What kind of mental malfunction do you have when you act like this? Why not just let the other car pass? Why speed up to try and prevent him overtaking you? What's your loving problem?

Don't people have any understanding of ice, how to judge it and how to act safely on frozen lakes? Like I saw at once that the ice looked weak as gently caress and knew where it was headed. Why are they even out there when it's like that, do they simply just don't understand?

freeedr posted:I bought my wife a phone for Christmas and today the new phone spontaneously activated sitting in my closet. She is away at work and her phone now doesn’t work. I went back to the carrier and told them they made a mistake and they said they can’t do anything for me because the SIM card she has is now burned and can never be used again so they have no way to revert it, but they said I can just take her a new SIM card. I told them she is currently away for work and I can’t do that. So I guess Christmas surprise ruined because she will definitely figure it out and she has a stay away from home and a long drive home in the ice without a cell phone because she isn’t near one of the carrier’s locations. Why do you have to do anything with a carrier when getting a new phone? Don't you just take the old card out of the old phone and put it in the new?

It's the way you say "your last", as if it's not your first one, and the next one is inevitable. It's a UK impression I have gotten, it seems small crimes, thft, burglaries and the like are really common for some reason.

Empty Sandwich posted:shipping through the US Postal Service used to be dirt cheap, but it's gotten steadily more expensive. they're still by far the best shipping option we have, but I keep having to raise my pottery shipping prices to other countries. Shipping through USPS got so expensive overnight around 2012 that since then I have only bought maybe 5-6 items total from the US. I often go on ebay and often I find a item I want from america but the shipping is like 50-100 dollars or something crazy like that even on tiny stuff. And then they ruined it even further with their global shipping program, before I had a good chance of slipping through customs, so why would I want to pre-pay it...

James Woods posted:Nearly fifteen years as a mechanic and I've never had the balls to try this but I've seen it done by my more redneck coworkers. It's is meant to be a last ditch solution for truckers and off roaders that get stranded after throwing a tire bead. Do do this in your driveway when a tire shop will mount and balance a tire for $20 is a combination of lazy and cheap in lieu of safety. If you buy the tires from the tire shop they include the mounting and balancing in the tire price. I once thought I could buy cheaper tires online, but having to have someone else mount and balance them (and take the old tires of my hands) ended up costing more. So now I am not selfish and dumb and just buy from my local mechanic so they can live too, and it's cheaper and easier.

Cage posted:You can still do this, you just didn't find a good enough deal. Tireshops jack up prices like crazy, as long as you can find the set of tires for more than ~$80 cheaper online (you can) it'll be worth it. I dunno I really went for the cheapest tires I could find online at the time. Just wasn't worth the hassle IMO, also had to haul the old tires and news ones along. So I just suppot my local mechanic, it's a small shop in the sticks which I figure is more worthy of support than some big chain somewhere.

Butterfly Valley posted:I'm definitely not going to argue the standard of driving isn't miles better in the UK and the driving test rightly much more stringent than the absolute joke of a process in the States, but I don't think the theory test actively translates to real world experience on UK roads and the only way people really learn about how terrifying ice is is by actually skidding on it mobby_6kl posted:This is the sort of thing that needs experience to get used to, no amount of theory will prepare you for the situation when your brakes suddenly don't do poo poo. Pilots get drilled on engine failure, stall recovery and other emergency situations for that reason, but the driving training and tests mostly boil down to following the signs correctly. People are actually taught that here, going on an icy track (they make it icy if weather doesn't cooperate) and skidding and learning how to correct for it. Also a moose-test, you drive on a track in the dark and suddenly a fake moose outta loving nowhere. It will hit the car if you don't swerve. It's a good test of what you will do when operating on instinct. For some reason I swerved the wrong way. Stuff happens in situaitons like that.

Empty Sandwich posted:these seems to be the rare tech example that's gone backwards... I feel as though a bunch of people had them in the early 80s, but not now. (no idea if this is actually true.) I got one of these  I think the advantage of one of these is that if I bought it in the early 80s, I'd still have it, it'd still work. The electrical one has probably broken by now. Now my grandmother had one of these mounted to the wall, she's dead now and we sold her house, but the can opener might still be there working. I am not sure one of these modern repros are even half as durable though.  An electrical can opener really sounds like it's something that fits in Reagans america though.

Can opener talk got me interested in one of those openers like grandma had, but I don't like the plastic kind. But I found this one: https://kk.org/cooltools/swing-a-way-can-opener/ Metal and even folds away. Looks like something one could cleverly put somewhere so it's hidden when not in use, like inside of a cabinet door, same door where you keep the cans for instance.

Because of me my family had to learn where the elevators were in every store in the mall. When I was a kid I thought escalators where time machines, and I developed a fear of the 1300s.

Ornamental Dingbat posted:I once had to unclog a shower drain and I used basically the same technique with the shop vac from the shed. Only problem was that when I turned it on I potato cannoned a family of mice out of the nozzle and across the room. Reminds me of what my dad said happened this weekend. He'd woken up because of a weird noise and found a live bird (White wagtail) in the fireplace, it had gotten down through the chimney and into the heater, there it sat behind glass like it was a caged bird.  He opened the front door and then the door to the fireplace hoping the bird would leave but it aimed for the window, hit it and shat on the flowers, then he grabbed it and threw it out.
