  • I had a '93 F150 for a few years. It was a v8 5.8L with an extended bed. Until… I let my friend borrow it and he… redlined it for several miles in first gear, (accidentally put it in 1st gear instead of into drive, and didn’t noticed the extremely loud engine and the fact that he couldn’t go over 20mph… yes, he is that stupid lmao) until it began smoking and he pulled it into a random driveway. And then as if that weren’t bad enough, the genius homeowner popped the hood and hosed down the engine which, if you know anything about cars or metal, was the dumbest thing he could’ve done. Cracked up the whole thing. 😭

    But that thing was a fucking beast man. These new trucks can’t even fit a fucking 2x4 or a sheet of OSB in the bed. They are useless.


  • In my small town, we only had 4g lte, but it was quick. That is until 2 months ago, they ‘updated the towers’ to give us 5g… except now nothing works. My phone shows 5g but I have zero bars and zero service. When I switch phone to lte, it’ll show full bars but has zero service. It often completely drops to SOS mode. It’s ridiculous. Several people in town have contacted Verizon and the FCC and Verizon’s official response has been, “we are aware that service is not optimal in this area, but we currently have no plans to fix it. If you are unhappy with our coverage, we encourage you to switch providers.” It’s infuriating. They’ve “updated” the town’s service from LTE to broken 5G/nothing at all and said “yeah what’re you gonna do about it, leave if you don’t like it” knowing that their tower is the only tower in the area.




  • Yeah, my friends mentioned the drug-seeking aspect as well. It just seems ridiculous to write someone off that quickly though.

    I’ll check out that book. And the doctor already has me doing a sleep test this month due to daytime sleepiness and increased blood pressure, so maybe we’ll find something there!

    Thanks for the response.










  • I’m getting the same vibes. I was in middle school when I signed up for reddit 11 years ago, and I still remember an askreddit thread that was, “Reddit, what do you look like?” and the comments were just selfies. It felt so tight knit, even when it was eclipsing a million subs at that point. These days that kind of community is only found in the most niche of niche subreddits.
