Your name isn’t Santa…

WHAT?! If Santa isn’t real then how do those presents get there?? And the cookies! Where do they go??

My brother has this completely redpilled friend. He’s taken college level classes on aerodynamics and aerospace manufacturing (so have I). He’s always pointing out the contrails and saying something about mind control or Bill Gates…

I always sarcastically ask him about what other medium would he expect them to be projecting the sky on. Gets him to shut up real quick. For an hour or so… They really aren’t that bright.

DIDJA SAY SOMETHING?!!

My tiny flashlight will light up my whole yard and then some like it’s day. I do admit that’s a little bit excessive but it’s great for when I hear something out there at night. I don’t exactly live in the best neighborhood… Makes clearing the property a hell of a lot easier and when that things pointed right at you, you can’t see shit.

Even on the lower settings though it’s far better and faster than using your phone. Also I guess it’s a little bit more specific to my needs because I am a machinist, it’s a lot easier for me to just pull out a flashlight than to strain my eyes trying to see something.

A tiny keychain tape measure. It’s one of those things you have no idea how much you’ll use until you have one on you all the time.

Looking at something online? How big exactly is it? It says 16.5" but can you picture that in your head somewhat accurately? It’s just easier to pull out your tape measure and see.

I’ve also started carrying around a small flashlight everywhere I go. I have an Imalent LD70 Mini. It’s small enough to fit in my change pocket and it’ll put out a blinding ~4000 lumens on turbo (for about a minute before it gets too hot). I do admit that it’s not the best flashlight ever. It has a ridiculous magnetic proprietary charger that will short on whatever if you leave it plugged in but it does what I need it to do.

Also, this is America. I hate being the murica guy but… Other countries have these windey roads that go around mountains because they’re seen as obstacles or they just don’t have mountain ranges to deal with. Here in America we see a mountain and we see it as a challenge. We build roads directly and straight through the most convenient straight line to the next city.

Now me as a Seattle person I look at the vehicle on the right and I see a great around the town LIGHT hauling truck that would be very useful within those confines.

If I want to go beyond that like say taking the family to Idaho/Silver Lake or even Sun Lakes I’m screwed. Going up the pass with that I’d be surprised if I broke 50mph with that, the speed limit is 70. Not sure where I’d put my family during that drive tbh but let’s pretend they don’t exist… Now I’m up in the pass while going 20 under the speed limit without dieing… What if there’s snow? There’s snow for half of the year. I’m straight up screwed in that car in the right.

When I was in rehab I got a cigarette injector and would sell cigarettes. They regularly made runs to the smoke shop for us and took shopping lists. Yours may or may not but it was a good source of income and good for bartering.

Reading, drawing, playing card games were mostly how I passed my time. I’m assuming that since you’re going to rehab you know how to play spades but if not I’d highly recommend learning.

They’re of course going to give you a lot of coursework too so you can look forward to that.

All the white pieces line up for Starbucks.
