I'm so disappointed with Tesla and Elon. I almost worked for the company at the Gigafactory about a year back now. They hired me from 6 states away but they weren't willing to negotiate on pay. It was pretty obvious to me that they were going out of their way to hire younger/educated guys willing to work for less after laying off however many employees. Knowing that it's pretty obvious why they aren't meeting production demands and putting ($60k CARS) together like glueless model kits. Tesla was one of those things that I really wanted to believe in and at the time I saw it like a promising glimmer of hope in a country that's getting harder and harder to not completely hate by the day. But now the new american auto company is a joke and the CEO is too busy stuffing his nose with whatever Kayne West is snorting and banging pop stars to actually make the company work. Toyota is going to eat their lunch and the company legacy will be resigned to a thumbnail photo of an electric car in a 2030 history textbook for elementary school students.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Yesterday I woke up with a horrible sore lip, I thought I had bit the inside of my lip while I was sleeping or something, but after looking at it and checking teh internets, I apparently have a giant loving canker sore and it hurts like hell. I haven't had a canker sore since I was a child wtf is this bullshit. Oh man I'm sorry to hear that. For whatever reason I get canker sore (or several) every other month or so. It's really horrible. There's medication you can get to swish around in your mouth that will coat them and make them go away in just a few days. The non-prescription option is just to rinse with saltwater. I've found this generally makes them go away in a few days as well.

Applebees Appetizer posted:I was walking my son to the bus stop this morning, and one of the rental houses on the street must have had an eviction because there was a bunch of poo poo in boxes piled by the street. On top of said poo poo was an almost brand new electric skateboard worth $500. After a little digging I found the remote, along with a shitload of brand new E cig parts like they were gonna start a business or something....Still looking for the charger for the skateboard, lotta boxes but I keep finding E cig parts. Oh and a brand new digital postal scale still in the box. Are the E cig pieces worth anything? Post pics of the ecig parts and I'll let you know their value. I should mention it's pretty hard to sell used ECIGs I mean really it's kind of like selling a used pipe which is pretty much like selling a used toothbrush imo. Anyways that's a pretty sweet find. Sounds like the previous occupants were running some kind of operation...

Hmm just as suspected given the circumstances. Those are cheap vape cartridges that are typically used for "weed oil" or "dab oil" or "concentrates" whatever you want to call them. They sell them at dispensaries but a lot of people in my area (not legal in my state) buy these by the bulk, make their own wax, and sell the cartridges filled with wax for like $40 or whatever. They use these carts because they are cheap enough to be disposable. So yeah no doubt about it the people that used to live there were selling a lot of marijuana concentrates, there's no other reason to use that specific type of vape cartridges. I don't know if you're into that sort of thing or not but if you are it can't hurt to keep them. Plus since the box is unopened you could probably sell the set on ebay for like $100 or something.

Just got my Accord back from the mechanic. Previous mechanic didn't replace the rear caliper like he said and just unlocked it so it wouldn't rub. By doing this he also rendered the emergency brake useless. So yeah I have all new rotors, a new calipre (that actually works), and new pads! The ebrake works now too! Also I'm getting the airbag computer replaced by the dealership because the part is under Honda lifetime warranty! It was the seatbelt sensor thing for the drivers side airbag. So yeah all in all a good day. My mechanic also noticed that one of the headlights was out and instead of just replacing the bulb he soldered the wiring and put some silicon on the headlamp housing so it wouldn't leak. He didn't charge me for it or mention it I could just tell when I got it back.

I really admire you for giving it a go and I hope it gives you what you're looking for. Thank you! Yeah this isn't my first time sobering up. I usually go a couple of months and then fall right back into it. I'm hoping this time I can stay sober this time. I appreciate the support

Applebees Appetizer posted:Good job staying sober dude, also try not watching the news, like at all. I haven't been but of course there's only so much you can do to avoid it completely. Of course people are going to mention things in the office and my roommates also bring things up occasionally. I try to ignore it but it's still depressing (no matter how you stand politically I imagine). I've been trying to just keep myself as far out of the loop as possible for the sake of self improvement. Anyways what I am sure of is that the internet and the news were both developed as weapons designed to torture all of us. Also yes Darchangel the Qanoners are dead serious. I won't get to into it because I really don't want to contribute to this part of the conversation (for my own sanity/sobriety) but I will say this. Remember a few years ago when the gov was talking about paying to have high speed internet access extended to the sticks in the name of "educating and uplifting the rural poor"? Remember when we collectively thought that would be a good idea? Remember when that actually happened thanks to mobile devices and expanding 3g-4g access? Well... this is the fallout of that. This is why I think smartphones are bad. Honestly it's way too much responsibility for the average person.

builds character posted:The most helpful thing I’ve read was this “desire is a wave.” It comes and then it passes and there will always be another. But they won’t always be this big and they will always pass. Yeah I've gotten the same thing as well from meetings. It really is the most helpful advise. I usually just try and get myself through each wave and it always eventually passes and then I don't even want it anymore. Even after just 2 weeks I don't really think about drinking throughout the day.

Healthcare sucks. The world is a toilet and was engineered to torture and kill us. It has always been this way. I was driving my Accord today and thought to myself "this car was built before 9/11" and that kind of bugged me out. God the 90s sucked but at least looking back it seemed like a more innocent time. I like cars because when I'm in them I don't have to think about the raging fire surrounding all of us. It's just me, Rob Zombie, and VTEC yo.

I'm just done with seeing more conservative / religious right fucktards ruin everything and as much as I like what a few people post about politcs, I'm *finall*y just not dealing well with the overwhelming continued stupidity flooding out of the politcal centres of the world. I'm done, my blood pressure is going through the loving roof when I see twats from the right wing of politics or religion who frankly would do the world a favour by suck starting a shotgun throw another blatantly obvious piece of poo poo us all. On Saturday I *literally* just stuck to shitposting about Venture Bros and Bathurst, what a blessing that was. Sunday as per anyone in Australia whose has guzzoline in the veins, we went to the Mountain and worshipped the V8 and did honour Immorten Brock and witnessed Lownsey on the Conrod Straight I would just get off facebook man it's seriously not worth it and your data is being mined just to make it worse. veiled boner fuel posted:To the people that told me the 2.0 turbo accords were awesome: you're full of poo poo.
