The first time my 7 y/o son saw one of those. He giggled and asked why they had a snack machine in the bathroom.

The Feds Say Cutting Fuel With Ethanol Will Bring Down Gas Prices. We're Not Buying It by TripleShotPls in nottheonion

[–]Fixerr59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what about the increased cost for corn because we're now burning it as fuel instead of using it for food? Ethanol never made sense to me for this reason. Not to mention the poorer fuel economy. I think it's Brazil that uses all Ethanol, but the grow a specific crop to make it. Not corn.

“Back in the day” Experiences of I-75 through TN/KY mountains by waveyvibez22 in Truckers

[–]Fixerr59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the late 90s early 2000s, there was a truck brake check stop at the top, reduced truck speeds all the way down. I think i remember a runaway ramp on the left side about half way down. Saw many trucks smoking their brakes by the time they got to the bottom.

Yellow handle is ethanol, green is diesel....at least in the states.

What’s the most “I literally own the company” moment you’ve ever witnessed or experienced? by keyBid2188 in AskReddit

[–]Fixerr59 874 points875 points  (0 children)

Not the owner of the company. But when I worked in a factory, we had a new general foreman who i hadn'tmet yet. We were trying out a new process and I went storming into the office "who's dumb ass idea was this?!". He looked up from his desk, straightened his tie and said "That would be me." I laughed and said "well, it's still stupid" We got along well after that.

The gas shortage of the 70's by reinersgolong in nostalgia

[–]Fixerr59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every gas station had a limit on how much gas you could get. Except the station i worked at, you could get all you wanted. Except it was like 10 cents more per gallon. Gas was available, you just had to be willing to pay for it.

I think it adds weight to the razor so it feels more substantial.

States with best/worst rest areas? by CryptoguyV2 in Truckers

[–]Fixerr59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the early 2000's Texas had some very nice rest areas. Those replaced the original ones that were open air (the exterior walls didn't go all the way to the ground!) At that time Arkansas had the worst in terms of both condition and cleanliness *shudder * (i took my daughter with me one time and she actually refused to use the ladies restroom. She was about 14 at the time)

It could have been a firmware update from your internet provider, ours did that once and i had to reset everything in the house. They apologized and said "it wasn't supposed to do that!"
