A long time ago I wrote a script to backup a subset of my computer files. It's run fine for years, and now all of a sudden it stops midway through and doesn't copy all my files.

Literally nothing has changed.

Computers are black magic.

I'm alive....

 

Hard drive dying


Have you checked logs? Have it spit out a verbose one

 

The script and the backups all go onto a USB drive - plenty of space and it takes a manual copy/paste just fine (well, minus some errors I just found and need to dork with next week to understand)

No logs, per se. I don't know how to make it make logs. I just brute force code until it works well enough. And then it stops and I just .

Meh! It's FTS o'clock so next week me can deal with this garbage.

 

Get an intern to do that shit

 

I will never travel for work again. I'm tempted to say eff flying to Disneyland.... Now I'm just waiting for my plane so I can go home.

 

Fucking interns. If I wanted my computer to burst into flames or I needed a cup of coffee, I'd get an intern. But for shit that I want to work? Yeah, that's not the right choice.

Waste of sperm, interns are. Most of the interns can fuck up converting air to co2. I'd rather punch myself in the balls repeatedly than be forced to stare into their blank faces as my words flutter in one ear and out the other, passing through the abyss of nothingness.

I had an intern once, I would have preferred a rectal exam by an angry German man with fat sausage fingers.

But they're not all bad, I suppose. Some are worse.

 

Damn such bad experiences I'm down the street from SNA airport eating dinner with the gf

 

Evening, y'all.

Just ate. Going to sip some Asahi and relax and maybe do some light gaming or catch a game on the tube.

 

I'm in Sacramento. Was able to get standby.

 

 

Chad!!!

I'd be happy to look at it for you


1998 Honda Prelude - Clean Title

 

Nice...

 

No way no how? Project car and keep TL?
Can you see my recurring theme here?

 

almost my twin!

ACURA TL - A-Spec

 

Buy an Audi.

 

@justin!!!

Zoe wearing her uncle's outfit soon!

 

 

Bruuuu...
I'm so fast, you missed!!!

 

For serious though...
you tell us what your massive down payment on the S5 would be and let's go find you some crazy fun weekend car to buy cash instead!

Or just go buy your certified S5! I bet I'd be excited to go sit in one right now...go around the block.

In case y'all don't go see my KBP thread...raxles solved my vibrations. Car is a damn dream to drive now.

 

It's such a great calming feeling to finally fix a problem you've been facing for ever... I don't think there's a better feeling in the world .



And of course we won't miss it. I sub to your thread

 

I love you, Johnny...
and yes, I agree, I was SO relieved on her maiden drive last night.

 

So I'm in the yard, cleaning up the rough grading. I see a bunch teenage boys walking from house to house. I also see a truck following them. Boys are collecting bottles for their soccer team, as a way to fundraise.

I gave them 3 gigantor sized garbage bags full of beer cans. At least $40 worth of bottles/cans that I didn't want to haul to the bottle depot. I hate the bottle depot. With a passion. Helped these kids out while they cleaned my garage out.

My good deed for the day is done

 

Shoulda made them finish the grading as repayment...about 15 minutes worth of their time vs 4 hours of yours, old man!

Word. And then when they got all sweaty, you could invite them in for some lemonade or iced tea or popsicles or something.

 

if the polaroid comes out, run!

 

Going to change the shocks later on the truck with my pops...

 

I could match+ what I get from the TL for a down payment. So TL + 8-10k. Basically I'm trying to finance $20k no more.

It's likely I won't do that with how low rates are and will hold back and buy winter tires and summer wheels right from the start unless it comes with decent all seasons. Even then I'd probably buy wheels right away.

Glad new axles fixed your shit! I luckily haven't had any suspension issues in mine.

 

Gotcha!
Nice, man...so basically $40K top end.

I know it's weird but...have you given the CTS-V a chance?

 

Yea the way I figure it the S5 manual with the options I want CPO will be $38-$42. Maybe less depending.

I really do not like the way the Cadillacs look. I like the numbers and I like the interior...but the outside is still a Caddy. I'd be more inclined to go ATS if I went that route.

 

Yeah, no sense if you don't like the look.
I have always loved a car that was a bodybuilder in a tux.

 

 

How actively are you searching?
When I want a car, like the S2000, I have a one track mind and keep searching and searching and reading and watching and learning...I just got lucky both times I bought one I found it within a day

I'm sure you're aware...but cargurus is fantastic for searching.

 

Once an hour? LOL

I do cargurus, autotrader, hit a couple forums, and AudiUSA.

We're very much alike then. Because all I've been doing is reading and watching. Even the DIY type videos.

Emailed a private seller in FL. I hate how people post cars but don't explain shit...

 

Funny...I normally shy away from those types of ads, but then I realize now everyone over explains and is as wordy as I am (and would like them to be).

The yellow S2000 was a very vague ad with 5 terrible pictures and it turned out the seller was awesome. No games, no bullshit...a number...a car and the deal was done.

 

It's the rear sports diff that's making this difficult. Lol

 

Oh my the Florida car may be a winner...

 

Private seller in Clermont, FL. He's the second owner but it's a CPO so it has a warranty until 2019 or 100k miles. Kind of the perfect situation for me right? Because 1) it looks like he has other Audi's at his house ($$) 2) it's a CPO which means he can't have had it very long yet is selling already...aka needs it gone 3) He actually told me to make an offer lol

2013 Premium Plus, 25k miles, manual
Estoril Blue with all black interior

He hasn't responded with what options it has but he did say once he gets to the office on Monday he will text me a picture of the original Audi sticker. Perfect.

However...I can take some guesses on all his pics.

- Full Nappa Leather upgrade
- Stainless inserts + piano black accents
- I see a 'Drive Select' button. On a Premium+ that HAS to mean Sports Differential!!!!!!!!!!!
- I see full MMi nav options
- I see the Bang & Olf speaker grills
- the better looking 19" wheels
- it actually has the power rear window sunshade too

So from what I can tell it's almost perfect. The only question is the advanced key but it's likely it has that with all the other options it has. Plus that's up-gradable later. There's also the active dampening which very few cars actually have but that's not too important to me.

 

that's my next car... I'll have to snap pics of that one that's at my gym.

 

Do it.
