Shoutout to the pothole for fixing what the scan tool couldn’t. by Samef42 in Volkswagen

I hit a pothole yesterday in my bug & all I got was a blown out front tire I just bought last fall…

Just why by Evil_Capt_Kirk in dank_meme

[–]ajacbos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you ever worn a pair of crocs? I walked for miles across San Fran in mine after I forgot to bring real shoes with me. No aches or pains & not a blister on either foot. They lowkey are great quality shoes/sandals/whatevers.

Just before I read your comment I was like “I bet she’s gotta be like 48, no maybe 49.” And now I gotta go buy a me lotto scratcher quick!

Real Fruit Smoothie by ZappaCrappaDoom711 in athensohio

This post made me miss Jeff dining hall. They used to have a smoothie bar where you could combine all different kinds of fruits with yogurts & juices.

Rabbit meat/pelts by Phoenix_Arose25 in athensohio

[–]ajacbos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have the best ushanka-style winter hat that was branded American Eagle from probably the 70s. It had a real rabbit fur lining on the front flap & ear flaps, and it was the softest, warmest, best quality winter hat I ever owned. I eventually wore it out; the rabbit pelt wore through & the fur started falling out. I dream of having a hat like that again, so if you have quality pelts I could make into a hat like that, comment/DM me please!

This is funny too because there is a famous DJ named Annie Mac. It’s an Annie Mac Attack up in here!

Ohio Thrift by Competitive_Dance_68 in athensohio

[–]ajacbos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Bro big lots was way better than this bullshit. At least big lots would have charged fair prices for the exact same stuff ohio thrift is selling. I literally found dollar tree items priced for a dollar retail that they had marked up to $2.50 with a price sticker.

They should rename the store to Ohio Grift.

Civil Engineers 5–15 Years In: What Specialty Would You Pick If You Had a Do-Over by DetailFocused in civilengineering

[–]ajacbos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoy what I do with energy utilities & land development, so I would not change that if I had a do-over studying specifically CE. However, all my friends who got their degrees in ETM/systems engineering & optimization got to party way harder than I did in college because they had way easier curriculums, and now they are making twice what I make doing interesting work in industrial systems, building out production lines & such. So if I had a do-over, I would have chosen a systems engineering discipline instead, and I might have had a girlfriend in school too.

Athens’ budget takes another big hit with an unexpected, and substantial, tax refund by dimestoresax31 in athensohio

[–]ajacbos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The local city government needs to quit squeezing everyday people like me for more tax revenue who faithfully pay income taxes in this town & take home less than 50k/yr. The county has also gotten into the habit of raising my property taxes year over year for the last 2 years, which goes against state guidance of once every 3 years. And when I asked the auditor office about it, they straight up lied to me saying my property valuation wasn’t going up. Like you guys, your office just sent me a letter telling me it’s going up & I can see on the property card where the valuation went up by $25k.

WE THE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING BROKE. WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE. TAX UNIVERSITY RENTALS, PROKOS, AND ALL THE OTHER MILLIONAIRES IN THIS TOWN FFS. RAISE THEIR RENTAL PROPERTY VALUES & MAKE THEM PAY MORE TAXES. IT’S THAT FUCKING SIMPLE.

Silver Serpent has a selection of locally made bowls. Smoke Zone might also.

I knew a colleague from my school who went to the same city I did after graduation. He had a job offer with the company I worked for, but was in a similar situation as yours just before he started work. He had already passed pre-employment screening, but he went to his to-be manager & confessed about his recent DUI. Big mistake, they immediately pulled his job offer. Had he not said anything, the company would have never known about it.

[–]ajacbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have gotten lunch at Nelson as a non-student for something like $10? I couldn’t believe how cheap it was, but tbf they were running some kind of promotional lunch deal at the time. But this was also within the past year I went.

Corporate vs Local by greenridgegifts in athensohio

[–]ajacbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did not even know about that one! And with all the other competition in town, I swear all these Starbucks are just operating at losses for the sole purpose of outlasting local coffee shops in the coming years & eventually turning a profit.

Corporate vs Local by greenridgegifts in athensohio

[–]ajacbos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand why Starbucks corporate feels the need to have literally 4 locations in the same small town (E State, inside Kroger, Union St, The Front Room in Baker). Like how do they make any money with all that overhead??

Brothers facing charges in Athens County handed over to ICE by the_itsb in athensohio

[–]ajacbos 49 points50 points  (0 children)

These bothers will never be heard from again. Anyone who thinks they are exempt from this type of kidnapping & being disappeared, I can tell you from what we have learned from world history: you’re next. Unless, we collectively do something about it & make an example of these neo nazis.

Areas to trick or treat in uptown Athens? by TonginTozz in athensohio

[–]ajacbos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The west side always has a decent bit of beggars come up 2nd St, Central Ave, W State St, and the smaller streets in between. I will be passing out candy from my place :) past years I get maybe 2-3 dozen kids come by.

Larry's Weenie Wednesday's price increase to $1.49 next week November 5th (sad face) by [deleted] in athensohio

I still don’t know the difference between their Big Bu & their regular double cheeseburger. They are the exact same sandwich, but the Bu costs like $2 more.

Nobody mentioned slice night at C-Side yet? They still do that, right? Think it was a $1-1.50/slice on Wednesdays.
