Outrail posted:Pre-tacoma Toyota pickup my first car was an 84 with a camper, tan. I loved the poo poo out of that thing and was very pissed when a lady cut me off with 1' and slammed her brakes on a 55mph street at the steepest downhill grade, and I got hosed over it they totaled her new camry because the bumper was scuffed, the tail light cracked, and the trunk didn't open and close right anymore; I had to eat getting dropped from my insurance after the radiator was smashed to poo poo, the wheel well on the driver's side was contacting the tire and parts connected to the engine were definitely driven into the block MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Oct 28, 2023 |

In defence of phonemotes, I visited my sister in law this weekend and was able to use their tv with my phone and the more remote hasn’t been seen in months

When I hit the down-volume on my sound bar remote, the lights in my apartment change color. When I hit the up-volume, they shut off :\

I stayed in a vacation rental, huge house, almost the whole place tied into this sound system with speakers in every room and all these niches in the walls where you could plug in your ipod Just your original ipod from the early 2000's. Not anything else. So mostly fuckin useless

My local drug store, a Rite Aid, has started locking up the loving toothpaste. There's now a button in the toothpaste aisle that when pressed, supposedly, will summon someone to open them. This might be a sufficient solution to the apparent problem of roving gangs of toothpaste thieves plaguing my bougie rear end neighborhood if Rite Aid didn't also understaff their stores so that there were only ever two people in the entire place - one in the pharmacy, one behind the register. I was buying the travel size versions, apparently theft proof since they're stored in the open, but other people cotton on'd to this so now they're sold out. Toothpaste acquisition shoudn't be this hard.

You can try the store that's 4-5 miles away and closes at 9, though.

I mean it's a step up from my old CVS in Brooklyn, which locked up the Snapple case. It's just that like... if poo poo is this bad just close the store. Give up. It's not worth it. Stop taunting me with toothpaste I can never have.

When did the majority of products at the grocery store switch over? waxed paper and canvas bags, and I'm pretty sure plastic packaging is what enabled the invention of the modern grocery store.

All of the small pharmacies in the exact same neighborhoods just have their toothpaste and deodorant out on the shelves and not behind plastic. I'll just shop at those instead.
