Norman doors! Doors that pull when you think you should push or visa versa

Nixon was a tankie according to them. He’s responsible for the EPA and OSHA.

Left of Reagan.

Generally about 80 bucks every other week. Depends on where you live and how much you drive I guess. The tanks are huge and the milage is better than it used to be, though still not great.

Kinda depends. My wife’s cousin is a youth baseball coach, his pickup is generally full of equipment. My sister’s kids all do different sports and their third row is perpetually full of different sports equipment.

Occasionally here doesn’t just mean “I need to haul a load of dirt twice a summer”

It could mean you need it every weekend for a season, it could mean that sometimes you need a truck right this second but didn’t think you’d need one at all today.

I’ll grant you that a large number of people who only sometimes need a truck could probably rent one, hell the big box stores near me will rent you one for like 30 bucks for an entire morning, if you’re lucky enough to get one. Some people do just like the fucking things. But a lot of people are using them for shit like baseball equipment and job site tools. Shit that literally lives in the bed of the truck because they do need it frequently enough to warrant having a truck but they also have to haul their children to school every morning and can’t afford a third vehicle just to keep the crap they need somewhat regularly in.

They have become prohibitively expensive to have as a secondary vehicle, if someone is in a position to need a truck occasionally, most people can’t afford to have it as anything other than their daily driver.

Cambodian field rats, specifically. The kids go through sugar cane fields to hunt them. They’re a dietary staple there. They aren’t like sewer rats, and probably taste a bit like pork. They’re probably healthier animals than most of the meat you’d get in the US would be. If you’re ever in SE Asia and have the opportunity, highly encourage you to try one.

I thrive in my chaos thank you.

Manufacturing is an attractive environment for that type of person. The guys who skate by doing the absolute bare minimum and keep the job because finding new people is hard. They never excel, never rise above “machine operator 2” or whatever grade allows them to work the coil line with the least physical interaction possible. Every year or so they’ll be caught on their phone by the wrong person or at the wrong time and the company will issue it’s cell phone usage policy again, reminding everyone to keep the phones away until break time. And then for a few weeks bathroom stalls will be in short supply because 5 versions of that guy just can’t be bothered to actually do their job.

Then the crunch will come, overtime will be posted and that dipshit will volunteer every fucking weekend.

I used to scoff at the comparison to Idiocracy but at this point I’d actually prefer that timeline.

I use fireball in mine. So the revolution will smell like cinnamon.

I’m not going to say exactly what it would take, but it rhymes with Bolotov Cocktail

Oh my God the HEMMING and HAWING when suggesting easier immigration to one of these bigots.

They will do anything to avoid answering that question. It’s really disgusting

Skill issue

First thing, a hard truth.

She is not, and never was, that in to you. She never considered you to be more than a casual friend, and never wanted more out of the relationship.

Second, she, almost certainly, has a difficult time finding reliable people to game with that don’t ultimately confess some unrequited affection for her. As a result, she will instinctively pull away from relationships she feels are heading in that direction.

Something I wish I had learned earlier, If you have to initiate every conversation, you can just stop. She’s moved on, you can too. You’ll be ok guy.

He was 🤏 this close to becoming a Catholic.

But he wasn’t. So he’s unlikely to be granted sainthood.

Why so thorny?

I have been telling my wife since we got married that we will not be buying Samsung appliances. I’ll pay twice as much for anything else.

When we went to buy a new washer and dryer the sales guy really hyped up the wifi connectivity and all the extra features you get with a Samsung washer. The point that I will only ever be near my washer and dryer when I need to use it seemed to fly so far over his head her couldn’t see it with the naked eye.

At no point in the last 5 years with these appliances have either I, or my wife, even thought about the washer while we weren’t literally standing in front of it. Let alone needed it to have an Internet connection.

Is anybody feeling snacks? I’m feeling snacks man
