Me: breathing in oxygen and exhaling CO2

Cops: you’re under arrest.

Old guy at work asks me if I like my job and I say no. He says “Work is for family not for you.”

People are just not price sensitive to most things. It’s also seen as bad to be thrifty, most people think of you as being cheap or stingy. Everything is about appearances now, people are more worried about what other people think than their own interests.

Companies have also figured out that they can make more profit by raising prices and shipping less product. They have to pay less in overhead and wages and get the same amount of money.

I have an old “NEXT” bike that I pinned the front fake shocks because they’re really only springs. I did the same with the rear one by taking out the spring and replacing it with a piece of pipe. It rides good, it’s still a POS that I got for free.

Bipolar, being a millennial doesn’t help either.

Long periods of depression and brief periods of high productivity.

Car enthusiasts are much more welcoming and helpful than computer experts. Just look at stack exchange.

You can usually find step by step instructions for fixing most cars. My library has a subscription to Chilton online, so I can use it from home and look at repair procedures and wiring diagrams. Just use forums and YouTube to fill in the gaps. I’ve even diagnosed a car from Amazon reviews since I suspected a certain part was bad and looked at reviews that said the exact symptoms.

The walls are closing in…

Works fine on my machine

I’ll just leave this here

I’ve gone with doc martens twice and never regretted it. The first pair the soles just dried out after 5-6 years. I still keep them in the garage for when I’m working on cars and whatnot.

Mistakes are ok, and if you can’t accept that, then fuck yourself.

What really chaps my ass is when they don’t bother to tell you. It always happens when I’m filling out a form and find out that the submit button just doesn’t do anything. Then I have to go back through chrome just to fill out the same form a second time.

My mom had just married my stepdad and I was around 7 years old. I would have to go to his mom and dad’s house before school since my mom had just started working again. His dad was dying and on oxygen. He was pretty much bed ridden at that point. He called me into his room and asked me just to come in there to say hello whenever I came over. He didn’t last much longer after that, but he still wanted to see me even though he had barely known me.

Just set the clock back a month.

Rauner blocked the state budget for years so there wasn’t any money to fix roads. They are currently fixing all of the neglected roads and bridges now. There were bridges with chunks of concrete missing and exposed rebar that they addressed or are addressing first. They are currently repaving and upgrading the intersection of i57 & I74 for instance.

As far as preventing use data, you can usually unplug the cell modem, or you can put a faraday bag over it in order to prevent it from connecting.

I’m sure that there is also a software solution for these issues as well. I have a cable and software for my car that lets me enable and disable features.

I wish I had enough money to afford to buy a new car, I probably wouldn’t do it because affordable would still mean living paycheck to paycheck. Not sure why I would want a second mortgage on something that depreciates that quickly.
