1 of my roomates is hard of hearing, and he blasts his computer so he can hear it. He watches Youtube every day and about 90% of what he watches is that older car mechanic dude with the super annoying voice. I swear he's had to have watched every video that guy has made. I can't hear it in my room but anytime I go into the kitchen it's all I can hear.


I want to stab my ear drums out.


*EDIT* I just googled "annoying older car mechanic on Youtube" and his name's Scotty Kilmer. This is exactly what Google AI came up with

If you're thinking of an annoying older car mechanic on YouTube, the most likely candidate is Scotty Kilmer; he's a well-known automotive YouTuber who often comes across as grumpy and overly critical in his videos, frequently complaining about modern car designs and pushing a "back in my day" narrative.

Key points about Scotty Kilmer that might fit the "annoying older mechanic" stereotype:


Even AI knows his ass is annoying, AI is the future.
Introduce him to the magic that is headphones.

Back for the third week or so visiting my mom in the hospital. Decided to go see a Spring Training baseball game. Nightmare to get the tickets and then I went to THE WRONG STADIUM. Luckily the right stadium was about 5 miles away and I was able to see the game. 4th row seats( Actually I sat in the 5th because someone sat in my seat. But it was all good

I was going to post this in the I bought thread.

I bought another diabetes maker. Reese’s blizzard with extra Reese’s

The guy is also the first one to say, that is 79 cents extra, is that ok?

Then he forgot the extra Reese’s. 😢🤦

Installed a white Coolermaster Halo 120 in my case. It didn't fit because of the ginormous heatsink for the top M.2 slot. So I guess I won't be adding a 2nd M.2, oh wells....

Turning it on, it's SILENT, I love it. Ran Speedfan and the temps were pretty good. Then I opened Chrome and the RPM's ramped up to where it sounded like a fuckin jet engine. I don't know if it would be this loud running prime95 in torture mode. I know Chrome was a memory hog but I never knew it was a CPU hog too. it died down to close to silent but it's randomly ramping up when Chrome's open. And I'm not even doing anything on teh interwebs except growing a few forums and reddit.

Shit this is gonna be fun to troubleshoot lol.

Monstrously Dusty Fiberboard

I had on a well-fitting mask and still got some. No idea how people just cut this stuff with a t-shirt and a dream.

Modern iPhones are designed by incels. Touch it, it gets turned on. Look at it, it gets turned on. Tell it “no” and it still gets turned on. Battery life is crap until you figure out how to castrate the damn thing.
It's OK. We know you are new.

I got food from the Colombian food truck, as she handed me my bag and said thank you. I wanted to flex my 2.3% Spanish abilities and say thank you friend. I said "Gracias, Mi Amor" and about half a second later I realized I meant to say amiga not amor. There was no response from her lol. I go 1-2x a week so it'll be awkward next time because I'm sure she thinks I'm in love with her now.

Reminds me of my roommate when we went to El Pollo Loco drunk on a Friday night and he asked if he could order in Spanish since he was taking a Spanish class. He wanted dos pechos y una pierna (two breasts and a leg) but instead forgot what he was going to say, panicked, and blurted out an order for dos chi-chis y una panocha (two tits and a pussy). Two girls behind the counter busted out laughing and my roommate was super embarrassed. :tearsofjoy:

JFC, with the latest update, one has to go through the app list app by app to turn off apple intelligence spying on your every action. Turning off the main apple intelligence feature only turns off the suggestions feature, not the spying.
