I’d buy an electric one. I don’t need to haul a trailer or anything huge.

Cool, now bring back single cab light trucks with full length beds.

Sound and Fury - Sturgill Simpson

Probably my earliest memory of interacting with someone outside my family was when I was in an Easter egg hunt and being a little kid somehow managed to drop all my eggs. Another kid stopped what he was doing to help me pick them up. I don’t know why but that stuck in my head and I think it’s influenced how I’ve treated people throughout my life.

I’m older than you but otherwise the same. Seems like everything is going in the wrong direction thanks to corpos trying to wring as much money as possible out of it rather than making it as useful to people as possible.

I started playing X4 last weekend and was able to hyper-fixate on it for almost an entire day. It’s been like a year since I was able to do that on anything. It was nice to get my mind off shit for a while.

I get it. I’m the same way about instant mashed potatoes because that’s what my grandma always made and that’s just how mashed potatoes should be (to me). Not a fan of real ones really the texture is just off. I can’t speak to pancakes because I can’t think of any pancakes I’ve ever had that really stand out from any others but it could be something like that. Pancakes certainly don’t seem to be worth arguing over to me.

My experience with leftovers growing up was having to eating my mom’s terrible cooking again when it wasn’t even good fresh. As an adult I love them because I like my own cooking and it means I get to skip a few nights a week.

Im only moderately worried. My experience with it has been shit and that’s been the consensus among my peers. It can be useful bit it requires a lot of hand holding and verification to get anything of quality from it. The bigger concern for me is all the people using it without doing the hand holding and just throwing whatever garbage it churns out into production.

Kind of hard when the popular kids decide to single you out and you become a pariah. There were a couple of groups I was on the periphery of but nobody ever backed me up when I was getting fucked with. I had 4 dudes I would consider to be friends but we didn’t really have common interests and lost 2 of them to a car accident halfway through. Fuck high school.

And here I just used up my PTO.

I tried rebooting it but that didn’t fix the problem. It’s a GE if anyone needs a brand to avoid.

TIL. I remember my history book one year in grade school mentioning that show and the hysteria it caused.

Damn, one more reason to add to the list of why I can’t replace my LG V20…

Laying down and watching an old black and white movie puts me out quick. I’ve been watching the old Universal monster movies this month and it has been a struggle lol. Also started taking melatonin and that helps me sleep too. If I can’t sleep due to stress/anxiety I imagine I’m dying and that seems to work.

So… just don’t let me use self cleaning… Why does the whole thing need to be bricked because the lock doesn’t work for a single function I’m not using? It doesn’t lock when you use it for baking.

So funny story. My stove is currently inoperable because the door lock on the oven is fucked up somehow. Why an oven needs a door lock and why the door lock being fucked should prevent the whole thing from working I cannot tell you. I’ve literally never used it. Thanks whoever programmed that…

I replaced my old DataTraveler with a Samsung Bar and the angled hole isn’t really that noticeable to me other than aesthetically being annoying to look at. I was initially concerned about that but it was the only all metal USB drive they had at Microcenter so I bit the bullet. I actually carried it around for like 2 weeks in my pocket and forgot about it until I noticed it was on there when I got my keys out at one point.

Great post OP. I love this kind of thing.

Seems like the way to deal with this would be for dentist #2 to report the issue to a licensing agency of some sort and they evaluate the records from both to determine the correct recommendations and if #1 is found to be recommending unnecessary work they get the shit fined out of them and have their license revoked if it’s repeated or particularly egregious.
