  1. Like I'm afraid. They could start with a convoy and none of them would make it to my place. Only things that are less reliable are made in England . . .
  2. Doesn't matter what's in the bin, wives aren't going to move it.
  3. Thought I finally had achieved a win, and gotten my wife to travel the path that is completely forbidden for women. No, not anal. The path to the garbage pan and the recycling bin. About a week ago, I walk into the kitchen after having been commuting to work for 7 out of the last 10 days and pulling fairly long days. Yes, I understand this is called "daily life" for most households, but as we both work from home, it was rather unusual. Sitting on the counter was 4 or 5 items that needed to go in the recycling bin. Unfortunately, they couldn't fit in the under-counter bin, as it was full, and for my wife, that's a problem that cannot be solved. I breathed an exasperated sigh in her presence, loaded up both arms, and headed out the door for the journey over Mount Doom to our recycling bin. Fortunately, I avoided all of the pitfalls of my landscaped backyard and returned unscathed. Flash forward to this weekend. We're at the lake house, and by some miracle (maybe alcohol-induced bravery?), my wife brought the full recycling bin from the kitchen down to the municipal bin and emptied it. The kitchen bin, however, remained outside. This morning, I bring the dogs out, see the bin, and bring it back upstairs. I place the bin back in it's holder, but it doesn't seat fully, as there's a can in it that my wife tossed in, earlier. I'm not sure if I count this as a win, a loss, or a draw. An effort was made, but there was still no real reduction in work for me, as I still had to walk out and return the bin, and then the annoyance of the can in the holder.
  4. Overpriced POS describes every Jeep made, IMO.
  5. What in the Rube Goldbergian hell am I looking at? I get that it's a brake master cylinder, but why the hell does it go into a manifold with a sensor in it and only two lines coming out? Only thing I can think of is that the sensor tells you if you've lost pressure in the front or rear lines.
  6. I know this is a stonk, so it could be down because someone farted in Argentina, but is there any reason not to grab more at this price?
  7. Don't (DO!) look at https://cajungunworks.com/ for some fun upgrades.
  8. Not seeing any MAGA flags . . .
  9. Two separate posts to justify your actions to the assholes of Surly: you're an asshole. Quit trying to rationalize and just own it.
  10. Yo comprendo, senor. If the new guy is leaving your mouth feeling like you're the new "girl" in a supermax, your current dentist might not be doing his job right.
  11. Shit, have you tried mansplaining to him what emergency mode is/does? Tell him to keep his f'ing hands off the thermostat and go back to making you a sandwich and opening that beer.
  12. Sounds like you may want to change dentists . . .
