SATURN DOWN SATURN DOWN :stonk:

Holy poo poo did that escalate quickly. Fan went from making a bit of noise last night and this morning (fake edit: I started writing this at like 1am, so....), to screeching like a banshee, to "who the gently caress is flailing around with a hammer under the hood?!" noises coupled with the temp gauge attempting to reach low orbit and the ac deciding cool air wasn't necessary at idle or low speeds. I only drove about 15 miles today. Glad I didn't work today.

Thank gently caress I already worked most of my allowed hours for the week. New fan assembly (fan/motor/shroud) is being overnighted. I don't know how Amazon can offer free overnight shipping on something, but gently caress I'll take it. I'll work the rest of my hours on Friday and Saturday, hopefully the Saturd will be terrorizing everyone again before the sun goes down.

You, uh, you seem to be missing something there. I think. It's a Jeep, so... No, I had one of those. It definitely had a floor here in Texas.
Say gently caress it and just weld back in some 1/4" plate. See if that'll rust out.

Had to go in person to renew my driver's license this year (new picture every 12 years.) Surprisingly pleasant experience. The letter said I may have to provide proof of identity, residence, etc., which pissed me off because my driver's license that I have had for 30 years (continuously) IS my proof of all that. I dug out my damned birth certificate, my SSC, and one of my vehicle titles just in case, and schlepped it all to the nice, shiny new big-rear end DL center, and then didn't need any of it.
They use kiosks at the front where you put in your mobile number and they text you your place in line and approximate wait, so you don't even have to stay in the waiting area. Nice. Only took 20 minutes as it was. Much, much better than the last time I had to do this poo poo.
Even managed to do it early enough that I should get the replacement before the old one expires (September 10.) Go me!

I had to do the same last month. Registered online.... at the wrong office. :doh: Then registered at the kiosk after I got the text saying they were ready (and discovering that desk didn't even exist at the location I was at) and was informed there was a 3 hour wait. Left and went to the tiny office off of I-30 and Rose Hill, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes (from the time I parked until I started the car again). Clerk was surprisingly jovial and friendly. and when she showed me the picture (and saw the look on my face when I saw it) she immediately told me she'd take it again. I took my birth certificate, SSC, and insurance, they needed the birth certificate since I haven't been in a DL office in 12 years. The office I wound up going to didn't have kiosks or anything, you had to go to a counter and tell them what you were there for, and you got a number - same way it was when I last renewed. But it was seriously tiny, they had about 20 or 30 chairs in the waiting area (vs several hundred at the big one).

And I agree, far better experience, even with the initial fuckup on my part, than the last time I renewed. I think that was a 2 hour ordeal (in 2004), and I went early in the morning.

Well it would be a lot easier if the majority of the kitchen stuff didn't belong to the 1 pig that refuses to clean ever. I came home to just his dirty poo poo in the sink and his loving food on the floor. I am so clean to beating the poo poo outta him with a sock full if quarters at this point.

Christ. I'm a self-admitted slob, but I keep the kitchen so spotless that you can eat off the floor. If it's an area related to food, it has to be sparkling clean. Anytime I cook, dishes are done immediately, excess food is put away as soon as everyone is done, and every surface is wiped down with some kind of sanitizer.

Working in restaurants got me into both good and awful habits. Awful is the habit of wiping everything onto the floor - I have faux wood linoleum on a hilariously uneven floor instead of solid concrete or tile, so it's a pain to sweep everything up. Good is wiping down every kitchen surface with some kind of sanitizing cleaner whenever I'm done with it, and immediately moving everything into the fridge, plates, etc instead of letting it sit out.

Dude. I almost flipped my poo poo at him right before I went to bed. Ever since I stopped smoking weed, the guys built a little stoner dungeon in the basement. I was on my way to my bedroom when he chimes in that he found where the fruit flies were coming from. He said that his trashcan he keeps down there has been filled with beer cans and beer juice for like a month now. I said sweet man thanks for cleaning it up. He replied that he didn't and that it was still down there. I must have blacked out out of pure rage because the next thing I remember is waking up for work and finding his bloody corpse sticking out of the trashcan.

A hot dog is a hot dog unless the bun tears fully apart into two separate pieces of bread. If you then change the orientation and method of eating it, it can be a sandwich.

If you insist on calling a fully intact hot dog something other than hot dog, "a foldover" is acceptable. Especially when you're poor and actually use a piece of white bread as a bun.

I would argue that a hot dog can never fully become a sandwich. The intent of the assembler is to have a hot dog cradled (or whatever) in a single roll. If the bun tears (as they do), in my mind, it is still a hot dog and not a sandwich. If one were to take a few hot dogs and place them between two slices of bread, then you'd have a hot dog sandwich.
