That was one of the things that happened. His behavior made me think of a child having a tantrum. It was so cringy. --- Post updated --- There's also one where someone wasted one of those sauces by throwing it onto the ground and crushing it. That had me thinking "what a waste" when I watched it.
Being in the field of PC repair, but in the middle of retail job central sucks. Especially when your mom says you shouldn't be commuting. :/ (Yep you read that right, at 21 my mother is dictating what I should and shouldn't do still)

Gods sake, I had a bit of fun today. I'm helping out a friend who asks me "hey, move my car since you're not doing anything else". I cut off my finger at work and while reattachment is going well, I can't use my left hand. Wonderful for helping a friend move house if I can't carry much. So the car I'm to move, it's really old and badly maintained. I'm used to a ford ka which weighs nothing and has a handbrake. His car's a giant family car and he parks it on a hill. I'm not familliar with it and I'm not brilliant with hillstarts. Well, the handbrake is made of cheese and to stop it rolling back you have to keep it in gear with the clutch engaged. I don't have the knack for driving like that. So >Car is in gear. Footbrake holding it in place. >Get the bite on the clutch >Attempts to release the brake and get on the gas >Stall, rolls back, catches it with brake. >Calm down >Repeat process again and the car rolls into a tree. Well, at least the tree helped and no damage. Didn't have to worry about holding the car in place anymore. How the fuck do people without usable handbrakes manage? I must find a place to practice this.
You'd probably need to learn heel-toe for that, or you could just try to avoid stopping in hilly areas bahahaha
You know what's annoying? When you're looking at jobs online, and you see your current employer trying to fill your job... for $1.20 an hour more than you've been making since you started there over 1.5 years ago.
No hills? But I live in the UK! My street's a hill. I'ts been an entire year this year of regretting not having little situational skills I ought know that I've never needed to use. It's how my finger got cut off in the first place. Determined not to roll another car into something, heel toe? Educate me for I seemingly passed without actually learning to drive.
Never kicked in just how cancerous smart TVs are until it unmuted itself (not just the youtube player, the actual built in TV mute) so it could blast a youtube advert in my face... First and last smart TV I'll own, they are just horrible to use in general. At least it won't last long, all these shitty modern LCD TVs only last like 4 years if you're lucky... This one already has huge blotches of dark and purple spots on the screen after only 2 years.
Seems that everything now is designed to cram advertisements down your throat, the worst are the ones that auto play videos with sound and you have to search all over the web page to find and mute it...
Yep, the smart TV really reminds me of the bloatware that comes on a laptop or phone, aside from the youtube and awful browser app everything else is a monthly paid subscription or 30 day trial.. Would never have chosen one on purpose and only have it because our last Samsung LCD TV died after only a couple of years and the smart TV was the only thing the half assed warranty would pay out to cover.
I still keep chugging along with an old portable CRT TV, might replace it with a small LCD or something soon, pictures starting to get kinda blurry, probably due to ageing capacitors. I've got the focus control on the flyback set as far as it can go too. Might bust out my ESR meter and check some caps but I think it may be past its due..
It's a physical disk I bought brand new. I get Error "ce-41839-5", Which isn't even in Sony's error database... Odd, I can see a call to tech support soon... :|
I had to learn to deal with hills pretty fast moving into my college dorm. I had quite a surprise when my handbrake decided to go on vacation while I was on a fairly steep hill. I got through it, but I did manage to burn my clutch a bit before I got the hang of it (although that only happened when I realized I was rolling backwards and had an "oh sh*t!" moment). The trick for me was just moving my feet very quickly from the brake to the gas and focusing on what I was doing. I managed to figure it out pretty quickly, and I grew up in the great plains with almost no hills, so I'd think you should be able to get it pretty quickly given that you've been dealing with hills for quite some time. Maybe the whole finger-getting-cut-off thing is throwing you off. I'd imagine you still have to get used to it being reattached.
My mum brought a smart TV a few years back that later turned out to be a 3D TV as well and it came with a free PS4. she uses it to go on Netflix from time to time.
