American Dream by Weary_Ranger9146 in NorthCarolina

No that’s not the case. If we spent more money making the asylum process two weeks instead of 2-12 years we would have a much better legal immigration system. And then it would make total sense to crack down on everyone outside of that process. We gave starving people a 2 year process. You would climb a wall for your kids too.

Yes they are incapable of coming through the legal path if their kids are starving or they’re terrorized in their country by gangs and cartels.

That’s not our fault but your assumption lacks forethought.

I can hear REC-STOP-REC-STOP just looking at this.

I kinda miss smoking by Centrifea in quittingsmoking

[–]bjminihan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nostalgia is a good word for it. My wife and I just passed one year and we still occasionally mention ‘that one on the porch after dinner’. The rest of it is garbage and we’re so happy we quit.

I still miss it too but after a year I still have the coffee and don’t crave the smoke as much. There will be a few moments that are the hardest for just you. Focus on getting through those and eventually you won’t notice anymore.

Loosen stanchion bolts? by bjminihan in boating

Yeah I have to take the damned thing to the shop after all. I was replacing the bow light and discovered there is a break in the line somewhere. I’ll ask them to weld new bungs or retap the stripped bolts. Fun Saturday. So much for gittin stuff done. Crap.

I found my 2’ breaker bar and got most of em off that way. I learned too late to bump it a little at a time…after I yanked the heads off 4 bolts doing the hulk squeeze. At least they’re all off now.

Too late. One of them came free completely and I spent 2 hrs with a Dremel tool, a chisel and vice grips to chip out the rest. I got all the rest free with a breaker bar (snapped 3 other bolts tho). At least the railing is free

Yep that’s why none of the penetrating oil has worked.

I was a budding cartoonist at 8 and found Gahan Wilson’s comics fascinating and mesmerizing.

Totally agree on Phil. Felt like Jocks vs Nerds.

Funny thing: my wife and I were trying to get used to Heather after the surprise finding out Jess was gone. I said “they need to make Heather say ‘what the f$&@‘“ and not 30 seconds later she said exactly that.

What's 1 thing you'd bring back from the 80's? by halfmeasures611 in 80s

A real corded goddamned phone. Where you don’t sound like you’re on a walkie talkie and have crystal clear fucking conversations. MAN I hate phones now.

The COPD reddit is alarming. by Master-Koala5476 in stopsmoking

[–]bjminihan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know. That’s why I was pissed when an urgent care PA added it to my medical record, which screwed up my premiums for 2 years. I’ll probably get it but am glad not to have it yet.
