When I started interacting with a non-binary person more often, the only reflexive pronoun that came to mind was ‘themselves.’ As in, “They bought themselves a pair of socks for their birthday.” It felt a bit awkward since I couldn’t shake the plural association in my head, but I still used it to be respectful.
Then I remembered that the word ‘themself’ exists and I felt stupid.
They were designed so that the wheels would be the same width as the tracks on an Abrams tank.
And this is exactly why we don’t see small trucks like Rangers or Dakotas anymore. I don’t know if it’s because it’s impossible to make an engine that efficient or if manufacturers are just lazy, but the consequence is that they can avoid stricter efficiency requirements by simply making bigger (larger wheelbase) and heavier (body on frame vs. monocoque) vehicles.
It’s got a 6’ bed, perfect for lumber or whatever else. It also has the extended cab with the jump seats, kinda useless for people but I keep ratchet straps and other junk back there. My only complaint is that cargo space is very minimal if I don’t want to just throw it in the bed, like luggage or stuff that’s weather-sensitive.
Yup! It’s an ‘09, and I got it from some old guy who barely drove it so it was practically brand new. I’ve put over 150k miles on it since then, with the only major maintenance being a new clutch. It’s got a manual transmission, manual locks, manual windows, and a plain-Jane radio with an aux input - it’s all I need and nothing more.
I did get the chance to drive a 2020 Ranger once, and it was very nice and cushy, but didn’t feel like a Ranger, if that makes sense. Didn’t help that it was just as big as an F150.
I’d probably do the same if I had a four wheel drive vehicle, but it doesn’t snow too often where I live so my little 2wd ranger performs just fine. Sandbags in the bed, drive slowly and deliberately, and keep a set of chains when shit really gets bad. It bugs me how some people in my area have a mindset where they think they need four wheel drive in the snow. No you don’t, you just can’t drive like a moron.
collectively make a fuck-ton of noise
Wow, they really are the perfect mascot for the US
Asparagus made a lot more sense to me once I saw one go to seed. It branches out and looks more like a normal plant. We just harvest it before it gets to that point. Same with artichokes, they’re just an immature flower bud.
At this point I’m so desperate for a woman to want to spend time with me I’d take it
/s but not really
Their secret? They had superior morale and esprit de corps!
I flip off the breaker, just to be safe.
I bought one of these toasters because of this video
A turbojet is just a desk fan with extra steps
That sounds like some Dark Souls/Evangelion shit. “Harvest the blood of the fetus after pulling it from its dead mother”
It’s worse than that. Inches are base 12, ounces and cups are base 16, machinists use thousandths of an inch, and surveyors use tenths of a foot!
One mile is 5280 feet, one foot is 12 inches. One square foot is 144 square inches, one cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches.
1 gallon of water is 8.34 pounds, and 1 cubic foot is 7.48 gallons, so a cubic foot of water weighs 62.38 pounds. If sand is 2.3 times heavier than water, a cubic foot of sand weighs 143.5 pounds.
I am 5 feet 10 inches tall, or 5.83 feet, or 70 inches. I weigh about 220 pounds, or 3520 ounces. If I’m 65% water, I carry about 143 pounds of water, or a little over 16 gallons.
Guh
I hate myself, let’s talk!
I think this is my issue as well. You always hear about how women hate being approached, and I really don’t want to come across as a creep who hits on women in public.
