A repair cafe?? Im not from the EU so I’m not familiar with the customs, but is it like a cafe with tools instead of food? Or is it like a community repair shop where people go to work on stuff?

Edit: I normally would recommend choosing to bike or get rid of a car if OP wasn’t about to go broke and cars make for amazing shelter as long as you can maintain them.

I know how to find people, it’s in my name. Thus I also know how to make it difficult for me to find you.

Learn to do things yourself. Let me give you a few answers

• Car oil change: $35 for both the oil and oil filter. Would be a little over $75 if I had a shop do it.
• compare prices when buying food, same with the amount of food in the container compared to the price.
• spend in cash, easier to follow a budget if you have physical money in your hand.
• buy things from the second hand market, my laptop that I use was $1100 MSRP, got it for $750. That’s a good deal
• don’t eat out at restaurants
• eliminate monthly services.
• fix broken things. I fixed my aunts AC window unit for about $10 with a used run capacitor from eBay. Would have costed a little over $300 for a new one.

There are lots of things I could talk about, and some of these things involve learning a bit, and some time. As someone who was without a job for the entirety of COVID, it forces you to be thrifty.

That is some pure innocence right there.

No I haven’t seen it.

Other people have amazing reasons not to come, so Im not going to add on to that regard. But if your coworker chooses to come, here are some points to take into account when traveling

• Don’t make it look like you going to be staying for a while.
• Be the gray man: don’t take it literally, but don’t dress fancy or to rugged. Blend in. If someone takes a photo of you walking by someone else, you don’t want them to say “yeah he went over there”.
• be situationally aware: don’t be the bumbling idiot with a phone in there hand and earbuds in when walking in public. Keep your head up, wear sunglasses so people can’t see where your looking. Stay alert.
• avoid the bad areas: do extensive research on the area your going.
• Cash is king: harder to track and create a profile about your purchases with cash. Don’t carry to much otherwise that is a good questioning point
• shit hits the fan: if you noticed your being followed, stay calm and keep moving, make it look like your stoping in a store and go out the back door. Keep a change of clothes, hat and sunglasses. I’m not an expert on evasion but there are plenty of guides out there
• don’t bring your personal electronics, use 2nd hand burners for your travels, just use them a bit before coming as to not raise suspicion.

Found them, and they do in fact, taste like bar shit.

No, it was something else. The gas station that had it stopped carrying it. But these things had to be made of rubber.

I can find a pack of 6 for 1.25 but they taste like absolute garbage.

This is a good read, hopefully this research on how the brain evolves gets used for helping people with speech impediments.

Congratulations on having a strong immune system, but others aren’t so lucky.

Tor usage and proxy usage will be on the rise in Utah.

They are pretty hilarious when they fail.

I was able to get through after a solid 20 seconds.

Well, I recognize a few people. But I’m to busy to really post and comment to much to be known. But hey, while I’m here does anyone recognize me?

I sit in front of a screen for 8 hours with breaks and that can make my eyes hurt, so I can only imagine what that can do to a pair of young developing eyes.

I definitely think there should at least be a penalty of some sorts for parents who don’t actually parent and let the iPad raise there kids.

If I ever have kids the best they will get is a Nokia flip phone. Not gonna let big tech raise my kid.

I’m assuming the hospital didn’t let her out for accessibility reasons, other then showing them the wheel chair, did they ask for pictures or videos of the accessibility modifications or did they come to your house and inspect it?

Also fuck cancer. Must have been tough having to do all of this and getting that diagnosis.

This one is a good read, wish there was a good way to camouflage my license plate from these readers.
