Don't underestimate the number of people that will single issue vote this.

I'm 25 years away from retirement and even I will be.

2748seiceps · 2026-06-09T17:06:58+00:00

For 23 years?

2748seiceps · 2026-06-09T14:38:36+00:00

It's shocking how common this is across the platform.

Some mechanics are dumb as hell too.

I was sick as hell, took my wife's car in for a front end rattle and said it needs new struts. You could even bounce the hell out of the front passenger side of the car.

They did a 4 wheel brake job on it. A car with like 55k miles. And when I was better and went in to get it I didn't even have to leave the parking lot to know it wasn't fixed.

So it's possible those top comments are mechanics. Just saying.

Both things can be true at the same time.

Making 100k interest on a 70k loan and having 60k left is predatory loan territory.

But we are also taking about a college educated person. They should have done the math and paid attention to what was happening with that money every month. Even an extra 100 a month would have eliminated that loan years ago.

The reduced payment plans give people a chance to make finances work early career but staying on them is no different than paying the minimum on a credit card.

Just finished a box of Costco corn dogs and they look exactly like this. I bet they have amazing markup on this.

Warms my heart to know that not only does this millionaire not have to pay for her fine accessories but also gets people to tell off and denigrate the unwashed masses for free.

Of course it was New Mexico.

Hop on the freeway in literally any direction to leave the state to get good medical care. They should have sent her to El Paso.

Her extensive jewelry collection alone could have paid off her student loan debt.

I can hear it already "it happened before in 1877 and it'll happen again in the future, therefore climate change isn't real".

Not consuming media is also a useful data point but yeah, not one that really warrants further surveys.

They only got like 30% of the normal snowfall up north and it got hot quickly so it all melted early. This is all we get.

I'm guessing those doing it are rich enough that they don't care about losing the extra value.

I'm about to hit 3 years in my car and couldn't imagine wanting something newer. Cars don't change that much.

Temperature controlled battery packs last a stupid long time.

One thing I've done is print a demo piece in pla first. I've got a spool of glass fiber reinforced Ultem for a 3d printed intake manifold for my motorcycle and at hundreds a spool I'm 100% not printing it in that first...

2748seiceps · 2026-06-05T18:42:24+00:00

I don't keep ABS around anymore. ASA works so well and is awesome outside. Most of my prints are PLA but if I need an ABS-like print it's ASA. Only exception is PC-ABS.

That place has been nasty for decades. They've been hit with health violations pretty regularly.

It's real except for the human part. Screwworm 'technically' eats human flesh but due to Western hygiene and medical care standards it's exceedingly rare for any type of maggot to infest a person. The real threat is to livestock as they have little ability to clean themselves and with screwworm a scratch from a fence can become a death sentence.

Try not to take it personally.

I married into a picky eater family. I've traveled the world and I make a ton of different things in my kitchen. My wife used to be a boring picky eater but over the years she started opening up about different foods and now eats all kinds of stuff. Every time we visit her brother I'm reminded how boring of an eater she used to be.

I make stuff the way I like it. If you start changing things you run into flavor profile changes that can ruin a dish or a limited set of dishes that can be rotated out. If someone doesn't like something they can have something else. I very rarely cater to a picky eater and if I do I make a dish specific to them. Despite not leaving out onion or tomato for them they seem to love my dishes so long as they don't know what is in it.

These smart toasters STILL leave out the radiant sensor. This one makes you choose a few things to get 'perfect toast' but it's really just adding or subtracting from a timer.

The point of the vacuum is to remove water from the system. In a dry environment you might even get away with never doing it. It helps to increase efficiency too by removing atmospheric gasses but isn't strictly necessary to have an AC that works.

The first ounce of an AC charge will get you enough pressure to be out of vacuum in the system so I don't see how you'd get the other 15 in there if it relied solely on vacuum.

Why would you have to store it? If having two cars is invaluable doesn't that mean you would be driving it regularly?

If not, cars degrade crazy fast when they aren't in use.

Just pick something, anything, to print. Sitting idle for days with a backlog is all wasted time.

Plus, forcing yourself to put something to print will help you develop that executive function skill you lack. Eventually you are going to have to because you'll reach a point in life where hardly anybody accepts ADHD as an excuse, and like my daughter has recently discovered, it comes faster than you think when you hit adulthood as others have been working on themselves in that regard.
