  • If you read the instructions, that is for body hair and not your lady junk and starfish. You are also suppose to test the hair melting cream out on a small spot to make sure you don’t have an abnormal reaction. There is a nair for sensitive areas. You will have to wait it out.

    The burning will stop, but things may get pretty gnarly looking and you will want to apply a moisturizing lotion to help with dry skin or scabs. You may want to seek medical care if it is like road rash bad or doesn’t calm the fuck down.


  • Kill a half hour working out and/or go for a jog. You don’t even need weight, just do bodyweight.

    Take up hiking, it is nearly free, you get sun and exercise. You can even take a trash bag with you and clean up litter.

    Find someone to stalk and murder.

    Fishing is a great and cheap waste of time and you get sun.

    Find an unsolved mystery in your area and work on solving it.

    Start collecting pinecones, cool rocks, or used syringes.

    Birdwatching can obliterate free-time and you might meet some widowed GILF to be your sugar momma.

    Go places and give them Google or yelp reviews, be derrainged in your writing style like Hunter S Thompson with a head injury.

    Take up meditation and have a false sense of superiority because you practice socially acceptable rotting with a calming mentally healthy spiritual guise.

    Yoga is a thing, I’m sure you can make yoga pants look great.

    Taxidermy roadkill armies don’t assemble themselves, you can even find a tabletop game event to unlease your army upon and meet new people. Worst case you learn about the criminal justice system and that will kill even more time.

    Befriend a murder of crows and receive their gifts.










  • Either option, ad blocker or NAS, has far better tutorials in YouTube or various sites that can explain everything better than I can.

    I do have some concerns about viability due to the screen issue. You may find that you get so far as initial setup after first boot and find yourself unable to progress. You would have output, but trying to have WiFi setup to telnet in could be a bit of a bother and you may have to use a wired keyboard via an adapter to get anywhere.




  • Yeah, I found myself wanting a better backup camera when I put in a head unit with a 12.3" display and was also disappointed with reality.

    Best solution I did find was to use the digital rearview mirror off a dodge or Chevy with their cameras and go through the ballache of retrofitting it into my car, but that would have cost like $1,500 IIRC.


  • Probably not. There are only a few resolutions that car cameras have, except on expensive cars or cars with expensive head unit replacements; this comes down to the standard that the video signals are encoded.

    To make things worse is that only a few companies make the optic sensors for them so the quality is fairly similar, just like dash cams.

    So you can find a high quality camera and connect it to a head unit that accepts the higher resolution standard, you can upgrade the head unit and have a better quality screen to see the image, or you can replace the camera with basically the same camera.

    Unless you really want to get into the weeds on understanding all the inside and outs and are prepared to spend a lot, you might as well just buy an OEM replacement for the camera you have and wait for the higher-end cameras and screens to come down in price until they are included in the car you buy.




  • Some people are going to have a creepy doll that they can’t get rid of and I am going to have a lot less time on my hands as I see to that.

    I’ll start a car dealership selling exotic cars for the price of a very used Honda, we do accept any trade-in 1:1.

    My street magic will be legendary.

    How many watermelons can you fit in the toilet stall of public restroom? You will find out on the news.

    I’m definitely never paying for printer ink again.

    Why is there an exact copy of the great pyramid in the middle of New Mexico?

    Sometimes I would get bored and just fill a valley with flowers, to the ridge.

    Don’t ever allow me unsupervised access to the trunk of your car, unless you really like Beanie Babies or Pogs.

    You want that hot new item that is impossible to find? I can get you all the spaghetti or netti pots you want instead.

    Don’t give me item duplication or manifestation, there will be chaos and so many rubber ducks in random places.


  • While I was working downtown one summer, I stopped off in a CVS in the center of the main part of the city to buy some water.

    On my way into the store I walked past a homeless black man. He had on a thigh-length coat with a hoodie under it, jeans, and boots that were half laced. The cornea of one eye was milky, presumably damaged at some point and probably blind or nearly so.

    I grabbed my water and went to the back of the line, a few feet from that homeless guy. He got a look at me and said with a giant smile “Hi Death_Equity!” like greeting an old friend. I said “Hey man.” hiding how surprised I was and he walked away. I was too caught off guard to find out who he was, I was reeling that he knew my name. I have no idea who he was, but he somehow knew my name. I didn’t have a name tag on, nobody else was in the store with me that could have said my name, I didn’t have a credit card out that he could have read. He either was a voodoo priest who gave his eye for sight beyond sight, or he is someone who knew me and I did not know or recognize him.

    When I got back to the truck, I told my coworker about it and was fairly freaked out about this random half-blind homeless guy that knew me by name.

    I have spent hours since trying to figure out who that man was to me. I feel horrible knowing that he must have been someone I knew and have forgotten about him as society has. Maybe I went to school with him as a kid? Maybe I met him through work before he was homeless? I wish I knew, but he surprised the fuck out of me.
