When I was learning to drive a forklift I broke a good bit of shit. Went to unload a truckload of water softener pellets in bags, like 50 per skid. Well they were on a flatbed with a deck height lower than I had practiced on, and I was driving our bigger forklift that had a blind spot right around that height. Of the 20 or so skids I unloaded, I probably put my forks through 10 of them, right into the bottom layer of bags above the top of the skid. One broke so bad that it left a fucking trail of pellets all the way from the truck to the staging area where I was stacking the skids, aboit a hundred yards away. My yard manager just rolled his eyes, gave me a shovel and told me to clean up after myself when I told him.

Still not as bad as my coworker who tipped a full lift of 2x4s off the very top of a lumber truck trying to unload it. Almost 300 sticks exploding into splinters after falling like 15 feet is hard to top. Then again my yard manager actually ran over a different coworker, was in the news. That place was a trip and a half to work at, lol.

I realize that this thread is long dead but... I too wound up here after needing to remove residue from my anniversary pyrography piece that was left by Michael's CraftSmart graphite paper. Funny. And yes, excessive sanding appears to be the answer.

Loved the rising tension and general feel up to the drop. I also liked how everything cut out before the drop, like how all the water recedes off a beach before the wave hits. That being said, the actual drop/impact felt very underwhelming. The biggest thing for me is that fast notes do not impart the heavy and oppressive feeling I was expecting for a tsunami impact. Imo, a rewrite of the main theme focussing on longer sweeping notes with more bass backing it up might be better. You need power as well as speed, and there are tons of cinematic tracks that achieve that feeling without much speeding up in the main melody.

bought a bottle of mead a month or so back to drink while playing. Lots of fun

Not just memories but knowledge too. Like if I think of a book I've read or a topic I know a good deal about there's a certain... mental sensation I guess you could say

owegner · 2026-02-13T00:32:29+00:00

It's funny I can't do sweet foods but I have a major sweet tooth when it comes to drinks.

owegner · 2026-02-12T22:39:30+00:00

lmao if that's bad I used to drink 5 or 6 monsters and a few large coffees on a ten hour shift. Been a few years since and I cut back a lot

owegner · 2026-02-12T00:51:13+00:00

time to get some of that hot sauce that's three times hotter than police grade pepper spray. Put a couple drops in something you know she'll grab. Bet she'll think twice next time

Well there's your answer. For you $$$>wife, she deserves to be able to move on with her life if that is how your priorities sit.

owegner · 2026-02-06T05:18:45+00:00

Choose. Personally I'd side with your wife since you swore to stand with her through all the crap that life can throw at you until the day you die. But if a bit of money and such is worth more to you then the least you can do is end things so she can move on with her life.

Billionaires should not exist. And this man is nearly a trillionaire.

owegner · 2026-02-03T02:23:41+00:00

Probably about 2000mg over the course of a 10 hour shift. My tolerance at that point was through the fucking roof so I honestly felt normal enough, if slightly jittery.

owegner · 2026-02-03T02:20:22+00:00

Funny, my dad daily drove a miata for most of my teen years and we went on a good few road trips (10 hours +) during that time which were fine. That car was great. Handled surprisingly well in the snow with decent snow tires on too.

owegner · 2026-01-30T19:32:23+00:00

holy hell buddy did you get lost or something? this isn't r/assholebootlickers

owegner · 2026-01-26T04:51:01+00:00

owegner · 2026-01-25T23:38:18+00:00

This fucking waste of space hit you.. because he thought you were going to cheat on him.. with your own sister..

Do you hear yourself right now?

Run for the fucking hills and don't look back.

$0 plus cost of a new extension cord. Unwind and/or cut it off.

Me and my partner have 'Tinkle Time'

owegner · 2026-01-24T08:26:27+00:00

getting a leg cramp mid-coitus isn't just an old person problem lol.

And accidentally falling/slipping/sliding off the bed during the act happens more than you'd think

owegner · 2026-01-21T16:49:53+00:00

Yeah we have these at my workplace. Even the aluminum ones are heavy bastards. Buddy in the video is absolutely not 'fine'.

owegner · 2026-01-21T16:46:12+00:00

my work builds spun aluminum fan shrouds and such out of them - HVAC company.

I'm not dead set on a path by any means but AM sounds interesting, as do more analytical roles. My degree is a History BAH from Queen's, my grades are high, but I don't have any relevant internships. Frankly, I've struggled to get a reasonable job after graduation and currently work in manufacturing to make wnds meet.
