This Month's Haul - July, 2014

[Fe 26]

also, I just made coffee.

Look at y'all arguing over electric outlets and shit. I got Astro Warrior (complete) for the Master System and you guys are fighting over McDonald's and wall outlets.

FUCKING ASTRO WARRIOR.

Get some perspective, fellas!

Where do you think you're posting again?

I bet you didn't even bother growing, harvesting, or roasting the beans yourself.
What a rube.

That was something feasible to do in a couple of weeks. Shit, a couple of months, I probably would.

You're talking to a guy that doesn't have furniture in all of the rooms in his house because he either wants to build it or buy something just 'so' and at just the 'right' price. I'm not as big of a hypocrite on this as you might smugly assume.

I'm hiring Josh to do all my wiring and cheeks to do all my cooking. I expect great things.

[SamuraiMoogle]

no you haven't.

electrical house fires are rare. And when they do happen, its normally old bare aluminum wiring from like the 20s.

Lastly, who the fuck figures out how to wire their house from home depo? There is so much shit online about wiring a house. And if you're building a house, shit still has to pass code.

Fuck, Josh can wire a basement, and it took me years to teach him how to balance a speaker load. What are you even talking about?

Who said anything about building a house? It's the shit that people add later that's messed up. Who inspects that? If the shit turns on and works it's fine right?

I'm not going to say it is ok to do a slock job. Don't try to backend me into the wrong side of the argument.

You're trying to say that there is only paying an expert or doing a horrible job by yourself. Thats not the case. You can in fact research something well enough to do a good job on your own.

This idea that only experts can do a good job might be the biggest thing I hate about my generation and those that came after. No one believes in themselves anymore. People all secretly think of themselves as stupid. Only experts can do. Those magical 'other' experts out there.

The difference between you and an expert is time and damns. How much time and damns have you given. And most things don't even require expert skill. Anyone can can wire a light or fix a sink.

There is also knowing that a professional is offering a price that makes their service better than DIY.

Yes, I agree 100%. The burning down the house thing is way extreme, but people can get easily hurt by doing a shit job.

My $5.99 Call of Duty: Ghosts arrived. Not bad for free shipping.
