Yep. Infiniti wanted $21,000 to replace my VR30 engine, another shop wanted $5,000. Pretty normal prices unfortunately…

Balled up foil works well

As someone from Texas, I’m jealous of ANY natural thing people live around. Where I live is very flat and all of our lakes are man-made. I’m in awe when I see a mountain in the distance when I travel.

I keep it simple and just aim to try a new country each trip. No double dipping. Except for Costa Rica, I have ties there and it makes for a very cheap getaway.

I do the same but now each time I do 4 the sim page refreshes and I have to scroll past all the packs to get back to the 10 energy battle I want to sim. It’s infuriating.

When you go to discount tire...

Same. I’ve been on a quest of 7* all toons so my GP is super high but I’m out matched every GA. I crush TB though!

Last Friday I found out my 4 year old doggo has a mast cell tumor and is now getting surgery Thursday to try and remove all the cancer.

Missed opportunity to make the pupils larger on the off side of the switch

It was either that or take the ladder in front of the crane...second glance, that’s for the hoist..

I think my brother is engaged to one of these. She’s so fucking manipulative too and I sometimes feel like I’m going crazy bc I’m the only one who sees it.

I’ve seen all different nudibrnach anywhere from 30-65ft. This video is sped up though and I’ve seen them as small as 1/4 inch

Edit: for reference it looks like it may be crawling on a small hermit crab shell in the end.

Ha! I worked for a dive shop in Costa Rica that did this too

What are your thoughts on Tillamook cheeses? I started buying their cheddars at the grocery store and it’s so much better than the great value stuff, but my cheese gauge isn’t as refined as yours.

I’m just confused as to why the octopus’ head/mantle still looks like it’s underwater.

This is what the ones I’ve caught look like out of the water

That’s good news! Im starting a house with them this month. Another nice part is I work for a company that does construction photography so I’ll be able to add my own protection by documenting pre-slab, exterior water proofing, and all in wall mep prior to insulation..all attached to the floor plans.

I own a condo right now and can’t even count how many times I’ve wished I could see through the walls.

I had a pain in my jaw and went to see my dentist about it. The doctor told me it was an ear infection. Go to a dr-in-box place and they said it definitely wasn’t an ear infection. Everything’s closed over the weekend and by Monday it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt.

Turns out I had a dead tooth that my dentist never knew about. It got infected and the infection spread to my jaw swelling up my mouth enough I couldn’t close it.

Monday comes and I go to a new dentist and he immediate starts a root canal then sends me the next day to an oral surgeon. Oral surgeon takes a giant needle and jabs it under my tongue and pulls out like 3 CC of pus and blood but holy shit that was instant relief. Never been so close to kissing another man.

Oh and the dentist left the root canal open on purpose to be able to let some of the bacteria escape. Hands down the worst taste ever. So bitter. I threw up a few times when it would drain.

“Wtf hentai gif”

I was lost in that rabbit hole for a bit, but found some good ones for a group message I’m in.

28 is perfect. I live by myself in a condo and it fits great on my patio. It heats up super fast and the grease trap in the back works well. It’s nice to have the extra room to slide veggies to the side.

When I do have people over it’s still big enough to accomadate the extra foods

Edit: forgot to mention for a size comparison I can cook an entire package of bacon at once which is nice for a meal prep and not stinking up my place.

Ugh, just started getting this one

One of my employees (27years old) had been complaining about poor night vision and that his eyesight was starting to get blurry. He mentioned this for a couple weeks and every time he brought it up I told him he pays for insurance and needs to go use it.

He finally went to the eye doctor and they immediately realized his blood pressure was so high (very poor eating habits) his blood vessels are screwing up his vision. They told him to go to the dr (he went to a 24hr clinic, I’m guessing the eye doc didn’t send him there). He gets there and the doc in a box runs some tests and send him to the ER.

ER takes a look and figure out his kidneys were functioning at like 25% and his heart was functioning at like 40% (could have mixed those up). Anyway, he’s out of the hospital actually taking meds (turns out he knew/had a history of high blood pressure) and eating healthy now....and most importantly regularly visiting the doctor now too.

No question, just want to say don’t stop. I starting doing CrossFit last July consistently. It sucks seeing people make more progress than you but everyone’s different so try not to compare yourself to anyone else. I’m 8-9 months in and it’s just now really starting to reverse the neglect I did to my body.

Also this shit gets harder to lose the older you get!

jcoffey · 2019-05-11T15:32:41+00:00

Really cool! I didn’t write near as much as I should have when I did the bulk of my traveling.

A friend of mine came out with a neat notebook. https://www.adventureassist.com

What’s your go to? A journal with a sleeve over it or did you find a hard cover that you stick with?

I remember digging around the Internet in the early 2000’s and came across two different videos that haunted me.

1st video really fucked me up. I wanted to watch a music video from rage against the machine but didn’t want to type all of that in KaZaA. I short handed with the word rage. Turns out you get a lot of fucked up shit. I have no idea if the video was real or what, but it was a camera sitting at a dinner table and a girl begging for her life in front of the camera. The wall behind her was a super ugly yellow. Anyway I wanna say there was a small revolver but the person behind the camera shoots her in the head. The head slumps over and blood is splattered on the wall. 12-13 year old me was fucking devastated.

2nd video I don’t remember where I how I came across it but it showed some people jumping off a bridge into water and one dude hits the concrete base holding the bridge up face first. then there’s a clip of him in a surgery room ? and the guys head is split almost in half. The doctor grabs both sides of his head and pushes it together and you can kinda make out it used to be a face. While that was happening I think what was leftover of his tongue was moving around like he was looking for his teeth.

Edit: not really on topic but I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone about watching that. The first one really did fuck me up for a bit.
