It's funny, I drove past a dealership (not Tesla) earlier and they had one of those Swasticar Dumpsters. They didn't have it in the normal line however, it was on one of those lifts that rotate to show the whole car about 30ft in the air. It took me until now to realize they're not showing it off, they're keeping it high up away from the better vehicles so it doesn't immediately burn them down too.
Also it has like 1,500 miles and is marked down to $77k lmao imagine losing all that money on a dumpster.
My dad wasn't perfect, but he always did what was best for my mom and I. He worked his ass off doing a number of labor jobs (carpentry, mechanic, electrical, plumbing, etc) and was a jack of all trades. He dropped out his sophomore year in the 70s to help support his parents when his dad had a stroke and just kept working the labor jobs. He was well known enough in the plumbing business that when Disney was planning another hotel they asked for him by name to lead the plumbing project.
When all that hard labor caught up with him and he had his back surgery, it threw him on his ass and disability. He still kept working on stuff after recovering, rebuilt his uncle's Willy's he had found, swapping motors out of his truck when he eventually killed it, doing home renovations, everything. All while trying to teach my dumbass some of what he knew so I'd know something useful. I learned a lot from him, but not nearly all of what he knew. He was a stubborn hard ass so he liked things done a certain way and would sometimes get frustrated if I wasn't doing it right, but never in a "I'm going to scream at you because you fucked up" kinda way.
It took me until he was diagnosed with cancer to realize why he had always been a hard ass and pushing me to do better, he didn't want me to follow his footsteps and he stuck doing these hard labor jobs, destroying my body like he did his. Sorry that didn't work out, old man.
It's not really a particular memory of my dad that impacted me, it's basically his whole memory of him that did. I've had lots of great memories with him, but everything he always did was for his family first, he was very selfless. I wouldn't be who I am today without my dad.
Had this problem too (phone number is from NM but I'm in MA now) so I just started messing with them. I'd answer "Federal Bureau of Investigation, Albuquerque district office, how may I direct your call?" Click. After about a week of doing this I haven't gotten a single spam call, this was like 2 years ago. Who cares it it's "impersonating a federal agency" or whatever, they're scammers overseas, fuck em.
Adding to that, there's so many of these docuseries that are like 4 or 5 one hour episodes when it could easily be condensed to a sub 2 hour film. They just drag it out for no reason.
At this point I didn't even drive in Boston anymore, I take the commuter rail into the city and subway from there. Why people are acting like that's an absurd possibility is astonishing to me. Yes, traffic in Boston sucks, but mainly because too many people from outside would rather drive in and complain about the traffic they're causing than the cheaper and much easier alternative of taking transit into the city. As for the actual residents, there's great public transportation, just fucking take it. You really wanna pay all that money for parking and vehicle maintenance just to sit at every red light to get somewhere maybe 3 min faster? Get a grip. If I lived in the city the first thing I'd do is sell my car and use my electric assist bike for everything, I already use it to get to work in the Metrowest, you can do it in the city.
You have to use the Google Play version of OSM for Android Auto, plus tweak a setting or two in the advanced settings of AA. As for the maps itself it's been fine, I use GPS not Google Play Services for location, so I need to make sure the phone is in clear view of the sky for best results, but it still works in the center console of my car. Just make sure your location services are on before opening OSM or it acts funky.
Did the same thing last September, my S21 Ultra's battery was getting tired and I was tired of the Samsung bullshit. So far it's been great and so has battery life, plus it's a breath of fresh air to only have apps I want installed without needing ADB to remove them after Google/Samsung decides they want them reinstalled every few weeks.
Only downfalls have been my broken banking app (which might be the actual app being broken based on Google Play reviews) and the amount of tweaking I needed to do to get OSM as my default map for Android Auto.
I finally have a phone that actually feels like mine, not just a leased device from the manufacturer.
Ya know, I told myself when they brought Verdansk back that I wasn't gonna spend 70 fucking dollars for BO6 just to help level up guns, and even though I was tempted I didn't do it, even when it was on sale. Shit like this is what reminds me as to why I shouldn't buy it. Yeah, I'll play your game because my friends and I enjoy Verdansk, it's a good map and is fun for us to play, but I'll be damned if I give them any money for it.
They locked one of the meta assault rifles in a season 1 battle pass (Krig) meaning you literally cannot unlock it and have to buy a weapon bundle to use it. You can pick the gun up off the ground, but not make a loadout with it without spending money. Luckily I've earned several of their free CoD points from previous free versions of the battle pass to unlock a bundle for it, but I shouldn't fucking have to do that.
I'll just cost them money to host me on thier servers now, until they remove Verdansk again and I'm not gonna play Warzone.
They're not blocking your view, they're blocking OSHA's view. The fun police don't like it when the Hardhat Boys race each other on their scooters (pallet jacks) and sword fight with grinders and shovels. Also apparently air compressor potato guns are a no no :(
I might've unintentionally over exaggerated what I meant, edited my comment. I meant bricking as in how Xbox would ban your console for cheating or modding them forcing it as an offline only system, not making them a paperweight. That's my bad
Let's assume you stole the Switch 2 early. To get this update, you'd be connecting it to the Internet. Nintendo has not only recently updated their TOS to state they can brick your console if they suspect you of pirating, but console manufacturers have been known to ban accountsbrick and or flag devices if they get connected before official launch. What will stop them from doing that immediately if you connect online before it's release date? I'm sure they already know which serial numbers are green lit for people with early access and which aren't. You won't be worrying about a day 1 update because you probably won't receive it, and you'll be locked to whatever game you're able to steal with it as long as it works offline.
Your best option is try to flip it immediately to some other schmuck and hope wherever you post it doesn't alert authorities to you or just get removed for being clearly stolen.
There's still a fuck ton of pennies in circulation and on the ground, unless they consider them no longer legal tender we'll have plenty.
However, if we end up following how Brazil does it, in my experience, it depends on the person/vendor and the amount. If you buy something that's like R$3,99 you'll usually get give them R$4 and that's it. I've also had it where I'll pay for something that's say R$4,89, give them R$5 and get 15 or 25 centavos back. Could also depend on what's in the drawer at that time.
Corporations will 100% pocket the difference at first, but once it becomes a normal thing to do the rounding I'll wager it'll fall to the Brazilian method, especially with local businesses or vendors.
I don't think we should continue burning any fossil fuels but that's not what I was talking about. I was making a personal testimony on why I dislike swamp coolers.
Swamp coolers suck, they don't work on humid days, they make any paper in your house damp and damage books, the pads will get moldy and you'll be breathing in that mold blowing directly into your house along with its smell and to even get any use out of them they have to be moving a ton of air so your whole house is a wind tunnel when it's on. My first summer living in NM we had one, my dad pulled it and installed a real air conditioner shortly after.
Yeah it pretty much is, they fired Frank right before shooting season 2, they demanded 13 episodes a season up from 6, as well as budget cuts out the ass. YMS has a short series about the differences between 1 and 2 if you're interested.
It's funny, I drove past a dealership (not Tesla) earlier and they had one of those Swasticar Dumpsters.
