[Lewd, car repair]

California youtube man: 🐰 ...and that's how to replace a radiator on a 2005 Honda Element! It's a fairly easy DIY, budget an hour or so.

My Pittsburgh ass: 🦝 I spent that long fighting with one rusted-to-fuck radiator hose clamp and when I finally got it off I made the exact […]

Here's the problem with car repair, or the problem with machines in general to a lesser extent but especially with cars and other machines that live outside. The how-to vids are all done on nice clean machines that aren't rusted to buggery

Game's called something like Dirt Rally 2.0 and it gives big Colin Mcrae Rally vibes, what I love most about it is honestly just driving through Wales while some bloke chirrups "left three tightening of a big jump" at me, just taking my gibberish-chatting pal out for a nice drive

Here's my Element's plastic panels after a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and paint thinner, brushed on, left to sit a couple minutes then buffed off. Took 20 years off them, easy. Check out the bumper and running board beneath this panel for a "before" example […]

my university email webapp's automatic correction makes a cowsay blush

A cow from the cowsay program. The two letters "o" making up the eyes of the cow are labelled with a red squiggly line below them to indicate a potential typo, which makes it look like the cow is blushing

Myspace? Skipped it, got the next one. Spotify, yeah nah that looks shit and my MP3s still work fine, I'll just give it a couple of years and get the next one.

There's always a next one

Looking at whatever hot new internet thing and going "I'll get the next one" like someone grumbling into an overcrowded lift

It's 2026 and you wonder what your friends are up to. You tell the app on your phone to go and get everyone's most recent news. Jim's phone takes a sec to load because his wifi is crap in the garden, and Alex's phone takes a sec to load because their wifi is crap in the workshop, but nobody […]
