I'm still slogging through that INCEL thread and it's starting to scare me a bit.

Not because of the content or that these people exist, but because a lot of it is similar to poo poo that came out of my brother's mouth while he was visiting.

The internet is profoundly effective at corralling young groups of aimless white men into lovely philosophies.

Continuing the Pet Toll

Last month I lost my Bulldog which was very hard as she was so young. The wife and I work with a number of rescue organisations because that is how we make ourselves feel good while consuming more than our fair share and not having kids to be selfish. Someone we know through that work reached out about a bulldog they took in as a stray who needed someone who knows how to care for them as they are terrible mutants. Now being unimaginative and how he is coming from Texas the wife has named him Tex



Hug your dogs.

Sorry about your dog :( They are such great creatures.

Good luck on your new project mutant.

Cat interceptor: one other tick in the move to Canadia column - snow rallying.

BC has a thriving TSD rally scene as well as the entire Western leg of the Canadian Rally Championship within a day's drive.

The Island used to have quite a few TSD events but they seem to be dying out for lack of organizers.

BC has their poo poo together slightly better than AB when it comes to rally, not so much everything else but nothing else matters.

Got a new tire. Discount confirmed the wheel is still straight.

Wedged the headlight back in and kinda zip tied the bumper to make the car look driveable... don't want it to get towed. The frame horn took a hit, but it's ahead of the suspension, and only seems to affect the washer fluid reservoir. I'll hammer it out of the way of the filler so it doesn't crack. Junkyard run tomorrow to get a mirror, corner light, headlight, headlight bucket, pigtail for the headlight, and turn signal socket (it unplugs from the harness, while the headlight plug doesn't). I have to wait for the insurance check before I can do the bumper, crash absorber, and fender.



I asked Enterprise for a compact or mid size.... they gave me this. It'll be handy for the junkyard trips, but I really don't like the mileage. :sigh: Or how hard it is to park compared to my car. Dash readout shows 19 mpg highway, which is pretty drat reasonable for a 261 hp 4x4, but it drops to 12 in city driving.



Start renting yourself out as a mover until they want the truck back.

Because of my commute I replace, on average, a windshield every 18 months or so. Full glass coverage is mandatory!

In my province, windshield damage is so common that glass coverage either doesn't include windshields or costs more (in premiums, never mind the deductible) than replacing 1.5 windshields a year. It's probably only worth it if you have a hard-to-get windshield like a Subaru SVX.

I'm pretty tolerant of windshield cracks, but everything I own needs a replacement this summer.

I just make my hard-boiled eggs in the Instant Pot now. Little wire rack, cup of water, four minutes (three for runny), vent to atmosphere when it beeps, cup of ice water, peels off so easily.

I need an instant pot so bad. Used to have one in the last relationship but it was hers so when we split I lost it.

So loving useful. And I know that it's just a general pressure cooker, but the huge community with bespoke recipes centered around an instant pot's size and orientation means it's nice to just follow the directions directly sometimes.

Supposedly, there is a new version coming out so all the retailers have their existing stock on blowout. Mine is great, but I wouldn't say it changed my life (outside of this recipe, because holy gently caress it's good).

Sigh.


So Free Car Part Deux was a bust. It was a 1992 Cayman (color matched wheels) Ford Escort GT but when we arrived to check it out the dude's mother suddenly wanted $3000 for it. Car is rough as hell, doesn't run but is shockingly rust free. We sat there while she screamed at her son for 10 minutes and bailed. I guess she told him to get it out of the driveway or she was donating it and when we showed up to get it she went berserk on him.

There was a nice colour-matched Escort GT semi-locally, I wanted to get it for the rally. Goondolences on your loss, but maybe they'll call back.

Shits going so slow I'm not sure I'm get it all done. House needs to be on market mid May.

I saw an Integra Type-R yesterday out in the wild, legit five-bolt, badges, stickers, interior, everything. It had a "The Club" on the steering wheel.

Wish they weren't so rare because I quite like them. I was thinking of sticking around to congratulate the owner but I had brought my Saabaru instead of my rusty-as-hell EG, and also any ITR owner is probably packing some kind of personal defence weapon.

View from the prairies, so grain of salt. Unfortunately Horwath doesn't seem very interested in actually putting a platform out.

If anything, this should be the election in which you make bold crazy promises and put out a vision.

So I was just on a southwest airlines flight.
The dude next to me refused to put his tray table down before take off and we had to return to the gate to kick him off. Fun times.
This was after a 30min airport shutdown for lightning (at smf, which is really uncommon).

Last year, I had some guy who refused to stop talking on his cellphone until the pilot told him on the PA to shut it.

It's been like 3 years since I got my first moped (that I never got running) and a full year since I got my Puch. All the electronics poo poo the bed last year right after I got it to idle. I never managed to get it running before winter. After ordering a ton of poo poo and taking a day off to work on it, I can finally say I have a working moped! I loving love 50cc motors.



There is no moped cooler than a good Puch.

So I just starting getting into my Rift. Arizona Sunshine is kind of fun but frustrating when it doesn't reload or switch weapons and you're about to be over-run.

When it's on my head, the DK2 seems fine for me, but when I take it off it feels like I'm being dropped into the floor ear first. I have a weird form of astigmatism, so maybe something weird is going on with my sense of balance.

It kinda sucks because I bought it for development but having to take an hour between every test/fix cycle to keep from vomiting is brutal.

It's amazing that it works as well as it does.

I just went out today and noticed the maintenance people not only painted them (they were white and blue plastic colored), but caulked them in so they don't shuffle around. Mission accomplished.
