I'm already pissed at wearing a ring. Hey, how the fuck do you deal with gloves? This sounds like I will be pissed 24x7. With a soft watch band that isn't so obnoxious... GODDAMMIT my typing is slower. Shit.

What a great idea, print your own ring sizers at home... https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/lipswwya9xry7rh0169y9/AJa083dB9Hy9czDAiAmBf6Y Because I hate people and going to a mall.

You missed his really major retardation. The specific point of the fuel tanker story is that the thousands of gallons of gasoline couldn't fix him needing a gallon of diesel. Alanis Morissette did a song about that. Pretty typical lack of understanding then going off with idiocy based on it. Sad. Also any idea what the fuck a sensu stricto is? I just realized I'm wearing a shirt that contains the solution to this battery problem. They're a local company that makes sodium batteries to replace the fragile AGMs in EVs. They gave me a shirt and I didn't have the common decency to give them a reach-around buy their batteries to prevent this problem. Expensive.

The gas trucker I know is my neighbor's brother. He was over last night (which also explains my hangover today, fucker). He had a good laugh at having a massive high-voltage battery (gasoline) when all you need is a couple amps of 12v (diesel). Also he'd never heard these great ditties...

A friend is a gas delivery trucker. He said one of his guys ran out of fuel while delivering gas. Same thing? Can a nuclear plant have a power outage? It's 2025 and a "modern" car still needs a damn jumper pack in it. Retarded. That would have saved a lot of time, most likely, but then I would never have discovered a great place in Vegas. I just noticed that a firmware update was applied related to this, which is surprising. Meaning it isn't updated automatically, as I apply all updates immediately. It's unfortunate that there's absolutely no way to talk to a Rivian mechanic, ever. Isolated by a moat and crocodiles from the customer area.

Someone asked if I had a problem with premature ejaculation, and I said no, I enjoy it just fine. Alt punchline: No but my wife seems to!

I don't know how Rivian settled the bill, but I made sure to give my assigned manager all of the details of their fuckups leading to the extra time and cost.

When I go to get sized, it should be interesting.

He was pretty good, except for the jumper cable retardation. I think maybe I have the energy and patience to type this out now. The jumper cables were 87 years old, rusty (in Arizona, impressive), and mangled. They didn't work. He fucked around with things and then they sort of worked. Got the car jumped. I tell him it will take 5-7 minutes for a full restart so be patient. Every 45 seconds, I hear sparks. He's fucking with them. Dude, gonna need 5-7 minutes of solid power. We get to a full startup, things are looking great. I start the next step and BOOM! Dark. Everything is off. WTF. Get out to go look, he disconnected them again. Anyway, fuck 12v lead-acid batteries. And dumb Paki dispatchers who think the intersection of highway 95 and 68 is the same as 93 and 68, causing many more new problems with the battery. Had I known ahead of time that all this would happen, I'd have driven over to the surprise free charger nearby, but I also thought that getting off the main highway could be worse if that didn't solve the problem. (It likely wouldn't have, shorted cell.) Were it not for this fuckery however, I would not have discovered the best cigar lounge on earth. I was the only white person there. Totally unusual demographic. Good music, great hospitality, and an $11 soul food dinner.

My one and only experience with Interstate will remain my only one, hopefully.

I already get that from the Apple Watch!

Another WTF moment brought to you by...

I have this on order: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/circular-ring/circular-ring-2-worlds-most-advanced-health-tracking-ring?ref=user_menu Also, going to be in the beta test group for the first home device that will do a variety of hormone and other "blood tests" but with spit instead, at extremely low cost, with results in minutes not days. I need to keep tabs on a couple things that have been high for me for decades.

I can't make out where your math went wonky. I can buy semaglutide for $1/mo and they sell it for $170/mo. Now, they do have to pay someone to mix it with bacteriostatic water and put a label on it, so there's a cost there too.

Pretty sure they tack on their doctor/prescriber fee on top of that. The cost of semaglutide even in small-ish quantities (300mg) is $200 for a 200 month supply of the average dose. Yes, I said 200 months. These fuckers are PRINTING money. And it's $320 shipped for 66 months of tirzepatide (vastly better than semaglutide and nobody should use semaglutide at all).

Oh yeah, @superhawk996 has accounts that he shares with friends, and batteries are a top discount item. I think 30%?

More than I would have paid at Sam's Club or Amazon. That company has astronomical prices. I have no idea why anyone buys from them. Probably a lot of FaceBook and TikTok ads? Where the morons hang out. Speaking of Amazon, many of these companies should die soon, as Amazon is offering all they do at a fraction of the cost. The in-house RX for $15 (one-five yes) and then the drugs for $5-20/mo.

That's another thing, batteries are often undersized. I think we can all agree that life is better with a bigger Johnson. Also I used to do tech work for JC.

Modern cars lock the rear wheels automatically in park. The tow truck likewise only locks its rears. So he would lift the tow truck's rear wheels with the bed, push the bed out to push the tow truck forward, and unload my truck a few feet at a time. It didn't take long. Pulling it up was pretty easy. They have these hard plastic pads to put under the rear wheels which drag super easily in the forward direction. (The tow bed has one-way serrations, they don't slide back easily.)

EVs have the same 12v Achille's heel, and my experience is that they have 3 years max in them. Despite not having a starter load. But maybe because they are more deeply cycled? Ask me how I know.

There are many sites that have been providing Wegovy and Ozempic with a self-issued prescription. It's the same thing that those sites do with sildenafil, ramelteon, etc etc. They just have Indian/Paki doctors on "staff" churning out prescriptions. Same with Amazon too, and super cheap on what they sell.

LOL, he means he bought drinks and dinner, didn't get laid. Gotta read between the legs lines.

I have a gray market med contact in Ethiopia, but again mostly around peptides. I'll ask if she has ideas.
