Contacts rule. I can't wear mine lately due to allergies, and I miss them. My eyes are similar to yours, too.

Adjuster just called. Time to go car shopping. Wife totaled her Kia Soul yesterday, but thank God for full coverage plus gap coverage. Now all I need to worry about is if we have good enough credit to finance a new(to us) vehicle. I think she wants to go up a size to the Kia Sorento...

scuz posted:Oof. Girlfriend had a end-of-school-year party with her co-teachers and I showed up just to say hi and wound up partying all night with them. I stopped drinking around 11:30 last night and I might still be drunk. Teachers loving party, man Given what we deal with, can you blame us? Congrats, Rhyno!

Dealing with shitheads like that is exactly why I'm getting my degree and license to be a principal. Some of them lack basic skills to manage a school and it makes life miserable for everyone, staff, teachers, and students.

Traffic or no, I couldn't do a one hour commute to work. That's at least two hours of my day spent driving, and, well, gently caress that. Mine is about 20-25 minutes, which is that sweet spot of time where I can leave work and decompress and be ready to enjoy my home life by the time I get home.

I started watching Breaking Bad and it was great but it stressed me out too much. So I just watch Simpsons reruns and try to forget about what's outside my door. Me too. Years of working in stressful environments means that I now don't enjoy watching TV with lots of arguing or fighting. Even a couple of episodes of Black Mirror messed me up for a day or two. Probably an indicator of some undiagnosed anxiety issue.

slidebite posted:I'm pretty much the same way here, except my hardest time is easily with animals and little kids. I can easily read/watch fiction or even a news story about some hosed up depraved human piece of poo poo monster doing god only knows what to fellow human beings, but I have a hard time clicking links that I know are about graphic animal abuse or some crackhead parent throwing their baby in the trash. Exactly. And honestly, I don't see harm to kids being in a work of fiction for any other reason than shock value.

Turns out, the heat causes the air to expand and make it not dense enough for the planes to take off in the given runway length.

My wife and I are waiting on the paperwork to go through so we can buy a car from a vending machine. Truly, this is the future.

everdave posted:Are you getting it from the one in Nashville? Are you going to go and pick it up out of "the machine"? Yep! Getting it out of the machine next week. It's stressful as poo poo, too. Carvana does not do a couple of things that make the process smoother: 1) they do not offer gap coverage in the state of Tennessee (went through my own agent anyway), and 2) they do not do the whole "two buyer" thing. It's the second one that caused me a mini heart attack just now when I called to finalize everything. Rather than considering the combined income of my wife and I, they would only consider mine... which is effectively half of what I initially told them our income was. They updated everything on the phone during the world's longest 8 minutes, and thankfully nothing changed. Same interest rate, same length of time for the loan, and same monthly payment, thankfully. Now it's the waiting game while they verify income and finalize the paperwork. It's a little odd to buy a car online, but it's not a bad process. When you go to pick it up, they allow a 10-15 minute test drive, and if you still like the vehicle after that, you sign off on everything and your 7 day trial period starts - you have 7 days to return the car if you don't like it, something's not up to par, and so on. While CarMax (where we bought our last car) offers a 30 day trial period, we figured the 7 days was good enough. Really, we'll know after that test drive, but it's good to get a week of my wife driving back and forth to work in it to really put it through its paces.

ilkhan posted:What's this now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnHaPVP-opw I'll try shaking it to see if I can get a free one when we go, just to make sure. Also, wrt to USPS delivering UPS packages (whatever stupid name they give it), it's loving terrible in our neck of the woods. Amazon does it all the time, and our stuff always comes days late because the post office holds onto it longer than they need to.

Got the call a little while ago. We are good to go on the car. I'll see about taking some pics / video of the machine.

Car update: giant vending machine is pretty drat cool. It's a gimmick, but a very cool one.

I'll be in one of the best spots for it. My school is right in one of the prime locations, but we aren't in session, so I'm planning to do a viewing party for my students anyway. I attended a PD at the local science center and they hooked me up with enough eclipse viewing glasses for all my kids. I'm thrilled

Hey, my back popped during my deadlifts, so I cut my workout short. Feels a little stiff, but no pain. Not like previous back injuries, like when I adjusted the bedskirt and it popped and I couldn't move it hurt so bad... Wife loves the vending machine car a bunch. I dig it, too. It's a 2014 Hyundai Tucson SE, so fancy with heated leather seats.
