There’s always a few topics that bring the most annoying people out and manual driving is one of them.

No a learner isn’t going to destroy a clutch. You could also grind a gear a dozen times in a learner session and still not strip it.

These types of shitty comments only keep people from trying new things out of fear or embarrassment.

Driving a manual is easy if you already know how to drive. I got my lesson from a dude who sold me my first manual. You’ll fuck up a bit but you won’t break anything.

Take the automatic if you’re worried and just enjoy your vacation

One of my brothers is in Alaska right now. It’s wild to me that he even gets internet where he’s at. Where he’s at they don’t even have mailboxes just PO Boxes.

He is sharing 1TB a month among ~60 people tho

Reminds me of when I sent the return to office emails out to my team.

I apparently fumbled the wording so badly that one of my longtime friends/coworkers sent me a text asking if there’s going to be layoffs.

I’ve lived and worked in red states my whole life and I’d say you’re paranoid.

Ive worked in Kentucky, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Missouri to name a few.

I call the Appalachians home

I do not pass for white

My name sounds foreign as fuck

I’ve got a beautiful wife who happens to be white

I lived in an apartment without an ac and I also wasn’t allowed to install a window ac.

I ended up buying a portable ac which got the job done well enough. They’re not perfect but they’re miles better than open windows with box fans.

They’re already starting to layoff non probationary employees.

From talking with my wife it looks like the formula determines who gets to stay based on some like “competitive area” math and a primary part of it is time in service.

And your bosses at your location don’t get a say in who should go.

Yeah like I can’t say it’s not a conspiracy theory (that I agree with) but marking it is still very… bold?

MomCorp was taken!

I love the jank message summaries

I got one the other day that summarized a message from my 75 year old mom as a conspiracy theory. I can’t imagine having the confidence to mark a clients message as a conspiracy theory even if it 100% was.

Here’s the summary:

Conspiracy theory about government agencies being privatized for profit.

Original text:

They would turned it into a private owned so they can profit from it. That’s why they changing all the government agencies and turn it into profitable businesses for them. See how all the big corporations are lined up with trump.

I’ve been around nerds long enough to know some cards are more expensive than my house

But I also know that personally I’d be way more stoked to see a Charizard Cheeto in someone’s collection

Pepperoni rolls - West Virginia

Adobo or milkfish - Philippines

Dirty rice - southern states

I’ve really enjoyed your posts so I’m sad to see you go. Thank you and hope you’re well

Idk maybe we need to tell each other where we’re going next. I’m heading to that post about tuna

Yeah this is just the wiki random button with a simplified TikTok gui.

Pretty much a useless site which is a shame since I was excited about it.

I’ve had a few where I was forced to crush it with some vice grips then turn the handle on the grips with a long cheater bar

Probably focus on finishing a project. I myself have a graveyard of unfinished shit but it’s not a great look if you’ve never finished something.

Starting a project is always the fun part but if you quit something the second you hit a wall you won’t be pushing yourself to actually learn. You also probably wouldn’t be much use to someone trying to maintain and develop their project.

I was a dev for ten+ years then pivoted to pm during Covid

Didn’t MKBHD launch some wallpaper app for $12 a month? I heard about it and just figured he was another tech YouTuber who lost touch

Feel like as in introvert small talk is the best

Getting to shoot the shit with someone knowing you won’t be trapped in the convo for long

oh nice you pass

I did a factory tour in Louisville with my friend who is a native. She died on the inside each time the guide used the wrong form of Louisville. Was pretty great
