Loading a vehicle or container for moving. I’ve had friends ask me to basically take over their move. And yeah, I may be a sucker for doing it, but I will save people hours and multiple trips while moving. I 3d tetris the hell out of a uhaul.

Height. I’m 6’6" on a good day. Top 99.897% in the world.

Reviving and programming REMBASS units. REmotely Monitored Battlefield Sensor System was a old ass piece of equipment when I was using it 20 years ago in the Army. You’d have to program different channels using another old ass piece of equipment. And very often they’d drop their fills, or not appreciate having a new, fully charged battery in it. It would frustrate people to no end because they’d spend hours trying to get it going, and then I’d stroll up talking all nice and pretty to the gear and shit would just work for me.

All you have to do in order to be a better than average driver is to be alert to what’s going in around you. I do that, and I drive fast. I’m an exponentially better driver than most.

Yeah. I have no problem paying for products that I happily use. Especially when they are supporting independent developers.

I stood up in my best friend’s wedding, and he took the photos at mine. I went in and covered for him when his wife started labor for their first child. I bailed him out of jail when we had a particularly wild night of drinking. We often have the same or very similar daily driver vehicles. I wrote him letters and post cards nearly every day when he was in basic training, and they were such a hit with his group, he asked me to write them all a letter. I’ve known him 18 years, could not with confidence tell you his age.

That’s a lot going on.

Is “kill yourself immediately” too dark? Probably. But if like three billion people died suddenly and without a massive environmental impact like nukes or some other poisoning of the world, could solve a bunch of problems.

Almost exclusively credit. And I don’t even play the game where you move stuff around to maximize points and all the other Bullshit. I just use the credit card through my almost exclusively online bank. Every pay day, first thing I do is pay off whatever I’ve accrued on the card the past two weeks, so I never carry a balance.

Back when I would go to the bars a lot, I used cash often.

I got a Chinese joint two blocks away like that. I saw someone eating there for the first time for the five years that I’ve lived in my house. The cook is also the delivery driver, and we are both on the same one way street, so I’ll see him drive past a handful of times a night. Not enough though. I don’t think it’s a front though. Just cheap real estate that he probably owns.

Our small, rural town had a bar change hands a couple times over the past few years. One day several murdered out Mercs, one an AMG, start parking in front of it. Not to stereotype, but they were greased up, wearing tracksuits and gold chains, guys from the Balkans are driving those cars and operating the bar. Never went in while they were around, but within a year, one of those guys got caught by DEA trying to move some serious weight of cocaine and meth.

The bar shut down pretty quickly after that.

You should be blaming his parents, he didn’t ask for all those problems to be born with.

Ended up taking down the soviet union. The whole meltdown is fascinating. I read a book about it. I think it was called midnight at chernobyl, so something like it.

No shit.
