FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

Ether Frenzy posted:

gently caress United forever. I gave my boy Shady another $40 in cash for his effort. If they ever invent Uber Air, I am all over buying shares.

An Uber-type business for flying can not and will not happen ever. It's been suggested a few times by libertard techbros with IQs lower than their body temperatures, and each time the FAA basically laughs at them until they're blue in the face.

I live 100m from a bus stop that has 2 routes. One to the local bus station that has a shopping centre, it goes the other way to a train station and also passing a mall where my bank is. The other bus that stops there goes from the same local bus station with shopping centre (yeah that's right, both go there so there's either every 10min), or to a slightly further away train station. On the way there that bus passes a dan murphy large booze shop, so I use that to get booze.

That's not all, a further 100m from that stop there's a bus route that goes down the main road into the city. There's some shops I needed to go to on that road so that was handy.
Also if I walked 300m the other direction, there's yet another stop/bus route that takes a more convoluted path but also ends up on the main road to the city. My local grocery store is in that direction so I used that bus back from the city if I wanted to stop at the local shop on the way home.

Didn't happen by accident, I picked a "dodgy place" (very outdated reputation) to live in where public transport and shopping was good. Ask anyone in my city about public transportation and they will say they hate it. Mostly because they either don't use it, or because they live 30km from the city and as the freeway is gridlock during peak hour they grudgingly use it when everyone else is trying to get to work too, so they hate it.
Live in the right place and there's a nearly empty bus or train every 10-20min.

I'm jealous, we have terrible options for public transportation and no one wants to spend money to make it better.

Or, supposedly. He said that once and has denied it ever since and returned to the whole "she doesn't abuse her medicine any more, she takes it like she should but I'mma stay here tonight...."

No offense, but it sounds like you know way to much about his life and you should care way less.

I just sold the motorcycle I bought when I graduated college and swore I would never sell. First/only new vehicle I've ever owned. I haven't been riding it much the last few years, but I'm still pretty bummed. I think I'll go sit in the garage and drink alone spend every last cent on eBay.

Did an impromptu trip up to DuPont state park to go mountain biking with some buddies. I don't think I've ever found a work out I enjoy more. I've only got about 100 miles of biking under my belt so far, but man is it fun sending it on a good down hill and not crashing and dying.

Miami is the kinda place I'd go for a day but never live there. I prefer the more laid back vibe from Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater, but I also live 45 minutes north of downtown Tampa so I may be biased. Depending when in october you go, the water may still be warm enough for some beachtime, tons of great cuban food and lots of super trendy clubs if thats your thing.

I haven't been to miami but I go to the panhandle (Destin) for 2 weeks every October and it is the best time/weather/crowds. Go for it. I may be able to get you very cheap accommodations in Miami if you PM me next week with dates.

Only thing I'm hoping for is no hurricane/tropical storm and not becoming a character in the adventures of Florida Man.

Man I spend 4-6 weeks a year in Florida tourist/beach areas and would spend more if I could. Again I haven't been to Miami. I will check the PM but it may be Monday before I check hotels for you through some timeshare stuff (no you don't have to do timeshare meeting or anything else) I can sometimes score crazy deals. Will let you know.

Hey guys remember the cat my mom adopted awhile back? I remember IoC saying she looked like she had about enough of everyone's poo poo.



IT'S A TRAP! She'll shred your arm if you go for belly rubs (... like most cats).



Lots of progress on cat dog interactions. Dog likes cats, dogs, he loves anything that will play with him. Cat, on the other hand, hated him for several months. She still hisses at him a bit, but lets him get close now.

She's put on a bit of weight.. was about 10 pounds when adopted, around 14 now.

Meanwhile my 17 pound fatass is down to 14.5, shooting for 12.

Went out and had a single beer with a buddy. On the way home a blue Hyundai swerved over and I narrowly missed his car due to a liberal application of brakes. He then takes off like a madman, swerving and weaving and nearly hits a few other cars. I find him stopped at the next light where he floors it off the line again.

So gently caress this drunk piece of poo poo, I called the cops. And they responded and chased his rear end down. The dispatcher even thanked me for thinking of the safety of others.

October is the best month to come in terms of perfect weather and less crowds.

Miami is expensive, especially if you want to hang out on South Beach and party all night. It's fun though.

The Gulf coast is cheaper and more laid back if you just want to chill and relax.

I'm going to die laughing when Apple pull a hundred billion of the $250b liquid cash they keep in offshore banks (cuz they're such altruistic superpatriots and all) and buys the FAA lock, stock & barrel from Trump right before he gets frogmarched from the white house, and voila.

Also relying on comparing your car to other people's to gain satisfaction with your life is very sad and I hope you can find something more positive and uplifting sometime soon since you seem to be really mad about getting owned so thoroughly

Was.. well I guess he still is, but he's losing weight. I put him on a different food about a month ago, no longer free feed, and play with him a hell of a lot more. He's down a little over a pound since then. My target weight for him is 12 lbs, he was 16 lbs in that picture.

Strange mood today. If the motivational problem with the trans in the Nova really was due to a lack of fluid (which I seriously hope is the case), I can get that resolved today. I've got a quart of ATF ready to go. If that is the problem, this car could move under its own power for the first time in a while. I should be excited about that, right? I think I'm way more nervous than I am excited, though. I mean, I've replaced a ton of poo poo on this thing and I'm just super nervous about everything making GBS threads itself when it's put under the stress of motion.

New brakes (will they actually stop the car?), new rear end (did I assemble it right? will it explode upon movement?), new suspension (will it bind up and break everything?), new steering (will it fall apart and crash my poo poo?), new fan (will that loving thing even WORK?), etc. I guess I just don't have much faith in myself. I've had some pretty serious self-esteem issues for a while and I guess I just hoped they wouldn't leak into this project. It's like, I want to go out in the garage and see what happens, but I also don't, you know? Ugh. Sorry for the brain dump.
