making the same stupid decisions? I've been repeating the phrase "I know better than that" to myself constantly over the passed few days.
