Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

ok guys this is gonna sound super duper super weird, but i think i have a wart on my dick.

 

i know it sounds disgusting, but i don't even know how it got there. and i know it's not a zit for sure because trying to pop it just results in intense pain, with no success. i'm worried, because maybe it could be some disease that i didn't know about? i'm just super worried it might harbor some disease, plus it looks hideous.

None of us are able to give you medical advice, consult an actual doctor.

yeah, but popping it (or trying to pop it) yields no success and a whole lotta pain. but if it is a zit, then how the hell did it get there in the first place?

Scratch on the skin followed by bacteria, pore getting infected. Happens like any other acne.

iirc i haven't scratched it on purpose, like left scratches behind, but sometimes i will occasionally itch it. doubt that would infect it though.

 

and i will never take tweezers to a zit. i don't even do that with my face zits.

Ya dun got gonorrheasiphalaids then.

 

Works, depends, requires lots of sanitation to clear out bacteria. Viable for some, but not all.

Sweat and a lil bit of chafing. It happens. You just have to squeeze the everloving fuck out of it and it will pop just a little bit. then it will go away the next two days or so.

um i did it hard, but i guess i just have to overcome that pain because every attempt to pop it just ends so painfully.

I hate road salt. When I go get the Duramax Express van from SoCal I will park across the street to avoid the parking lot salt. No where other than private lots have salt in them. I love me my lava rock. :D 

Undercoat it. :P Or saran wrap, whatever floats your boat.

they make tools for popping pimple/zits cleanly, sometimes if you pop them by hand they will stay there for a long time still or come back because when you pop it by hand it pushes some of the bacteria deeper into the skin. it's like a little pointy tool with a loop of metal and a hole in the middle of it. ill get a pic if I can find it.

just make dog gone sure you wipe the thing with alcohol wipes or something before you use it, even right out of the box. I used one of these to pop a zit on my earlobe one time lol

 

and honestly if you can't pop it, the best thing to do will be to leave it alone. If you mess with it too much it will start to swell and you'll be making a visit to the doctor. If you leave it completely alone and just keep the area clean it should go away.

I've gotta re-download all of Horizon 3 because my update corrupted my game. Hopefully my game save was still good.

Yeah, GTA has been super buggy for me today too. So that's out of the question, watching a few episodes of Roadkill (Civic vs RX7) I've missed though so that makes up for it

 

Makes me want a rotary even more than I already did to begin with

meanwhile the miata is @ 4000 rpm @ 80 mph

Mines probably like 3.8k. What I don't like is @60 is that its pretty much sitting near VVT activation. So if I'm not paying attention I can start to creep up in MPH, then I notice I'm going like 15 over.
