What do we think of "MacGyver"?

I love MacGyver. I have the whole series plus the movies on DVD, and have started watching it again with my daughter recently. She's 4, but will remember episodes she likes. I want the one with the eagles. I want the one with the store (Blow Out, from season 3. That was a tough one to figure out). She likes that he helps people and always wins. Sounds like a good role model to me.

Anon doesn't have a plan

Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear youre having such a bad time with it. I'm a mechanical engineer, and love it. I only have a bachelor's, though. So maybe I got out of school while it was still fun. It took me a couple years after graduating to get something in my field, I came out of school during a recession. I worked 3rd shift on an assembly line those years. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy Mech Eng at some point.

Anon holds her bf

I cried the other day, and my wife laughed at me as the tears rolled down my face.

Of course, I was waking up from a colonoscopy and crying about the fact that McDonald's doesn't serve Big Macs at 9:30am.

Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing?

My father was a penis inspector, like his father before him. He had to work for years at a penis factory to get by, working long, hard hours. All while taking penis inspection classes at night. When he finally graduated, he said it was so satisfying to tell his boss he was quitting, and that from now on he would be inspecting his work. He went on to be the best penis inspector in our county, and oversaw Penis Inspection Day at 4 public schools and 7 private for over three decades.

The fact that they think they can automate this entire proud profession with one scanner in a public bathroom is an insulting joke. It's a single camera! How will it check the underside of the shaft for melanoma? Can it check the foreskin for proper length and cleanliness?? How does it check erection durometer? Not to mention urethral diameter. For fuck's sake.

Player two has entered the lobby

You guys realize this company is tiny, right? The guy stabbed isn't some rich CEO. He just runs a machine shop. In Muskegon. Which is basically nowhere. Also, the guy is expected to live, and Nathan was arrested in 15 minutes. This story is no comparison, it's just sad.

Outrage as new Aussie car tax ignores 'dangerous' mega-utes

I just don't get modern truck culture. They're so big, and ugly! They are such an inconvenience to everyone else on the road. And I doubt even half the people who own then do truck stuff with them. They're way to tall, the giant tall grilles look stupid. Their stupid headlights shine in my face. A 2024 Colorado is bigger than a 1994 Silverado. Why? I hate them even more than people who wear pajamas in public.

Everything is a problem

I helped my dad install a new dumb thermostat last winter. We just had to drill a couple of new holes to mount it, and moved the wires over. Boom,there was heat again. I thought about how much of a pain in the ass it was to get my Ecobee working, and how refreshing it was to just have something work immediately.

It's a very similar feeling to playing my GameBoy Color again after messing around with retro gaming linux handhelds. You just turn it on and play, then just turn it off. No boot sequences, no emulator settings to tweak. No SD card corruption that ruins your game library. Just on and off.
