Much Older Today

I have #nightmares that people that don’t #backup the data on their computers and smart phones. All those lost photographs, special memories and events they will never be able to share with children and grandchildren. Backup often & check the backups are working. #ProtectTheData

@Pedroayaray4 AAA TripTiks. Fold-out maps as a backup when you wanted to go wild and off route. Don't forget that cooler.

Road trips used to require real planning. You needed paper maps, a stack of 8-tracks or cassette tapes, snacks, and someone who could navigate. And calling "SHOTGUN!" before anyone else was a matter of survival. No GPS. No playlists. No smartphones. Just adventure.

Well, a jump from about $11.50 per kilo to $16.25 for PLA+ overnight... guess we're not making that order today! #3DPrinting amzn.to/4pvYJBg (afflink)

My 5th @Prusa3D got here yesterday, my second MK4S kit. I started with a MK2 many years ago, than a MK3 followed by an XL and my first MK4S. I'm addicted to speed, quality and access to support and replacement parts. I'm so happy that @PrintedSolid is now "PRUSA USA"! #3DPrint

I bet no one across the country will be able to guess this?

@Mind_Pulse_X amzn.to/4aRkTI1 (afflink)

Very few people can identify the use of this metal object.

Do you have any idea what this glass item is used for?

People keep guessing, but no one gets it right. Do you know what this is?

Wow, $225k+ in overtime. NOT High-Tech, these are the real people that bust their butts EVERY day, know their stuff and keep our world moving. fastcompany.com/91573358/centr…

@saniyafatma1278 YOU HIT THE LOTTERY on your walk today. Take all your winnings home and enjoy the many years of enjoyment that it provides.

We just went for a walk and found this in the woods. What do we do??

@Ted21830738 @FrankBr05713205 Sounds like "Pit Stop" from back in the '70s. DIY service bays by the hour and parts store. If you bring in your own parts, you had to pay a premium on the part value. Went there a few times when I needed a lift.

@FrankBr05713205 I worked in a small gas station in 1966. The owner left soon after to start a self-repair station. He provided the bay, lift, and tools. You did the work. Didn't work out too well, I guess. People complained about paying a mechanic, but didn't want to do the work themselves!

I am an old mechanic and for semi retirement I think I will open a new quick lube shop. And to keep prices low I am going to follow the business model of many restaurants and chain stores today. First you will need to pull up to a self self kiosk and talk to an AI which will take your service request order. Then grab the handy bar and QR code scanner and scan the code on the side of your drivers door so the AI knows what model and year car you have. Then scan your drivers license so the AI knows who you are. Just like some restaurants there are no prices on the menu board, as we use something called dynamic pricing which allows us to change prices at moments notice due to possible price increases. But for the latest oil change price you can use your cell phone and scan the QR code on the menu board. This will display the latest pricing along with liability disclaimers. Please note the final charge will include a 25% tip for our workers for we only pay them minimum wage to keep our prices low for you The AI will then assign a door number for you to drive you car into when prompted. After pulling your car into the service bay, a worker in the pit will drain your oil for you. When the light in front of you turns green you can then exit your car and fill your engine with the oil your ordered at the kiosk. If you also ordered a new oil filter, a filter wrench and disposable gloves will be at your work area to use. Don't forget to reset your oil maintenance reminder. If your unsure how, there is a handy I Pad available for you to "Google it" Start your car and follow the arrows to the pay station where you can use your credit card or Bit coin to pay your bill. The garage door will open when transaction is successfully completed. Thank you for visiting "Do it yourself Oil change" Be sure to follow the 15 texts we will now send you everyday informing you of our latest specials. Now aren't you glad this is fictional made up shop? Yet we are being expected to simply accept this sort of thing in many businesses today.

@FrankBr05713205 Draining the oil is like the simplest part of the whole process. But I'd pay like $1.50 for that service (the recycled oil you get is worth more than that).

@emankhana6 Yep, EXACT same model, still functions perfectly! Deployed to the garage. Still have to bump the hour up or down twice a year.

A relic from the 20th Century that I’m sure everyone of you owned and needed!!

@FrankBr05713205 Sure have, w/ a feeler gauge - just multiply it by 2 on a '62 Delco-Remy dual point distributor with tach drive.

Who has had the pleasure of replacing points and condenser in a distributor? And did you use a feelers gauge or matchbook cover to set the point gap?

@Jennifer55gt Just another triple * posting pictures of old crap that she(?)/anyone/everyone with any real life knows what it is...

Found in grandfather's tools. Heavy metal object with rope wrapped around. What is this?

@EmilySm43 Pretty much everything/anything you don't want your vertically challenged wife to find.

Do you have this cabinet 🤔

@us_connie Friends only if you can name a few that had two in the same enclosure.

What is this? What is its purpose? Do you know? 🤔

@AntiLeftMemes My maternal uncle, WWI vet. He got a dose of German Mustard gas in the Great War, but like most survived that. That was a conversation I'll never forget.

Were you fortunate enough to meet someone born in the 1800s ?

@viralvortex51 You're wrapping your Teflon tape ass-backwards.
