Get ready to head to the parents for dinner. And car wont start. :( Turns over but nothing. Odometer totally reset itself and now seems to stay on without key in the ignition. Noticed a little corrosion on the positive cable cleaned and jumped battery incase, but no luck. Car has juice, battery is good. I'm really hoping it's just a onetime ECU glitch that fixes itself with the battery being disconnected for a night. Or maybe try to use my Cobb Accessport to reset something.... just really dont want to spend a ton of money trying to hunt down an electrical issue...

- bum cells in the battery. new battery and all is workin... just now out a $650 access port that the thief doesn't realize wont work on any other car...********

How does one break away from negative thinking?
- -1!pinkfloyd
- By constantly changing your attention to something else. Exercise and breath deep, your brain needs more oxygen to feel good.sea_sea
- Well for a start don't focus on breaking away from negative thinking, focus on positive thinking. Not the same thing.********

Who does it reflect worse on when I receive two basic photography books meant for complete novices: my parents for not having any idea of my actual experience with photography, or me for expecting that if I suggested books about Vivian Meier and Henri Cartier-Bresson, it would be impossible to screw up?
- I remember being a dick as a kid when I got bad gift—I was told "it's the thought that counts". My response was: "well... then put some fucking thought into it"PonyBoy
- Ha!mg33
- Can't you exchange them?Hayoth
- I'd give it to other people.pango
- There is nothing lost, one day you can give those to your kids lol.

I've got a couple of prints done of my photos mounted in aluminium frames, but I've just realised I will probably not be able to hang them. The walls in my flat are brick, clad in a layer of plaster then painted over, and there's really no way for me to see if I'd be nailing into brick or masonry.
Urgh.
#firstworldproblems
- Well, cement, rather than masonry.Continuity
- borrow a drill from someone?GeorgesII
- The risk is drilling into a brick and shattering it. The plater cladding is thick enough that you don't see the texture of the wall behind it.Continuity
- *plasterContinuity
- and the ceiling?sted
- Almost four metres high. :DContinuity
- shattering a brick from drilling? what a fag
i slitted a long furrow in my brick walls to hide a cable, not one brick shattereddrgs - drgs in an old building you can easily do that. but i would try if it has a layer of plaster and painting...otherwise use some supergule.sted
- Yeah, considering the building is 140 years old, messing up the brickwork isn't high on my list of priorities.Continuity
- ure drilling a tiny holedrgs
- duct tape it somehow...
but seriously, drgs is right, drill a hole, use rawlplugsuan - These are all mounted into old brick: https://c2.staticfli… and they weigh about 75 lbs each.bjladams
- you just need to use a masonary drill bit for pilot holes then set anchorsbjladams
- http://www.unibond.c…********
- you won't shatter the brick by drilling. there's a chance you may flake some of the plaster but that is easily fixedGnash
- use a proper masonry bit, and preferably a hammer drill.Gnash
- there are ultra sticky hook on the market that can hold like 20lvbBennn
- just use concrete nails, walls in MX are all brick covered in a thin coat of plaster, I have like 30 or so pieces up in my house,moldero
- problem is if you brick isn't covered in plaster, you wont be able to patch over it latermoldero
- i've nailed into mortar between bricks to hang art before with no problems.scarabin
- Thanks chaps. The framed piece is just about a kilo and a half, two kilos max, so I doubt I'll need too heavy-duty a nail. I'll rent a drill, and crack on.Continuity
- You'll only need the drill if using anchors and screws. For concrete nails they go in just like any nail, but really you have 1-2 chances to bang them in, soETM
- you'll tap it lightly until you get to the brick then hit full force 1-2 times. After that the nail usually just starts to bend, but they'll hold quite well.ETM
- ^ nails will likely chip the plaster. if you use nails i'd pre-drill through the plaster then place the nail.Gnash
- or put a piece of masking tape on the wall and nail through that. can sometimes keep the plaster togetherGnash
- what BJ said... masonry bit and anchors... done (regardless of the age of the brick)PonyBoy

I downvoted your post pink. Not that I have anything against you, just that I think it's pretty tacky to
1. announce publicly that you give to charity
2. you make it a point to say that it felt good to you.
you're doing it wrong buddy.
- This is why some of you people suck. You need to criticize anything. Wow, you really do suck.pinkfloyd
- letting friends know that you've done a good thing can often be quite positive. isn't it better than saying you just punched an old lady on the subway?Gnash
- I posted that I donated as a positive post. To inspire others to do the same. It's really sad you need to interpret someone trying to be generous that waypinkfloyd
- Plus, most people don't know my identity, so how is this posting publicly? Did I make a thread about this? Do understand the concept of a blog?pinkfloyd
- fucken idiotpinkfloyd

Ok Pink after some thinking I can't shake the feeling that i owe you an apology.
So you are right there is no good reason to downvote your post about charity. I could have just ignored it. since it was me and you asked who did it I fessed up. i thought I had a valid reason. Thinking about it further i think all it did was add negativity and I've read that is something you are trying to avoid.
So i will un-downvote the post. Ok?
