The only times I'm worried about a fight is if I'm somewhere and someone with a mental illness might start something. Like the other day on the train someone was yelling very loudly to the car in general and being aggressive to people.

I wanted to do anything but fight, but I was mentally prepping in case I had to protect my step daughter. I was so relieved when he eventually went to a different car. I was even thinking of getting off and waiting for the next train.

Yep. Sometimes I can't even figure out what they pay me for.

PGE are crooks. Their entire board and execs should be in prison for the fires their failing equipment have caused and the subsequent deaths.

That said, I moved from southern California to Illinois recently. We went from 50-60 cents/kwh to something like 5 cents/kwh. I use a lot to power my servers, fans, and AC and don't fret if my bill hits $200 a month.

The concert? I dunno it's pretty close. But the company to go to the show with, that I'll fly across the country for.

When I was living in California, I had a friend text me he had an extra ticket to a Bad Religion concert in Chicago. So I booked a flight and went to see the show with him. Flight was a few hundred bucks, the "free" ticket was worth like $35.

Honestly, it was totally worth it. One of the best concerts I've been to, probably because of who I got to see it with.

Yea. All the self emptying docks make them really tall, but I'd love it if the bin was on the side and pulled out forward.

Someone should make one specifically designed to be hidden underneath shit. It's not a decoration or talking piece.

I'm pretty sure I could get usb-c to HDMI and a Bluetooth controller and play phone games on my TV with just my phone.

Mine is alright, it doesn't mao the room but kind of finds the perimeter and start to just do lines back and forth. It's nice to vacuum when I leave the house.

It's loud, but at least it's doing something if only evidenced by how much I empty the damn thing. Every couple months I have to take it and the dock out to the garage to blow it all out with their air compressor.

I do think it makes me keep shit off the floor more. It wants to eat cords a lot. I want a second one with mapping so I can have it do specific rooms and this one can get sent to the basement where it doesn't need to be as fancy.

I really hate the space it takes up, I would love one that was shorter so it could be stored underneath the side tables, or the dock and empty bin were flatter so it could be under the couch or something.

Lifetime? Dozens. Hell, I get so many free ones as swag at places it's ridiculous.

I only really wear my one pair though. It's got prescription lenses, so I did kind of splurge on that pair for something nice and would go with everything.

I really like unique or kinda of wild styles though, things that make a statement. So I'd like to be able to wear, afford, and store more. Even as a man, I think accessories round out an outfit and make it look complete. Like a nice watch, the appropriate shoes, jacket, and hat.

I used to get AOL demo CDs in the mail.

I grew up with an Amiga.

I had a gateway PC with the cow print box.

Oh believe me, I know. I've printed out hundreds of pages to put in a binder when I did my transaxle rebuild.

My trick is buying the paper with the 3 holes already punched. But almost any print shop should be able to print and bind it for you as well.

I've kind of used it, but I've found a lot of service manuals for my cars on enthusiast forums.

 

I'm planning on getting a dog soon and would love some tips and tricks.

My tip is that when you take your dog for a walk, before crossing any street make them sit and wait for you to tell them to cross.

It helped when my dog got out a few times he would only walk around the block and never cross streets or run into traffic.
