  • Torque Pro. Extra gauges for your car, like oil temp, timing, fuel trim, air-to-fuel ratio, tire pressures, MPG, and so much more. Also you can use it to see if you’ll pass emissions before you even go in for testing. (Requires OBD-II Bluetooth dongle.)

    Also if you’re willing to answer a couple of surveys a month, you can get paid apps for free forever using the Google Opinion Rewards app.

    The original was great.

    I developed an unreasonable hatrid for the GameCube version, however, when my younger brother would wake me up every morning with the sound of “beep, beep, beep, BEEP, BEEP!
    WOO HOO! beep, beep, beep, BEEP, Beep! WOO HOO!
    beep, beep, beep, BEEP, Beep! WOO HOO!

    It was a solid sequel but god were the sound effects annoyingly repetitive, especially at 7am on a Saturday.





  • The Switch was my last console purchase; I’m never buying another console from anyone ever again. I haven’t touched it in years cause every time I new game comes out that I want to play, I just pirate it instead. Why bother playing new releases on an underpowered, outdated handheld that struggles to render in 1080p, when I can play them in 4K on my PC at 60-120 FPS instead? Seriously, fuck Nintendo. Between their crappy hardware and crusade against gamers, I have zero reason to give them another cent of my hard-earned cash.

    Don’t know the exact term but I work at a “last mile” warehouse, basically the place where already packaged items go to be sorted and put onto trucks for delivery. It’s a smaller warehouse but it is a warehouse. All I do is sort packages.

    And yeah I’m confused too. I avoided getting a job there for years because of all the horror stories. But my experience has been quite the opposite. Even the notorious “suicide booths” aren’t what the news makes them out to be. They’re literally just a phone booth.

    IDK maybe my warehouse is just different. I have no idea.

    One of the only positive things about working at Amazon is they they’re actually competent enough to hire enough employees to cover unexpected life events. No joke, they hand out over an hour of personal time every single day, enough to take an entire day off after barely working a couple of weeks.

    I’ve been sleeping in nearly every single shift for a year straight, coming in late constantly, and management literally couldn’t give a single fuck. They even let you come back from breaks late and no one says a damn thing. I once stretched out a 15 minute break to 45 minutes, and nothing came of it. So long as your work gets done on time it’s no problem. They even fired the one manager who would actually do things by the book and get after employees. I couldn’t believe it when it happened; it’s almost too unbelievable to be true.

    The best part is that you don’t even have to call in; taking time off is done with an app and it always gets approved instantly. If the pay wasn’t shit (only $19.50hr), I’d never want to leave.
