Somethign as expensive as an IPhone should be classified as a "durable good," like a dishwasher or a stove, and not be expected to be replaced ever couple of years. Also, Apple should understand, really understand, that very few people want native AI on their phones, and will stop buying them.

The worst part about having a minor gas leak in your home that you refuse to fix due to an ongoing, morally justified, but nonetheless sexually charged, dispute with your neighbour is that it really colours how people judge your takes. They're prejudiced against new ideas you or your cat suggest.

The bullfrog in a tweed suit whose land I live on, came by to tell me they were busy planting this year's carrots. He proudly told me he still employs two gardeners, as his father did, though "only one maid." He then observed the rising spring sun and said "it's all diminishing."

and just like brakes, it's 1000x worse in the midwest, every fastener looks like it belongs on a well-rusted shipwreck.

if it wasn't for the fact that they took a big chunk of the downpipe along with it, they'd have been doing me a favour, I'd been procrastinating about replacing the cat anyway.

I will never stop being delighted that they took the most lightly scaffolded of my top ten brooding sci fi coat guy characters and made an hbo level show centered around giving him some more fuckin coats to wear. I deserve this

if star wars happened now anakin would have been a podracer mechanic youtuber. "hey guys welcome back to the channel today we're gonna be taking a look at the new 620c engines from Radon-Ulzer Repulsorlift" that's what he would have been like

the copper theft situation is bad enough that my city has a whole web page about it, complete with half-hearted expectation-setting about how it might take a long time to get it fixed because wire is being stolen faster than they can replace it. grim.

thinking about this and also how due to rampant copper theft, my block hasn’t had working street lights for the best part of a year.

XJ moment: a whole pre-bent front pipe is only $60 shipped, at that price it’s not really worth trying to save the one that’s on there.

Even with a new cat and all the hardware it’s not going to be terribly expensive, just a tremendous waste of my time. I hate doing exhaust work 🀬

In a way the joke’s on them, that converter was on death’s door, the insides were all breaking up. I was just waiting for it to actually fail before I replaced it.

But they butchered the front pipe in the process so now it’ll be unnecessarily difficult to put a new one in.

A view of the underside of my Jeep with a massive gap in the exhaust where the catalytic converter should be.

The hero's journey circle but it says THE FOOL'S ERRAND and the guy on the top has a little jester's hat. Stages are

Opportunity to gain
Supernatural prank
Unheeded Advice
Slip 'n' fall (intensification of error)
Helper (who always lies)
Old man (mistaken for wise)
Helper (who also always lies)
Hall of mirrors (confrontation with the self
Stumbling through the thorns
The Unforgivable misunderstanding
Rejection of the goddess
Coming home before he's supposed to
