Lemmings living in red states, how’re you doing?
  • I grew up in a progressive city in a gerrymandered-to-hell swing state. Cheeto's first win promptly sent me into a tailspin there. I've moved a handful since but now find myself in MT 80 miles from the border, you know, just in case.

    Red up here is different than red down there. There it was like rubbing salt in the wound, here it's quite obviously because there aren't enough people to know any different.

    I'm nonbinary and have been laid off in Florida about it, so I no longer disclose that information professionally. It's not the most pleasant, but hey, hiding in plain sight is a really good way to see what's coming down the pike.

  • have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work?
  • -I got detention in high school after a teacher overheard a friend of mine asking me if we had homework and i said, "fuck if I know." Worth it, lol. -I got fussed at working in retail if they heard me swear but never officially written up

    -at my first accounting job the controller screamed FUCK from inside her office once. Swearing was generally fine here

    -current job i said "fuck yeah" in a meeting with no consequence. Swearing is generally fine so long as it's not within earshot of approximately 2 specific people.

    I swear.. a lot. All the time. I do attempt, at least, to be mindful of the when and where, which is working out for me so far.

    Edit: reading comprehension failure, I'm usa lol

  • minis!

    Hose timer/valve that is on/off for specific time?

    We have a motion activated sprinkler to deter deer from eating our tomatoes and I'm looking for a timer that will shut off the water flow during the day. The ones I've seen at the store seem to only want to water intermittently, instead of completely off/on. Does anyone know of one?

    Cleaning engine bay/ miscellaneous crannies

    So, that insight we bought last September so far seems mechanically sound, but, so, so dirty. I'm not sure how best to approach it but waiting till spring because our garage is not heated and it's cold as shit up here in MT.

    My biggest concern is safely removing all the little mouse poops that are literally everywhere except in the cabin. I fashioned a cardboard cone with gorilla tape to our shitty shop vac to clean out the spare tire well but I'll probably need a smaller cylinder to reach them in the engine bay and battery compartment. On top of that it seems like dirt/dust is underneath all the trim. I believe the previous owner lived off a gravel/dirt road. It's the kind of dirt that doesn't wipe away the first time, and I don't want to ruin the dash/plastic/vinyl miscellany with harsh chemicals.

    Insight is mostly aluminum so I need to double check cleaning methods to avoid. I've taken dish soap+bronze/plastic brushes to the back of the wheels (also aluminum)but sandpaper has been better. Haven't touched the front of the wheels with the sandpaper as it seems to have a gloss coat of some sort on it and would prefer to have its replacement on hand before removing it.

    Ideas?

    I think it defaults as muted but I included sound. Pardon the party music, the construction guys near the parking lot were having a blast today lol. Anyway. It's been cold as fuck the past couple days and this noise only happens on start after sitting several hours cold. I'm guessing either starter or belts but haven't gone investigating yet.

    Snow tires kicked ass this morning. Didn't slip once. First snow of the year and they hadn't plowed yet.

    2001 Honda Insight Tire Adventure Update

    Was scrubbing gunk off the oem rims yesterday when UPS rolled up with our new steelies. Did a fitment test and finally got the damn winter tires ordered this morning.

    How do you decide what to do with your beard?

    One of the downvoted posts in this sub showed up in my feed so I figured I'd pop over and ask y'all a silly question.
