I've never understood not being able to spell when drunk. Even when I'm **** faced to the point I don't remember anything, I can still look back at my drunk posts and they are grammatically correct, even punctuated correctly.

Same here..
I am debating whether or not I should get a compressor, and what size to get if I decide to go that route..
"Kickless" air ratchets are great.
IR guns pack the best punch, but could get pricey.
Ebay is a great source for impact guns, die grinders, air saws, etc. of all sorts.

Or perhaps a DIY Scanning Electron Microscope?

It's still pretty cool. Do you have a fusion reactor at your house?

Went to a new antique place today and found the exact type of place I've been looking for. Out in the middle of nowhere and run by guys that probably don't even know what a computer is.
In the basement I found a stack of boxes filled with old 35mm slides. Each box had a sticker for $3 so I took all 6. I bought a bunch of other stuff too and in the end the guy only wanted $30 for everything, so I'd say each box ended up costing about $1 a piece.
Got them home and found each disc holds 100 slides, 5 full 1 half full. I looked through a some random ones here and there they're ******* awesome! Japan, Australia, Africa, Egypt, etc etc. All from the 1960's. Such a lucky find. I figured most of them would be "americana" and worthless. These babies are gettin blown up print style.
There was a huge Swiss army knife moving display that I was gonna get, but one of the blades was broken off so I passed. I might go back for a old 1890's washing machine tomorrow though.

Who loves shitty customer service? Anyone? God, I love it when business owners think it's OK to treat customers like ****.
So I go to this "meet" on Sunday. It's being held at a pizza joint. The owner is into cars and whatnot. Typical of the area and the "scene", it was a ton of hipsters and whatnot. So anyway, my GF and I go in to get some food because we're kinda hungry. There was a piece of paper taped to the counter with a few items on it and hand-written prices. I figured it was a list of dicounted items for the meet. So I look up at the regular menu and make a selection. Chicken fingers and fries. I had pizza the night before anyway. So the guy look at me and says "hold on" and walks to the back....a few moments later he rings it up and knocks off $2.50. Cool. I took that $2.50 and tossed some more money on top and gave it back as a tip. I wasn't expecting any discount, but that was cool. By the way, the hand-written menu was pizza slices, wings and drinks.
40 minutes go by.
The people that were in front and behind me in line were done eating and leaving to go back outside. So I get up to refill my drink and inquire about my order. I politely ask the guy at the register "Hey man, I was just wondering if you might know the ETA on my order...." and right then some guy comes storming up from the kitchen to me and nearly yelling says, "Who's asking about if their food is ready? You? Listen, I'm doing all of this as a favor for everyone, this is my day off and I opened this place up for the meet! The chicken isn't even on the menu and I decided to make it for you anyway and even give you a discount! You're just going to have to go sit down and WAIT!". I didn't even get a chance to explain to the douchebag that I was only asking because it had been over 40 minutes, it was very loud in there and I was wondering if I had missed/not heard my name get called (yeah, they were just yelling names for the orders when they were ready). I wasn't up there to demand my food or be an *******....but after 40 ******* minutes I think I have the right to ask for an update on my order. ****, would it be better if I ignored my name when called and then gone and bitched that I never got my food only to find out they had called my name and they my food was now cold because it was left sitting out? So I went and sat down....for about 15 minutes and then we just walked out. I honestly didn't trust the guy after he decided to berate me for no reason. I wouldn't be surprised if he spit in the food. By the time we walked out, it had died down and there were about half the people in there. I figured the guy was probably going to be an extra ******* and take even longer to make my order just to spite me for asking.
By the way, that guy...was the owner as well.
I'll be disputing the charges with my bank. They already said they'll reverse the transaction once it posts. I didn't really care to go find the ******* and tell him not to bother with the order and give me a refund because God knows what he would have done...I didn't trust him nor did I want to deal with him anymore. I'm tempted to leave a 1-star review on Yelp!/UrbanSpoon/Menuism.
Was I wrong?
