Letting it down for a minute in controlled (enough) environments is an interesting experience atimes.

Well, part of discipline is honing instinct to a usable tool.

i can typically tell what kinda drunk someone is just by looking at them

my ex lost the ability to speak english when she got plastered

my german improves when i drink

Ah, I become *even more* verbose to a point.

says the germans

(Which also leads to fun things like interviewing a stripper in an Arizonian strip club.. I think I have the notes somewhere, still.)

don't think i change much; i like to work the room with or without

hehe

fun times

Later on my Marines were like, "What the hell, you know she was just trying to pump you for money." My response was, "So..*shrugs* I was curious." I don't think I threw her any dosh for that, but truth is I don't remember.

lol; oh i have seen that before

What I *do* remember was her (rather cliché) story - basically kids/school and all that.

some of the defense contractors.... i think this one guy put one of the girls through college this one install we did; took 3 months

I have a dilemma

Or might not like it honestly, I know a lot of high-functioning spergs/autists don't like smoking weed or drinking because it makes them feel like they have no control over themselves

Yeah, I'd believe it, MA.

Elon is almost definitely high functioning autistic

meh

When I was younger that's where I was on drinking.

elon isn't much of an engineer; he's a sale guy

I have an answer

his mannerisms remind me of my autistic cousin <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

lol; i can see that

But as I've grown older.. well, figure - as I said - sometimes it's better to let go of the control

maybe it's just assumption

i mean the autism

hahahahaha

I have never really been like that tbh

Fixing the plumbing that rusted through
>> I can cut the pipe to length and let the plastic bathe in water as it should (but I will create the open metal where rust can start at the cut)
or
>> let the pipe be as long as it is and forego the plastic bit, letting the ni-chromed copper bathe in standing water (which will make it rust eventually

letting go of control is the only way you learn to ride without training wheels

Only time I felt out of control on substances was when I made the mistake of taking LSD and RCs simultaneously

if you don't need control, you can use that energy elsewhere

Or I can seal the cut with epoxy

Control is an illusion.

Can you not replace it with proper PVC? Are you working on copper piping?

Do I look like a plumber to you

i have this thing i do where i try to instinctly find and answer THEN work backwards and try to figure out why that particular answer popped into my head

@TheBadfish It's that but under the sink that is shiny

I mean tbh if you're working on copper or galvanized steel you're just buying time until it fucks up again
