I think you’re making a whole lot of assumptions here regarding arrangements between 3 people you have never met and weren’t privy to.

Ah that makes sense. Being from Florida, I can relate somewhat with the wind and rain. I didnt know about Irish construction though.

Thanks for the reply!

I am curious, why do you need to check for leaks so often?

Haha I did volunteer at a track for a bit and they paid me in rally car lessons, driving one of their WRXs through the woods, which was a blast.

They were convinced I’d done it before because before they taught me how, I was already good at left foot braking and could smoothly heel-toe while shifting, but in reality I hadn’t driven an IRL stick shift for more than a few hours at most. That’s not to say I didn’t make some silly mistakes though lol

Bought an FR-S recently and once I get some new tires on it, I’m gonna see how I do on a not-dirt track!

Anyway I’ve switched to PC now, if anyone wants to race…

I should probably take a picture, but at least 1500 hours on Project Cars 2 on PS4 / 5.

Edit: I just looked and it’s actually 2,897 hours.

Yokai

We can be proud we’ve taken steps to preserve it instead of turning it into a fucking shopping mall.

Does it actually matter what the names of the stores are? From context, I know you know they’re chain stores, as opposed to “mom and pops” regardless of location, and more or less what they sell.

Do you expect me to know what country you’re from and tell you the stores near me are actually the stores near you?

I don’t live near a Tesco, or a Tim Horton’s, yet if I didn’t know what those were and you put them in a post about places you’re forced to buy food, as opposed to the small shops you wish you had, I could safely assume they were grocery stores.

Stop making “US Defaultism” an issue where it isn’t. It is real, and this isn’t it. I am a person describing my experiences and I happen to live in the United States. Why on earth would I write about how inconvenienced I am by a brick-and-mortar chain electronics store in Germany?

Full size,I’m thinking of the big, over-the-shoulder kind.

I wanna put a camcorder from the 80s on my roof

Thanks I’ll check them out!

Idk what a local store is here. Everything is a chain.

Food? Publix or Winn-Dixie. Thats about it, save for the Asian market on the corner and a once a week farmers market that I never seem to be able to attend.

Meds? CVS or Walgreen’s. We have a local pharmacy, insurance doesn’t cover them.

Electronics? Best buy. There’s no mom and pop computer store

Furniture / clothing / household items? Thrift stores maybe?

Big Box stores didn’t just reduce mom and pops in my area, it killed them.

The only non-chain stores are for niche products like a smoke shop, the aforementioned Asian market, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

*I’m nothin’ ifn’t a contradiction

that driver was just a fucking moron

I mean, he bought a cybertruck lol

Yep. Ive stopped playing by the rules now.

Laws are far less important to me than they were a few months ago. Just following the example of the “leadership”…

I’m a really good driver. Like rules of the road and all that, sure, but I also have some training in rally cars, am decent on a race track, and am generally a top 5 finisher in whatever Sim race I enter.

Wish I could afford to enter an IRL series.

Woo! Same, bud!

I wish I had a school near me. Its been a long time.

No, but this is a desired result of the technique.

Two weeks after a hurricane. Couldn’t get out of the driveway for a few days either. Fortunately we were renovating a bathroom and had an empty bathtub in the yard that filled with rain and were able to use a gas stove to boil water.

I’m confused about the context of “on line” vs “in line”

Are we talking about standing in a queue, or using the internet, or one’s behavior (“you’d better get get yourself in line!”), or auto racing terminology (“stay on your line” or “hold your line”, often shortened to “stay on line”)?

Doubt it’s that last one lol but where are those two getting mixed up and how might they differ from “online” (internet) and “inline” (skates)?

Lol this is such a fun thread
