I actually succeeded at something. I... my brain can't process this. I'm having a legitimate anxiety attack because I did something mostly right.

I hope you don't live in the city but instead live in bumfuck no-where with lots of straight roads that have no traffic.

Also, raise the clutch up slower - and don't have the gas on too much or you'll find out how much fun a clutch replacement is.
You should be progressively applying more gas as you ease off the clutch.

Speaking of cars, came out to mine this morning to find one side of it was completely covered in spider babies.
Not that I mind spiders but I hope none of the little bastards managed to get in otherwise I'm going to be looking forward to cobwebs in my car for several weeks

I live in cornfield, indiana and I like clutch but the one thing I really don't like is all hills you're on and someone pulls up right on your ass. pretty much every train crossing is a hill and there is a crossing everywhere pretty much

I do live in a city, but not usually stop-and-go. I'm fine with it though. The added fun factor is worth it.

Yeah, I'll have to scrape that extra paint/rubber off before I hang it up. The original one wasn't like that, though, y'know, broken.

Also I fixed the crookedness mostly, wasn't hard.

Okay, scraped off the paint a bit. Looks better now.

Been homebrewing recently. Made a bunch of batches of good beer from kits, only issue was a bit of cloudyness. Started making my own recipies and bought a massive 16 gallon pot which has made everything so much easier. It is incredibly satisfying to get drunk on the delicious fruit of your labor

Meanwhile, I've gotten to the infinitely less satisfying task of learning how to into art.

Three pages of nothing but lines. Straight lines, curves, straight lines again, now two pages of perspective. No rulers allowed.
One day, I know, lizards will come out of this.

Do you ever wonder if your normal everyday ancient greek thought that Plato and Aristotle were big giant nerds, and took the piss out of them for thinking different, and that they're only revered because they wrote the books?
Or if the phenomenon of making fun of people smarter than you is just a modern day thing?

Weren't one of those guys put on trial and sentenced to death for their way of thinking?

People with new ideas are always made fun of. Just like kids these days don't know how good they have it, for the past 3000 years or so. There's some famous Roman quote to the effect of "kids these days".

There was a case in the cult of pythagoras that Hippasus dared to suggest that mathematics was not just confined to whole numbers. And there were such a thing as irrational numbers. Now some people say he was exiled from the cult but there's also evidence that they just straight up murdered him for even suggesting such a ridiculous theory.

I wonder what they would've done if he had suggested complex numbers

CosmicScientist wrote:Or dividing by zero. Or dividing in general I suppose as fractions tend to let you understand numbers that are not whole.

for divisions they probably would have just worked with remainders, instead of having say, 5/2 be 2.5 they'd say it's just 2 remainder 1.

accidentally dropped a pot-holder in the oven when putting dinner in. Went into the kitchen and smoke was billowing out of the closed oven, ended up seeing the flaming pot-holder and then tossed water on it until it went out

Dude I graduated high school with died suddenly for unknown reasons.
Apparently just like, dropped dead. Everyone is fucking stunned.

Service is on Wednesday.

Thinking about it all makes me feel kinda guilty. The guy was not insecure just kinda sheltered and awkward, but everyone kinda understood him and loved him. He was more popular than he was secure being, to put it one way. He grew out of it over the years and really put a 110% into life. He got a law degree and moved to another country to start med school. Was engaged to a lady. Never did hard drugs or drank too much from what I knew, stayed in shape. Was a decent human being.

Dropped dead just like that.

And somehow I'm still here not hardly doing any of that shit.

If you asked me a month ago if I would've traded places with him I would've said no, but I would've had to think about it for a moment. I would've doubted it. Now look at us.

If some part of him still lingers out there somewhere, how does he feel? Is he satisfied he got as much done as he did? Is he pissed off? Would he trade some of that away to still be here? How much?

It's weird. I've confronted death before. Not the first funeral I'll go to, definitely not the last. I've had friends go, some not-friends too. Maybe it's that there was always some kinda reason. Sometimes you see how someone dies and cruel as it is you figure that they had that coming. "Yeah, he drank way too much". "Hung out with the wrong people." "Acted like a piece of shit." "Bad genes." "Bad luck." This is the first time someone my age just died for no fucking reason. Just knocked off for no reason.

I knew a guy who died of an Aneurysm. A friend from elementary school died in 5th grade from Leukemia. I'm trying to find next-neighbors and logical equivalencies and for whatever reason none of them seem to fit. It's just weird. Just weird.

I think one of them got killed by the Spartans for killing them a bunch of boy molesting poofters.

So this is like blogpost central or just talk about stuff?
Well my parents want a new deck since the old one is giving out and rotting. My brother has fell through it once. We're only half way done tearing the old one down. And its only the second day working on it. Im sunburnt all over and its only getting hotter. Whooo

Here it is so far:

When I last tore down a deck we kinda just hacked it to pieces with hammers. It was good fun. Also gonna be 24 tomorrow, exciting stuff

Thatd make it so much easier. I got an uncle who does decking for a living. But hes got an empty head so no help from him. And my fathers stubborn so we have to pull plank by plank and denail every single nail by hand.

Sweet! What are you gonna do for your birthday?

Fuck that, get a circular saw.

Dad moans? You have a circular saw and easy access to a place to hide corpses.

I'd rather not have to murder my mother, brother, sister, and grandmother too.

Nothing wrong with doing it the careful way if you are planning on re-using the wood. The one we tore down was too old, so we got to just batter it to pieces.

Yeah, reusing wood. Hahaha, I'd go out and take a picture of the rotten half wood beams but Im too comfy right now. Like the beams are half air, half wood.

yeah man all you need is to pry up the floor boards under your living room, then to dump the bodies in there, throw a bunch of nutrients and water on them, then fill in the hole and replace the decking. The water and nutrients will ensure they rot faster.

Hah, only place i could hide bodies, or dispose of them would be a fireplace. or go out into my goats pen and put them under the shed where it smells like shit anyways.

Base is cutting power for ??? hours tomorrow

It's supposed to break 100 degrees

I really dislike this place

Does your car have AC? This sounds like a good time for a drive.

Hahaha I don't have a car

At the gym today I had an average heart rate of 141 bpm for the better part of 90 minutes. It peaked at 161. I'm amazed I didn't burst a blood vessel or something.

I'd probably go with holoparasite or trading my tc with an admin for blob or alien

I'd check if I couldn't trade them for a magic mirror.

No real life lizard Firen?

I was changing my shirt and my arms got stuck in the sleeves when I pulled it over my head. I screamed "HELP ME, I'M LARGE" to an empty room like a total goober.

I did it! I managed to survive 24 years without getting myself killed in some ridiculous fashion, and not for lack of trying either. HBD2ME. Time to get drunk

TEAR IT UP SON

I met someone who claims they remember being born and called it "the worst transition of my life".

I very quickly came to agree with them. Yes, I also regret that you were ever born you stupid piece of shit.

Did they say that over the brim of their CrapBook Air whilst slurping black coffee?

Congrats friendo. I thought you were older than me, but whatever I guess.

Another day of decking. Made some nice progress. Feet, and arms hurt.

That's some nice progress, I tell you what.

Thats like half of my mothers wind chimes. She gets like 3 every 2 years

Not a friend of mine, a friend of a friend.

They said this while we were congratulating our mutual friend on the birth of their new baby.
Like, this person basically said "Hey congrats on having a kid I remember being born I hated it worst thing to ever happen to me" like it was super insightful or something.

at least your mom hangs them up near the house, mine puts them out in the middle of the yard where we have an island of trees so you stare out the kitchen window at 2am and you can't see them but you hear them but you never really know if it's the wind or something else.
