Oktoberfest it is, then.

I’ve started using that recently and it is very handy.

It’s probably a tie between wikipedia and flashlight.

I think The Velveteen Rabbit is pretty fucked.

Graduated in 07. Gave all of my savings to my parents in 08 so they wouldn’t lose their house. Bumbled around for a decade and a half trying to get a degree and start my career only to get shit canned from an okay paying job mid-pandemic. Tripped over my own dick in to a great paying union job. Currently working too much overtime and saving every dime I can because I’ve seen enough shit.

Is 2 hours later another time? I could use some crackhead lore building.

I’ve done that. Even though to myself “who put this apple here?” as I sat down in the passenger seat.

I was sitting in my pickup outside my apartment listening to the radio and some guy just…got in. I asked “can I help you?” and the look on his face when he realized his mistake was priceless. In his defense Lyft had just started in my area and there was only one other vehicle that looked like mine in that part of the city.

Soufflémmy

Then why is my freezer so full of giant ground sloth?

I’m only a professional scientist in the loosest sense of the term but for years we’ve tried to figure out why Joe can’t leave the break room to fart and who the fuck does he think he is?

If I’m repairing something like my washing machine I usually just hardwire stuff to the board so there’s no waiting for parts. Shopping around for connectors can be a pain but the important things to look are are pin diameter and pin pitch. Whenever I order I always get a male and female connector because the terminology doesn’t seem to be consistent across connector designs. You’ll also need a pinning tool for whatever style of connector you get, unless it uses solder cups or something.

I had a lot of fun picking up cheap electronics from Goodwill or similar stores and Frankensteining shit together. If it didn’t work I’d use that as a point to start research. Was it efficient? Probably not. Do I have a pile of furby guts? Yes, yes I do. You might have to go through several tutorials on a subject until you find someone explains it in a way that makes sense to you, don’t let it frustrate you. Good luck!

Yea, sometimes. There’s usually enough other stuff going on it’s not a problem.

I have a recording of the big machines where I work. Rhythmic clunking and whirring motors puts me right to sleep.

Either facetious or maybe they have some fava beans laying around.
