I’m a mid-career mechanic in the USA. I found my last job on Indeed.

There were TONS of mechanic jobs available in my area (Seattle). I was able to be really picky.

I’ve been using 1Password for about a year now and like it a lot

Depends on the jurisdiction. I got a decent severence and was still eligible for unemployment in WA state USA.

I love to ride and rebuild motorcycles. It’s so satisfying getting a crusty old bike and making it a reliable machine again.

It does influence how I think of myself. I’m proud of being able to disassemble and reassemble an entire motorcycle.

It’s an amazing feeling going down the highway on two wheels, knowing that the machine underneath me used to be a pile of parts in boxes.

I watched Obliterated on Netflix after taking an edible. Great evening!

Some of them have been kind of funny because the poster had some sort of decent comedic idea. I’m happier to see this type.

I enjoy these as well. There are some really good ones I’ve seen.

The rand ones don’t bother me

Netflix and Google Music. YouTube is included in Google music.

We have Prime, but the streaming is kind of secondary to the shipping.

This one made me really sad.

I loved his videos. I learned a lot from the disassembly videos.

Then he went all Covid denier as soon as the pandemic hit. I couldn’t watch it anymore

Really impressive that F9 is taking on Gore like this. They’re a famously vindictive and litigious company.

I haven’t checked, but I’m guessing EVERYTHING he says about Gore Tex is an easily provable fact.

If it wasn’t, Gore would sue fortnine.ca off the surface of the earth

I had a great experience with Ubuntu as a Linux first timer. Still using it 5 years later!

For real, internal combustion engines are made way better than they used to be. Both in terms of reliability and power output.

You can get a small, ICE only (non-hybrid) car that gets 40+ MPG. You can buy a new car with a warranty that makes over 800 horsepower.

The IC engine is at its peak. Electric is the future, but the current crop of ICE are incredible machines.

The kits that use a reamer, rubber cement, and lil gloopy rubber cords are far preferable to a “fix a flat” canned solution, both in effectiveness and in ease of replacement. A pair of pliers and a good utility knife would go along with this stuff well.

Another mechanic here, 100% agree. These things work really well.

One of my favorites when I’m sick!

Also great to spread some jam on there too

Stole soooo much stuff from work

Lots of great info here, commenting so I remember this thread!

Charging infrastructure is still pretty shit compared to refueling a gas car as well.
