Due to some poor decisions, I had my license suspended for 6 months and a friend of mine ended up driving my 2000 Expedition since I couldn’t, and she started treating it like it was hers. I couldn’t stand this, so when I was able to drive again and she still hadn’t gotten her own vehicle, I wanted to get something she wouldn’t want to drive since she liked my Expy so much. This led me to trading the Expy straight up for a 96 Impala with a broken odometer. She HATED that car but I fuckin loved it. And it was MINE. I installed the 9C1 (Cop car) suspension including front and rear springs, added Edelbrock headers and installed an Infinity sound system complete with dual subs in the trunk. Even added rear door speakers since there were none and it was the cleanest install I’d ever done. I loved that car, but we were moving to Colorado, we needed a truck, and the transmission valve body needed rebuilt which I didn’t have time to do so I traded it. I’m still very sad about it but it will always be my favorite vehicle that I’d owned.
Hahahaha!! I suppose that could be a lot worse… our boy, for some reason, wanted to go to sleep every night to Shania Twain. Thank god Spotify wasn’t around back then!
A 2000 Pontiac Sunfire. It was faster than my cousin’s 2005 Ford mustang. That is why it holds a special place in my heart. It was damn shame though, because some stupid bitch rear ended my Pontiac Sunfire while she was on her phone driving her ugly as fuck dodge caravan. I felt like I lost my true sports car. To make it worse, due to the shit economy I had to default to a 1994 Toyota Corolla wagon
This one. 2014 Honda Accord with manual transmission. I love this car, and want it to last forever.
Second favorite was a Chevy Geo Prism, also manual (I kinda hate automatic transmission) that got the best gas mileage of any car I have owned before or since. Overhead cam, perfect engine design. Body fell apart, but that engine would not stop and was so efficient.
People just see it as the dumb movie where plants make people commit suicide and has bad acting.
I see it more like the original dawn of the dead. It’s a mirror to society. I personally don’t believe the plants were doing anything. What happened is that the media machine latched onto anything they could put on TV, and before you knew it every other network news copied the unverified information. This happens so often in real life because every news station wants to be the first to report instead of being the truth.
Also, it’s pretty terrifying that people start becoming suicidal zombies and you have no idea why or how to stop it.
For cat poop, we got one of these dog playpen enclosures: Amazon Basics - Octagonal Foldable Metal Exercise Pet Play Pen for Dogs, Fence Pen, Single Door, Small, 60 x 60 x 30 Inches, Black a.co/d/6Nz4VuU
It is set so that the cats can get through a gap easily, but Henry can’t get his head through without causing a huge racket.
I thought the OP was talking about their dog getting into an indoors litter box. It’s not for the dog to play in, it’s to keep them out. (In case you’re joking, let me be the first to say whoooosh to myself lol)
Oh phew, I assumed dog was finding cat poo when out and about so I thought you were suggesting setting that up as a prison yard for dog to attempt to run around in!
Most of us also ignore that ‘the world’ is a model in our heads that we’ve created with our senses. Some may make better models than others. But what does ‘better’ mean? Stubbing your toe less, getting sick less? Sherlock Holmes?
Also ‘the world’ is very complex and constantly changing. You’re either revising that model or, at some point, you’re living in the past.
I kind of feel the opposite. Most people I know is wary of “destroying nature”.
I think meh. It is just getting streamlined. We are getting for the next phase of human civilization. We are more like an organism with white blood cells and well separated and controlled compartments of bacteria filled sacks. It is bound to get more homogenous.
Higher civilization means the meaning of biodiversity will change domains.
I heard the other day that Hobby Lobby doesn’t use barcodes, which is really inconvenient for the staff and the customers. I’m presuming it’s for some religious reason like “mark of the beast” or something.
Intentionally blank page: Many documents contain pages on which the text "This page intentionally left blank" is printed, thereby making the page not blank
Thats not a paradox. The pages are blank in terms of the topic of the book, and the note is to inform you that it’s not a mistake.
It’s not particularly confusing, but there are a whole class of paradoxes that rely on the same mechanism – the truth of a statement is being altered by the existence of the statement, because it is self-referential in some way.
I think that the Berry paradox is the first one of these that I ran into, and it’s a little more confusing to most, I think.
Probability is a big one for me that I can’t wrap my head around because the rules just don’t seem to line up with reality. Like, if I roll a die 10 times and get 6 all 10 times, what is the probability of me rolling 6 again the next roll? It’s 1 in 6. But that’s insane. I just rolled 6 10 times in a row. That’s so wildly unlikely, it feels wrong that the odds I’d roll 6 again are only 1 in 6.
Apple. Vendor lock-in and anti-competitive practice. I’d boycott Google too but at the time of writing I can’t dump the mail for example.
Tesla, until they sign an agreement with the Unions in Sweden. I’m voting right, I’m not a member of an union, but if you want to do business here you follow our culture and norms.
I can show/help you how to self host for about $6/month + $10-15/year, if you’re interested. Could be cheaper if you’re willing to bet on a less reliable cloud provider.
If you’re looking for an alternative to Gmail, may I suggest Port87, which will also organize your email automatically. I created it because of how terrible my experience with Gmail was.
