1972coronet Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 "BC" is texting "shorthand" for "because" but only BC LOL OMG makes more sense.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Sense of the common variety is in increasingly short supply. 1
Big John Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Supplies are short in my local hobby shop. Edited May 19, 2023 by Big John bad taste
NOBLNG Posted May 19, 2023 Author Posted May 19, 2023 Shop supplies are something that should at all times be kept on hand.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 "Hand me that 9/16 combination, OK?" I said to the noob helper; the blank stare and cricket chorus made it pretty obvious we'd not be pulling the "help wanted" ad. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Cars are people too, and I treat mine like friends.

BeakDoc Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Lifetime achievement awards given posthumously are, to say the least, paradoxical.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Paradoxical is defined as seeming impossible or difficult to understand because of containing two opposite facts or ideas, as in: we're told that to save the planet "we should stop carbon emissions by buying renewable energy tech from China and shut down all our fossil-fuel-burning power plants", while China burns more coal than the rest of the planet combined, and has MANY new coal plants under construction or in planning.

thatz4u Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Planning should allow for the Murphy's Law to intervene..
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Intervene when you see a friend indulging in self-destructive or addictive behavior and they'll probably hate you for it, but if you really care about someone, it's worth the risk. Edited May 20, 2023 by Ace-Garageguy 1
