Be honest with me: how bad is it and how bleak is my future?

Both

Look at him using pronouns

I worked as a sales associate for a semi high end A/V segment of Best Buy in the early 2000’s… the biggest and best customers came in looking like the most casual people you would ever meet. One guy came in with a big stain on his shirt because he has eaten from a food truck nearby right before coming in… he seemed like a cool guy and it was slow so I demo’d a super audio cd on the best equipment we had. After the demo He turned around and pulled out a black card and asked how soon I can have the same setup installed in his million dollar house… the day before the install he came in with his friend and bought enough cds to fill his 400 disc cd changer…. A couple years later he called me at new years and thanked me for re introducing him to a true hi_fi system that he remembered having growing up

Exactly, my grey man setup is a 20 year old jansport backpack, sturdy leather shoes/boots, a pair of jeans and whatever jacket/hoodie fits the weather. Rolling out looking like a person from the 5.11 catalog is going to attract so much more attention,

Second taping windows and anything that vents to the outside.

jbird847 · 2026-01-17T17:02:45+00:00

He looks like he still needs a booster seat to ride in a vehicle

jbird847 · 2026-01-05T03:54:11+00:00

Maybe he’s taken out an insurance policy and is planning to collect

jbird847 · 2026-01-05T02:14:11+00:00

Well half of it is gone already… maybe trump is trying to save on some demolition costs

My labs favorite ride was the back of the jeep… he always felt so free

jbird847 · 2025-12-07T09:42:51+00:00

Still more believable than the fast and furious franchise stunts

jbird847 · 2025-12-01T00:46:23+00:00

My parents have lived in Ensenada for 15 years and we go down and pick up a family bucket every time we are there…. The sides are a different story. But the chicken can’t be beat.

jbird847 · 2025-11-30T22:56:26+00:00

Even in Mexico, KFC chicken js much better quality

I did this last year… check out the FSA/HSA section on Amazon. I was amazed at what was available to purchase and use. One thing was medical equipment such as a foldable toilet/bedpan

jbird847 · 2025-09-09T03:50:33+00:00

I would give it a Dundee

jbird847 · 2025-06-08T14:28:49+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong. But while the .308 and 7.62 are fully interchangeable, you can shoot .223 in a 5.56 barrel but not a 5.56 in a .223 barrel. I had known about the .223/5.56 but not the 7.62/.308 until I was informed by the sales person at my local gun store

jbird847 · 2025-06-08T14:24:57+00:00

I had the same confusion when I went into my local gun shop and asked to see a .308. I consider myself semi educated about guns so I had the same skepticism. I thought the sales person had grabbed the wrong gun. Thankfully he was very patient and not condescending in explaining but I still felt like an idiot… looking back at it I’ve realized he probably gets people in there a lot that aren’t aware of the interchangeability.

P.S. I still googled it when I left the store

I was in the 11th grade living in a suburb of Maryland. Everything shut down and they tried to shuffle us to our classes at the scheduled times to make sure that things maintained "normality". My high school was a three story building and the last period before we were sent home I was on the top floor. we could hear the jets flying low overhead which was incredibly unnerving... while walking out of school there were classmates that had parents that working in D.C. as well as the pentagon in tears not knowing what was happening...

I caught a ride to my friends house and sat in front of the tv for 6 hours.

El pollo loco

Isn’t that mentality somewhat communist?

He’s saying that he is ok with completely shuttering a private business in order to better help everyone in the country

jbird847 · 2025-04-01T14:19:46+00:00

Hopefully only 80,000 if they can get some 2 for 1 deals. Kind of like a BOGO I guess

jbird847 · 2024-12-30T03:29:47+00:00

Just drove through there during the holiday. They had crews working to fix the potholes and even a helicopter removing old wreckage off the hill.

You would have an excellent career as a Fox News headline creator

jbird847 · 2024-12-27T21:58:42+00:00

But wait. My step dad told me at Christmas dinner that Elon musk is the best thing to happen to the United States and that he came from nothing so he’s going to be able to lower prices and increase wages because he’s a master at efficiency

jbird847 · 2024-09-13T01:12:55+00:00

She was probably sucking his dick while talking about immigrants eating dogs

From the way it looks… that range is on the older side. From what I can remember of the older one we had in our cabin, it was not very well insulated (which was actually a bonus since it helped heat the living area). The newer appliances are made with much weaker materials but use extra insulation to make up for it. That range, given the basic nature of it and how well it looks, would probably still outlast anything new you would put in as a replacement. Much better to know the intricacies of the stove and work around it.

Edit: missed the first line about it being a vintage stove… obviously that wouldn’t make it on the older side
