@strudefiles Very cool! Congratulations! When is she due (and do you know the gender)?

@johndilworth But, hey! How about those 5 minutes, huh? That was all you. No one can take that away from you.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to johndilworth

@strudefiles Honest to goodness, laughed out loud. Nicely done.

Bonus of the day: I just noticed there’s some toilet paper in one of my window wells.

Does leg shortening surgery exist? Asking for a friend who just learned they’re too tall to be an astronaut.

via Tweetbot for Mac

@stevenf Given your general sentiment, does that mean “least bad”? Serious question.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to stevenf

@cliftonlabrum Yes. And Words of Radiance, and most of @BrandSanderson’s other books. They’re all favorites. Like grape/cherry snow cones.

Speaking of the clutch, its pedal pad wore off, leaving only metal - it’s really slippery with wet shoes. Don’t pop the clutch.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The foot rest next to the clutch broke off, so each time you rest your foot, an audible *clack* is heard. A great drum peddle.

Unrelated to my awesome car, I just finished The Wheel of Time, again. I started in June, but I fit in a few other books along the way.

The upholstery on the passenger door is bubbled and warped, thanks to cracked windows during summer… and the associated rainar

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

An old bumper sticker came off, but left a residue, so there’s permanent gunk in the sticker’s shape on the bumper.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The driver’s door hinge makes a really loud creaking sound when opened or closed. But only sometimes.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

I’m pretty sure there’s a new hole somewhere in the exhaust line. It has an extra hum to it these days.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

@willie I’ve had it since ’01 - roughly at 95k. It has near 210k at this point. Still runs rather well, despite these silly flaws.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to willie

@willie Yep. I can’t _really_ complain about it. It’s had a good run… despite the issues I’m articulating now.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to willie

@willie A ’90 Acura Integra. It’s in its final days, and I’m finally acknowledging all of its problems.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to willie

The heater makes a loud squeaking noise (like the fan needs to be oiled), but only for a few minutes… then the sound stopsar

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

Given the frameless windows, and the bad seal between them and car, you always question if your windows are fully rolled up.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The shocks are shot. You can feel every bump in the road as you drive. It’s like free massages every time you drive.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The cover is missing for the place where the seatbelt retracts. It’s right by your pocket, and catches change. So, that’s nice.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The trunk doesn’t pop up. So, when you release the hatch, don’t jostle the car, or it’ll lock again.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

Given that last tidbit, water once started dripping inside the car after a particularly heavy rain. Heads up.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

There are also rust spots by the top corners of the windshield. They’re smaller.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The window tinting is bubbling and peeling all around the car.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The air conditioner compressor went out years ago. The cost of repair is higher than the value of the car. Summers are… hotar

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

Rear of the passenger-side door, there is an ever-growing rust spot (currently the size of a couple silver dollars).

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The driver’s seat-back has a hole (about the size of a dollar bill) in the left edge. Seat covers are a must.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The motorized radio antenna makes loud popping sounds whenever it retracts.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The windows leak if you use a drive-through car wash. You’ll get sprayed. Even with the windows up. Fact.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

80% of the passenger-side exterior door handle broke off.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

@cliftonlabrum If a eulogy were to publicly acknowledge all of the faults to which we’ve turned a blind eye, yes. It’s been a good run.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to cliftonlabrum

The cover over the center brake light broke off, so every time the brakes are used, a white light shines inside the car.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The replacement rear view mirror (glued to the windshield) broke off.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

The inside rear view mirror broke off.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

Rear window defroster doesn’t turn on.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to longbored

@beep That’s nothing a bit of Bluth-style diamond dust cream won’t handle.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to beep

Driver’s side door no longer opens from the inside.

via Tweetbot for iΟS

@chockenberry I’m surprised you didn’t go CHOCK style with that, because that’s a pretty funny joke.

@simplebits You’ll love the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. It’s the best™ place!!!1!!ONE!!

@beep Where’s a “wish I could pre-order that” animated .gif when I need one?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to beep

Fine. I admit it. I freaking _love_ @Spotify’s Discover Weekly. I look forward to it each week.

via Tweetbot for Mac

@beep I hope you saw this. Only use it for good. twitter.com/b_ru_ru/status…

@FiveThirtyEight Is it because Fletch didn’t know how to use a computer, and we’re waiting for a poorly-done, but plausible, remake?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to FiveThirtyEight

I feel like I should respond with a ⭐️ now that they changed it.

via Tweetbot for Mac

jasonfried Can you give me a spec picture frame and then I’ll decide if I want to pay for it? youtube.com/watch?v=essNmN…

Ate some more whoppers. Still delicious. /cc @rands

@camposanto Unsurprised the LA and SF fans are at opposite ends of the photo.

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to camposanto

Just saw somebody try to stream video over public transportation wifi. Good times.

via Tweetbot for Mac

@willie You’ve read/seen far more than I have. Either that, or I just don’t pay attention.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to willie

@willie Sure, you _can_ wait, but why bother? I’m more excited for this movie now than I was before. Still rather clueless about the chars.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to willie

@willie What’s your definition of spoil? You get plot hints, but no real clue on where it’s going. The title tells you more than the trailer

via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to willie

I watched The Trailer. Although I feel like I have some idea of the premise, I feel no more informed than before.

via Tweetbot for Mac

I could probably get close if everybody had mechanical keyboards for their computers.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to longbored

I wonder what a present-day workplace would sound like with electronic typewriters instead of computers.

via Tweetbot for Mac

When you say “Worst candy ever: Whoppers”, I hear “I don’t know how to eat Whoppers.” /cc @rands

via Tweetbot for Mac

FYI, Jacob 4:4 starts with “For, for”
