Howdy, Been a while since I was active, but looking for a local recommendation. I had my stock Focus ST wheels painted 4-5 years back and they now look like absolute garbage. Tiny bits of curb rash but the paint is fucked all over all 4 wheels. Who is the best local shop to get them resprayed/repaired if needed? Or should I just say fuck it and get some cheap aftermarket wheels, which is not my preferred method.

interested in a really old Acer with VGA/DVI inputs and I think 1680x1050 resolution? text me 614 499 1112, i'm barely ever on here anymore.

*Patriots fan here, passing interest in the Browns* Honestly, I think most Browns fans are riding the hype train a little hard. Still, can't fault them after a decade of misery. Most important thing I think is that the Patriots were reportedly trying to swing a deal to trade for the Giants #2 pick if the Browns passed on Mayfield at 1, they thought he'd be the next Brady. He's got the right mechanics and brain to be a guy to build the franchise around, and the Browns already have the most important part in protecting that with a pretty solid O-line. Further, they already have what IMO is the most important thing to a young QB and that's a solid TE. Njoku was the 2nd best receiver on the team this year in basically all categories (receptions, yards, tied for 2nd in TDs), and Nick Chubb is solid enough that Mayfield won't be forced to throw for 12 yards every 3rd down. Honestly I think the Browns need to (and I think Dorsey's smart enough to) pay Mike McCarthy whatever he demands to come to Cleveland. The team needs a QB-focused coach and who better than him that's currently on the market? It's going to be a crazy HC market this year so the Browns need to be aggressive and lock up their top choice early.

It's going on the curb when I get back from a business trip. I'll tell you which curb for $10.

Variety there is excellent but the pricing isn't worth the trip.

an FCA employee I knew used to say "We make the best looking bullshit on the road"

Someone come get this for $20.

Looking to clear space in my garage. Old PC desk, not especially beautiful but sturdy and pretty light for its size. 60" L x 31" H x 24" W Located in Grandview.

But with the economy being the best it's ever been I'm sure those folks will have no problem finding good jobs and maintaining stability. After all, they've surely been squirreling away the extra money from their paychecks from the recent tax cuts. Really they should be thanking GM for freeing them from the shackles of factory wage slavery.

You're right, they must be biased since the founder of the Lucy Burns Institute, Leslie Graves has been working with Libertarians since the 1980s. She married the man who was national director of the Libertarian Party in 1980, who has basically spent the last 30 years working to impose term limits on career politicians. They definitely have a clear political bias, just not the one you imagined based on the name alone of their institute. EDIT: Thought better of starting a political argument here.

Fortin Ironworks?

Any kayakers on here? I've always been a canoe guy, don't know the first thing about kayaks. My lady wants one for Christmas. She's a beginner when it comes to kayaking but relatively experienced on the water in general, as in she knows sailing basics, can use a SUP, etc. This would mostly be for joining friends on lakes in Burr Oak/Hocking Hills, cabrewing, and probably paddling around a protected cove on Lake Erie where her folks have a house. Basic research and talking to her friends points me toward something like a Sundolphin Aruba 10. That's about the budget I'm looking for and seems to tackle her needs pretty well. Would love some feedback or for someone to steer me elsewhere if there's a better option at that price range. Also, where's the best place to buy? Is it Amazon like everything else, or are there brick and mortars that will have better deals?

While a targeted attack may not be likely, it's enough of a reason for me to never use a system like that in my home: https://www.cepro.com/article/home_automation_systems_easily_hacked_via_power_lines/ For light timers/automation I would probably not worry too much, but I wouldn't hook up anything related to access control (garage doors) or video/audio recording.

Currently have 100MB service thru Spectrum in a semi-congested area but I seem to get good results on speedtest.net even during peak hours. We have Hulu live TV and are big fans. No buffering/stuttering/drops at all. Ping when I play rocket league is usually 40ms when not streaming, anywhere from 60-120 when streaming. This is based on about a 1 month sample.

If anyone thinks that simply stopping the use of alcohol is the solution to alcoholism, Delirium Tremens would like a word: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delirium_tremens TL;DR if an alcoholic goes cold turkey off the booze, they can die. That doesn't happen with nicotine, cocaine, THC, and most other drugs of abuse. "disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms or that affects a specific location and is not simply a direct result of physical injury." Mental diseases are a lot harder to define. Addiction is a mental disease and often is accompanied by other mental illness. "Addiction is a disorder of function in a human brain which produces specific signs/symptoms such as alcohol or drug abuse."

yes it did, you just don't know it. there's an opportunity cost to everything. the time you spent drinking too much was time you could've spent not drinking so much and doing something else. I'm not saying you're an alcoholic, I'm just trying to show you that you're thinking solely from your own point of view. This is the misunderstanding; you can choose a life of sobriety and still be an alcoholic. That is the point. A child who is born addicted to heroin did not have a choice. That child's body chemistry is always going to have a basis in drug abuse. People who are introduced to drugs and alcohol before their body is fully developed, especially as young teens, are proven to have long term physiological differences from people who didn't have that experience. Their decision making is informed by the environment in which they're raised; if they're not raised to understand that alcohol and drug abuse has harmful long term effects they are not going to understand that the choice they make is going to have consequences. They just think that's normal. This absurd notion that alcoholism is a choice comes from a complete lack of ability to see outside one's own experience. "I was able to stop drinking, therefore everyone should be able to stop drinking." You may have had challenges in your life that would make others crumble, but who are you to judge anyone else's struggle, just as no one else has the right to judge yours. I wish you the best in your battle with cancer. We all have our own fights on the road toward death but it's not helpful to denigrate others for facing a different type of demon just because we don't understand it or didn't have a hard time facing it in our own journey.

So literally the only thing that got you to stop drinking way too much was the prospect of immediate death; not the affect it had on your relationships, not the affect it had on your family, not the other, less-than-immediately-lethal health effects such as deterioration of mental functions? All of those things weren't enough for you to stop, but "I WILL DIE" did. Do you understand that the medical professionals whose work is currently keeping you alive are largely in agreement that alcoholism and drug abuse are diseases? Do you find it odd that you're willing to accept their advice that keeps you alive but aren't willing to accept their medically informed opinion that may save others and their families from the same fate you hope to shield your family from; the loss of their father/husband/brother/etc? How about this, how about we treat your disease with the same callousness that you treat alcoholism and drug abuse? Because you, as a diseased person, are inherently a burden on society. Your disease doesn't get better? I mean, I get a cold and it fixes itself with a little Dayquil and rest, why doesn't your disease just go away like mine? Shit, all those silly scientists working on cures for cancer and AIDS and Alzheimer's and whatever your disease is should probably just refocus their efforts on making the strongest of us stronger. Diseased people should just understand their place in society, peacefully wait for death, and definitely not breed and risk passing on their obvious genetic deficiencies on to future generations. It's your CHOICE to continue to take resources for you and your family, when other people with better genetics should be given more resources so future generations are better able to succeed. Yeah, pretty fucking ridiculous assessment when it's about you, right? Eugenics are bullshit but claiming alcoholics and drug abusers have simply chosen that path in life is just as insane. You're also massively misunderstanding the argument about why treating it as a disease is important. It's not about divesting people of responsibility for their actions, it's about how best to treat the crisis facing us. It's been proven in many countries that treating drug abuse as a public health issue rather than a criminal issue leads to reduced incarceration rates, better individual health, and better societal welfare overall.

My best friend played football through high school and college. Before he was legally able to make his own medical decisions, he was prescribed percocet for persistent spine issues (much like how before I was old enough to make my own legal medical decisions, I was prescribed Vioxx to help with rotator cuff issues). Doctors told his parents it was safe and non-addictive. When he got to college his coaches told him he needed to put on weight to become an OL instead of a LB. He wanted to succeed and play at the highest level, but his body kept giving out on him. They crammed him full of more percocet. His football friends and coaches surrounded him with the culture that you play through the pain and if the pain becomes too much, here's a magic pill that'll help get your football career on track. His reliance on pills was, in most ways, his choice, but all our choices are informed by those we know and trust; parents, friends, doctors, coaches, all the trusted people in his life basically. By the time heroin came into the picture for him, he'd been addicted to these allegedly non-addictive pills for 5 years, and was continuing to have them prescribed to him. His body couldn't survive without it. His detox, which he committed himself to, lasted a week. He had to throw out the shoes he wore there because the garbage that came out of his body made them smell so bad. He's not touched the junk for a long time, but addiction IS a disease. It's something he'll always have in the back of his mind. "I never want to do H again, but I can't describe to you what an amazing thing it is to actually be on it. All the pain I'd lived with for years went away. It's very difficult to walk away from that and continue living with the pain." I'm happy that you've had a life that allows you the comfort of your opinion. Please be respectful enough of other people's different experiences and realize that not everyone has been so fortunate as you.

I've never thought about the aesthetics of a work bench. This question is short circuiting my brain. My thought process on a workbench: 1) Is it sturdy? If yes, continue to 2. If no, replace. 2) Is it big enough? If yes, continue to 3. If no, create plan to replace and continue to 3. 3) Get to work. I'd cover it with a rubber mat or that flex seal stuff.

Talk to a dog trainer about harness vs collar. The trainer we use, Craig Richardson of Richardson K9 (retired Marine, all around great guy in Baltimore OH) insists on collars for training, he's adamant that harnesses develop more bad habits.

I've been out of the IT world for a little while but docking stations were a frequent issue; they were on backorder for months, and theres a billion different flavors of each laptop and dock, some of which would have X but not Y feature. This is why I offered some consultancy. Make sure whatever dock setup supports docked charging via USB-C or Thunderbolt connections, and make sure it has enough of the right ports/cables. For instance, I have a Surface Pro with the Microsoft dock, which has 2x miniDP out, so I had to get 1 MiniDP to DVI and 1 MiniDP to DP+ connector for the monitors I have (1 29" ultrawide 2560x1080 and 1 older 24" 1920x1080). I love the rotating monitors, I also saw a lot of our legal clients use them. Do you know what line of business applications she uses for case/client management/billing? Some ultra high-res devices have issues with some proprietary software or RDP services.

It all depends on how the firm's network is setup, but in my experience Chromebooks weren't great for compliance-sensitive environments.

Yep. Especially the part about not leaving documents in Google Drive. Unless the firm's signed a BAA with G Suite for those documents, they and/or your wife could be deemed negligent if there were an issue with data retention. Any law firm worth working for will have a data retention policy that she can easily find. Clay, feel free to give me a buzz. Until this year I worked for an IT company that had over 300 law firms as clients. Kerry is right that the first step would be to talk to whoever the firm's IT liaison and see what SOP is. Beyond that, Dell Latitudes and HP Elitebooks are good laptops. I've found that attorneys tend to love 2-in-1 or convertible laptops such as the Surface Pro or Dell XPS 2-in-1s. The ability to use an e-pen for OneNote without having to type is especially coveted since those OneNotes can be shared with admin staff remotely. I had one attorney take the plunge with an HP Elitebook x360 and loved it so much he stopped buying desktops for any of his staff attorneys and bought them all similar devices because it completely changed the way he worked. I'd be happy to do a little free consulting to see how she works and what might fit her needs.
