    Your own? Nice :) time to counteract that with a website I helped made for someone I know very well https://creodesignandbuild.business.site/
    That’s for reminding me to watch that :p

    So, removing of iRacing account is progressing wonderfully, we are exchanging quotes from law books right now.

    I have got many different reasons from them of why they can't remove account, first it was that Steam only can remove account on their server, then they claimed just that they can't remove it, but kept offering deactivation. Now it changed to tax reasons, I'm pushing bit harder now and maybe I get some final truth squeezed off from them, but also this is starting to be quite juicy story.

    I have paid 0 cents to them, there is no financial relationship between me and them, so I'm quite curious what will be their next response.

    Just figured I'd share my homemade power supply I made a few weeks ago
    Yes that is a bent piece of steel holding the voltmeter, no nothing's holding it on besides the wires.

    I also took my vintage AM tube clock radio in to shop today to see what my teachers thought of it, the upperclassmen teacher helped me identify it as a jewel 940 which was only made in 1949 and he was especially surprised when I plugged it in and it worked perfectly, the only things I've done to it are replace the cord and wipe 20+ years of dust off of it, as far as I know the tubes and capacitors are original.

    iRacing went silent for a while after I questioned them about how reasons why they can't remove account is changing all the time.

    Eventually they did answer and agreed to remove the account, while admitting that my points were correct.

    I guess they did check my points with their lawyer and could not find any way to deny account deletion.

    Knowing the law is useful at times.

    You know the downside of playing with mods?

    Trying to find one mod in 150+ mods that are removing the windows on the Roamer. God, please help me!

    Guys, you CAN do it. It might be hard, but you CAN do it. Run that extra lap, ask that girl (or guy) out, use Internet Explorer.

    I've had extreme social anxiety in my life. I've been medically diagnosed with GDD and GAD, I'm on medications, and I seek theropy. I work at Micro Center, a workplace of about 98% males. There's two female managers and one female cashier. I swallowed the anxiety, got the cashier's number, and we have a date come Thursday.

    You CAN do it. Everything will be okay.

    Also a PSA: mental health is just as important as physical. Look after yourselves. Even if you just start with 3 things. Hydration, hygiene, hunger. They can't fix your problems, but bneig hungry, stinking and dehydrated can certainly make it worse. Look after yourselves

    This might be a touchy subject, but maybe try not to drink as much as you do. That will help immensely.

    This is my first time where I photoshopped using the Huion GT-190.

    Well, I switched between both my Huion and my main monitor frequently actually, but is still the first time I ever done a Photoshop involving my new Huion.

    We all have our demons. It could be much worse, but it's just a personal tradition of mine to go to the bar every Friday. I don't get absolutely shit faced, I set standards for myself. Be able to drive, be able to understand what's going on. As long as I can do that, I'm good.

    Mr. Mature over here, getting his drinks in bottles at a bar.
    I prefer canned natty light bought at a convenience store where the clerk doesn't look too closely at my id.

    Oh no, Rolling Rock is 4.4% piss water, but it's a favorite of mine and where I am in Ohio is both hard to find AND only comes in bottle. Mr. Mature gets a pint of Guinness with his lunch... Like I did today, actually.
