Same with classic rock stations, I swear to fucking god Boston’s 100.7 plays Turn the Page by Bob Seger or Metallica’s cover daily at like 7:45am. That’s usually followed by one of 3 AC/DC songs then 10-15 minutes of commercials since iHeartRadio bought them a while ago.
Carburetor cleaner kills wasps on contact, since we always had old cars growing up and lived in the sticks we also always got wasp nests. I still keep some around just in case. I don’t even own a car with a carburetor anymore. They get a good distance of spray too for added safety when dealing with them.
House I used to own was built in 1958, but the house I’m currently renting an apartment in was built in 1890. The apartment itself was added in 2020, and I’m it’s first tenant.
Yeah lots of houses super old around here, especially at the old mills area. My buddy lives in Uxbridge near one of the lakes, funny enough I’m a few towns away. Small world, Lemmy.
No, see, there won’t be another console, so Phil will be CEO until death (of Xbox or himself)
Put a drink in your cup that you hate, that way you’ll be reluctant to drink it as frequently. So if you hate pineapple juice, fill it up with that!
Same, the last roughly 40 hours of my gameplay on the Deck have been PS1/2 and Xbox games, with a few hours of New Vegas sprinkled in.
Fuck you RFK my Casio can’t and won’t connect to the internet, go swim in more sewage you dolt
Just wait until they add VTEC to it
My dad wasn’t perfect, but he always did what was best for my mom and I. He worked his ass off doing a number of labor jobs (carpentry, mechanic, electrical, plumbing, etc) and was a jack of all trades. He dropped out his sophomore year in the 70s to help support his parents when his dad had a stroke and just kept working the labor jobs. He was well known enough in the plumbing business that when Disney was planning another hotel they asked for him by name to lead the plumbing project.
When all that hard labor caught up with him and he had his back surgery, it threw him on his ass and disability. He still kept working on stuff after recovering, rebuilt his uncle’s Willy’s he had found, swapping motors out of his truck when he eventually killed it, doing home renovations, everything. All while trying to teach my dumbass some of what he knew so I’d know something useful. I learned a lot from him, but not nearly all of what he knew. He was a stubborn hard ass so he liked things done a certain way and would sometimes get frustrated if I wasn’t doing it right, but never in a “I’m going to scream at you because you fucked up” kinda way.
It took me until he was diagnosed with cancer to realize why he had always been a hard ass and pushing me to do better, he didn’t want me to follow his footsteps and he stuck doing these hard labor jobs, destroying my body like he did his. Sorry that didn’t work out, old man.
It’s not really a particular memory of my dad that impacted me, it’s basically his whole memory of him that did. I’ve had lots of great memories with him, but everything he always did was for his family first, he was very selfless. I wouldn’t be who I am today without my dad.
Happy father’s day, dad. Miss you.
Friendly reminder that Halo 3 is legally an adult this September and that you’re getting old, as am I
Had this problem too (phone number is from NM but I’m in MA now) so I just started messing with them. I’d answer “Federal Bureau of Investigation, Albuquerque district office, how may I direct your call?” Click. After about a week of doing this I haven’t gotten a single spam call, this was like 2 years ago. Who cares it it’s “impersonating a federal agency” or whatever, they’re scammers overseas, fuck em.
Adding to that, there’s so many of these docuseries that are like 4 or 5 one hour episodes when it could easily be condensed to a sub 2 hour film. They just drag it out for no reason.
You have to use the Google Play version of OSM for Android Auto, plus tweak a setting or two in the advanced settings of AA. As for the maps itself it’s been fine, I use GPS not Google Play Services for location, so I need to make sure the phone is in clear view of the sky for best results, but it still works in the center console of my car. Just make sure your location services are on before opening OSM or it acts funky.
Did the same thing last September, my S21 Ultra’s battery was getting tired and I was tired of the Samsung bullshit. So far it’s been great and so has battery life, plus it’s a breath of fresh air to only have apps I want installed without needing ADB to remove them after Google/Samsung decides they want them reinstalled every few weeks.
Only downfalls have been my broken banking app (which might be the actual app being broken based on Google Play reviews) and the amount of tweaking I needed to do to get OSM as my default map for Android Auto.
I finally have a phone that actually feels like mine, not just a leased device from the manufacturer.
Ya know, I told myself when they brought Verdansk back that I wasn’t gonna spend 70 fucking dollars for BO6 just to help level up guns, and even though I was tempted I didn’t do it, even when it was on sale. Shit like this is what reminds me as to why I shouldn’t buy it. Yeah, I’ll play your game because my friends and I enjoy Verdansk, it’s a good map and is fun for us to play, but I’ll be damned if I give them any money for it.
They locked one of the meta assault rifles in a season 1 battle pass (Krig) meaning you literally cannot unlock it and have to buy a weapon bundle to use it. You can pick the gun up off the ground, but not make a loadout with it without spending money. Luckily I’ve earned several of their free CoD points from previous free versions of the battle pass to unlock a bundle for it, but I shouldn’t fucking have to do that.
I’ll just cost them money to host me on thier servers now, until they remove Verdansk again and I’m not gonna play Warzone.
They’re not blocking your view, they’re blocking OSHA’s view. The fun police don’t like it when the Hardhat Boys race each other on their scooters (pallet jacks) and sword fight with grinders and shovels. Also apparently air compressor potato guns are a no no :(
To be fair, the “gallon size” you see in the meme is 90% ice, 9% milk and 1% “coffee.” Dunks is selling plastic cups with ice for over $5.
