nah it’s a reference to a wasted month of my life thanks to Taylor farms.

I had to get the model number off of the old belt to get the correct belt. That’s how I learned I have a 1998 engine in a 2003 frame.

I think it really depends on what you’re getting. For groceries, I generally only buy the half off stuff. Parts are interesting because unless you know exactly what to get, you might end up running in circles. Both vehicles I have are 1998 engines, yet one is a 2000 and one is 2003. It was fun to figure out what serpentine belt I needed.

Another example, manufacturer sells a part for a steam table to regulate the temperature. It was $120 for one part. Alright so I buy one for a customer. Then I did some research. Bought 8 from the UK for the price of one shipped to the US.

That got me a good giggle, thanks

I’m over 400 years old and if you don’t believe me, I still use teamspeak.

I’m okay since I don’t need much, but my “fucksgiving” is gone. I used to be very altruistic. Now, I’ve been enjoying watching businesses fall apart because I don’t care to justify my cost to repair things. Schadenfreude. I’d rather cut my spending. This is just reverberation towards people that took advantage of me.

I’ll take getting rearended for 500 before “logging in”

This isn’t just google; it’s a new grift using the internet overall. I look something up online at the grocery store website, they put a lot of focus on you should order online and pick it up. I go to the store and it’s cheaper than the online price for the same store. We’re all getting played.

I think at this point the acceleration is the fun part, graying out or even reding out isn’t out of the question now. Odds are the tests might be done with auto pilot. I’m sure there’s some firmware hacks that already exist to remove the current limiters. I bet higher speeds will be reached with more complicated transmissions.

This was never about the children. Besides what does this really accomplish when there’s Roblox?

Oh yeah, didn’t change when I was in High School. The football field held all the priority. Yet my last year, you had to pay to participate in sports… Health class was held in something that looked like a dark prison cell.

Hah thanks!

I agree. Even in a Korea EV I tried out, I was surprised how much fun it was. Definitely not a car for me, I need something very throttled. As in this idiot drove cars at 140+ mph, don’t worry safely except for the potential of deer.

I see, I wonder how this would affect residential & commercial zoned properties. As in it’s a house but it can also be commercial property. I get calls al the time from companies trying to buy my house because of it. The nursing home keeps sending offers two houses down, I’m sure they get the spam as well, to expand their facility.

Well of course. But they could have been houses or actual business. I mean there was a burger place, one of the only two left in the country, got torn down and a car wash replaced it. The area was big enough for two or three houses or another business(s). Instead it’s a car wash that I never see anyone at. And this wasn’t like a really great place per say but it was a third space for bike and car meetups. I was trying to reference that those spaces could easily provide housing instead of something useless.

You nailed it. Funny how easy you picked up on certain details.

I didn’t know the lottery thing was that bad. The main issues with the proposed change is that they’re closing schools down, so the funding will likely go to some bullshit. I mean they used 55 million on fixing the stupid stadium under the guise that insurance and FEMA will reimburse the costs only for them to move to Tampa anyway—good riddance. And another fun thing I saw is that Article 3 will add in funding to fix the sewer systems… which I already pay every month with the crazy water bill. And the cheater part, yeah they don’t care. I fixed a machine downtown and the couple said oh yeah this place only cost 1.8 million. So of course the city is happy to turn a blind eye. So I’m okay with services being funded but not giving billionaires tax payer dollars for a stadium; that’s dumb and really everyone should get a refund on this expense. I got a lot of down votes on reddit for this opinion but it’s like if you love your baseball team so much, you go donate and leave me out of it.

See the problem with this, which is something on the ballot locally, is that people buy properties here to get tax exemptions and live elsewhere the majority of the time. Ironically the proposed homestead exemption will increase the amount of property tax I will pay compared to the current model; likely because they added extra fees.

This. I’m in a flood zone. The house has a cracked wall. It’s a duplex, but the water line broke on the other side. Roots are fucking the foundation. And somehow this is valued at 350k.

I think this is the right idea but there should be focus on certain things. Like say car washes. At this point we know it’s a stake to flip the land as prices go up. I live in a place where it’s not uncommon to see a car wash within walking distance from another. May as well be the car wash capital of the world.

The audacity you have to say that!
