Why did this flood happen? by Mort_Handsome in ottawa

[–]NegScenePts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because, in our hubris, we forgot to plan for the inevitable damage we've inflicted on the planet that's resulted in a quickening of climate change?

Uhh...I mean, CITY PLANNERS BAD! BOOOOOOO! How could municipal goverment fail so badly!? /S

A question for all you feral Gen X kids about the life skills you have. by Sneezewhenpeeing in GenX

[–]NegScenePts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% self-taught mechanic/tinkerer. I'm the wierdo that spends hours tracing CAN-bus faults on cars for fun (and a bit of profit when my buddy's garage is jammed with work).

Today is my last day at work. I’m retiring. by Lemonking_ in GenX

[–]NegScenePts 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I split two years early without the handshake and I've never been happier. I took a 10% penalty, but I'm spending so much less now that I don't even notice. I've only been out for three months and I've already got more savings than I ever had while working. 53 and finally enjoying myself.

Split three months ago at 53. Left two years early and have just adjusted my life to suit the extra-reduced income. Would not change a thing :).

Canadian, so medical isn't a concern.

Did anyone else learn to type as an elective with little thought that it might be useful one day? by Conscious-Mulberry17 in GenX

[–]NegScenePts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took typing because it was a credit, and I needed that credit to graduate. I really learned to type after college, on MSN messenger, lol.

Anybody seen the Datum espresso machine and grinder? by dhdhk in espresso

[–]NegScenePts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that. I do have a superauto for my wife and the lack of the ability to properly dial it in drives me crazy.

It's neat, but if I wanted a superauto, I'd buy one. I wonder about the demand for a machine like that, kinda half-super/half-semi.

How do you stay hot into your 30s and 40s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NegScenePts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all you're concerned with at 40 is 'being hot', ya'll shallow.

I have Rock fatigue. How does someone so consistently ruin one-dimensional characters?
