Rants *enter at own risk*

@Beta0, welcome back! And Rowan Atkinson is always a good answer (unless the answer requires a quote from Ghostbusters). You're handling the host-hopping better than I have.

[lynxster4]

Welcome back, also @Beta0 .   Yes, it's a real chore rehosting all your images.  Took me quite awhile.

 

I see you're from Puerto Rico...that certainly explains why you've been gone from the forum.  Hope everything is alright down there.  

[Beta0]

Oh, @LionsDragon. He sure is. ? Wait...why Ghostbusters quotes are the exception? ?

Well, I just have to find another site to upload my images. And find the posts I published some other images in tutorial threads (if they're not locked) and, this time, in the questions and discussions threads...again. ?

 

 

Tell me about it, @lynxster4. ? And, now, with the other ones I've posted... It will take some time. Just not in a single day. I'm on other sites (like Talenthouse and Ello.co), plus I have to help with chores and taking care of my grandparents. Yep...

 

Yep. First, Irma. Then, María. The latter hit us pretty hard. ? We (my family and I) had to wash clothes by hand. Good thing someone decided to add something like this in the laundry room at the apartment. ? I had to get out more (something I barely did before) to do some errands, like buying necessary stuff, charging electronical devices in places where there's electricity and keeping the house clean. I even had to learn to cook! ? Plus, we got a little fellow, a cat, a few days after the hurricane. ☺ Now, the electricity's been established where I live. And, also, I feel like a new person. ? I feel more cheery than before. ?

Sometimes very good things happen as a result of tragic circumstances...it makes us stronger!   

[LionsDragon]

@Beta0, Ghostbusters quotes are the exception because it's my favorite movie.

 

I'm glad you made it through all right, and congrats on learning to cook! (Hit me up if you need recipes.) Thank goodness you have electricity back, and yay for the new kitty! Glad you're feeling better too; it sounds like you're going to come out stronger than the hurricanes.

 

 

[Beta0]

That's true, @lynxster4. And they change us, whether is for good or bad. I heard that, now, people actually acknowledge others after Maria. I've seen people helping one another. And that is awesome. ?

 

Okay, @LionsDragon. Got it. No messing around with Ghostbusters. ?

Thanks a lot. ? It's not just me. This atmospheric event changed almost everyone. It feels good. ☺ (Oh, yes. I would gladly ask about those recipes. I always cook with instructions...and do some wacky stuff with what I find in the kitchen. ?)

it's so difficult to face problems in life. Why don't they give problems like x + y = 10, x - y = 6, in real life.

[Beta0]

@Pratyush Math problems can be easy to solve. Life's problems...not so much. Nonetheless, they both have solutions. And that's good. I hope you can get through whatever thing you're going through. :]

Earlier this month I hurt my back mopping the floor. I'm 22.

 

Another thing, I'm on my last week of my internship period, they are not really giving me any new tasks so all I do is sit and do nothing! Boredom!

Yesterday, my "check engine" light came on so I took my car to the shop.

 

For the record, I have a 2006 Toyota Highlander (Hybrid) with 498,000 miles on it.

 

They said that I need to replace my fuel injectors...

 

...total cost $2300!

It appears that Git GPG signing does not work if your GitHub username starts with a number.

Or it could be that I did not configure the GPG key correctly, the GitHub documentation does not clearly state what username it requires or how to configure the email address when you are using GitHub's noreply address.

 

 

[LionsDragon]

You have my sympathies. Half the reason I keep stalling on recoloring mine is a small bathroom.

[RFX]

Heya! Some humor that's long overdue! Lol

Needed an "L" in lol, because it was gett_low...

[Woodsy]

I don't care what my wife says, I'll risk everything to deal with punks like that!

They need to learn a lesson!

 

Cowards!!!

[LionsDragon]

@welshblue Good for you! Could have used guys like you and @Woodsy when I was in school.

[TrevorOutlaw]

@welshblue

 

Basic decency is increasingly being thrown out of the window.  I don't know why people film instead of trying to help.  Did that homeless man make it?

 

As for my rant, I have two...I botched a trimming job on my beard and had to shave my face.  The beard made me look older, wiser, and now...I look like I am in my 20s!  Grrr! 

Second rant...sore throat started yesterday, and that is always a warning sign a cold is coming.  Sigh.  I bloody potato hate cold.

[LionsDragon]

@TrevorOutlaw actually, now you look like a drill sergeant. Not someone to cross!

Seriously bad news about the beard 😐 (Sorry can't help laughing)

 

Yeah, my wife was cracking up pretty good when I stepped out of the shower after shaving.  Mind you, I haven't shaved my face clean since I was in high school, over 20 years ago, and I always had various facial hair, but never clean shaven.  I just like the sophisticated look beard give.

Rant:  this past week, due to the snow storm, my power was out for 4 straight days. 

 

Then it was on for a day. 

 

Now, due to the 2 new feet of snow we got yesterday, the power is out again. 

 

AND

 

I couldn’t drive to my house tonight because the roads hadn’t been plowed and a huge tree had fallen across the road to my house!

 

 

[Pixey]

I thought you lived in California You've had more power outs than my daughter in South Africa 🤣.  Oh ........ I forgot you have PG&E 😱

We've got a big dry spell going on. Nelson has a large fire into it's seventh day - which is not usual for New Zealand.

3 flakes and it's panic buying, 3" and it's at a standstill

 

You evidently haven't been to Virginia.  Whenever the weather report says snow is in the offing, there's a mad stampede to the grocery stores and the shelves get cleaned out as if the Apocalypse was coming.  Then...you have those yahoos who think sport car or those driving fancy Hummer (H2 or H3) thinking they can go no problem in snow and only get stuck because...they are dumb.  It gets worse with tractor-trailers.  I am glad Pennsylvania banned tractor-trailers in their state when a monster snowstorm heads to the New England region.

 

In North Carolina, there was a snow that dropped several inches of snow, and you would think those city folks would know how to drive in snow.  L-O-L.  One yahoo decided to redline his engine and it combusted into flames, destroying his Camaro.  The Internet had a field day with making meme out of the photograph.

 

Here's one example and it get me cracking every time.

 

 

[lynxster4]

Those images are priceless @TrevorOutlaw!      We Northerners laugh...a snowstorm in a southern city will grind that city to a halt.

In Pennsylvania, we just keep on truckin'.  Not to say there aren't any accidents.

Just 3 weeks ago we had a 'substantial' snow event. I travel a 33-mile stretch of Interstate 79 to get to work...there were 5 accidents along that stretch,

mainly 'fender-benders', though, a couple looked totaled.

 

Regardless of being able to drive in snowy conditions, Spring can't get here soon enough!
