My car has a DVD player and a CD changer and a radio in the dash. When I bought it, I soon realized it wasn’t receiving radio stations properly.

Last week I finally had the time to pull it out and look at it, and (unsurprisingly with this car) the previous owners had done a hackjob of a Sirius satellite radio installation to it, which involved plugging the car’s antenna into a little box that then ran another antenna wire to the car’s radio. All of these many feet of wire were stuffed inside the console haphazardly, of course.

So I pulled it all out, reconnected the car’s antenna to the radio, and it worked perfectly again. Also instead of using a car plug with the car’s cigarette lighter to power the Sirius radio, they had hardwired the male end of the car plug into the car’s power system… they didn’t even have the decency to cut the car plug off and splice the wires into the system, no, they just touched the wires to the metal parts of the plug and taped them in place. I still haven’t had the gumption to get in there and disconnect that particular hackjob.

Just… leave your cars stock, folks. Don’t add any of those goofy additions to them. Nobody wants them and they’re just a pain for everyone else.

No Pokémon, however. I generally don’t like that game and did not know that my current avatar included a character from that game.

Vetoed.

Sounds reasonable.

This is literally every day as a freelance graphic artist.

We live and we learn.

Pathetic.

Here’s a short 2 and a half minute Youtube video that’s relevant and informative.

This timeline shows confederate monuments are about racial conflict

For those of you that don’t want to watch (of course, some of it is meaningless without having watched the video for the full context);

This makes it pretty clear that these monuments weren’t just trying to ‘celebrate history and honor the noble Confederacy.’ They were erected to scare and intimidate black people, plain and simple.

I found this thread to be incredibly informative on the subject. All of Georgy_K_Zhukov’s posts about it are worth reading.

Very interesting read. I’m actually subbed there, but I must’ve missed that post, so I’m glad you pointed it out. There does seem to be a very clear shift from honoring fallen soldiers to wholesale romanticization of the Confederacy. Personally, I have no problem with solemnly honoring the fallen soldiers, but I think it’s wrong to try and honor the Confederacy as a whole. Whether the war was fought solely over slavery, or slavery was just one aspect of an overall disconnect between the North and the South; it can’t be denied that slavery did play a part in the war, and the Confederacy was on the wrong side of that issue.

I definitely agree.

Tomorrow he’s gonna pardon the hurricane. Let’s face it, there was destruction on many sides.

Stealing this.

Can you be fucking serious about how absolute one hundred percent shit this President is? I am so incensed right now that I can barely formulate a sentence that properly conveys my absolute putrid disgust for one man.

We seriously have to impeach this fucking buffoon. Everyone write your congresspeople. He’s making a mockery of our great nation.

Downloaded it the day of and just got done watching it the second time.

It’s a damned masterpiece, Ady. I dunno what else to say. It was like watching the film again for the first time. Absolutely fantastic. Blown away.

There’s a Trump tweet for every situation Trump is in.

3 Chief of Staffs in less than 3 years of being President: Part of the reason why @BarackObama can’t manage to pass his agenda.

I guess it takes one to know one?

I’ve been enjoying watching the reactions going on around him as McCain kills the bill. I especially like Bernie’s “Hey, get ready for this” nudge and point and the staredown between McCain and McConnell after the vote.

Incredible.

I had to write McCain an apology letter last night after ripping him in a previous letter earlier in the week. At least he can do the right thing sometimes. Good on him.

And yeah, Priebus is out. I wonder just how far Donald “Lame Duck” Trump is from just firing and replacing everyone. At least he can get something removed and replaced then.

This is going to be talked about for hundreds of years as one of the most embarrassing eras of American history ever.

Jesus. This is what I always wanted as a kid.

Can I rent an apartment there?

I do wish it was a bit more OT than ST though. But who cares it’s Star Wars Land.

That wampa is incredible. Holy crap.

Hey I missed Mark’s

What You Meant

not that i don’t trust you, but i would rather hear from a Tuesday professional. Tyrphanax what do you say?

I agree with Frink’s position on this Tuesday-related subject.

%2C is URL code for a comma, and %27 is URL code for an apostrophe so when the affected user types one of those, it’s converting them into their URL-safe codes. No idea why it would be popping up in non-URL entry areas. Very odd.

I lived in Canada for two years and the “eh” has worked its way deep into my vocabulary. It’s a bit annoying.

Write your congresspeople, folks.

Yes please.

Yeah, the screen is a goner but the good news is that you’ll be fine using an external screen for an extended period of time. Not really a big issue aside from losing the portability option.

Job postings should all say “Hiring anyone but Tyrphanax for X position.”

That’s awfully sad. The guy was a legend.
