That’s the only reason I opened the comments… To be fair though, I think I’m gonna adopt that term.

As one of those kids, he’ll probably turn out okay. As a juror, it’s better to let a piece of shit go free than make an innocent person rot in jail.
When the kid grows up I would almost guarantee that he would make the same decision.

Fucking-eh, he made every calamity that has befallen man, yet the shits still think it’s a “good” plan.

I wasn’t a big fan of my wife proposing that expensive of a vacuum but ours has lasted longer than I thought it would. I believe we are on year 12 now and I’ve had to replace two parts (both were pretty cheap and easily found online).
We bought a Shark one when we moved and needed something and as impressive as the shark is, the Dyson can always find stuff it’s missed.

To be fair the originals were cool. A small museum in my town has one on display and damnit if those roadsters weren’t pretty cool (to me). Then the Nazi bitch bought the company and they started designing hot garbage.
- Comment on How do other countries view American super hero movie's always putting the threat in new york or whatever? Instead of their own country and have their own superheroes? 1 week ago:
There really aren’t enough international characters but you forgot Wanda (Scarlet Witch), or her brother Quicksilver. Thor seems American but is from Asgard, Professor X is British I believe, Nightcrawler is German or Dutch I think… I’m sure there are more I’m not thinking of but at least there are some.

No the seats are normal, I guess they didn’t like the cheap plastic feel for the trim (like silver-grey accents around the radio/vents/door cards) so they glued on some sort of fabric. It really doesn’t look too bad, but I’ll probably bring that part back to stock, or swap it for nicer pieces meant for the BRZ.
- Comment on Vroooooom! 1 week ago:
The BRZ was what I was originally wanting, but they all seem too expensive in my area. My wife has been driving a Scion xD for around 14 years and as her household mechanic it’s been a dream so I figured why not for the BRZ’s sister car.

I don’t really need something insanely fast, just something fun to drive lol! Sadly no drifting for me yet, I may have gotten too old for that when I wasn’t looking. I’m just glad for a no frills manual transmission in today’s world.
Mine came with an invidia exhaust and a pretty nice ingen intake… Makes it a bit louder than I like, but it sounds better than a few I’ve seen (deeper, less like a pissed off weedwacker).
- Comment on Vroooooom! 1 week ago:
Actually it was 13 years old, it was one of the 2013’s that somebody absolutely loved. They installed the starlight headliner mod, ingen intake, and invidia exhaust. It’s got the bespoke radio (sadly the 2013 bespoke that didn’t have native apps, it was powered by zypher), and the optional bazooka sub in the trunk; when I bought it there was zero base because someone tried to wire in a kicker and ended up starving the signal so neither sub was working.
The only gripe I really have with it is the black velvet like stuff they covered the interior with and the insanely worn gear shifter.

My silly FR-S is pretty fun, cheap-ish on gas, and was only like $11k with 56k miles. When I was looking there weren’t many fun electrics in my price range.

Oh my Lord… I think you just predicted dinner!

The power supply on my fat PS3 recently quit on me. It feels like the old YLOD but happens the moment the power supply kicks in instead of taking 10 seconds or so. Fingers crossed I can find a doner supply, it’ll be a while before I get to it though.

Super simple to write a script that prevents it.
- Comment on Valid point 3 weeks ago:
Oh crap, has the side part came back too? I used to hate my mom brushing my hair like that when it looked too messy for her… That being said I do miss my mom and would probably wear my hair like that if it would bring her back.
- Comment on Valid point 3 weeks ago:
Some would argue that is still a wallet, just a wallet with a magnet to attach to stuff.
- Comment on Valid point 3 weeks ago:
My thought exactly. A decade or so ago my back was hurting and I decided to try a different style of wallet. Upgraded to a better one when I realized it works for me.
Even if all I have in it are cards, id, and a single dollar bill, it’s still a wallet, just doesn’t leave me sitting at an angle. Yeah I had a Costanza wallet going on.
- Comment on How come Rugby never caught on in the states? I played in college and it's basically like football without pads. Isn't it? 4 weeks ago:
I feel like rugby is what football claims to be. It’s way more fun to watch (personal opinion).

Also, some phones have a duress PIN that wipes them.

Other forms of AC exist my friend, geothermal is a great one that would work everywhere in Europe I’ve been.

87 Oldsmobile Toronado, even the gear selector was like a boat… Best $200 car I ever had and I’d love to find and fix another.
- Comment on How come Nurses are not bound by the same rule is a lawyer is to a defendant or a wife to a husband or a priest? If someone says something on their death bed why are we suppose to report? 5 weeks ago:
Meanwhile as an IT guy I’m not saying shit about anything because I am not aware of any duty to report, obviously I would report a human trafficking operation if I saw it outside my window, but they keep us in the basement for a reason I think.
- Comment on magic 5 weeks ago:
They don’t make boots like they used too. My boots from back then (just over 20 years old now) are still in great shape, Bates made some rock solid boots back then (either that or all the polishing in basic made them invincible).
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 1 month ago:
Nah, I think that was part of the terms of Brexit, given more people in the EU speak it than in Briton they get to claim the weird spellings… At least they let the Brits keep there combined use of metric and imperial.
/s if it wasn’t obvious
- Comment on Do cops and soldiers go thru training to not freak out or get sick the first time they see an adult body? What about a kid or something? Or does it depend on the situation theie walking into? 1 month ago:
In my experience we saw lots of bodies in basic, the Drill Sargent’s seemed to love showing us videos of people being hit by 50 cals at range. That could have just been a Fort Benning thing though.
After basic I only saw dead people on the drone feeds.
- Comment on "If you can't afford to tip 40%, then don't eat out" 1 month ago:
They do make a really low base but are required by law to recieve at least minimum wage after tips. Some wait staff lie on their tips in order to avoid paying taxes on them, others lie because if their employer thinks they aren’t getting enough tips to cover their pay, that they must be a bad employee.
- Comment on "If you can't afford to tip 40%, then don't eat out" 1 month ago:
0% means something was wrong where I live (rude service or completely bad service does not make me want to pay an extra amount in gratuity), 10% has been standard as long as I can remember though (it was even part of the “real American heroes” bit from decades ago).
