Oil change is one of the things not worth doing yourself, agree

That’s bullshit. Our Xmas is forced time off but we don’t have to spend vacation time on it.

Because they force you to take vacation over xmas? I don’t understand

Fall here on Vancouver Island. Best colours for photography. Kids are back in school and tourists are not on the island anymore so I can finally enjoy the campsites I subsidize with my taxes and never get to use.

Yeah courage is still scary and disturbing. Brilliant stuff

Still fantastic. I still watch it regularly before bed

Canada, 6 weeks plus 1-2 weeks during xmas closure plus unlimited sick days

Arguably best cartoon ever made

My dad has ran an auto repair shop for 40 years and it stopped being any sort of fun like 15 years ago.

That’s not even the biggest problem though. It’s customers and their entitlement. Worse every year.

Parts took longer to ship than promised? Mechanics fault

Car needs to go to the dealer? Mechanics fault

Something plastic piece broke on your car during disassembly because it was designed to break? Mechanics fault

Job supposed to be 10 hours labour but took you 15 because it’s not easy? Guess you just lost money helping someone cuz you have to eat the cost of those 5 hours

Depends where you live, maybe your life is just fine without it

Having a basic idea of how a car/engine works. Most people waste so much money on basic repairs they could just do themselves. Feels like majority of folks couldn’t even put on their spare tire. Plus, mechanic is job that less and less people are willing to do over time so the cost of their labour will only keep getting worse

I’ve been there 6 times and I find that theft there is almost non existent. Yes people are still as shitty as they usually are but it’s still a place with a state of trust which is something that constantly draws me back

Obviously would do some vetting though so that’s my specific question here, where are the good people at and how do you know?

Why not? We both own our properties so one benefit to capitalism I guess.

I can’t work remotely there, though, due to tax and liability reasons. And I could only stay as long as tourist visa.

Obviously trust is a big factor here which is specifically why I look towards iceland.

I would trust an icelander with my life in general but that’s a great suggestion.

No way, people commonly use that word where I live

Wait what the hell, there’s an actual anti tattoo movement in Germany? That’s legit hilarious

Dang I haven’t managed to sleep in a few days, I won’t fuck that one up again though
