Edit: ironically, eBay logins are impossible for a large percentage of users at the moment.

First eBay has issues, then facebook goes down in the same day?

Hey she could still come back, maybe she got trapped in a shed or garage somewhere and she'll be let out, stranger things have happened.

Anyway, better news, our tenants are looking into buying the house we're renting to them, not definite yet but that would be great. I'll be able to get a 3 bed with a garage.

When I was a kid we had a cat that never went outside, it managed to get lost for 6 weeks before someone found it

Snapchat chat I'm freelop722.

Planning on finally getting to the local dirt circuit tonight after someone said good things about them a few months back.

Going to take my camera but I'm really not sure how to take photos in the dark of high speed objects without it being a terrible blur

Ok, so what exactly is a freelop? Other than a creepy Happy Meal box sans peepers. Google-fu provides no help.

A made up word that came out of frustration when trying to make a username years ago.

Sometimes I hear people from the US talking about lending friends their cars.
Over here in the UK I'm 90% sure that if they aren't declared as a named driver it would be classed as driving without insurance which if caught is baaad.
Is the law different in the states or does insurance cover anyone you chuck your keys at? (Or do people just not worry about getting caught?)

gently caress you Apple and U2, you gigantic sacks of poo poo

I've been given an iPad Air through this course I'm taking on process management, which is all well and good. It's a pretty slick piece of hardware and OS, and the tablet-focused app ecosystem is miles ahead of the Android equivalent (99% of all Android apps are designed almost exclusively for phones). The screen is obviously amazing with 260ppi or whatever, I used to have a 225ppi Android tablet before, but this renders text even better.

But suddenly, a goddamn U2 album shows up in the music library because Tim Cook and Bono apparently can't stop choking on each others sanctimonious rich white dude dicks and have decided to give away the latest shitshow U2 album for free. Of course, they do this by forcing it on literally everyone with an Apple ID and/or iTunes account.

I don't want that poo poo. I hate U2 with the burning passion of a trillion suns. I hate Bono and his holier-than-thou attitude and his stupid-rear end sunglasses. I hate The Edge because gently caress you, you don't get to be edgy or cool just because you change your name, learn to play the guitar instead. And I hate those two other dudes that no one can remember, because they suck too. I hate them all, and I hate the pussification of rock music for which they stand.

I want that poo poo gone. I do not want even the slightest trace of anything related to U2 anywhere. But noooo, you can't delete a "purchase" from iTunes, you can only "hide" it. That's not good enough. Pull your poo poo together, Apple.

You aren't the only one who isn't a fan of U2

Bit of fog on the roads today.
Time to activate SAFETY BEAMS!

I think the logic is that you don't have to worry about things appearing in the fog if you are already totally blinded.

Clutch and front pads changed. �365.
Not as bad as it could have been but I really, really could have done with that money in my pocket.

Now I'm having to get used to the clutch feeling totally different and brakes that bite a lot harder,

Craigslist complaining? I have more. I spotted my future husband while driving last week and he smiled and waved at me. I took my chances and made a missed connections as that was pretty specific, and I got four responses that were all claiming to be him. One of them actually was him though, so for once Craigslist actually worked.

Did you go out and buy a lottery ticket yet?

So when the coffee pot says "discard if chipped or cracked" they mean it. I had one with a tiny chip in the spout blow up on me this morning.

Does that apply to glasses that only have cold drinks?

I have a martini glass with a small crack in it but I don't want to have to go and buy another

I came across this picture today. It's my uncle in 1954 sitting in the car he bought while underage after lying to a bank in order to convince them to loan him $16,500 to buy it. He then dropped out of Yale and spent a time in hiding from his father and racing the car.

My grandfather eventually tracked him down though. Having found my uncle and discovering this purchase, and the subsequent loan, refused to pay for the car, and being that my uncle was not old enough to sign a contract, the bank could not collect.

Unfortunately my uncle has since passed away and I do not know what happened to the car. He was considerably older than my father, roughly 15 years, and was a notorious playboy.

Anyway, try to guess the car. It took me a bit but I'm pretty sure I've got it.

My guess is a 1954 Ferrari Mondial

The original style is still better but of the "new beetles" this one seems really quite nice. There's been a few on the roads locally

I've never had a speeding ticket because if I sped the tracker in the car would tell the insurance company on me.

I imagine that in the future they will be integrated into electric cars which will automatically limit the speed of the car to whatever the local speed limit is.

Sorry for helping ruin the future guys
