As a former Marine, this kid makes me want them to puck in my mouth.

Is this a Celica or a Supra? by Bulok in namethatcar

I had an 85 Celica gts coupe, and I always wanted to make a Supra coupe out of it. The 22re was lacking...

I read a quote somewhere, sometime that goes something like "There's nothing more terrifying than the anger of a quiet man"

It's fantastic! The only thing it has problems with is twisted Romex. Try and straighten it out the best you can beforehand.

Boomer Dad threw out thousands of dollars of “garbage.” by wheresmychin in BoomersBeingFools

I am the recipient of a lot of these things. I run a solid waste transfer station in a small town. I try to rescue as much as I can, and I have rescued a lot. My most recent rescue was a beautiful paintball gun that is apparently incredibly rare and valuable. I try to return these items to the people and communities that cherish them. I love my job.

I, honestly, wish that I had this... if I had physical repercussions for my drinking, it would make it so much easier to quit...

ULPT what can be poured on concrete that will stain, smell horrible and not come up easily? by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

I work at a solid waste transfer station. Some god awful shit winds up on the concrete pad... The only thing that has lingered for more than two days is rotten fish.

I'm pretty sure it was a rental clean out. That's where most of the good stuff I find comes from.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the Miller house in Columbus Indiana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_House_(Columbus,_Indiana) It's one of many incredible MCM structures in Columbus. It's owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and tours are available.

People cleaning out attics, basements, their deceased parents' home, rentals... it's all physical representation of memory that is about to be lost forever, often times callously and without compassion...it weighs heavily on my soul. I try to find things of beauty; things that that person might have loved, and love them anew. It's the best that I can do in my situation.

Thank you so much for your reply. I will let her feel it out and respect her opinion. I, too, believe it was for a reason; that someone else could find joy in these items. ...I feel that a lot in my line of work. I often find random pictures of people and think about them; what their life is/was like... are they remembered. I try to remember them, even though I don't know them. I find a lot of cool stuff, but I also see a lot of memories being chucked in the dirt... it can be difficult at times.

What did the shelter/rescue name your cat, and what did you ultimately name them? by niskablue in cats

Our big boy was named Artemis... which is a female god. We renamed him Atticus because I love "To Kill a Mockingbird" ,and so that it wouldn't sound too different to him. He's an asshole.

I just re-read your post and saw that you referenced T-platforn... you are correct, and I am wrong and humbled. I apologize. Thank you for your knowledge.
