I had some Amazon Now credits, so I decided to use it today.

Turns out that Amazon doesn't really pay the drivers, so you have to leave a tip, alright no problem. Then they delivered the game, but it's clearly meant for the European market. :thumbsup:

That's the job I used to have - Prime Now delivery.

It actually does pay decent, and you're not required to tip - but since Now drivers use their own cars, and are independent contractors, it's appreciated. They've made it incredibly difficult for drivers to get hours without resorting to multiple phones with macros hammering away at the driver app though, which hosed me over pretty hard. I have the macros, but not the patience to sit there for hours a day waiting for shifts that may or may not show up. They're gone in less than a second.

Zipties.

Gonna wire tie it tomorrow at work. Permanent fixes are a no go since it's gonna be a dirt track truck in a few months.

Also needs a new spindle since the one it has is bad. Think it'd be okay to just weld on it and smooth it back down?

I was thinking the same thing, a proper kebab is a 2/3/4am smashed drunk desire and nothing more. The day you have a proper one sober is the day you learn the truth about your drunken antics. No.

In America, kebabs can be consumed sober, and may even be something an Afghani would recognize as a kebab, instead of just a Turkish gyro:

Years of telling the wife I'm sober while extremely drunk in foreign ports has made my drunk typing achieve ninja levels.

Edit: also what Pham said. I've only found what you guys would call a kebab once while in the states. What I got today looked almost exactly like the above, just minus skewers.

If you epoxy some neodymium magnets to the back of the tail light, it's a quick-release tail light in which you can hide drugs, which is almost certainly what the PO was doing with it like that.

I don't think it was a drug truck, just a lot of bad ideas got combined into one entity. Everything is ziptied. The last ones just vibrated enough they finally cut through.

And clam ache: I'll take some full shots at work tomorrow. It's a piece of poo poo in every way, but it's fun to drive and you don't have to give one gently caress about it.

Plus it does sweet burnouts and cost less than 2 car payments, while also being more reliable than my buddies 13 WRX.

I've had my fair share of halal and non halal kebabs, wife was in charge of resettling refugees for a while who had to adhere to halal for religious purposes. In any case, it's probably a regional thing because there is no difference here between the quality of meat. It goes without saying that if a dude named Jeff is in the kitchen at an ethnic food place you probably shouldn't eat there anyway. I like to call this the Portland clause.

Although on the other hand, the best pho I've ever had (and I've lived in Seattle and visited SF a lot) was cooked by a white-rear end guy in his late fifties at least in a converted strip-mall diner in Decatur, IL.

I think that's ethnic restaurants in general, no matter where you're at. I usually look for if the staff is of that ethnicity or from that country, if the staff speaks the language of that country, and the clientele. First two are more important than the latter though.

It's not the quality of meat, it's the fact that it's served at all. I don't give a poo poo if it's actually halal or not, it's just that they actually have the food that I miss.

That's the kebab I think about. That kitchen is way too clean though. In the western suburbs of Melbourne (Australia) there was the most delightful kebab shop that 11 years later I still dream about. The garlic sauce would leave you burping kebab flavor for two days.

This is why I had the Indian guys I work with choose the Indian place to eat. It was a good decision, both times so far.

Watching this engineer up-armour her cat feeder to protect it from the cat is a pattern that is all too familiar to me with my own kitten and the intricate maze of zipties I have constructed to block access to the fireplace.

I wasn’t taking any chances with the bowl, because it’s potentially a huge weak link in the system. If she gets that loose, all is lost. She’ll be able to get any angle she wants on the chute, and it’ll be cat vomit as far as the eye can see.

I had to send this to my buddy who has a giant maine coon that has gone through multiple automatic feeders. Granted his cat is not very smart and will just throw itself at the feeder until it gives up more food.

My dogs worse than the cats for whining about being "hungry" and eating until she vomits. She's horridly untrustworthy with any food at or below 1 foot off the ground. Above, she won't try.

We keep the cat food in a bag inside, we make it so the little fat rear end in a top hat has to work to get it. Our dogs on the other hand are retarded as poo poo and always flip their food bowl over to eat food off the cement/dirt. My wife is the animal person, I'm not.

We keep food in a rubbermaid tub, binder clipped shut with a heavy book in top. They get fed once a day, at night, when I get home. Each cat uses their own bowl, and I treat them like dogs, because gently caress cattes that are traditionally cats. Puppy cats are best.

One cat even whines like a dog when the SO leaves for the day, and I play with them like dogs and bark at them. They bark back :kimchi:
