  • ¿Por qué no dos dos?

    I’m putting a tablet in my car because I want a giant screen for navigation and engine management software. Tweaking fuel maps, reading data from various sensors like oil and intake temp, calculating MPG, etc.

    FWIW I’m not replacing my stereo and A/C controls; I need my physical buttons. I’m simply ripping out the outdated factory navigation to replace it with something modern, with more functionality that will get regular updates. Best of both worlds.

    (And yes I’m aware that Android Auto is a thing but again I don’t want to replace the stereo with a screen so I’m taking this route instead.)

    I like them cause they cook faster and crisp better than convection ovens. A leaf blower, like the other person said.

    Air fryer, automatic pressure cooker, and electric smoker: three appliances that every home cook should own to step up their meal game. Your food will taste so much better.

    (I mean you haven’t lived until you’ve had ribs that were smoked for 2 hours, stuck in the instant pot for 20 minutes, and then finished off in the broiler or on the grill. No other method tops this technique. Or birria that was pressure cooked instead of the traditional stove method. And now I want ribs and tacos birrias.)




  • The first thing I do every time I step into a hotel room is check the filter. If it’s dirty, then I bring it to the front desk to show them. I always get a free upgrade… to another room with an equally dirty filter. Which at that point I remove it and toss it in the stairwell to let it be maintenance’s problem. I can’t be bothered to put in more effort than that if the staff can’t be bothered to replace their filters.

    I don’t find it funny. All those things really happened. You misinterpreted my comment. I was saying “just kidding” to my dead dad, not you.

    I had a terrible relationship with my dad, but he was still there for me when no one else was, so I can’t hate him even if he was an abusive narcissist.

    But that’s not the point. The point is I know what you’ve been through, and I feel for you.


  • Hah, I did that for a 6th grade English project where we had to do a tutorial on something. So I chose “how to make a website” and whipped up a quick page in Notepad.

    Little did I know that the school computers were so locked down that I couldn’t even open a local file in IE (the only browser we were allowed to use). They completely disabled the open and save dialogs and even Ctrl+O. Which was embarrassing as fuck cause it was a live demonstration and 12-year-old me didn’t think to test it beforehand.

    Still got an A, though. Most other kids did dumb things like “how to tie a shoe”.
