Unless you're running a apple router and no longer have an iphone, then its a really cool looking jackstand.



*I may or may not have used ours as a jackstand to slide an arm under the washer to fix a leak.

Never trust the Modem/Router/WAP combos the ISP offers you. They tend to be really lovely quality

I bought it myself years ago after the ISP one took a poo poo. I think it's a Motorola SBG6580.

I know that feeling all too well man. I've basically given up on dating at this point, and have genuinely started referring to myself as undateable and not worth the effort. Self esteem issues ahoy :v:

It also probably doesn't help that I refuse to ever take myself or life seriously, and i'm basically in permanent sarcasm mode. Oh, and the horrible teeth.

'Sup, me? I've stopped caring, it's just one small aspect of life and reading some of the shitpiles the universe has dumped on a lot of people here I'm not going to complain about it either. "To love another first you have to love yourself," and that ain't happening...unless that quote was originally intended to be a masturbation joke. You should fix your teeth though, they're important :q:

So it's worth it to buy your own modem eh? My ISP decided to add another 'because we can' charge for the privilege of using the same POS modem we've had for 10 years and they're reasonably priced on Amazon. I'm assuming there's some kind of 'accepted models' list too that I'm sure won't change at random allowing them to reapply the charge.

Did everything by the books I think.

Braked for someone in front of me making a right. It's habit for me to look in my rest view when I brake decently so I can get one last look at the thing that's going to kill me. I see her flying at me. GF says I said "you mother fucker" right before the other car hit me.

I see them pull into a side street, I follow. I check with them and us to make sure everyone is OK. I call the cops. I call my insurance. Cop gets there, takes our statements, writes the other driver a citation and bounces.

Really don't want it to be totaled.

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

The golden rule in aviation is to never discuss politics with the guy/girl beside you. Even if you're best friends it can make for an awkward rest of the trip. This also applies in any other line of work just as equally.

As for dating advice, people are drawn toward the confident, both men and women alike. If you aren't confident in who you are, not only will success in relationship be hard to come by, but you are also more likely to pretend to be something that you aren't, just to please whomever you're with...something that I promise you only ends in tears.

Having said that, the line between confidence and arrogance is awfully fine and let's be honest, nobody likes arrogant assholes wither.

Michigan just passed a law where you have the legal right to refuse to help someone if it's against your religious rights, ie, you can refuse to help a gay dude because you think all gays should die

Idk how it all works but I think the bills passed the house and senate and is waiting to be signed by our glorious leader, who I hope rejects it since even though he's a republican he has been really good for the states economy and also knows that by signing this he will be hated by everyone in Ferndale.

I think you can, but the new law upped the penalty and did not clarify where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. The end result will likely be that filming them is by far more trouble than it's worth.

Holy poo poo this x11tybillion!

I work for a defense contractor's machine shop where the median age is probably north of 45.
I know to never, ever, bring up or discuss politics. I like a lot of the people I work with, but not enough to hang out outside of work because of the elephant in the room.

As a resident of Arkansas for the past 24 of my 27 years: Yes. Absofuckinglutely. It's staggering how accurate that depiction was and also a little heartbreaking that it's still really not changing all that much. I'm not even gay, just atheist and liberal and I still feel unwanted around here most days.

I'm in north carolina. I watched some old men watching (fox) news one morning and they were practically foaming at the mouth. Something about obama, I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember this line: "They outta drag him into the street and have him executed for treason!"

This is the same state that wrote a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and woman.

Date before last ended when the girl turned the conversation to politics and remarked that the world would be better off "without that friend of the family in the white house!"
