Today, I'm defeated

Yeah, I thought so too and I kept on going thinking I would just turn it 180 but the terminals are offset to one of the border, not centered, so if I turn it 180°, the terminals would be closer to the windshield. Positive cable reaches it fine but not the negative one, the cable is too short.

And yes, that was an amateur mistake, I am an amateur :), one less that I'll do now though.

I appreciate your advice, there's probably something I haven't thought off.

Today, I'm defeated

All the garage around are on vacation currently and it started as a pretty straight forward job, and the battery would needed to be ordered anyway since my car is 30 years old and the model not common here. I thought I could manage before my garage was open again, and now that I've started, I will finish what I can, since I've invested effort and time.

I'm exasperated today because I got very deflated when I thought I was pretty close to finish, but I will enjoy the process once it is resolved, however that will be.

Hey, thanks for the spoiler on the unsolicited advice, it is so thoughtfull and I appreciate both, the spoiler and the advice. Thank you :)

You mean.... You can ... Bottle up petrichore ??? How come is there no wide range of perfume/candle/lotion and whatnot?

Can I make it at home, if so, how would I go about it with everyday items? Can streptomyces cause health issues?

I honestly think that humor is the answer to most if not all issues. Bit iffy since we don't share the same but humor is the answer. That and puppies and kittens....

Edit: and elephants!

Is the cure to toxic masculinity... Positive masculinity? Rule

Compliments are hard to take for some, and it sounds like you find it patronizing and creepy. This is for this very reason that I was really hesitant as a woman to compliment men, I'm more or less the same generation.

One time late at night, I had no makeup on and was very frumpy, going to buy a six pack at 7eleven. There, a gorgeous gigantic drag queen told me "Giiiiiiirl, look at your faaaace, you're so gorgeous". It was so so so cool and made me feel like a queen. So from then on I thought fuck it, I don't get compliments often and when I do, it makes my day. So now I do whenever I am sincerely impressed or enjoy something.
