just hold them end to end and figure it out

 

Heart disease? Lung cancer is more likely

 

that really sucks

 

FWIW handling any kind of chemicals bare handed can contribute to liver cancer as well. I worked with a guy who washed his hands in mineral spirits every day and died of liver cancer in his 40s

 

Why the hell would you wash your hands in minimal spirits!

 

it gets the paint off faster than soap and scrubbing

 

Because anymore and it isn’t good for you

 

Hmm. Guess so. I tend to wear gloves... since they’re free. They do drive me nuts though

 

@Running Man sooo is that 4runner. A submarine yet?

 

But it’s flooding down there ain’t it? Put helium in the tires. Might float this tine

 

Oh. Must only be Houston

 

Hey just cause I'm high on pain killers doesn't mean I don't know what you are doing Tyler Piedad.

 

With turd water

 

Oh hai. Nice of you to join

 

the missouri river is flooding here again with all the rain in SD
i stopped at the rest area just south of Sioux City, its very close to the river, and I told the guy from Kentucky flushing the urinal to STOP THAT you are going to flood the river even more!!!

 

me almost every day at the high school I went to in Oregon...moved there in 10th grade and didn't know a soul. I actually started to eat lunch in the bathroom because I didn't want people to see me eating alone lol I eventually made a few friends but.. then we moved again.

 

fuck, dude, that sounds really brutal. It really sucks to be so alone at school

 

looks like the cool table to me
you can just sit and observe all of those stupid shit people out there

 

You have an incredibly nice Klipsch setup as I recall.

Selling stereo systems was easy money for a student in those days. Home entertainment consisted of a 19-25" RCA or Zenith TV with some console stereo with 33 RPM changer. Direct drive turntables were new. A Sony Betamax sold for $995.00. VHS had just arrived with the freeze frame feature that sold for $1,200. This was before the Best Buys and Box Box discount stores. Walmart was basically selling portable record players.

Everything that used a magnetic cartridge was considered high-end audio at the time. I could roll a new system out the door for $1,800 to $2,500 at 5% commission while the store had a mark up of 35-40%. It was good money for a young guy in his early 20s.

Everybody had to have a system that had bigger speakers than their neighbor. Klipsch Heresey, Cornwalls, and the JBL 4311 studio monitors were the top sellers at the time.

Once in a while a Dr. would come in and buy something in the Belle or K-horn range. We sold a few Atari games on the side -- but they were early and really primitive.

I remember reading a trade magazine one day at work when these little computers from Apple and Commodore appeared on the cover. I knew business would need those for bookkeeping. I had no idea they would become anything beyond being used to manage inventory, sales, and some office use. I decided to dive head first into the new world of business computing. My world started changing, for the better, soon afterward.

Learning TCP/IP when it came out was one of my better moves.

 

Especially middle & high school, kids are cliquey as hell. I mean, people are in general but at least as adults we starts to understand what it's like to be empathetic lol. A lot of people talk fondly about their high school years, I wouldn't go through them again for all the money in the world.
