Bullitt
American Graffiti
The Italian Job
Gone in 60 seconds
Vanishing Point
The Getaway
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry

All good movies for car guys. The chase scene in Bullitt is still arguably one of the best action scenes in Hollywood history in my opinion.

I quit my job two weeks ago and I'm about to move two states away, so I'm sitting here drunk after 13 days straight of being unproductive and playing games being a degenerate knowing I will most likely get hired the first place I apply to. Gonna go fishing when the sun comes up.

I've been offered a job literally every single place I've gotten an interview in my life. Maybe I interview well, maybe I only apply for jobs I'm overqualified for and don't demand enough money. idk...but I'm not stressed.

A decade ago I considered bethesda/rockstar two of the best developers in the industry because of skyrim and GTA....I'm still waiting but now my back hurts and I barely play games anymore because I'm an old man.

Its stupid because government regulations have essentially made it less desirable for manufacturers to focus on fuel efficient hybrids, which would make way more sense for those who need more range without worrying about charging stations. My first car was a 1987 Honda that got 40mpg, its amazing how few cars 35 years later do better than that. (Obviously safety equipment has made cars heavier)

Lol, wait till you see the credit card balances people who make $60k+/year make

Mine is at about $480 since the start of the month

You knew from the trailer exactly what you were getting yourself into.

I thought it was ok enough because it's exactly what I expected. It's a B rate movie that I mostly watched because I had nothing to do and was in the mood for a cheesy comedy.

She said winning it. If she had actually said the correct answer I'm sure you'd see a much more confused look on her face when it was revealed, even if she was too emberassed or confused to protest it on the spot.

You spent more time outside as a kid and you were more fascinated with bugs so you went looking for them.

There are still plenty of bugs....just fewer bees.

Legal mandates for gas mileage. Auto manufacturers have to hit average X mpg goals for their trucks. The easiest way of doing that is to build SUV and crossover vehicles that count as "trucks" as they're defined by the laws, thus raising the average for their truck fleet.

I liked them when I was in fifth grade.

Don't think I've listened to them in almost 20 years though. They go along side smash mouth and bare naked ladies along with other stuff that I occasionally remember "oh yeah, I used to like them".

I understand the instinct to direct her anger at these people for not tipping better but the real culprit is her employer for not paying her better so she doesn't depend on tips to live
Fucked up how it turns regular people against each other

Have you ever worked in a restaurant? Because when I was in highschool, I know the waiters/waitresses where I worked damn sure made twice as much as the cooks/dishwashers in the back. And then didn't claim all of it come tax time. I have a hard time feeling empathy for people living off of tips. Unless you're just bad at your job or in a real shitty neighborhood, I don't buy a single person working in a tipping industry acting like they're underpaid compared to so many similar skilled jobs.

My dog was asleep in my room (south east corner of the house) and heard/smelled the neighbors cat come up to our porch on the north side of the house.

Their senses are on another level.

I wouldn't buy it, but if someone offered me one I'd try it I guess.

Civilization 6

got over 20 hours since picking it up over the weekend so already worth the $6 I spent.

Volume. The quicker they get you a deal you can afford, the quicker they can move on to the next customer. They don't want to waste time with something you may or may not buy. They want you to sign the paperwork and be out of their hair as quickly as possible.

Just fingers and toes, never anything major. Usually something stupid like just stubbing my pinkie toe on a table leg in the middle of the night. I've broken my pinkie toe on my right foot twice that way.

Another toe on my left foot was broken while wrestling with my brother when we were little. Broke my left thumb doing somersaults or something like that when I was in fifth grade. And I'm pretty sure I broke my ring finger at work a couple years ago when it got stuck between a pulley and a metal bar but never got an x-ray to check.

Why did it say TIM BURTON'S Nightmare Before Christmas on my VHS cover?

It is very much a Tim Burton movie. He just didn't direct it. It's still his idea, story, and what he envisioned the characters to look like.

I haven't had mcdonalds breakfast in years but I can't imagine its anywhere near that expensive here. I'm also in Ohio.

All their normal meals for burgers and fries are still around $7 to $9 and I thought their breakfast menu used to be cheaper than the lunch menu.

I named my first dog Danny because I liked Danny The Champion of the World so much when I was a kid. I read a ton of his books growing up.

9yr old me calls this GOAT tier. Anyone who rates it less than 5/5 is a loser with poo poo breath.

Robinhood not giving me shit for my dividends because I didn't sell anything last year. I live by the motto of "do close enough" on my taxes. If they audit, I'll pay what they tell me because it's too annoying to try and gather everything on my own.

Tell your neighbor that the next time there's a cow in your yard, you're eating steak for two months.
That won't happen again.

I've actually gotten 3 free cows from him. Butchering a cow is more work than you think. And it easily lasts closer to a year. (I've lived next to him for nearly 30 years as I'm currenntly living in the house my parents bought when I was in kindergarten)

Got a mason jar full of hooch (basically apple cider with cinnamon and everclear) from a coworker. Currently resisting the urge to text a cousin and tell him he should come and visit because we haven't hung out in a few years.

cows are fucking stupid. My neighbors cows occasionally escape because one of his hands doesn't latch the gate properly. I don't need them tearing up my lawn anymore than it already is.

Also, they go to where the food arrives twice a day. They wont leave the farm to live with wild animals. Cheesy photoshop aside, this is just all around boring and lame.

I'm 33 and anytime a back ache or knee injury takes more than a week to heal, I suddenly feel old.

That and coworkers who aren't old enough to remember 9/11.

seems easy. mow the lawn and maybe the occasional repair. had to help get a repair done on the toilet when the upstairs was leaking water to the downstairs.

learn something new on things that could happen.

You underestimate the amount of bedbugs and dirty conditions many people live in.

Commercial work is 100X more relaxing than residential. The repairs might be the same, the experience is not.

I have a rwd company vehicle and there is ice/snow on the roads...no shit I drift that bitch.

Fuck that shit.

I do commercial hvac and we have a contract with a couple of apartment buildings. You couldn't pay me enough money to go into some people's apartment. I sure as shit wouldn't want to do full time apartment maintenance.

Cheap and convenient. I use both regardless of their shady business practices.

It was very "meh". Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I would watch a 2nd season if it wasn't for the new password sharing taking away my membership. I haven zero desire to sign up and pay for my own account. Bakc to consuming 90% of my media from youtube/twitch.

spent like $400 on a fanatec steering wheel setup for forza in the xbox 360 days...and they never released a firmware update to make it compatible with the xbone. So I basically only used it for a year.

It's not great, but it was better than I expected...not that it's a high bar to beat. Leia was fine and even the younger kelso and neighbor girl started to grow on me by the end of the season. I do find it odd how it's that 90's show but most of the clothes and sets still look like they're straight out of the 70's. Obviously the kid actors are bad and we're all mostly there for nostalgia vibes, but it's not even a 90's show other than a few refrences here and there.

2/10 show without nostalgia goggles
4/10 even with rose tinted glasses

In general, yes.

However, google also purposefully suppresses certain searches to combat misinformation or unsavory images. For those, you gotta go to bing.

good for her

me too

Pro second amendment
religious morals
believing they lower taxes and spend less money
more likely to secure boarders and enhance national security
etc.

Im not saying theyre right on all on all of those beliefs, but there are plenty of reasons why someone can justify voting republican without be evil, homophobic, or racist. It just depends on where a voters priorities are. I know a lot of people who are single issue voters and will only vote GOP because they dont want more strict gun control laws even if theyre pro choice, pro gay marriage etc.

I like living in the middle of nowhere but my job requires driving to more commercial/industrial places of business.

Other than English, I would say math is the skill I use most. Yeah, I don't need to know y=mx+b or the quadratic formula, but I frequently find the area of a square, use pythagorean theorem, etc.

If there are other cars at the intersection, then I come to a complete stop. If no one is around, just slow down enough to look each way and roll on through.

Does Tennessee count? I just like mountains and lakes. Avoid the people.

I don't want to call you a liar, but I am going to trust the gun store owner who is selling the AKs

Google (and literally anyone in the US who has bought from a licensed dealer) can tell you that he is correct. They run a background check before they give you the gun.

I thought this already happened a very long time ago.

He's done some races here and there for years just as fun. I don't think he has ever run a full season trying to actually be competitive, at least not in any nationwide sort of organization as far as I know. But that picture looks to be from the celebrity race thing they did a good 10 years ago.

My phone is old and the battery is junk. So I charge it multiple times a day. It's not uncommon for my battery usage to be over 400% in a day.
