Well the good news is that after I dumped a ton of money into it, it’s running smooth and still looks pretty new. It’s a Typ 8P A3 hatchback which are kind of rare here in the US.
The impression I got from the car history was that owner #2 drove it pretty hard and never maintained it. I’m dreaded owner #3.
Oh, that’s pretty sick.
I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for but what your post reminds me of is ReactOS, though that’s more of a rewrite of actual Windows than a Linux distro.
I bought a 10 year Audi for $5,000 (USD) but then spent something like $10-15,000 in repairs because I’m an idiot.
They have zero shame. Imagine arguing this and expecting to be taken seriously.
Quitting nicotine. I wanted to quit so that I could get in shape without almost dying, but after two months of rigorous exercise and healthy eating I just feel depressed, incredibly bored (the dopamine from exercise was nice at first but doesn’t really help now) and I’m now 10 lbs heavier than I was to begin with.
I feel you. My first jobs were in fast food, then Walmart, then warehouse jobs after that. So even though I’m a web developer now I still have that eternal frustration with people moving too slow.
What I always thought to be my first memory. I explained it to my mother and she said she only lived in the place I described for the first six months of my life.
I always thought it was fake because I thought it was impossible to have memories that early on in life.
That kind of phrasing always seems they assume that not believing is the same as rejecting and therefore you too believe in the existence of God/god.
They just completely miss the point.
I live in Los Angeles and I’d say that people being completely unaware of their surroundings and other people.
People don’t move out of the way unless you confront them with a loud “excuse me” and that’s a gamble because they might try to start shit with you.
While driving people don’t move to the rightmost part of the street to get out of the way while making a right turn despite the right lane (usually) being super wide to allow for flowing traffic.
When ordering at a food establishment, people don’t decide what to order before/during the time they’re in line. Instead, everyone looks kind of annoyed that it’s taking so long but once they reach the counter it’s their turn to leisurely browse the menu, ask stupid questions, etc and hold up the line.
My motto is “don’t these people have anywhere to be? Anything to do?” I’m originally from the Midwest so it’s weird to me that people move this slow and act so clueless in an urban environment.
This is tough, because I used to be there but I kind of grew out of. I just started drinking tons of water all the time and now if when I get thirsty I just crave water.
I do drink two iced pour over coffees in the mornings though. They seem to keep me going for most the day caffeine-wise, so that’s helped a bunch too.
Ha, me too! That’s exactly what I do!
I find it embarrassing to carry fast food (or any restaurant food that isn’t considered healthy) from my car to my apartment.
I work from home and my neighbors know that. I don’t get out much and don’t really eat out often either but I don’t want to be the guy that’s seen as carrying tons of premade food back home.
I know it’s rather silly.
Running a side business it’s like:
Client: Why doesn’t this work?
Me: The same reason I told you I didn’t want to implement it in the first place.
Client: surprised Pikachu face Well just do <some other hack that’s equally bad>
I thought my entrance test was far too easy, I only had to create a blog in my web framework and show doing the basics like validations, secure parameters, etc.
I learned later on that most couldn’t pass because they came from other languages and thought they could get by without knowing anything.
I already VPN 99% of my traffic out of the country and use non-US services wherever I can. When Trump was first elected I started wondering if they’re going to start a China-style firewall out of the country and it’s been in the back of my mind since.
It’s actually a pretty fantastic distribution and soothes my FreeBSD-based snobby notions of a clean, organized OS.
Can we talk about why the hell the date-time picker is not in UTC or ISO8601 by the way?? Am I the only one hacking the format to inject the time zone so the server has some type of fucking clue as to what it is? Even then you’re still screwed because DST may have changed between the current date and/or time and the one selected.
It isn’t here either. That’s over the course of ~2 years but I’m not wealthy by any means either. I’m lucky to not rely on it for work, so I can wait and take my time repairing it when needed.
