I like this one by Kenji Lopez-Alt:

I've skipped the meat and it's still good. Don't skip the vinegar, though.
It was the fixation of businessmen that the WPA did nothing but lean on shovels. I had an uncle who was particularly irritated at shovel-leaning. When he pooh-poohed my contention that shovel-leaning was necessary, I bet him five dollars, which I didn’t have, that he couldn’t shovel sand for fifteen timed minutes without stopping. He said a man should give a good day’s work and grabbed a shovel. At the end of three minutes his face was red, at six he was staggering and before eight minutes were up his wife stopped him to save him from apoplexy. And he never mentioned shovel-leaning again.

People are flat earthers for the same reason people are centrists. They want to feel superior to everyone, so they choose a ludicrous position that can be defended with their level of understanding and shout loudly and refuse to engage whenever someone challenges their position.
I really thought this was going to end up like W.E.B. Debois's "Why I won't vote".
Stupid post. Basically, "Democrats have done nothing for me, but I'll keep voting for them."
I mostly buy Carhartt/Dickies/Wrangler work wear. Flannel shirts, insulated hoodies, triple stitched carpenters pants. I have no sense of fashion, but they hide my fat and are durable, cheap and comfortable. Walmart and tractor supply carry them in big sizes.
You can still use a flat bottom wok on a convection stovetop. The main strategy to use is to cook everything in small batches, letting the wok reheat between batches. I do it all the time.
I got arrested driving home from Thanksgiving an hours drive from my house. I was passing 2 cars on a long straightaway passing zone on a regular 2 lane road. I floored it since that's the safest way to pass in an area like that, but a cop was sitting in the dark on the side of the road and clocked me at 98 in a 55. Got charged with reckless driving.
I'm paying extra for not having any social circle where I live, I literally didn't have a single phone number of someone to come get my car. My partner was with me, but she never learned to drive so they towed my car and she had to get cuffed to ride with me. Then I got processed and released but we were now stuck at the state police barracks even further from my home. Called every cab company and tried Uber and Lyft but couldn't get anyone to get us home.
Eventually they were getting ready to kick us out of the state police barracks at midnight when it was below freezing outside(and I didn't have a jacket). So I tried to find a hotel that was open and finally found a weird roadside place with cabins that answered. We started walking and a cop leaving the barracks offered us a ride, but then told us we had to be in handcuffs to ride in the car. So we get to the hotel and the owner sees us getting uncuffed in his driveway and I had to tell him the whole story so he didn't think he was letting freshly released murderers stay on his property.
We didn't have anything we needed, no phone chargers, medications, warm clothes, etc. I didn't sleep at all without my meds and started feeling really janky the next day.
Then I still had to get my car back the next day, but it was towed to a different town 30 miles away, and they weren't answering the phone. So we had to take a cab home, which cost $250 because the nearest cab company was 40 miles away in the wrong direction.
Now I still have to get my car back on Monday, which is 25 miles from my house. I thought about walking it, but I'm afraid I'll get there and not be able to take my car for some reason and I don't think I can walk 50 miles in a day. I found someone on Facebook that is going to drive me, but they're in a completely different town, so that's going to cost me another $150.
I wanna say fuck the police(and I do), but this is sort of on me. I still think the cop could have just wrote me a big ticket instead, but I did go 98 mph. Police tows are just punishment though, since if I was broke down they would leave the car there for 5 days before towing it. It's also bullshit that the tow company gets to charge a much higher rate to tow and store the car than they would get from AAA or someone who calls them directly.
It's frankly embarrassing that I have nobody to call in an emergency, I'm seriously thinking of joining the episcopal church just to get a little bit of community. I'm not at all religious, but I met the pastor a while back and she's a really kind lesbian who moonlights as a social worker.
I'm not sure why I just posted all this, I guess I'm just stress dumping. I also don't really have anyone else to tell about it I guess.
Any fitgirl repack of a switch game comes with a fully configured version of yuzu. You could download one of those(Google fitgirl repacks, it's the first site), and remove the system files.

Sign up for class action settlements. Every few months I go to topclassactions.com and go to the open settlements section. I sign up for every one listed that doesn't require proof of purchase. I also double dip by signing up in my partners name.
It's not a ton of money but I probably spend an hour doing it whenever I think of it and occasionally get some surprise money a year or so later. Usually they end up being only a few bucks, but over the years I've gotten thousands from it. Just got 2 $89 checks last week.
I've had luck finding pdf repair manuals on torrent sites and on web forums. The Haynes/Chilton physical manuals are convenient sometimes, but the factory service manual in PDF format is usually better quality especially the diagrams.
I found this, it's for a 2014, which I believe is mk6: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s7wts7x85s2yu9e/2014%20Fiesta.zip?dl=0
Hope that helps, enjoy!
