OK, I thought this was a study that was actually performed (and just happened to be written by a snarky author) until I got to the part about the effort scores. This is some high quality absurdity.

I know very little about psychology but doesn’t this seem like a common symptom of some other issues, rather than its own disorder?

If you’re handy or just curious, I recommend looking for an automotive repair manual for your specific car online. Sometimes you can find them for free and they have great info.

You should also look up the maintenance schedule and make a spreadsheet to keep track of what has been done and when maintenance items are due.

Because this car is new to you and you don’t know the maintenance history, you would be wise to change all the fluids: oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid. Change the oil filter and engine air filter. You can potentially do all this yourself with the repair manual and a few wrenches or you can have a shop do it. It’s important to know how to use a torque wrench if you’re going to install a transmission oil pan. It’s important to know how to properly bleed brakes if you’re going to change the brake fluid.

Congratulations on your new car.

I’ve plugged many tires with these kits and they work great. Just remember to read the instructions. You have to use the rubber cement as a lubricant to jam the tar stick into the hole you create with the gritty screwdriver thing.

Lube it up. Don’t just try to cram it in there dry.

This man has a distaste for slut salad.

Haha, I also came back to check on the popcorn guy.

Don’t be such a borehole.

How’s that popcorn tasting?

Thank you for letting me follow you on this unremarkable journey through mediocrity.

Care to elaborate?

I ride an ebike to work and to the grocery store when I feel like it and I think it’s great.

I got a ride1up Turris. It tops out at 28 mph, which feels like a good pace on a bicycle. When the weather is nice, I use it to commute about 15 miles round trip to work, which requires about 0.4 kWh of electricity and a little over 20 minutes each way. This is compared to about 0.7 gallons of gas and about 15 minutes each way in my 20 year old truck.

So, if I charge the battery half at home and half at work, I pay about 10 cents a day for energy for the bike vs about $3 a day for the truck.

I hope lots of people start commuting on ebikes, given their decreasing cost. it would be a great way to reduce our carbon footprint and get a little exercise. It’s just the right amount of exertion where I feel like I get my blood flowing but don’t get to work all sweaty and gross.

For Longest Time On Record, so far.

They used cromulent wrong, unless their day was an acceptable fuckcrustable.

If you want to ban abortion but not make contraception free, just admit that you are a fan of human suffering.

Don’t most brick and mortar stores also have websites that deliver? Just think of what store might sell what you’re lookng for and buy it from them or at least compare prices.

Most scientists are working with the hope of making a dent in what we don’t know. There’s no shortage of “we don’t know.”

I’m trying to sum up the vibe here but I’m having a hard time thinking of the right word.

Please tell us more about this stupid wife.
