I’m a mid-career mechanic in the USA. I found my last job on Indeed.

There were TONS of mechanic jobs available in my area (Seattle). I was able to be really picky.

Depends on the jurisdiction. I got a decent severence and was still eligible for unemployment in WA state USA.

To be fair, it’s really hard to get your hands on a human mummy to eat nowadays.

Would I be able to post my nudes there?

Sorry about your cars, y’all

We’re fortunate our utility (Puget Sound Energy) will give us rebates for DIY improvements as well.

We installed a heat pump and got money back from the state and the feds.

It definitely makes sense to evaluate electricity costs. It’s unfortunately expensive to get a heat pump in some places.

Where we live, the Seattle metro area, it was a huge cost savings to get our heat pump.

Crunch the numbers and make sure it makes financial sense.

We love our heat pump!

We did a DIY install a few years ago. Cost about $4500 in total for a Bosch 18k BTU unit and everything needed to install it.

We got $900 back from the state (WA USA) and $2000 back from the feds. That brought our total out of pocket down to $1600.

We had electric resistive heat and no AC previously. Our heating bill went down by $50/month in the winter. It added maybe $10/month in the summer for air conditioning.

For our area, with mild winters and low electricity costs, it’s fucking amazing.

I love to ride and rebuild motorcycles. It’s so satisfying getting a crusty old bike and making it a reliable machine again.

It does influence how I think of myself. I’m proud of being able to disassemble and reassemble an entire motorcycle.

It’s an amazing feeling going down the highway on two wheels, knowing that the machine underneath me used to be a pile of parts in boxes.

I watched Obliterated on Netflix after taking an edible. Great evening!

Some of them have been kind of funny because the poster had some sort of decent comedic idea. I’m happier to see this type.

I enjoy these as well. There are some really good ones I’ve seen.

The rand ones don’t bother me

Netflix and Google Music. YouTube is included in Google music.

We have Prime, but the streaming is kind of secondary to the shipping.

Unfortunate we live in such a prudish country.

Damn, I can’t wait til she’s legal!

This one made me really sad.

I loved his videos. I learned a lot from the disassembly videos.

Then he went all Covid denier as soon as the pandemic hit. I couldn’t watch it anymore

Glad to hear that old-school opioids are still being produced.

We had a good run

Agreed. It’s been common throughout history for people to live on only beer and water for a few weeks at a time.

I imagine you could survive at least a few months on doppelbock if you were in good health beforehand.

Diablo 2 Resurrected. Rolling a new character as Sony decided I needed to pay for online access to play my other character.

Fuck that. I only do single player. I’ll just make a new one!
