I worked a clean up crew for a large college campus. One day the boss offered a case of beer and a full day payed off to the person who would clean the bottom of the elevator shaft in the exchange student dorm. The whole summer they had been dumping their garbage down it instead of bagging it and bringing it to the dumpsters. Muck boots, painters suit, and full hood ppe did very little to the smell that followed me for days.

I was not worth a case of beer and a day off.

edit! that was second worst! I accidentally inhaled a full hit of silicon fumes from a friends bong he'd just repaired. that was terrifyingly awful. I thought I was going to fucking die on the spot.

Getting to the point in life where you realize how the sausage is made, packaged, marketed, distributed, sold, cooked, consumed, digested, defecated, flushed, mixed with other waste, and either separated into solids and liquids or dumped into the ocean will do that to you.

10 lengths of 10 foot 1/2" copper pipe. when I bought it it was cheaper than now by a lot. I ended up never using it for plumbing because we went with a larger diameter and different material. Now I have the coolest patina curtain rods ever.

I look up my acct and see my deleted comments and posts being magically revived. Did screen caps of most of it and it is definitely a real thing. Is that a metric for traffic?

I found a really niche state patrol office to pay a fix-it ticket. It was on the third story of an off site parking garage for a mall type thing. With only two "visitor" spaces. There were like 4 cops in this tiny office just yucking it up when I walked in. They all did the "oh look busy now!" dance when I surprised them. I think this was one of those "put him on desk duty so he'll still get a paycheck while he gets cleared" type places. Nice enough for cops, but they had that shitty kid just got away with something vibe, bigtime.

I started doing digital design and animation at 29. Made a career out of it. I think you are safe.

wow, this whole comments thread is just like reddit. love it, keep the faith ya'll!!

brioche, aioli, siracha slaw, no table service, filthy water station, liquid smoke, slab benches, weird beer choices (blue moon, really?), sticky tables, flies everywhere...and prices that you could buy a whole brisket and a kettle grill yourself. But hey, the people making your food are wearing black gloves!

if you saw the sheer scope of trailers, campers, Tour Bus RV's, custom toy haulers etc that invade the coastal areas of where I live, you would realize the problem isn't the semantics of tow vehicle size. the whole "adventure camping" myth when two people bring a 800 square foot Motorcoach with a car in tow makes me want to vomit. its like a car brain with sepsis. leave your fucking house at home.

I'm just upbeaning everyone and everything. Not votes, not karma... BEANS: It's a Lemmy thing

if it slapped me in the face and threw the glove at my feet I would take it as an insult and demand a duel. pistols at dawn.

I read your post.

The Fast and Furious movies are science fiction movies. The complete disregard for how physics work is literally impossible visual fiction foisted into our faces against the concept of reality.

and because, Family.

I knew I should have added "3000" to the end of my lemmy name. DestroyerOfWorlds just sounds so weak now.

Maybe they noticed certain calico sea mammals have started fighting back

I got a PRS SE (after getting over the bird inlays) and the wow for the money is off the charts. I've owned strats, sg's, random floyd rose thrashers, this thing has more sound/tone range than most.
