Gross!

If you could get it on film, you might win a prize!


Thats odd. I would have thought the negative pressure would have turned you inside out or made you vanish entirely. Like creating a mini black hole.
Are you sure there are no missing limbs???

I don't think I'm missing any limbs . I should probably double check though .

I stupidly ruined an expensive ESC so either gotta buy a new one or just call it quits.

Magic smoke? No repair avail?

No, I did something really stupid. I thought it'd would be a good idea to heatshrink the motor wires and the battery connector wires to the esc, and its very likely i ruined the esc with the heat gun. I should of known better and I take the blame. With all the issues I've had it's likely that just went through my head so to speak.

Seems like escs can take a bit of heat. Maybe its not so bad. Maybe parts are avail too.

No need to be subtle any more!
They are WATCHING TOO!!!

Of course they won't use any face recognition or save any photos on file.

They can watch away, but it’s a lot like when I go fishing... they ain’t catching anything. Government ordered CCTV cameras have the resolution of a 1980’s home VHS camera with less zoom functionality than a pay by the minute android phone.

My wife decided I needed to get a colonoscypy. Yes, that's how you spell it after 6 beers. I did the prep thing last night and I'm sure some of you overweight bald guys have been through this before but I have not and I feel the need to share. I took the pills, I drank the drink right after work. A couple hours go by and I'm like wtf, nothing is happening. Long about bed time it hits me and I swear, when I sat down and unleashed every demon that has ever gotten hold of me, I literally raised up off my throne from the shear thrust created by that God awfull magnesium citrate. On the bright side, I'm pretty sure I lost 10 lbs last night.

That stuffy nose and sore throat have turned into a stomach ache. Feel like I need to throw up and go number 2 at the same time.

Oh it's that way dude. I had the same thing.

I would have agreed 15 years ago. AI, facial recog... our tax dollars are currently paying for the best spyware money can buy.
The depth this goes to is beyond terrifying.

Fun, huh?

I've had two so far... luckily you get to sleep through the violation.

 

[Doom!]

@Mrgoodwrench35 So, your not going to join the colonoscopy of the month club then?

One of the joys of aging.

 

[WickedFog]

Spent most of the day yesterday trying to sleep through whatever the hell this bug is I got ahold of just to get past the headache, only managing an hour here and there. As soon as I finally get past the headache and get a couple hours sleep I wake myself up sneezing and coughing

Thats pretty accurate.

Today is the 4th day in a row going to a funeral home. Visitation and service for an elderly aunt (RIP Molly Sue) and a cousin that was far too young (FU cancer!). While at one of the visitations I got a message that Mom's ex sister in law passed. (Loved her, mom kicked the 2nd husband to the curb but kept the in laws!).
Getting older sucks.
I think a few beers may die in their honor tonight...

Cancer is a liar and a cheat.

Sorry for your struggle and your loss.

so the street i used to take to and from work that's been under construction sense June for repaving and speed bump divider things between the bike lane and traffic is now finished. and the speed limit has been lowered from 45 to 35.
here's the kicker. its a long stretch, from intersection to riverbed where the neighborhood starts is over a half mile of NOTHING! the street runs between a park that is fenced off and the only turnoff is a fire station and right after that is one of the exits for the park that rarely gets used. there is absolutely no reason for lowering the speed limit.
and to add to the WTF, just one street over (same basic circumstances and traffic flow) the speed limit is 40. and part of that 40mph zone is a neighborhood! (the other side is park/gold course)
this is why i hate where i live. F long beach and the paste eating window lickers that run it.

Here those are the roads revenue snatches are hiding.

We have a few that go from 45, 35, 25 and a few very poorly marked 15mph school zones too.
Always find a radar gun at the end of those drops in speed.
Out of towners get nabbed ALL the time there!

A bunch of towns around here do similar.

Def about the $peeding.

I got the driver and passenger seatbelts back from being re-webbed. I chose the option to color match to the stock ones (which, mind you, are a taupe color) and well yea, these are brown . Looks like I'll be contact them.

So I guess my land Cruiser will have two brown belts and taupe for the rest...

UPDATE: I compared to the rear belts and it's actually not too bad. My panic was premature. Lol
