  • I got three different playa phones. One for each part-time shorty.

    But I really have a work phone that they pay for because I am absolutely not putting any work shit on my phone. No teams, no outlook, no workday, no authenticators, no emergency alerts. I think a guy who got fired was using it as a playa phone or porn phone. My boss said his data use was always maxed out and everyone else used roughly 1-2 GB.

    I only take it home on weekends on the rare case i want to check an email or request time off through workday. It does come in handy while camping/road tripping. I charge it up and turn it off then toss it in the glovebox as an emergency phone.

    We used to have pagers as recently as 2022 which seems way more sketchy for the time but i miss them. Always worked, only got important notifications, smaller.





  • The town home next to ours was abandoned and had the smoke alarm beep every 60s or so. We tried calling the city and they were no help so we broke in and handled it ourselves.

    It was a weird system where the smoke detectors were hooked into the security system which was hooked into one of those soda can sized 9v (12v?) batteries in the basement. I guess that battery was dying. Disconnected that and the beeping finally stopped.



  • I’ve worn a pebble smartwatch for a decade just to avoid all the annoying noises our phones make non stop. So i keep my phone on silent and I’ve got the pebble set to only get notifications for texts and calls neither of which i get a ton of on a daily basis. I like to be able to glance down and either ignore or pull out my phone and deal with.

    I am also a big fan of leaving my phone in the other room and dont wear the pebble a lot on weekends just to get a break.


  • The hopefully only car I’ll ever total was about 20 years ago. I bought it for 7k and drove it for 5 years. They initially lowballed me at like 3k. I was able to show them Kelly blue book values and current used market it was closer to 6. Ended up getting a little over 5k.

    Of course in the 5 years since I got the car the used market was nothing like it previously was. A comparable purchase would have been 12k not 7k.






  • Ahh a “good christian man” he was anything but. Why do all of the “good christians” go against everything Jesus taught? Why do they only use his name to oppress others? A true christian would welcome and accept those that are different not try and belittle and shame them for their differences.

    Begone CHUD.
