[quote=Chico23231;1245863]Bro, my sister is going thru a divorce and she bought a new townhouse...so this past weekend she went up to Ikea to furnish it with new bullshit and asked me to go. I responded that why would I visit Dante sixth level of hell? Dale city ikea on a Saturday...that’s a hard stop. But did ask her to pick me up the Swedish meatballs.[/quote]

LOL

Idk what it is about IKEA but my sister is the same way. Lives in NC, every time she visits she insists on going to IKEA for cheap crap she wants. Always asks me to go since nobody else wants to.

Once a month my town has a bulk trash pick up. you literally could stick a sofa out there they will take it. My buddy and me always laugh the night before the bulk pick up looking at peoples piles. It is literally 70% ikea furniture.

The trick to knowing Ikea is the more moving parts to the product the shitter it is. Bought my son a desk there for Xmas literally wood top attached to two metal legs, assembled in 5 minutes. He wanted this computer desk with all these moving parts etc...I said fuck that 2 hours too build and a life expectancy of 6 months.

Walked out of work today to find my car covered in bird shit, must have been a flock of geese that flew over and they all decided to drop deuces just over my car. Fuck off geese.

I hate fuckin jackass fuckfaces

Just witness this morning: guy in a nice f150 hauling a small trailer. The trailer isn’t sided, just a small flat bed with a see thru, grate-like gate that is up. I just merged onto a highway behind him about 30 yards.

In the middle of this small trailer is a mound of loose gravel.

I see this and move way over as we approach a bridge. The truck hits the lip of the bridge, bouncing the trailer...I can see the rocks jump off and hittin the highway turning into missiles . I swerve all the way over and just missing these things, but I can see the traffic behind me swerving while getting hit.

Seriously fuck this guy.

It seems more and more there are people clueless as how what they are doing impact others or they just don't care. It also could be the guy owns a local auto glass business.

Have you ever tried making some in the oven. My buddy has just about perfected the process.

That looks like a lot of tedious work to me. With my fumble fingers it would take forever to hang them up like that.

I need to cook more in general. Especially now that I'm single again. Definitely haven't tried making jerky. Probably above my pay grade.

Yeah, I ate the whole bag yesterday. Definitely can't keep that stuff in the house. Assuming I'd even worse if it was bacon jerky.

I probably cook in the oven a couple times a year and it is probably a frozen pizza or fish sticks. I have baked more machined parts to dry them than food in there. Only use the stove to make omelets or chili. BBQ or microwave for me.

I think by 1980 most homes had a microwave. Toaster ovens probably go back 100 years.

This just always bothers me. So your typing in an address but when you get to the State you have to click and open the drop down box and pick the state. Why can't they just let me type it in as with everything else?

If they let people type some would type penn for pennsylvania or pa or pa. or penn.

Also, and just as important that field is easier coded as a dropdown because the list is prebuilt.

Just type the first letter of the state and keep going until it hits yours

It is nuts in some areas, it is definitely really bad where I am at also. I am pretty much existing out of the mom & pop stores off the beaten path, they still have a pretty good amount of items. At the chain stores anything with a shelf life is close to cleaned out.

I have to take inventory of our disposable gloves for a shop that has almost 100 mechanics and parts countermen across 2 shifts, because VA wants to know exactly how much PPE every county has in case they need to raid our supply. Thanks 'rona.

They may have toilet paper on 7-8 week back order, but it looks like McMaster Carr has all kinds of disposable gloves if you guys start running short. Not sure if you buy from them, that is where I have gotten shop supplies for over 25 years. Most people get next day delivery for discounted UPS ground rates. Their website is the gold standard.

I just remember a legendary back and forth between jsarno and schneed10 about gambling. Jsarno allegedly had come up with some sort of way to beat the house at roulette or something. Needless to say schneed10 called him out.

It was the one where you double your previous bet or something if I recall. Like bet 5 on red, then 10, then 20, etc.

Hahaha.
