  • I went into a public restroom in a gas station once that was set up with a motion sensor. But I didn’t immediately know that. It kinda freaked me out for a bit when after like 3 minutes the entire room went pitch black dark. I thought their breaker kicked off or something, while sitting on the toilet.

    If it’s gonna be on a timer, it ought to be set for more like 10 minutes or something. I dunno about everyone else, but I don’t tend to do much of any significant movement when sitting on the toilet to keep the lights and fan on.



  • Oof, not really a lot to say there. At least we weren’t in the car when it happened. It happened at night in our apartment parking lot. My roommate was inside watching TV and I was on the balcony (2nd floor) on my phone.

    We assume it was a drug deal gone bad, and one of the people hid behind my roommate’s car as they shot at each other. Cops found something like 9 shell casings from a rifle and 2 or 3 casings from a pistol.

    Glad nobody was hurt. Thankfully both parties have since been evicted. Might have been nice if they covered the damages to the car, but the transmission was already screwed up anyways.


  • He did not get it fixed. He neglected to change the shaft seal, which ended up letting the transmission fluid to leak onto the clutch plate, which ruined the second clutch plate we had installed.

    That car became a serious headache for us. It’s since been sold to a neighbor that cares to actually take the time to fix it properly, then sell it to someone else.

    Also it doesn’t help that someone literally shot the car twice and destroyed a window and also cracked the windshield, but that’s a separate story.



  • I told Marine Patrol to fuck off in Mississippi. He threatened to arrest me. His passenger told him he was the one in the wrong, because he had no business laying on his horn like he did as he passed me on my bicycle.

    There was no sense in him laying on the horn. He could have easily caused me to get startled and wreck my bike. He would have definitely been in the wrong if he had startled me that much to cause an accident.



  • Interesting. I’m not quite sure what the laws were back in 1996, but yeah with school and all, plus the travel distance of over 30 miles, even if it was legal for me to work a few hours a day after school, it wouldn’t have been practical at all.

    Still nice that he offered the job, I was trying to brainstorm and troubleshoot why my first sound card didn’t work. Turned out he got a defective batch, like 3 other customers had the same issues.

    He knew I did all the proper troubleshooting already. Honestly I forget what model sound card it was, but once I proved it didn’t work, he gave me a different card that cost twice as much, for no extra money.
