I've been looking at that livestream from Fagradalsfjall watching the lava grow, almost all day. It's facinating to watch somehow.

This is brilliant!

I don't suppose you could get me a job as a yard jockey down there? I'm looking to get away from everything

What air traffic?

I had similar experiences growing up. There was one girl at school whose parents were from Chile at my first elementary school, and just before I moved a kid from the middle east moved in. Noone cared. Then I changed school, and I was the only one with brown hair and brown eyes, and I got bullied alot for it. Something I think has it's origins in the fact that alot of parents out there were literal neonazis that were bullied out from town by the prominent punker scene, so they were taught by their parents. The racist bullying mostly stopped once their parents found out who my parents were and they moved to other things to bully about instead.

Got a link for that?

Worked, and I'm now watching a documentary about the Swedish 1985 November Revolution. Because I can never be angry enough at banking and economists. A brilliant idea that took us from 7th in GDP per capita with a fair spread down to 17th in short time.

Best usage of the Star Wars licence since KOTOR

That's probably what I enjoy the most with it. "A derringer? You get an Glock and I get a lil' midget derringer?"

This sounds like plain 5e issues to me. Source; Played a monk that demolished Tomb of Annihilations end boss, because I could move further than the size of the room as a bonus action. Edit;Oh, and run on walls.

Hey, my Amazon had those holes! Volvos engines have always been rock solid, but especially the old B18/B20 (Same engine, different bore) pushrods. I mean, you can take practically anyone of those old engines and rev them to 7500 RPM, stock. If I were to put a 16V header on mine I could go to 500 hp easy with just changing the rods and pistons, the only problem would be the yearly inspection. And there are a couple of people who went the turbo-supercharged route aswell, there's an awesome looking opel Manta with a Volvo 2.3L 16V (B234) engine. https://www.pistonjuice.com/category/opel/manta/ Hehe, the garage... uh. Yeah, nsfw

Things like this is why I do enjoy Karls content (Jump to 3 minutes if you don't want to watch all of it)

Yeah, thereabout's, I'd never go for a quickjack myself, it's just unnecessary money spent on doing exactly what I've been doing up until now; Using jack stands. I'll admit that I almost have a panic attack every time I drive over a grease pit They scare the living daylights out of me! Also those trenches work fine for regular maintenance and such, but I really ought to have pillars for the suspension work that I'm probably going to need to be doing in the future, a grease pit won't help that much for those kinds of jobs. And my father will probably fall into it Also depending on the garage size, pulling the engine out can be problematic unless you have a hoist in the roof. Gah, I'm getting annoyed that my friend busted my T6 engine again. -.-

I'm not letting a Volvo mechanic touch my car again. Just before I bought it, it had been in a Volvo service shop for maintainance, and they used an impact wrench to tighten both the sparkplugs and the oil plug, so I had to rethread those. I have a severe distrust for certified mechanics now. I bought new tyres this summer and sepcified that I wanted them torqued to 13kg, no more. This winter I had to use a 1.5m long pipe to loosen the nuts, and I had to exert force. I have a "4 way" tyre iron, and I couldn't for the life of me get the bolts of. I reckon they just set those ****ing wrenches to max torque of 70kg and go for it. I'm not even going to go for the rant about what happened when I left my car to a certified shop after my radiator tried to mate with a badger... Aaanyway, I don't think Geely wants to promote Swedish cars You'd want a good lift though so you can actually work properly underneath, and those cost alot, and the garage would have to fit it aswell so you're going to basically need a barn because few people build garages that high. Yeah, the only place I could ever afford to buy a house myself would be in Swedish Lappland or something like that. And yeeeah, my Saami isn't up to snuff

The irony though

I do but I do get help from a friend and my father with working on it, both have extensive experience with old volvos so it's a big help. It's going to hit 430k km soon so it's definetly showing some wear and tear. I'm much annoyed that the image doesn't show the bronze and purple tints in the paint. Yeah, I don't have a garage of my own either, I pay my friend to loan his garage which is also his workplace for his company, so I need to work fast No lift either which makes everything a bit more tedious aswell, it's kind of annoying to work underneath the car and barely being able to move your arms.

It's a 98 Volvo 940 Classic, 2.3L low pressure turbo, so 135hp stock. I've lowered it 4cms with a suspension kit and raised the boost to what a full pressure 940 turbo has (0.6 bar instead of 0.3) and mounted a 3" exhaust system from the turbo and back. I've got an extremely unflattering picture from before I bought it.

That sounds like a good cause, but unfortunately since you've admitted to using what according to my government is the most unholy of unholy, worst drug in the world, the gateway to pcp and crack, then black-tar heroin, and strip clubs which is demigrating to women and punishable by death, I can never do a transaction with you, sorry :< In fairness, it'll probably go to a new turbo for my car, a standard one is about 500€, but it can only push 1.4 bar and then it'll probably break, if I double the price I could possibly get a Borg Warner EFR 6758 which'll bring me up to about 3 bar. This'll net me about 500hp for 2.6 seconds until my pistons go flying about 20 metres straight through the side of the engine block.

Yeah, InRange is mostly firearms tests, mud-tests and different competition shoots. Then some history ontop of that, and a few pieces about cybersecurity and privacy. I do enjoy C&Rsenal aswell
