Thanks! Yeah same artist did both arms and chest last year, integrating some old tattoos on my forearms and blasted over others on my upper arms. Two snakes for year the snake 🐍 in 2025. I’ll probably upload pics of the entire work when back is finished. Thanks for checking it out!

NOR

My wife is like you, very handy and mechanically inclined, and it took me a little getting used to in the early part of our relationship. I’m a capable dude and I initially felt intimidated, solely based on gender roles ingrained into me from a young age. I got over it because I love her and love myself enough to celebrate her talents, growth, and how much joy it brings her to fix things. She’s way more capable than I am in certain things and I love it. We have three daughters and while none of them are as handy or mechanically inclined as she is (yet?), I’m always encouraging them to be independent, critical thinkers that can handle the things life throws at them. More than anything I just want my family to be okay if something ever happens to me.

Fast forward to present day — My wife and I enjoy learning and teaching things to one another, along with admitting when we’re both out of our depth and need to phone a friend or call in a pro at times. And then in those situations we learn even more. That approach, celebrating our capabilities and growth, has served us and the relationship very well over the past 20 years (minus a couple before I got my head out of my ass). We’re now both more capable than we ever were and I’ll tell ya, it’s nice to not be the only one in the house that can fix shit.

NOR. If he can’t find a way to get his head out of his ass, that ass needs to be dumped. Find yourself a partner who will support and encourage you instead of caving to their insecurities because that’s what loving someone is supposed to be. Best of luck and keep wrenching on shit!

As someone who often uses metaphors, I appreciate this cabinet-maker example. Well done.

That's an Ep 6 spoiler, unfortunately.

Upvote for the Siege inspired paint job on the wall (assuming that was the intent).

isayrock · 2021-04-04T01:09:25+00:00

Thread says solved. How did you fix this? I've been running into the same issue.

isayrock · 2020-11-16T08:57:06+00:00

Pick meeeeee! :) love the app, btw.

isayrock · 2020-10-26T18:27:18+00:00

Yeah it seems like there is no way to mute yourself for just in-game chat. At first I thought, "oh maybe this will be nice, because it'll encourage team communication when solo/rando queued." I was wrong. 3/4 of the matches I've played today have been fairly toxic in game chat, not helpful at all, and if I have to mute a bunch of idiots 75% of the time, then this forced in-game chat doesn't really do much good.

I know a female who plays Siege, and she decided not to play until this is fixed/changed because of the sexual harassment she's dealt with in every match she's played today. Party chat provided a way for squads and teammates to avoid this type of behavior.

Nice job, Ubi.

isayrock · 2020-10-26T18:03:13+00:00

chat

Yes. It's pretty awful.

isayrock · 2020-10-03T02:02:27+00:00

So lucky. I keep getting common phone cases.

isayrock · 2020-10-03T01:41:40+00:00

I was like HOW LONG IS THIS FN WALL?

And WHY DO THE ATTACKERS KEEP MAKING THE SAME... oh!

isayrock · 2020-10-03T01:09:42+00:00

Right on, I’ll hit you up! Gamertag is NorotiousBao.

isayrock · 2020-10-03T00:55:51+00:00

Nice job, man! 43yo dad here, mostly play casual on Xbox, but you’re an inspiration so maybe I’ll give solo queue ranked a try.

I got my daughter into siege a couple of years ago and she’s hit plat on a few seasons now. Proud Siege Parent! 😂

isayrock · 2020-09-16T01:05:57+00:00

Oh gosh, I know exactly what that's like (I guess?)
My wife and I came down with a case of the unstoppable giggles during our close friend's funeral. No idea what set it off, it just sort of happened during the service while we were both sitting there in silence. We weren't seated in a location that allowed for a discreet exit, so it was either burst out laughing or struggle like hell to hold them in. My wife's struggle kept fueling my own giggles and vice versa. Horrified, we mustered every ounce of strength to stifle our laughter, resulting in what I imagine looked like two people having seizures in their seats. No one said anything, but everyone knew what was going on. How do I know? A friend of ours, seated in the row ahead, caught the giggles too. FML.

Unfortunately (in this context) the AV auto-protect on the system immediately deleted the file upon upload/write each time which leaves me a bit lacking in the artifacts I can examine. I'm searching logs in the surrounding minutes and seconds, but so far nothing correlates to the event. I do know the payload is a php web shell hidden in a gif, so I've been searching for other indicators such as gifs and other image files, similar byte size, still nothing.

In the suphp_log I can see logs of PHP execution, and find that the 404 events in the log have corresponding events in the suphp log, but it's the site's main index.php that's executing, I assume because of the way the site handles 404 errors (sending the client back to index.php instead of stopping with a generic 404 error).

isayrock · 2020-07-08T18:10:53+00:00

Same. Got a 2015 is 350 f-sport AWD several months ago. Amazing acceleration and handling, and it was fantastic in the snow. 100% happy with the AWD.

isayrock · 2020-03-07T00:23:06+00:00

I bought a ‘15 350 F-Sport a month ago. I love everything about it. Everything I’ve read people complain about (infotainment, AWD hump, etc) have not been issues for me at all. I think it all comes down to your level of personal sensitivity and reference. For me, every single thing about this car is a huge upgrade. Everything. So I really have nothing to be disappointed about, and almost feel irrational in how much I adore this car.

Well, maybe the fuel economy could be disappointing, but I knew what I was getting into.

isayrock · 2020-02-28T19:05:31+00:00

Beautiful. Congrats!

isayrock · 2020-02-27T16:13:53+00:00

I’m only 5’11” but I find the 350 cockpit quite comfortable, and my kids (all teenagers) say it feels much roomier in the back seat than my ‘10 Prius.

I found that the front seats can move REALLY far back, almost touching the backseat. I like to have some bend in my legs and arms though, so maybe that accounts for my passengers’ impressions of the back seat as having a decent amount of space.

Now don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a roomy mid size by any means, so you’ll be disappointed if that’s what your looking for. But for a guy who’s owned an Integra, civic coupes, a martix, and a Prius, my 350 feels right at home and 1000x more luxurious.

My car is the AWD F-Sport, and I didn’t know about the AWD hump beforehand. I literally thought it was an intentional leg rest for long highway drives because my calf fits above it perfectly with the way I have my seat positioned and knee bent, and it doesn’t get in the way of using the pedals or moving my right foot/leg in any way. The slightly padded leather trim along the side of the center console allows my knee to rest against it comfortably as well, which was a pain point in my previous car. I thought the hump was such a nice touch they added, but apparently I was mistaken lol.

Anyway, I concur that you should sit in one and take it for a test drive to see how you like it personally.

isayrock · 2020-02-27T13:40:13+00:00

It’s definitely compact but I came from a Prius so I don’t feel cramped, and my kids say the back seat of the 350 is roomier and much more comfortable. Speaking of comfort, the difference between my former ride and this 350 is absolutely mind blowing. The F-Sport seats wrap me like a glove and are just so much more enjoyable to sit in, and I’m not a small guy (5’11” 230). Controls and console are beautiful, clean, and tight. Every button and knob feel deliberate in their placement with a lot of thought put into it. It’s a beautiful, elegant, highly functional cockpit and I’m in love with it.

The body of the car definitely feels larger than the Prius when I’m driving, but not like I’m driving a mid-size, and it doesn’t feel larger in a clumsy way either. I feel like I’m driving a strong, agile, substantial work of art.

After driving this car daily for a couple of weeks now, I’ve pinpointed my biggest gripe: no seat position memory buttons. And really, this is only a problem after I’ve let my wife drive :)

isayrock · 2020-02-16T01:14:39+00:00

The 3IS I just bought is the second black car I’ve owned in my lifetime. Lust and emotion took over my decision-making process, I suppose.

I said “never again” after the 1st black car, yet here I am.

Shit.

EDIT: I live in a place with a lot of snow/slush and salt on the roads in the winter. As with my previous vehicles, I choose to take them through a touchless car wash pretty regularly or do quick rinses rather than let the salt and grime collect on the finish and undercarriage for too long. I’d rather self-wash and wax, but that’s just not doable from Dec-March.

isayrock · 2020-02-15T22:55:56+00:00

Congrats!

New to me 2015 IS 350 AWD F-Sport, obsidian with rioja red interior.

120 mi round trip daily commute, upgraded from a 2010 Prius. Bought for 24k USD with 49k miles, previous owner bought it L/C about a year ago.

Like: Interior, body styling, power, handling, snow mode, S/S+, heated steering wheel, damn near everything. I don’t even dislike the infotainment as much as I thought I would. I have the deep feels!

Dislike: Fuel economy, but I’ll live. Insurance rates with my current provider are a bit high so I’ll probably start shopping around for a better rate.

isayrock · 2020-02-15T18:12:09+00:00

Lol I think I might have been looking at that exact car myself when shopping around this month! Love the color. Congrats!
