Edit for front right, I also keep minimal keys there.

Interesting. I’m not quite sure what the laws were back in 1996, but yeah with school and all, plus the travel distance of over 30 miles, even if it was legal for me to work a few hours a day after school, it wouldn’t have been practical at all.

Still nice that he offered the job, I was trying to brainstorm and troubleshoot why my first sound card didn’t work. Turned out he got a defective batch, like 3 other customers had the same issues.

He knew I did all the proper troubleshooting already. Honestly I forget what model sound card it was, but once I proved it didn’t work, he gave me a different card that cost twice as much, for no extra money.

I was offered a job at a computer repair shop at age 14. Dude had to retract his offer when I told him my age, he assumed I was 17 or older.

Mississippi.

As a former BMX flatland rider, I’m almost ambidextrous. Almost.

But if you ask me to write my name with my left hand, you’ll get jibberish.

I only came across a spare pair like 2 weeks ago, so I totally understand the confusion.

Mildly interesting update…

I wish the glasses case was neon yellow instead, because apparently blue is impossible to find in the dark. 🤷‍♂️

What’s the opposite of congress?

Progress

I do have a bright blue case, but that’s where I keep my emergency backup glasses. That stays at home though, every time I lose my glasses seems to be when I’m staying the night at a friend’s place…

I’m known to roll around in my sleep. And I’ve accidentally knocked my glasses off of my nightstand, apparently with my blanket, and couldn’t find them for days.

On more than one occasion no less. Do you know how difficult it is to get anyone to help you find your glasses when everyone else thinks you’re full of shit?

My vision is like 20/500 without glasses.

No. That just makes me more likely to lose my glasses. I usually just wear them, 24/7…

The optional part was whether I wear my glasses while I sleep, as I usually have all my life, or place them on the nightstand…

I have to find my glasses. If your vision was so bad as mine that you can’t find your own glasses, and you’re two days out of work because they fell behind the night stand and you can’t see to find them, you’d understand…

No, eliminate the single individual that originally invented tobacco smoking. Then nobody from that point on would ever know and the problem would have never existed in the first place.

Nip the problem directly at the source ya know. Guess you’re not all that good with these sort of hypothetical time travel thoughts…

I’d add the Spanish Inquisition to that agenda. But who knows, perhaps the Holocaust might not have ever happened if the Spanish Inquisition never happened. 🤷‍♂️

Time travel thoughts bring up all sorts of hypotheticals…

Indeed. Even the late Stephen Hawking arranged his own experiment to prove/disprove the possibility.

Apparently it was disproven…

Hey hey, edibles are a thing. Ain’t gotta damage your lungs to get a buzz…

I’d find the first motherfucker that started smoking stuff, whether it was first tobacco or whatever, and get rid of him/her before anyone else ever learned of the practice/habit.

Would have been better health for countless people afterwards, if simply nobody ever knew…

Posting facts and relevant links about Elon Musk and his Boring Company’s “Not a Flamethrower”.

Obligatory Fuck Spez

Spez (or one of their admin monkeys) perma-banned me from Reddit after like 7 years, for of all stupid things, posting actual facts about Elon Musk and his Boring Company’s “Not A Flamethrower” contraption.

Wasn’t any hate speech. Wasn’t misinformation, I even posted reference links. Wasn’t anything inappropriate or gory. Just straight up facts.

That was not all that long before Elon bought Xhitter.

Gotta love the irony huh? Fuck Spez and Musk.

I had already spent years doing occasional side work with around a dozen if not more folks originally from India. Most, except the oldest of the elders spoke good if not excellent English. But there’s pretty much always gonna be at least a subtle accent, if not a heavy accent with secondary languages.

I thought I understood the fella clearly, but it was both a combination of his accent plus the strange sentence structure context that threw me totally off.

He said he was ‘updating his tiles’, but I misunderstood his vowels, so I heard ‘updating his towels’

And why the hell would he use the word updating, he was literally having all the carpet removed in 44+ rooms and having tiles installed, not ‘updated’.

So even the context clues didn’t add up, I never guessed he was talking about the tile work he had been planning for months.
