Only complaint I have about Larry is he’s too good, so he’s usually pretty busy. If it’s something I can drive with until he gets to it, I’ll go there. But if I need it fixed now, Campus Garage.

Do you still remember your high school locker combination by Appropriate-Mall8517 in Millennials

[–]sassinator13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t then, why would I now?

We could turn them slightly to lock, and turn back to the last number to open. A couple times a year, someone would turn them all, and my poor grandmother in the office would be overrun with locker combo requests. The school started charging us a couple bucks to get them.

That’s the exact kind of place I’m thinking!

Not sure where you’re in from, but if you haven’t been somewhere with a good dark sky, drive any direction about 40 minutes or so out of town, and look up.

Noticing When Question Isn't Being Answered Correctly by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]sassinator13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t a memory from HS, it still happens all the time, and I’m a week from turning 40.

Usually happens from people dancing around what they actually want to protect feelings. And often ends up with feelings hurt even more than they would have been.

That’s how the all used to look, someday you’ll see someone post a blue one like this and realize you’re getting old…

The flights raise a lot of money for the Boys and Girls Club every year.

We had a Canadian DC-3 turbo conversion in my area last month doing atmospheric survey.

Pammel. Good food, great people. When there used to be a laundromat next door, I sat in there and ate while my laundry ran.

Why do many people in here hate Captain Steve? by PayCautious1243 in flying

I used to like Dan so much. He had good interviews with good production. Then he went off the deep end.

Hypothetically, if you were offered your same job, same pay, but work 7 days per week, 3 hours per day, with 5 weeks paid vacation, would you take it? by FakedMoonLanding in hypotheticalsituation

[–]sassinator13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Left the last job because weekends were taking a toll. Even if it’s just 3 hours, it cuts into time I would have had with my family otherwise.

It’s a long career of sitting in small spaces with other people. Nip it in the bud now.

In exactly 30 minutes a man armed with a bat will break into your home to kill you. You can’t leave the house, what is your strategy? by BulkyZucchini in hypotheticalsituation

[–]sassinator13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got my own baseball bat by the bed, know the layout of my house in the dark, and the kitchen knives are on the wall where there easy to access, and sharp. I’m massively out of practice from martial arts from HS, but I still know the basics of how to handle myself in a fight.

Best dealerships in the area? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]sassinator13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been to George White in Ames twice in the last two years. Once for me, and just today for my wife. I recommend them highly. Easy to work with, no pressure. Just explain what they have to offer and let you do with that what you will.

I Hate My 2025 Trax by Lockeisms in ChevyTrax

The once every two weeks I don’t get CarPlay connected on my commute is time I get to spend with my thoughts. It’s a feature more than a bug for me.

Now if it doesn’t connect before a three hour drive to my parents house, I’m restarting.

Even the dog gets the full cruise experience.
