Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

Titus69I shouldn’t think so small minded about the lithium shit, i can only imagine how much shit the average gas powered car leaks oil, gas or coolant onto the roads and into water overtime, before considering exhaust fumes too.

Brake dust makes up to 20% of traffic pollution! Regenerative braking is another huge benefit to ev/hybrids. This is another great reason to buy a hybrid

is it a computer based job? I've developed some tendonitis in my left hand from years of a keyboard heavy desk job. I got my employer to buy me a nice ergonomic keyboard and mouse and it has helped significantly. My old setup was literally toasting my hands

I also soak my hands in warm water with epsom salt and vinegar twice a day, that also helps me a lot

Yes. I have a 1989 Accord with 348,000+ miles. Runs great.
2005 Accord 200,000+ miles, runs great.
2003 Forester. 211,000+. All good except I do need to replace a bearing in the manual trans. now. I'll get it done because it still has much life left in it.

Last night, some tweaker pulls up behind me at the stop sign in his POS beater with 3 broken windows and chucks his empty Big Gulp out the window. I wanted to confront him about it. I've done it before to other pieces of shit like that. But this guy was clearly on drugs and I didn't feel like getting stabbed.

I hate people who throw their shit on the road. Scum of the earth

Jemsi try doing the stretches the internet tells me to do but it does jack shit.


yeah I feel that, I've only found one set of stretches that gives me any sort of relief, but it's just minor relief ultimately

Try sleeping with one of those wrist braces that keeps your wrists from bending while you sleep. They're like 30$ for a good one at a drugstore. The natural tendency for your body is to curl the wrists inward while you sleep. Apparently it's great for carpal tunnel, but it doesn't help me at all with tendonitis. My tendonitis is just above where carpal tunnel usually is, higher up the hand

Definitely go see a doc, they will be able to tell you if it's carpal tunnel, tendonitis or both. I let mine go on for several months before I grudgingly saw a doc

Saw that left hand holding the pup
Looked like it had seen some action
SavageBiffGood advice, especially being hangry, That’s a good way to go about it, mine is primarily triggers, and I’m triggered by road rage when it’s directed at me
i moved forward a lot in recent years with my own anger,ignorance, triggers, awareness and proactively managing what I must to avoid issues, but I’ve had some trouble with my anger since a recent car accident in which I got concussed and have had to be extra aware, my biggest problem is walking away, and being a magnet for shit starters.
I’m my defense I had just spent 11 hours driving to pickup a pup, I was hangry, wanted to smoke and then Mr Tesla happened, ima stay home and game , play with the pup for a few

Earlier this year stuck in traffic (not moving) on i70 before the tunnel I felt like shit and had my window down since I knew I was gonna puke. I threw up out my window onto the left shoulder and the guy behind me in an outback got out his car, came over to my window and started yelling and cussing at me 😂 and said I was doing harm to animals and tried to explain to me that an animal was gonna come by and eat my Throw up or something the lines of that even tho no animal will ever step foot on the highway. Keep in mind I can’t roll my window up since I was gonna puke at any moment but traffic got moving and he just went back to his car. My mom brought me to urgant care a few hrs later turns out I had norovirus hopefully that guy got it.

I knew this meme would cause controversy. There are no easy answers. Maybe if the fuel cell hydrogen can be figured out, that could be the ticket.
Anyway, here's a guy with a good take on the current issues with going EV on a large scale.

"We work typically 6 to 2 but we'd appreciate it if people would stop leaving right at 2"

Then fucking adjust our schedules so we have to work???? You can't force people to work OT or some arbitrary schedule.

Guys in trades, especially late 20s dudes are fucking brainless when it comes to management. Stop using "growing pains" as an excuse and man the fuck up and be real

And stop fucking bragging about having so many hours an OT. For what? To buy shit you never use because you work so much?

The last few days there has been a very noticeable decline in the quality of the tap water in town. Same problem at my house, next door, and the office. Have also had painful poops for two days and can't help but think it's related.

GL. Let us know what they say.

Virus/vaccine tyranny needs to stop immediately. Anyone supporting these restrictions still is the absolute scum of the ear. Canada can be a bitch to cross into especially if you are driving and not flying. I sent trips to Europe on fake cards and didn't think twice but Canada is different their border guards are so nasty and looking to shake you down for money.

I had one of those tests done years ago except it was on my back, and they made a grid with 40 different allergens. I was shifting around in my seat the rest of the day constantly itching my back, it was definitely obnoxious

Turns out I was allergic to almost every single one of the 40 allergens they put on my back, hooray. Most forms of dust, lots of grasses. Pretty much everything except cats

I went for a test, and they used to give you 40 shots all in your arm, I was 7, I got scared so my dad got them to give me the kids version which was a pad with like 20 prongs on it with different allergens, they did both arms I lit up like a tree, so I got shots every week for 4-5 years, I’m now only allergic to tree nuts, used to be everything. Another bonus was I got out of school every Tuesday for shits, and dad took me to a pizza buffet I’d eat a pizza or two and go back to school , those shots gave me a crazy huge appetite,i still eat like that

And if you can't afford a mini-fridge, spike you food with ghost chili peppers or some equally horrendous shit. Maybe laxatives.
