$1300 for 6 months of car insurance
Yikes. I pay $1400 for six months of car insurance on two cars, both of which have comp, collision, and uninsured motorist coverage.

I’m reminded of Bender:
“This isn’t even about you”
“That’s impossible!”
Those are fine. The fucking cars are ok too, I’m just tired.
Or sn accident in a tunnel, where there isn’t a connection.
I used to work with truckers, and a LOT of them started out like this.
I used to use high-powered (4KW) lasers at work every day. Now I make 3D models and sit at a desk.
Guess which job I like more.
“I’m going to business school!”
I remember the school buses in one high school I went to running on propane. It’s not as clean as electric, but it’s cleaner than diesel… and at the time, an electric school bus would have been expensive, if not outright science fiction.
So many who think bombs are the way to go. They are not.
None of the following is a good idea, either.
Fun facts I’ve learned while working for a living:
1.) A bottle of coca-cola, or any sugary drink, will ruin a concrete pour.
2.) Diesel equipment doesn’t like water, gasoline, or eggs in the tank.
3.) There are two ends of a telephone line. One end is at the building. The other end is in a box nearby that nobody is watching.
4.) A battered hard hat, old steel toe boots, a dirty yellow safety vest, and an air of confidence will turn you invisible.
I don’t use youtube for it’s riveting entertainment, I use it to learn things.
I’ve heard the term “stimming” before, and never had a clear answer on what it meant. After taking a look through this thread, I now have yet another thing to add to the list of obvious symptoms I should have seen in myself years ago.
I have a tendency to take things apart, or move whatever moveable pieces are on something. I’ve made little toys/implements to enable this at work so I’m not just taking pens apart.
There are washing machines without anything more complex than a switch in them. If you really had a “pile of disassembled washing machines” you’d know that.
Doubt.
My electric bill changed by less than $2 per month when I installed an “inefficient” washing machine. It was so little that I’m not sure the washer was the cause. That’s $72 over a period of three years. The machine it replaced was just out of warranty and needed a $200 drain pump.
Does an old school washer dryer that runs off timer relays / knobs / push buttons really have a CPU?
Nope, it’s just a timer-drive. cam triggering switches. The physical cam IS the CPU.
We have reached a point in time where there are adults who think everything that runs through multiple steps must have a microcontroller, because only really really old machines* do without.
*For the most part. I bought a brand new whirlpool dryer late last year, and it has a mechanical timer in it.
Having a newer machine cost me slightly less money on utilities, and considerably more in washing machine parts.
There’s more to go wrong on an old washing machine and each control board was unique to the machine
What? Old washing machines just use switches and a cam that’s on a timer. Anyone who can read a basic schematic can figure out what is wrong with one.
I couldn’t imagine the stress of knowing what I know now and being sent back to when I was six years old. I’d be trapped with my parents.
I’d take the money. My wife is amazing, and we are very happy together, but a lot of things had to fall just right for us to end up together.
Lucky. For me, Gale usually doesn’t live long enough for three shots.
I’m going to download the uber app when I’m not on some miserably slow internet connection and do the math, because I’m curious if it’s cheaper or not.
Right now, worst case scenario is if I have to drive my Samurai to work. It gets ~20 mpg. With insurance and gas and maintainence put together I’m spending about $4.13 to drive to work for one day.
