Fuckinnnnnnnnnnn head gaskets on the Mazda. Given what a clown show that is on the 3.0 plus the oil pan requiring lifting the engine off the mounts and pulling the trans back anyway, looks like a low miles engine swap is the way to go, so I can screw with the new one on a stand and not worry about breaking off all the exhaust manifold bolts in the old one.

There are a couple complete assemblies right across the line in Quebec for 6-700 snow pesos.

 

A good friend of mine is a paramedic in Louisiana. He used to work up near the Arkansas border in a pretty rural area. One night he responded for two people attacked by an Ostrich. Yes, and Ostrich.

One person was dead on scene, but the other was still breathing so they transported to the nearest hospital which was in AR.

Apparently, Ostriches can be pretty violent when pissed off and for some reason this one was. The two victims were an older couple who were raising Ostriches for the meat.

The cops ended up shooting the bird with both .40 S&W and finally buck shot. The .40 didn't slow the thing down.

 

Not too shabby for being out of school for ~12 years

 

Good job Matt!

 

That test was miserable, but I'm glad I stuck the landing haha

Heck yeah. Precalc?

 

Yeah, course was a condensed 6 week thing. Was feeling good up until the last week when it beat me over the head with trig, fuck that shit

 

Wow that's crazy! I had no idea they were like that.

 

Dang. My pre calc was an entire semester for 90 minutes a day.

I did it in high school

Good news is you'll use it in calc 1, 2, and 3. And after that you really only use calc 1 and fundamentals of 3.

Buckle up for calc 2 if you need to take it.

 

Neither, apparently, did the couple raising them.

 

Oh yeah ostriches are mean. There was a dirty jobs episode on an ostrich farm.

 

Awesome!

 

Damn I actually thoroughly enjoyed trig, I fucking hated Calc though

 

I'm cool with triangles, I HATE Pythagorean identities.

 

Ah I hated the theories of geometry, that shit sucked the worst

 

I had them written out in front of me and I still got some of those wrong

 

I love nerding out lol

 

Five years ago I was attacked by a Raccoon in a park in Washington DC. The little bastard came flying out from under a shrub and attacked me from behind. Bit my right calf. I was able to swing him off my leg and give him a shift kick. I was "victim zero" and he went on to bite several others. Georgetown University hospital initiated the rabies treatment and the treatments continued in Connecticut. I'm glad I have good insurance. The rabies treatment was $20,000 !!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhDO_nm5mKk
