I know from first hand knowledge what  rip off Snap-On is. The part I remember the clearest was a socket (not a set, just one) that had a book price of $32 and a cost of $.50.

That’s a 1/2 price deal from Snap-On.

It’s attitude about working while going to school which you did. The inference you made makes me hope I never need your counsel.

I think it’s attitude. 

These still exist? I thought they went the way of fidget spinners. 

I never said I did anything else. If you read the post I replied to I think you may understand. 

I really think it’s a regional thing. I knew at least a dozen people doing the same thing as I was. Going to school during the day, working nights, doing homework at breaks and on lunch. We had some many people going to college the union got he company to put in a computer center/ study room. It did take me longer.…

I went to college from 96 to 2002 and worked the whole time doing mostly factory work, so huh? 

I remember when the McDonalds opened in my home town in 1976. No Chicken on the menu, all the food was made in advance in sat in a warming bin. I went and met Ronald and got an autographed pillow/doll. The Hamburglar covered me with his cape and very sagely said “robble robble.”

You had to mention french onion didn’t you? Now I have to go out for dinner at a small rural supper club, have a few brandy old fashions and order a crock of baked french onion soup served in a vessel they purchased back during the Nixon administration followed by beer battered fish fry with coleslaw and the…

Agree 100% on the Matrix/Vibe. Had an Element and the windshield was a magnet for rocks. So much so that when I was replacing the windshield for the 3rd time the glass guy commented this was one of their most common cars to replace the glass on. He observed that the hits where always towards the top making him think…

I think we need to put IBM’s Watson on the task of calculating the ratio of broth to other stuff in soup that determines it is then a meal. 

Yes please can my work make more direct decisions for me? 

The point isn’t about the source, it’s about people making decisions for other adults. If you have a problem with it, don’t eat it/do it.

I want to be cremated and have my ashes used in the process to make small ceramic plates (sort of like Fiestaware) with my likeness in someway painted on them. Maybe as a hobbit? These would be the ultimate limited edition collectible.

Well legal sorta. You have to find a cemetery that allows it. 

But cigarettes are still available for sale? 

I remember a movie back in the 80's (I think) where a younger female character says when she dies she wants an apple tree planted over her so later her friends can come and pick the apples and say “doesn’t character name taste good this year?”

I have a dog and he is the only dog allowed on my property. Any other dog is trespassing and I will be happy to test the property defense laws after tasing the owner.
