Well people in California might, but who gives a shit what most cali liberals want?
SSJN I would recommend NEVER doing an ebay search of what some of those pokemon toys are worth now
I have never had a problem with Taco Bell, or Chipotle. Or White Castle for the matter. My intestines are tanks.Quote:

Your body being used to the garbage sludge you pass through it is probably not a brag worthy trait. That being said I never get sick either and we're in this together. Fire in the hole Chipotle.Quote:

I've eaten raw pork without any issues, but I get food poisoning at least once a year from deep-fried bar food or fast food.
Is getting food poisoning from deep fried food common? I always thought the super heated oil would kill everything.
Does tapatalk not work very well? I got a new phone and can finally try that app since I have 64gigs of space instead of ~200mb and it keeps getting stuck on login and times out before logging me in. =(
that's technology trying to save you from yourself.
I barely get on here as it is. =p
Meh on tapatalk. The default mobile view works fine.
people a lot of times say "food poisoning" when they mean "strongly disagreed with my system." It's not uncommon for any meal, usually deep fried, fatty, salty, and chock full of oil to cause stomach discomfort, which results in puking, diarrhea, the chills, pain in stomach, etc. This usually occurs a few hours after eating. Most people, unless you eat this shit all the time, are not equipped to process it without some discomfort. Actual food poisoning is more serious - usually the onset of it is quite a bit quicker, like, within the hour of eating the meal. You'll run a fever, spewing from both ends, and likely in such extreme pain that you'll want to die. It will also last more than 24 hours. Usually with a plain ol' upset stomach, once you puke/shit the meal out, you'll be shaky, but more or less okay.Quote:

Food poisoning is not a real medical term. It can mean bacterial infection, but it doesn't have to.
When I think of "food poisoning" I think of getting some sort of infection because the food was not treated properly.
Having an ass explosion because you're not used to eating KFC is not food poisoning.
Depends on the frequency and explosiveness
KFC apparently gives some people legendarily awful runs. "On the toilet for over an hour and have to flush 3 times" kinda runs. I personally hate deep fried food because it's always made me lethargic but I've never actually been made sick by it. People just have different constitutions I guess.
Came home to water damage. 2 or 3 inches of water in the little area for the AC air filter. Fucking antique amps pulled the water through the fucking wall because life is suffering.
I found this after working a 12
Im walking around the house naked, drinking a tall boy
I'm doing that last one too, but it's because I shampooed the carpets at our new place today and my back hurts.
Water damage sucks so much. You need to peel the carpet back and probably peel the baseboard back and knock holes in the wall to get it air in out. Preferably with a fan. Preferably get someone else to do it.
I'm so sorry IP :( water damage is my least favorite thing to come home to :(
My anthro(!) professor this semester is a hardcore libertarian who has to announce that, as well as his atheism every 10 minutes, and believes Obama is a Muslim, climate change isn't real, and political correctness is ruining America. He grows hallucinogens in his backyard and I'm assuming he believes in hollow earth because he sounds like r/redpill and r/atheism combined and had a developmentally disabled child. The bonus? My husband's ex girlfriend is in the class too. It's hella awkward. Not bc I'm jelly or anything, but it's just kind of awkward. I made small talk with her bc I didn't want to be rude, but yeah. Awwwwkward.
People need to stop believing everything they read online.
An in-your-face atheist is just as annoying as anyone else who shoves their beliefs down your throat.Quote:

I'm thinking the bravado will wear off after a few weeks (this particular class is only once a week thank god,) but his ideas on Muslims are definitely teetering on intolerant racism. I'm gonna see how this plays out, but if it crosses a line I'm going to the dean. I don't care how many times someone says "I'm an individual and I know this class isn't for everyone" it doesn't excuse intolerance.

I just carried 6 boxes of records and two of those 2x4 ikea record shelves down a flight of stairs and into a van by myself. Then, just for for funsies, I did the same thing with most everything else I own. Now I'm standing, pantsless in my war zone of a living room drinking a 24 oz Rainier and contemplating my existence.
I love my records more than life itself, but fuck those fuckers when you have to move them.
When we moved here we only had 4 boxes, and we had a very enthusiastic and deceptively strong dude we hired to unload them. I kind of have a hard time believing I bought that many records in the past year, but here we are.
I'm horrified to think what it's gonna be like next time we move. We are going to be at this next place for 5 years or so.
That being said, I found a Joy Division record I didn't even know I had that was filed under D (I blame Rebecca!) so it's all worth it.
Those feels. I know them.Quote:

I could find any record in a few seconds, but FUCK YOU if you're trying to find something. Some things are sorted by genre, and location too!
and woe is you if you're trying to find anything in my 7" boxes.
I should move out there.Quote:

No. It makes me angry.
I keep meaning to get one cheap off a graduate at the end of the school year. But I always forget.
I'm still just going to friends houses or the laundry mat. I do laundry twice a month for 10 15 a pop. It would take 3 to 6 years for a new set up to pay for itself.
My wife came home with a new set a few years ago, but we left them with the house when we moved and now we're just using some old units that seem to work just as well. I try to only put things I don't care about in the dryer and hang the rest.
I would hate not having a washer and dryer at home. I don't own enough clothing to last two weeks.
Do you factor in time, and gas to that calculation?Quote:

Fair enough. The laundromat in Baltimore I went to had a Ms. Pac Man cabinet with the speed hack and a pretty rad bar right next door. If there was still one of those I could walk to it'd be different. We've had shared laundry rooms at the 2 places we've lived at, and I'm fucking over it.
What's hard about buying a washer and dryer? One of the easier appliance purchases I've been through.
easing up those purse strings
Finding one that isn't an overpriced pos without being a regular pos.Quote:

Don't get those front loaders, most are belt driven and they die quickly. Also stay away from those fancy "High Efficiency" where they don't use a lot of water.... Everyone I know who bought those say they don't clean very well and have to rewash, so you end up using the same amount of water.
I bought the cheapest top loaders, about $400-500 each for the washer/dryer. The guy who sold it to me said he bought the same thing because he service the front loaders and that's where they make all the money. But if you have to buy a front loader, get a direct drive (I think only LG makes them).
Don't fall for marketing BS, like 10 different washing cycles, and 20 different fabric for drying, or timer, or reheat, etc etc etc. All those things you will never use and will break anyway.
Not to go on an IP rant, but most products sold now are disposable garbage that won't last 3-5 years. So you might as well treat them as such by not spending $1500 on a machine. I don't care if my machines die, because I will just replace with new ones for another $500.
I looked into the front loaders before settling on a Samsung agitator-less top loader.
Lots of complaints of mold and leaking on the front loaders. The lack of an agitator has resulted in clothes lasting much longer than they used to though.
We bought a new-ish Samsung set from a Mexican refurb shop for $600 cash, worked perfectly outside of a couple quirks. They even hauled 'em over and installed.Quote:

Fisher and Paykel has jacked up their prices in the past few years, but my washer is going on at least 10 years. I think the dryer I bought last year is a Whirlpool. Go for something with simple controls like king said. Digital readouts and shit on these things is like the BMW 7 series. A mess of electronics that jack up cost and lower quality.
Front loaders are the worst. Even with keeping the doors open after use, we would still get mold, and cleaning a washing machine just seems silly.Quote:

Yeah I've been using one for years. No smell or mold.
This is the best advice. Front Loaders are fucking worthless. The one at my brother's house has a dryer that sucks so bad. Like literally it's new and it can't fully dry shit in near as much time as the old dryer could.Quote:

You have to think you're leaving the door closed on a unit which even tho it should be drained has a lot of moisture built up inside from each time you wash it so yeah a smell is gonna come out. I just found that leaving the door open and letting it air-dry out works better to keep it from smelling like something took a fart in your unit.
I always leave the door open. I also open the little soap drawer, as it tends to hold a lot of water as well.
It probably just needs a few bleach cycles, like you said, but I have never used bleach on any of my laundry.
Who uses a soap drawer. Put that shit in with the clothes.
Shits too damn complicated.
The water goes through there either way, so even if I didn't use it, it would still get wet.
The worst part is that it takes twice as long to wash things in it.
I've had Maytag front loaders for a few years. Work amazing, no smell and the washer spins the clothes almost dry so the dryer takes 30mins at most. There's cleaner things we toss in once in a great while. Maybe that keeps the washer from the mold smell? We also leave the door open for it.
We're old.
I got a front loader just to spite you bastards.
You're a rampant front loader.

It would be a different music world without black people. The differences are essentially the differences between dick dale and the beach boys. The beach boys had many black American influences. The simpler songs. Singing style. Lyric style. Slower pace. Etc. A lot of that came from black muscuans.
Of course a lot of what we call black music was taken from white pentecostal churches around Tennessee and Irish folk music.
There is a lot more throwing the ball back and forth than people want to admit.
twisted my ankle in steel toe boots this morning.
