Kinda off topic, but why do homeless people always seem to have a phethora of bike rims? Like just the rims

Aw man. Get me a bowl of cocoa puffs.

Free chocolate milk after you're done. Yes please.

I saw one in person 2 days ago. I took a picture, and none of my coworkers think it's a real picture (or that I took it).

It was surreal. I could see it coming from WAY down the road and I was thinking to myself "there is absolutely no way I am seeing a cybertruck right now"

I am dumbfounded they actually made them. I still can't believe what I saw the other day

Yup!

I'm thankful I have a place to stay with family. Now my money I was using toward those insane bills will be used for paying off my debt. I just need to lay low for a bit, get everything paid off, save up, and I'll be on my feet again!

Jeez, It was a rental I had for a month about 2 years ago.

And for your information, it was a single chicken taco. There were no cars around. I'm not talking LA I5, this is in the middle of nowhere and I had to make an emergency drive up Eureka from Sacramento.

My and utilities finally caught up to me and I lost my home about 2 weeks ago...

The utility company here was responsible for burning down the entire town next to us. They passed the lawsuit payments onto the customers. My bill went from $50 a month, give or take $5, to $200 to $300 a month.

I mean, I'd use partial self driving on I5 to eat my taco bell, but I'm still paying attention to what's in front of me!

I was drunk and couldn't drive, so my wife took me to get more beer. She asked me to put gas in our vehicle so I did because it was cold out. I noticed the pump behind me had the nozzle sitting on the ground which was hilarious to me. I took a snapchat picture and posted it saying "what a dumbass!" then I went inside to get my beer.

I get back in the truck and I'm having a grand old time showing my wife what the idiot behind us must have done when I hear the "CLUNK". I was told I turned as white as a ghost. I'd done it. It was my fault.

I went inside, the cashier knew I was drunk (I was being obnoxious). I was profusely apologized and admitted it was all my fault. She went outside with me, explained it didn't break and that they can reattach it, BUT there's a charge.

The cashier then said to me "get in your truck and get as far away as possible immediately. I didn't see you, this didn't happen, and I don't know what happened to the camera footage. Have a nice night."

I hopped in the truck and just told my wife DRIVE. Security came rolling up as we were leaving (by chance).

Tony Pizza!

I saw a video Jamie Hyneman made where he went to a comicon event (I think) and he just simply walked right through. He didn't stop, but he was friendly and said hi to everyone he came across.

Despite being so famous, he never created a crowd, and he just kept on walking and saying hi.

I've applied this to the chatty Kathy's at my work and it works every time. Just a quick "hey there!" without stopping. It never fails. Every once in a while I'll stop so I don't look like a jerk, but it works!

This is why some copiers won't work if they run out of a color.

Some models use all colors to make a deeper black.

Water.

Release the pressure in your pressure cooker near them.

I work on copiers for a living. Seriously, fuck HP.

I swear they're designed not to be worked on. Just speaking of the fuser on any Laserjet photocopier, they heat up and cool down constantly. Obviously stuff is going to break and it needs to be repaired.

HP says fuck you! On the little desktop printers, on some models, you have to take all plastic panels off, and they all connect to each other so good luck getting it put back together right. They're built exactly like a rubix cube. I literally clip off plastic tabs and just leave it. The customer never knows.

I've been through official HP training. They told me "we can't teach you on a specific model because we average a new model every month, so we'll just give you a ball park on what to look for"

I stopped calling HP support because they don't even know their own machines. Shout-out to Laser Pros, they're the best.

I'm going with the Mellotron.

It's a keyboard that uses strings of tapes for each note. It pulls the tape over a head and plays that note until the tape runs out. When you're playing fast, sometimes the tape isn't all the way down, so it makes everything sound super custom.

Think Strawberry Fields by the Beatles. That's a Mellotron you're hearing.

I was walking around one morning and heard that unsettling futuristic electric car noise.

To my surprise, it was an electric school bus! It looked like every other school bus, but the bottom was blue. I saw it take off too, it seemed like it had a lot of giddy up to it.

I always thought this too until I had the opportunity to go into an Olive Garden kitchen.

The chef back there was very, very proud of the work they put into the food there. Almost everything is hand made. It was really nice to see.

When I was a kid, it was Yosemite.

I was obsessed with GTA San Andreas, and that was the big truck in the game, and it was my favorite. I was pronouncing it like "yosa might" for a while until somebody pointed it out, and then I connected the dots
