Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

Trump claims climate change not real, uses "rising sea levels as a result of global warming" to try and justify a sea wall next to one of his golf courses over here.

Don't worry, Indiana isn't far behind with a proposed total abortion ban. Abortion is already illegal if the fetus has genetic problems.

Love my house, neighbors are ok, schools are good, but gently caress the theocracy.

You should actually buy a SAAB 9-5.

It isn't a fast car but you can go faster in it than most cars because of an innovative SAAB feature which makes it completely invisible to the police.

Not true. My boss's sons wife had the Saab with the turbo v6. She got pulled over all the time. Sure a good chunk was speeding. But she had stories of getting stopped and when she rolled down the window they saw her and let her go with little questioning. A turbo Volvo wagon is a much better option.

Guys, today is the 12th anniversary of something special. A viral video from before "make this go viral" was a demand that conspiracy theorists and shysters had for their flocks.

The Door Frame
Dec 5, 2011

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
It's my day off and I get woken up by my general manager, who tells me that it's freakishly busy and they need me to come in immediately to help out. So I throw on clothes, make myself presentable, and run to work, but as soon as I walk in the door, I see that there are only 15 people in the building and another server already got called in.
The bar manager just shakes his head and tells both of us to go home. I need a job with a real contract, because I didn't even get a penny for today. As much as I hate to go to class, I can't keep up restaurant poo poo forever. It's fun and it's great money, but it's so drat inconsistent that I cannot properly budget or plan for anything more than 2 weeks away

I suppose I've taken enough mental health time and need to just finish my nursing degree. Instead of working on the Fiat to try to get the wheels turning and doors locking, I'm going to register for classes today.
I have a Psych appointment tomorrow and every month this winter instead of the regular 4 appointments a year, so there's no better time, I guess... :sigh:

A girl I dated for like two weeks 15 years ago was in the store today and she'd gotten so goddamned fat I didn't even recognize her. When I say she was easily twice the weight she used to be I am not even slightly kidding.


And she got super pissed when I didn't recognize her.

Finally used the fireplace for the first time since moving here, figuring it would help with the cold temps overnight (it really didn't... thermostat said the temp rose 1 degree over the 3 hours it was burning).

The cat was growling at it for over an hour, and would jump several feet in the air if you touched him. I've never heard him growl before, and the only time I've ever heard him hiss is when he gets underfoot and one of us gets tripped up. He's as anti-aggressive as a cat can get, and is more prone to run and hide if something bothers him.

Pardon the mess... normally the fireplace is blocked by a bunch of poo poo.




I don't know how I managed it, but apparently I wound up watching Wentworth instead of Westworld. I guess I typed in Westworld and picked the first suggested alternative, since Westworld isn't on Netflix.

.... thought it was actually a pretty good show, halfway through season 2. Guess I'll binge it some more today.

Also, whoever thought putting a (loving HOUSE SIZED, 9,000 WATT ELECTRIC) water heater outside in an uninsulated closet can suck my :flaccid:

A fire place like that is for show only. All the heat goes straight up the chimney, and all the supply air gets pulled in from the house. Unless the fire gets roaring hot enough to heat all the bricks and then dies back and provides latent heat, it's really a waste. A good quality insert will actually make it worth while but good luck with that in an apartment.
