Me too, know my way around a computer but have never setup a linux distro or anything like that… yet.
I left in one of the mass exodus waves of reddit (during the api changes) and i feel like its not that consequential to be one person less on one of the biggest sites on the internet, but every person counts. Especially when what is becoming increasingly apparent is that all reddit will soon have is bots and ‘normies’ who use reddit instead of facebook/whatever.
Just FYI that cleaning spark plugs is actually a thing. Not common but sometimes they can get ‘fouled’ from things like oil or incorrect air/fuel mixtures.
Metalcore.
I love the raw emotion you can hear and feel in harsh vocals, usually the lyrics and themes explored in this genre are best expressed with screams, and sometimes its the only appropriate way to rail against injustices and corruption or express the anguish and headache of emotional struggles.
I also love the contrast that clean vocals provide, usually with pop-like hooks soaring into catchy choruses or just to really bring a juxtaposition with the harsh vocals to give even more depth to the things that are sung and the things that need to be screamed. And sometimes the heart wrenching emotion that the cleans can provide [listen to Gone With the Wind by Architects]. (Note: not all metalcore has both clean and harsh vocals, but often a combination of both)
And the music itself is high energy, driving beats rapid double bass drum patterns and catchy guitar riffs with often unpredictable tempo changes and transitions to take you by surprise and keep your brain buzzing with anticipation, and not to gloss over the breakdowns. Oh when that tempo drops, guitars chugg and the drums start crashing china cymbals like a thunderstorm erupting around your head and you just feel the need to bang your head feeling like your heart is beating out of your chest and electricity is coursing through your veins.
Anyways, i think its pretty good music.
I get this sometimes if i wear my black work polo to a shop after i finish work, though i take a small bit of satisfaction in saying ‘yeah no idea mate’ and turn and walk off and keep browsing. They usually stare for a few seconds with mouth open before they realise the assumption/mistake they have made

Its tradition around here to add a little extra hot sauce for the last dab
Another possibility: what if the manager had a bias and immediately lied to turn away the applicant because their race/gender/appearance/eyc.
Just to correct, the pagers were made by a taiwanese company, not chinese.
Just wait till OP learns that you need to counter-steer bikes to balance
I didnt think this needed to be said but making a joke at a bystanders expense, particularly a hurtful personal attack, is not ok.
Sure jokes are give and take with some good natured ribbing but this strays more into carless, or potentially malicious territory.
Are you also me?
We have neighbours a couple houses down that occasionally like to have people over in their loud echo-ey metal fence+patio back yard and chop their firepit wood every hour or so when they run out, sometimes well after midnight. I do not think they realise how far that sound carries through the night and dont have the foresight to chop during the afternoon beforehand.
Oh my.
A chamois is going to give a MUCH better finish, is silent and costs pocket change.
Maybe like the antivax movement we will see an emergence of an anti-purified water movement, where good ol natural unfiltered water is considered the best for you because your not removing all the natural protein and minerals present in sediment rich water.
Nothing will ever be as good as ghost chips though
I beleive they will, here in australia the gov has been slowly but surely driving up taxes on cigarettes until the point where its such an expensive habit that people wont get hooked in the first place because why spend all that money on durries when you could spend it on some much more enjoyable and affordable instead - before you get to the addiction stage.
This is along with changing laws to deincentivise smokers, such as plain packaging laws to remove advertising appeal, banning indoor smoking and smoking within x-meters of a building doorway, etc.
And now vapes are the new thing the tobacco industry is pushing they have outright banned nicotine vapes and cartridges importing and buying.
If they create a generation that never starts smoking then will anyone resist banning it by the time the last smokers die out?
It really annoys me that you think that

Vegemite is superior to marmite, but crumpets are best with butter & honey/golden syrup.
