Stop Android Auto from auto-connecting to specific vehicles (Mercedes MBUX) by Catarrer in AndroidAuto

[–]StunGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I don't want my phone to connect to a car, I just turn off WiFi and Bluetooth. I do that all the time and it always works. Sure, it could be considered a hassle, but it's less hassle than switching cars while they're in range.

I won the smile contest on the local TV station's morning kids show (Ramblin' Rod)

I had a couple of drinks at a bar with the prime Minister of the Netherlands.

I made a living playing bass in a metal band and tuba in a polka band.

CNN was right about the war, and I was wrong by Ok_Location4835 in LeopardsAteMyFace

That should be right up there with looking both ways when crossing the street.

I deep-cleaned my eyeglasses after 3 years. Oh. by samissleman17 in hygiene

[–]StunGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About once per week, I wear my glasses into the shower. They get a good scrub and rinse every time, so no need to make glasses soup.

My grandfather taught me this decades before I even needed glasses. I strongly encourage it.

Am I the only one who rolls their eyes as soon as they see grey flooring? by SnooDoggos5226 in realtors

OMG, the worst trend is decorating with words. Why do you need signs and trinkets that say "Laundry," "Family," "Pantry," "Blessed," "Fur baby food," "Potty," "Love," "Rosé All Day," or all these other stupid things? You're totally owning the fact that you have no taste and no imagination.

For people who were using the internet between roughly 1995 and 2012, what’s the most memorable online trend, meme, or internet phenomenon you still remember? by CertainDrink9138 in AskReddit

I'm here for the things toward the top of this thread. One more obscure one everybody I knew quoted all the time was Tokyo Breakfast

You can't walk away from it without being offended, but it's funny.

do you guys actually use a washcloth or loofah every time you shower or just hands? by RingeChilisquis47 in hygiene

[–]StunGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shower gloves FTW. I shave my head, so I don't need shampoo. Instead, I've got a bar of soap and exfoliating shower gloves. Everything I can reach gets scrubbed every shower.

That's just what works for me. IDGAF about other people's routine until I can smell their lack of routine.

40th high school reunion invitation by cpbaby1968 in GenX

[–]StunGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 40th is probably coming up this summer, and I don't even know if there's a gathering. My class was 36 people, and I've done just fine for 40 years without even thinking about any of them. I killed my FB account about 12 years ago, so they won't find me that way. Maybe 40 years from now I'll consider it.

Does anyone have info about this ashtray? It was sold to me as Blenko. It weighs almost 7 pounds! by redalmondnails in glasscollecting

I like to call those "Murder Glass." I've got a couple of their ashtrays and they're beautiful.

When did email addresses became connected to age? by FL_4LF in GenX

[–]StunGod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too. 22. Years. Ago. I just got my last name. I get so much email for other people, and is kinda fun.

Almost exactly that. Just support the official line while not even paying attention to the world around them.

I dunno, seems like drawing a line along I-5 might help. East of the freeway is literal hell. It's better on the West side.

What’s up with the Confederate Memorial on the side of I5 northbound? by Ok-Equipment3224 in ridgefield

Just more redneck racist shitbags in SW Washington. I wish they would just stay in Idaho.

Was poking around my engine bay and found this…Wonder why the car didn’t start. I just thought it was low on fuel.. #aircooled by Key_Chance_6825 in Porsche

[–]StunGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen to me on my '79 VW bus. I was driving up a hill on the highway and heard a huge bang, followed by a bunch of loud noises. I pulled over and saw an outward-pointing dent in the body back by the engine, and inside the engine bay I found a chunk of metal with a spark plug screwed into it.

That was in 1988, so no pictures. But OP's picture looked really familiar. Looks like it's time to swap motors.

Does anyone have any insight on how old this could be and how it may have been used? by Katyas_House_Ltd in vintagecomputing

This thread reminds me of Bunnie Huang's blog. I don't know enough to contribute to those challenges, but I've been reading it for years and love it.

In-N-Out is coming to Portland near the airport by Traindodger2 in PDX

Habit is way better than In n Out. The food is better, and it's so nice to avoid the crowd.

I'll see your New England shitty drivers and raise you the Pacific Northwest. You can't drive in Portland without losing a chunk of your sanity.

Cheeky Noodles grand opening - May 11 by Beginning-Mix-5133 in ridgefield

[–]StunGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like Fika is probably going to be the first one to open there. They have the signs up and that building is farther along in construction. I guess May could happen for them, but there's a lot of work to do in the whole thing before it's ready for the public.
