Sounds like a neat gig! Killin it 😁

where is the cat? all I see is a bunch of oranges

YOU GOT A JOOOOB!!!
fuck that’s hard to do, congrats my guy!!!

reminds me of finishing exams and watching everyone around me party and celebrate being “free” meanwhile I’m like “HOW DO I EXIT CRUNCH MODE PLS HELP I HAVEN’T SLEPT IN DAYS”

Edit: Found one!!

Drawback is it doesn’t seem to support adding settings at the end of the string (e.g. &category_general=on&language=en-US&theme=simple)

when I was a broke student living in a studio apartment with no built-in I got me a countertop dishwasher that plugged into the sink with a quick-release hose and that was $200 well spent (got it secondhand, new ones can be a bit pricier)

I had it on a metal rack next to the sink because my countertop space was nonexistent lol. A lot of people put them on rolling racks so they can be moved elsewhere for storage

Yep, first gen

I loved my Pebbles but the reason I owned 2 was that the first one’s screen degraded after like 1.5 years and the second one degraded after about 8 months

If it had better longevity I’d still be using it

there goes my fuckin username…

eggs and nothing else certainly does

that… seems like it would have lasting implications for the self esteem of the kids depending on whether they were branded “smartest” or not 💀

It’s probably a difference of ~20¢ when I fill it yeah, lol. And doesn’t seem to be causing any knocking or other ill effects so no change at worst and real/perceived improvement at best yeah

I keep going back and forth about whether I’m imagining it gives better performance or it actually does 😅

I vaguely knew “higher octane” didn’t mean higher percentage of 8-C hydrocarbons but definitely believed the misconception that it was higher energy density. Hm.

It definitely doesn’t have much in the way of sensors (though it does seem to adjust the idle speed in cold weather through some mechanism). It has spark plugs and a carburetor so no dice on coil on pack ignition or fuel injection.

The mechanic I took it to did say he thought it would run better in cold weather with higher octane fuel but didn’t elaborate.

I would never! Just sayin I love it 😁

Hi I’m a weirdo who lives in a Philadelphia suburb and whose main transit mode is 50cc scooter (even in this fuckshit cold ass weather).

Some advice:

• practice tight and quick turns without tipping over
• wear helmet and high vis always
• ride like you’re invisible. assume that nobody sees you
• wear bandana/scarf tucked into bottom of helmet & collar of shirt/jacket. insects can get sucked up into your helmet otherwise…
• get anti fog helmet shield and if you wear glasses get some anti fog cleaning wipes
• get a cover and use it (i store mine in the seat trunk)
• make sure you know a mechanic who can work on it if you can’t do it yourself
• have backup transit for dangerous weather (I’m lucky to live in an area with bad but usable public transit and Lyft)
• don’t underestimate wind
• put high octane gas in it. it’s such a tiny engine that the extra energy density makes a noticeable difference in acceleration

I spend $2/week on gas, $240/year on insurance, and have spent less than $200 on mechanic’s fees (oil changes, etc.) in 3 years of owning it. I have been crushing my debt with the money saved not having a car. It’s a powerful way to save money if you’re willing to sacrifice comfort, item/passenger transport capacity, and to some extent reliability

+1 for D&Dads
i freakin love season 3 so far

WTYP 🤜🤛

I prefer to wash the bath towel after 1 use but my fucking landlord raised the price of a wash and dry by $1 each so I guess ideal hygiene is the newest addition to the “rich people only luxuries” list

oh also the dryer is locked to low heat and doesn’t even get towels fully dry
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

and yes I checked to see if I could access maintainence mode on the washer via key combo… no luck :[

3 wall bed gang 🤜🤛

fixed it
