We finished the basic structure, but the stairs around the corner need a bit of support added. I don't think there will be a fire hazard. The wood burning stove is used about 3 times a year and there is quite a bit of clearance.

It's at a lakehouse. No permits were acquired. Would anyone actually bother getting a permit to build a staircase?

Impressive use of space.
Any girl that's more interested in my wang because of any car I might own is not worth my time having a serious relationship with. I hope your lady friends and stripper work out for you in that regard.
That had to have been a bizarre sight to see in the neighborhood. I would have been worried it might kick up tons of dust in the process of drying.
Kicking up dust wouldn't worry me as much as sand or the like being sucked in and launched at the car. My technique was always a fast lap around the block; the leaf blower sounds more legal.
I suspect that a shop vac in reverse would be able to use the filter to prevent particulates from hitting the car, just wash your driveway first to avoid Handruin's dust problem.

I think the simplest solution would be to build a high-speed wind tunnel in the garage, and a turntable for the car to make sure all angles are covered.

Put a single layer of a baby diaper over the air intake.

:erm: Sand and dirt particles that are just hovering in the air several feet off the ground waiting to be sucked in and blown at the car? That seems quite unlikely to me.

That or just don't wash the car. I'm not quite sure which is easier though.

I just read that folks in Queensland and Victoria states in Australia aren't allowed to swear in public!?! Are you fucking kidding me? Are Aussies now just as stuck as British? So now we'll have to call people from Melbourne the "polite Mexicans" or what? Forbidding an Aussie from swearing is like removing a part of his identity. Right of swearing should be one of your main birthrights. This is wrong.

Unfortunately that's correct. However I don't know of anyone personally fined for such an act.
I guess it could would only be enforced in the case of a public disturbance, and not common talk down at the local watering hole.
PS. Consumption of alcohol in public or on government property is also illegal here as well... (AU$100 on the spot fine) Yep, that's right, having a glass of wine with your picnic lunch is also illegal if done at the local park, national park or at the beach :frowner: Source: http://www.olgr.qld.gov.au/consumers/alcoholInpublic/index.shtml

I hereby announce my support for re-titling SF's "Hairy Aussies" as "Hairy Polite Mexicans."
I don't get this, can anyone understand our "data retention" policy? Email that doesn't require followup, delete after 30 days old and email that did require ack or followup is delete after 1 year. That's what they are telling us to do, I have no idea what they are doing on the back end, if they are doing something. This is a pretty big company and I would think they are aware of business ediscovery and mail retention requirements so they are likely doing something at the email server level, my question is why tell me I can't keep it?

If the company keeps it, then they have to manage its retention and make it available on request for legal matters. If they say "It's our policy to delete email", then they don't have to deal with the expense and probable damage associated with discovery of pertinent information contained therein.
Yup. The cheapest thing you can do is delete everything as quickly as possible. That way when you are asked you can just say you don't have it. Some ISPs used to have this as a selling point, but there are many laws in many countries requiring they keep logs.

Where are we with this "Hairy Polite Mexican" issue?
Chewy509
Wotty wot wot.
Wouldn't that be insulting to the real Mexicans... you know, those that live just south of the US of A?

Wotty wot wot.
Couldn't we change it to: Not so permanent?
Oh sure, now that you are a Fixture.
At one point I thought I would achieve that, but not so much now.

This is one of those weeks when absolutely nothing is going to happen at work. If a national holiday falls on a Wednesday, they might as well call the whole week off. I have three classes scheduled this week and at the moment only one person has told me that they are coming to each of them.
Many people are on PTO this week, but the rest of the world isn't slowing down and timelines always need to be met. Most of the usual teleconferences have been shifted to Tues or Thurs.

You think you're gonna die before you can make another thousand posts or so? You do more than this each year. If you're sick to the point that you believe you won't live another year, what the Hell are you doing still working?
Not really, but my interest is waning. Maybe I'll post about my recent computer problems. :crap:

To be honest, computer stuff is kind of boring right now. Hardware is at this ridiculous science fiction point where even the cheap stuff is generally pretty awesome, and the high end is simultaneously vast overkill and and legitimately affordable. We're really just left to be annoyed about software.

I also try very hard not to post anything even remotely controversial for the same reasons. Those people terrify me.
My computers are screwed up, usually hardenware, drivers or something not compatible. My mainboard should be exterminated.

I made the mistake of driving to a burb of Chicago today. What's with all the crappy toll roads that are under construction with a 45MPH construction speed limit (55MPH speed limit regularly). I spent $6 on tolls. :cursin:
The only plus about this trip is going to be stopping at a few firework stores on the way back to MI tomorrow afternoon. Although the good fireworks are now legal to sell in MI now, so even that's watered down.
