So many loving ants on the kitchen trash can. The bag is empty and we scrubbed the can down itself but every couple hours there is a line of them up the can and into it.

Borax is cheap and works pretty drat well. Pour a line around the garbage can, and maybe in the can itself.

It also does a good job on your laundry.

Today I took my concealed firearms class with my dad at a local gun store. It was very educational and long overdue since getting my pistol a few years back (though it's bigger than I'd ever carry). I don't think I'll ever actively carry anyhow but having the option to is going to be nice. Bonus is the Utah permit is valid in 37 states :woop:

I'm going on a trip next week. I pulled my laptop out and plugged it in for updates. I noticed it was charging slowly and several hours later I realized that the battery is expanding.

I bought it in 2012 so it's not new but I haven't used it much. I had it in my suitcase a few months ago and the TSA must've been rough with it because I noticed one of the hinges is cracked and one of the clips to hold the battery in broke off (I reattached this).

I don't know if I should replace it (the cheap micro center replacements have worse specs), get a new battery, or say to hell with everything.

Trip to Tahoe with the mustang group. They got me a little drunk. Was in bed by 9 (we started early) and I woke up at 230, and now I'm having trouble getting back to sleep since I've already had my normal 5 hours for the night. I just want to sleep.

There was a guy out at Kingoonya that had a 45 series ute that he threw out the original engine and jammed the 12-HT and 4 speed auto out of a Sahara 60 series into it and then did an absolute bare chassis up restoration of it.

He's got a 2016 VDJ79 for his business, but drives the old 45 around all week

I've built a few computers over the years. As they've gotten older, I've thrown Linux on them, so I have a few Desktops when I'm at home that I use. I rarely go anywhere that I need or would like to use a laptop. My phone or iPad take care of any sort of need in those situations anyway so my laptop has basically just sat around.

Not as bad as mine . I had white castle. Which is called a slider for a reason. And I'm probably one of the broken people. I can eat taco bell and not poo poo my insides out. Give me a couple white castle sliders and I will become close to my porcelain God.

Nah it is pretty tasty for real tho.

Anyways poo poo is gonna hit the fan in a few hours. Me and 2 of my other roommates spent a couple hours deep cleaning the house yesterday. And as usual our annoying rear end 4th roommate didn't do poo poo. In fact he complained about the TV being moved a few inches on the stand. Then he left his dirty rear end shoes in the middle of the kitcheb we just mopped and left for a few hours. Today he went out and I notice he left two half full beer cans in the bathroom and they were covered in fruit flies. Not only that but he dumped something gross in the bathroom sink because there were loving maggots crawling around in it. I took the two half empty cans and just loving launched them into his bedroom. We are all so sick of his poo poo.

If you get the ham ones, you should be fine. They're actually almost not bad for you or your gut. The pressed mystery meat and fat of the "sausage" is what does you in.

Something I ordered from Amazon was marked as "Handed to a receptionist at front desk".

There is no receptionist. The leasing office is half a mile away on another street entirely. There's no note on the door, and nobody knocked. And the leasing office is closed today anyway.

Amazon told me they won't do anything until 5pm Tuesday "in case the delivery driver finds it and delivers it". I paid for Sunday delivery for a reason, damnit.

I've had especially bad luck with Amazon Prime the last couple of years, especially when the last leg is USPS. Amazon seems to give even fewer fucks than USPS when I complain.

The cheese is pretty gnarly too imo. I think a ham or bacon mcmuffin with no cheese is about as close to real food as you can get from a fast food joint (and is also my breakfast at least 2 days a week).

I always liked Malcolm in the middle. I watched when it was on and binged through it via Netflix at one point.

My parents have been told repeatedly that "the middle" is the same loving show with worse stories and still don't quite get it.

It's bite-sized wheel-to-wheel racing that appeals to people who don't have the attention span to sit through a whole drat Formula 1 race. Plus it's got a dirt section, what's not to like?
