      Yep you definitely can but I didn’t bother installing a VPN just to use the service while in Berlin, where we didn’t have time to watch, and you can’t run one on United WiFi anyway.

      Bonus fuck you to whoever keeps shitting themselves on this flight. It smells like a nursing home in here 🤢

      My wife thought it was a diaper from a nearby baby but no infant is capable of such devastation. This is someone who had too much beer and sauerkraut and/or a ruptured colostomy bag.

      sigh I guess I’ll try to fall asleep. My Iron Heart bandana is doing the best it can as a mask. Wish I had an N95.

      Think it, be it.

          My car has a cracked windshield from a stone chip. So I took my wife’s car. End result:

            @Tago-Mago I’m no expert but that doesn’t look quite right. More seriously, hope you’re ok and everything gets fixed quickly and without too much damage to your IH budget.

              @ARNC thanks, all good. May be time to retire the car. Got it through MOT last year, but had a broken coil spring since and now this. I’m in the same boat as you with regard to my mechanical knowledge but I’m pretty sure that those two loose ends belong together 😄

                @Tago-Mago I have cars way older that look way better underneath. I'd say that one needs much more than just a new exhaust.

                  @tody I agree. I’m kinda surprised it passed the TÜV, too be honest.

                    @Tago-Mago You definitely want some work done as where the control arm mounts is rusted through and is going to cause you major issues if it breaks when you're driving...

                      Yeah, that shot there is what you call “fucked.” Assuming it’s a slightly older car it’s probably totaled. Time for a Porsche.

                        @Matt Is that the “adjuster” terminology used in the industry?

                            Two years ago I fell asleep while driving on the highway. It was a long journey. The bump stop saved the day. Otherwise I would have gone into the oncoming road. And maybe I haven’t talked to you anymore)

                                @Tago-Mago how are the winters where you live? A lot of snow and ice on the road? That looks like the result of the salt solution they use here in Norway to keep the roads clear of ice.

                                It’s a very devisive issue here as it does huge damage to private properly (the cars), while there is a question mark around its effectiveness with regards to increasing road safety.

                                    After 30 meters the barrier ended and there was an open oncoming lane with heavy traffic. It was the Kazan - Nizhny Novgorod highway. I definitely wouldn't collect the bones. Guys, don't sleep at the wheel!)

                                      @neph93 same here in terms of salt. They basically cover the roads at the first sign of frost/ice/snow. But they use actual salt, no solution

                                      With the amount of corrosion I am amazed the car passed its MOT last October! This was also another reminder that having a company car is a huge privilege for a number of reasons, even though our dumb finance minister vehemently disagrees. I call someone, they fix my car, provide me with a replacement for the duration and my employer pays.

                                        Does anyone else hate things being described as “fire” or using the 🔥🔥🔥to describe something ??
                                        I find it to be fucking annoying.

                                        In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
