and if I don’t they expect a better excuse than “I don’t feel like talking right now.”

You don’t owe them a explanation though. If they demand a answer, you can just lie, joke or tease them a bit. “I was busy, painting a horse” or “I was attempting a new record at standing on my head.” Or just reply with “did you want something?” if they keep pushing the issue.

My go to is: I was uh… doing something

Indeed!

Though my doorbell is unplugged anyway lol

The vast majority of Christian denominations just kind of ignore that one.

And thank god for that.

yes, numerous US bishops did that

Also numerous Australian, Canadian, Mexican, South American, Asian, Irish, Polish, Norwegian, other European, etc priests and bishops did that.

I think you are in the wrong thread, you were probably trying to reply to the “what is the best website design” thread.

I’m using that as well. I like it, it was very easy to install and get working.

I’m always baffled by those weirdos who insist on chiming in.

Me: “goddamn its hot, its like 32C”

Weirdo: “yeah but its 45C in the Arabian desert!!11!”

Me: “okay but I live north of the arctic circle and its May.”

And walking away doesn’t mean it survived. Could walk for hours before succumbing to the injuries.

Poor elephant. I hope they it is okay. The article didnt say anything clear about it :(

Start with inters -> chance of safety car. Not necessarily back of the pack.

If you can pull a 10-15 second gap before the SC comes out, sure. But what did Norris achieve before having to pit? like 3 or 4 seconds?

Anyway, once they started the formation lap(s) with inters on, the best damage control was to take the start with them and hope for some sort of miracle. But that doesnt change the fact of how stupid the decision to start with the inters was in the first place.

That sounds good to me. I actually have some major JOMO these days, with pretty much everything. I think the most recent film I’ve watched is from 2019, the most recent music I listen to is ~2011-12, I enjoy listening to people tell me about that party/event/whatever they went to and I didn’t etc. So your description fits better than you knew lol

Still have the habit of popping the hood when i get home and checking

For engine oil, its better to check it 20-30 minutes after turning the engine off, or before turning the engine on. When the engine has been running, the oil is all over the engine, it takes a few moments to settle back down in the oil pan. Depending how quickly after running you check the oil, you’ll get variable results on the dip stick.

For coolant, thats easier because the reservoirs usually have a hot and cold lines so it doesn’t matter too much, as long as its between the lines, you are good.

As a car mechanic I can tell you your habit is extremely good. If you notice the fluid levels are going down, take it to the mechanic and at best you’ll save yourself thousands for not having to fix or change a blown engine.

ESL?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundoku

Tsundoku (積ん読) is the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in a home without reading them.

Seems to be quite universal phenomenonemon. I wonder if theres a word for someone who spends a year or two buying books, letting them pile up and then has a few month period where they read for hours and hours every day. If there is, that would be me.

And it sucks even as that.

The shareholders are morons.

The latest Garbage Time was excellent lunchtime viewing!
