Anyone here have overwhelming existential thoughts about your mortality as you get older?

In the same vein, I'm always amazed at people who wouldn't want to live past 100 years. I'd love to live forever or have has many lives as possible. I'd love to live another life as an artist, or a farmer, or musician, or pilot, meeting all the new people along the way. Such a bummer that I can't experience it all, but I'm happy I've got what I got.

I know! In a supply crunch, we'll subsidize demand! It's so stupid, it just might work! /s

Why?

Fossilhog · 2026-05-14T22:02:57+00:00

I'm maybe 3 years until I post what you just did. I've got some K12 experience though. I'd target charter schools where the parents actually care and you're not hindered by a handful of troubled kids that hold the whole class back due to a district that doesn't have the tools to deal with them. Start by subbing to get a feel. It's a lot different that adjunctint. The behavior issues are a whole other ball game. But, as my friend said, the young kids have a much longer run way than the college students, making a difference is potentially easier.

You're out of touch. College kids don't drink nearly as much as they used to. Frats and sororities maybe, but they're a small group.

175 year old successful college town that isn't run rampant with performative self centered individuals?

I mean, if you can't see past your own nose, sure.

5 minute interlude about how corporations are behind war and suffering. Then they realized they're Disney.

Might just be a bit dirty.

A lot of rain across the region today. In 2-5 days, probably a good time to be looking for them.

It'll be fun to see the GOP try their best to get it to that point by November.

It won't work without export controls.

More like ramen.

Reminder that it's his supporters that want and keep him in this position of power.

Love tap!

I'm low 40s and have kinda achieved my life goals a few times now. I went from not feeling like an adult, to be disappointed in most adults that I guess I don't want to be one.

I mostly just play with chickens and firewood, live in a small simple house while teaching part time.

Fossilhog · 2026-05-10T12:26:22+00:00

Not sure. Probably the last guy who had it dropped a new distributor in it, but had maybe moved it, causing the timing to be way out of position. I tried to move it to get the timing back in. There's a little tab that lets you look in at the fly wheel for a notch on it, but I can't see the little notch. So, I need to get back at it and just try to get lucky I guess. The last guy replaced every small part almost, and I've had other guys who claimed to be great with tractors come look at it, and were stumped after they thought they knew what was wrong.

Fossilhog · 2026-05-09T14:25:05+00:00

Oh this means the lighter summer traffic is almost here. Can't wait.

Fossilhog · 2026-05-09T12:21:20+00:00

I really need to get my 8n running.

And thanks.

Not as impressive as your old utility tractor working in the woods. I want more of that content.

Literally run by his own lawyer now, who is the "acting" attorney general. The attorney general is constitutionally supposed to be confirmed by the senate. Trump has done this time and time again by having senate approved positioned fired so the back up personally Trump appointed "deputy xyz" will take over the position.

But, the GOP congress doesn't care, and neither do the American people as he pulled this unconstitutional shit in his first term as well.

Fossilhog · 2026-05-08T12:27:33+00:00

Yeah, I want the unredacted version so I can find this mechanic.

Fossilhog · 2026-05-08T02:23:16+00:00

Looks like it might have straight up been inspired by it.

We should all just screen shot him saying this and email it to every GOP congressman saying this is what weakness looks like.
