How are the defense contractors, and politicians going to get PAID if we aren’t constantly at war somewhere.

Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by NiN

The video is beautiful, but the story, and timeline of cash’s later life, is heartbreaking.

It’s not flashy, it’s not in your face, but it evokes feelings in most people, and tells a story.

That too. AFAIK the only “acceptable” terms are San Francisco or “the city”

I’m guessing they thought the article were referring to the very tourist slang name for San Francisco.

Typically, for me, it’s been a situation where the guy was really physically attractive, but a an absolutely horrible person.

I’m really not sure why you’re getting downvoted for this. It’s true. Whether people think it’s “tasteful” or not doesn’t change reality.

I grew up in San Diego, so huge marine and navy population. There are a handful of bars that are super fun to people watch at (typically JUST off base) for this exact reason. Alcohol and desperation make interesting bedfellows.

For anyone else curious about exactly that the competition entailed

Extreme Relaxation represents a unique experience for individuals to determine their relaxation skills in the face of adversities and stressors. Each player in the Extreme Relaxing Championships is equipped with a HR monitor given time to establish a relaxed baseline. During the competition, individuals will be asked to relax while being presented with a series of distractions, the individual with the smallest amount to change from their relaxed baseline will be deemed the winner.

Not exactly what I was expecting, but interesting.

Restaurant/chefs do sell menus to other restaurants/bars/chefs, so they may sell that off, but the public would never know about it.

You largely have intuit/turbotax/quickbooks/mailchimp/whatever other name they use for that process. Or at least the paying for it part

There’s mention of the PPP loans (the ones that were forgiven) which means the people being charged are related to fake businesses or businesses that lied. Govt isn’t going to go after a business, but they will definitely go after the person that signed their name on the dotted line.

Oh, yeah, I totally know WHY it happened. It guess I worded it wrong. Why was it allowed to happen would be a more accurate question, but I know the answer to that too. Trump and government as a whole being bought and paid for.

It’s maddening that there was so much fraud, while legitimate businesses often got very little or no help at all. There were SO many hoops to jump through for PPP/EIDL I really don’t understand how all these “companies” were able to get money. They wanted payroll reports, tax filings, licenses that are easily verifiable online. Ffs the first round of PPP we couldn’t get anything because first the banks had “exhausted all their funds” on all their “whale” clients. In our case our bank was out of funds before the application was even online to apply with. Or if you had a certain business structure (totally legit, mind you) they didn’t have a backup plan for 1 form they required. The see so many consumers so angry about PPP loans being forgiven, but I feel like most of those people don’t realize the actual small businesses typically got screwed both ways. As a small business and as a consumer.

The samurai is an amazing little vehicle. They are pretty adorable too.

It’s getting very difficult to find parts for the FB. There are a lot less people who know how to work on them, or are willing to work on them too. They are a blast to drive, and every time I think I should sell mine, I go for a drive, and remember why I can’t.

A few pics of mine…

I’ve had mine for about 15 years now. It’s a 1982 GSL with all the original factory options. Mines pretty heavily modified though. It made a huge 89rwhp on the dyno out of the carb’d 12a.

Just about everyone I know has trouble fitting in all the fun cars. I’m relatively small, so I fit great in my rx7 and Miata.

I think you have to be part of the greater car community, at least, to know much about one, but probably a smaller niche of people looking for practical vehicles that are fun to know about the samurai.

I love the first gen RX7, and while far more well known (the FD anyhow), than the samurai, there is a LOT of confusion and misinformation out there about my car and the rotary engine in general. I feel your pain.

Running. Ok, I know it’s not obscure, however, if you say you’re a runner, or that it’s a hobby, you’re frequently met with hostility, or people trying to talk you out of it. The amount of times people have said “running is bad for you, you need to stop” is insane.

Don’t be mean, or shitty about it, but be absolute. “This relationship is no longer working for me, and I cannot continue to see you anymore.” Not, “IDK maybe we shouldn’t see each other anymore.” Whatever variation of how you say it that works for you in fine, but no wishy-washiness.

Cut all contact after. It’s very rare for people to be able to be friends with an EX. And it’s even harder in the immediate time after the breakup (that’s how you end up back together) I say this as someone who is friends with multiple EXs. Those friendships took time, and space, immediately after the breakup.

Every breakup was totally predictable, and for a/multiple VERY good reasons. I don’t regret any relationship I’ve ever had. Some I learned some things that immediately made me a better person, others took me reflecting later on, to make me realize things that ultimately helped me improve as a person. Regardless I learned something from every relationship/partner. A lot of them were red flags to avoid, and traits I couldn’t be with, but I learned things
