This guy sounds terrible. Hope you get that promotion or other job, whatever it was that you mentioned if it gets you out from under him.

Nobody has sent that shit up to HR? If I got dinged for not meeting an EOY goal that was only given to me three to six months prior I’d be raising hell with my HR rep.

I'd like to make a sticky post in the factory. I've curated a multi-subreddit for you animals. Anyone know how to make that happen?

Currently on Chrome on my windows laptop.

I have Reddit on my phone, but it's currently downstairs getting charged. I'll try it in the morning. :like:

See, I only ever browse 2 forums, this one and I sometimes lurk on the Dead Zone to learn shit about my Mk7.5. That's all. So it's not really worth it for me.

This is what I do as well. Thankfully my phone stays logged in. I don't remember my forum password. My phone logged out of Facebook for some reason and I can't remember my password for it so I just don't log in on my phone anymore :lolol:

Originality just means you're keeping it for the next owner to appreciate.

However, if you want to be sneaky, I do have some LT1 rods and flattop pistons laying around should you ever want to replace those dished pieces and gain some compression under the factory heads. It obviously requires pulling the engine, but these would be free.
Interesting thought, though I'm really not sure it's worth the effort. Would probably also change the heads at a minimum, but using the "numbers matching" (if that's a thing on an 80) stock block could be :neat:
Either way, they would be free. I would just need a shipping address should you decide to take them.

I’m about ready to give up the facebooks. I was holding onto it for my mom since she liked to post pictures on it, and now I’m only on it for a few vinyl collecting/buy/sell/trade groups that I’m in. But man FB has gotten aggressive with their notifications and it’s annoying as fuck. “X person you never interact with just posted for the first time in a while, check it out!” No. Finally remembered to turn off push notifications for the app on my phone, but that sucks cause I don’t get notifications from my groups. FB won’t let me turn all their bullshit notifications off and it’s constantly trying to get people to open the app when any notifications are allowed.

Yeah I don’t have the app or messenger. The terms of service for messenger said you’d give Facebook access to your text messages or something. NOPE.

Agreed on their notifications. I was flooded with them yesterday after not logging in for like 3 days. And it’s almost all bullshit. I’ve got 796 unread emails in my work inbox. Last thing I’m going to do is read each notification from Facebook.

I haven't been on FB since 2016. :aintcare: don't miss it one bit. Only annoying thing is FBM replaced CL, so I can't really buy local things anymore. FBM is a dumpster fire, so perhaps it's for the best.

Never been on FB. I don't even know what it looks like. Zero interest in it.
