Finally, ich finde Leute gern mich!

I've carried that with me for years. I always try to buy long-lasting quality items for this very reason.

Not to mention that, due to inflation, those ten dollar boots themselves will cost 20 to 30 dollars before long.

Yeah I put 30k+ miles on the car just doing instructing, then I often also drive when I go on holiday, putting at least a good 500-600 miles on the car if I go away on the weekend (which is often).

I've had dedicated works vehicles which I've put fewer miles on the clock 😂

Can you run one locally on your phone?

That last point sticks with me.

I always used to get the cheapest, shittest tyres just because cost, but since I became a driving instructor a few years back I got into the mentality of thinking "I need decent tyres because I don't want my learners to lose control of the car"

Normally I'd buy tyres once every 6-8 months after squeezing out every morsel of life from them, but my current Bridgestone tyres have been on for nearly a year now - doing driving instructor mileage on top of my usual - and they're not showing any signs of needing replacing yet.

The fact is I'm actually saving money doing it this way, because whilst the tyres are more expensive, I'm replacing them much less often.

I'm going to try out Pirelli next because it sounds like they've started lining the inside of some of their tyres with that puncture repair stuff and padding them out with foam to significantly reduce road noise.

I'm sure you could write an entire collection of books on the irrationality of Brexit.

As James O'Brien graciously puts it: "We are the first country in history to have placed economic sanctions upon itself"

This is for you, just for geeking out about ink and paper ❤️ have some Lemmy Gold 🪙

But yeah, I remember writing with fountain pens when I was at school, but I was awful with them.

I did get the hang of it after a point, though, and the writing was always beautiful when I got it working.

I may have to invest. It'll give me an excuse to write some handwritten letters to friends and family ❤️

It's amusing to me because back in 2006 when I went to college, I was the only person in class taking notes on my dinky 10" notebook laptop and I loved not having to carry around ridiculous amounts of bulky folders and paper. Nowadays, I have a 2-in-1 laptop and use a stylus to take notes instead!

Fuck Heinz in general. They don't make things taste like actual things, just sweet crap.

Their tomato sauce is terrible. Tomatoes taste tangy, not sweet.

I this to 3 click in brain read Lemmy that post for in shit to

Great success!

It's not gay if balls don't touch. And I ain't seeing any balls here!

DM;H- oh no, an ocelot!

And we've seen already that Trump doesn't care what people say or what rulings are made. He's going to sit there on his throne and DARE someone to try and throw him off it.

Of course we know it's less about Trump himself and more about what his crazed lunatic mega fans are going to do to you if they know you're against him.

Remember that the people who have been sent to El Salvador didn't go there by themselves. ANYONE throughout that process could say "no I'm not doing it", but that means they'll be the next one on the plane, shoved on by the nearest trump-loving drone.

And they'll justify it because they're "just following orders"

Nothing. Nothing will happen, and at this point anyone who thinks otherwise is only fooling themselves.
