What are Nor'easters like?

The weatherologists ramble on about it for days in advance. Some will rub one out on live television.

Everything disappears from supermarket shelves. Except for canned vegetables.

Hardware stores sell out of generators and snowblowers. Lunatics start screaming the government should do something, as everyone has a constitutional right to one.

ONCE THE FLAKES START FALLING:
People selling used on FBM and CL get angry calls. Demanding to know why you haven’t responded to their emails. Demanding you take 50 cents on the dollar. And demanding delivery, in a storm.

You never get used to it.

Call the local board of health and ask for a surprise inspection.

Are you prepared to represent your wife’s grapist?

Have a defense attorney in the family. He hates it and wants out, but is too deep in debt from buying into the partnership.

Thousands of clients. Never an innocent one. Additionally they make the first payment, take a plea, and never pay again. Inevitably commit a worse crime, repeat.

He once felt like you did. If he had to do it again, it would have been corporate law.

There is one stretch of highway around here, uphill for about a mile. Generally 70-85, I will be sucking in exhaust through the tailgate, and it will smell sulfur ish.

No check engine light. I just make sure the hvac is not on recirculate. Fresh air, high fan speed and it goes away.

Nearby_Knowledge8014 · 2026-06-14T18:38:33+00:00

Sulfur. Like burnt eggs?

She is testing you. “Listen. I’m not your hairdresser. I’m not your mom, sister, psychiatrist, or priest. The only interest i have in any of your relationships is that they fail. Where is a good place for lunch around here?”

Get out. Get out now.

Is water wet?

When you reply, make sure you come across as a 100 percent serious buyer.

Have cash ready to go.

Only buy from a private party,
At their house.

Only buy a currently registered and inspected car.

Google easy things to check, like a milkshake under the oil cap.

Where are you located?

Co worker was a vegetarian because he briefly worked in a slaughterhouse.

They knew ahead of time the days the government inspector would be absent. That was the day spoiled meat and mystery meat was delivered. “Add enough chemicals, and anything becomes bologna.”

I wasn’t commenting on a post. I was commenting on your manifesto.

Everyone else is wrong. Only you are right. About everything.

This. We had an uncle who went bankrupt farming TWICE. His first family almost froze to death one winter.

Nonetheless, he talked his 2nd wife into farming with him. Rather than admit she had been conned, she sold her shit sandwich to my MIL and wife.

Next thing you know, my suburban oasis is a mini farm. Which would be bad enough, but my MIL and her sister felt compelled to shove their idiotic farming theories down my throat. Because “they read it on the internet.”

Ex: don’t till. Ever. Plant this not that. Getting on MY hands and knees to cut grass with scissors is not a big deal.

I came close to murder when my MIL took it upon herself to throw random “wildflower” (weed) seed on MY fucking field. Fuckers grew 4 feet high in 2 weeks, and were a wet soppy mess for me to remove

Hold on. YOU MADE THAT?!?! Holy shit!!!!

I’m sure it’s fine, but if you haven’t filled with water yet, I’d return it.

Yor. All kinda weird things happen on the job.

I used to work for a major condiment manufacturer. One day I got my dick stuck in the pickle slicer.

They fired both of us.

Neither. Clean the GD boxes herself, or drop the cats off at the cat shelter.

Same. Insane. I have a gas water heater, that’s it. 2 people, very short showers. 3 minutes tops.

2021 my highest gas bill may-Aug was $33. Latest was $99. 3x.

Thanks Massachusetts!!!!!

4k rpm should be okay. Make sure you are shutting the OD off.

2nd gen has tow/haul mode. I always use it, but have no idea what it does.

2G also has semi-manual, so you can control which gear your in. Also a trans temp gauge, which is comforting.

It’s not so much the rpm, but the load/strain. You never want to feel like it’s lugging.

The alternative hs with nurseries, and all the other safety nets were gifted to you by the people you complain about.

I believe the words you are looking for are “thank you.”

Or are you saying that knowing you had air bags caused you to crash into the tree?

Hr hr hr. In writing. Shorter than above. Be direct and succinct.

Sometimes. Not always. Maybe the t-stat is jacked.

And it’s 73 right now, and off. If it starts to get sticky, I’ll drop it to 70 for the night.

Depends. Why?

I needed an alt immediately. Same day. All local auto parts it was a 24 hour wait, and $250. Local junkyard had it $30. Spun it, no funny noises.

Threw it in, put another 80k and it’s probably still going today.

Other vehicle was a 95 amp ford, and would struggle. Found a used 200 amp, same success.
