  • I was forced to upgrade since i was still rocking a 3g phone and my area switched to 5g. The phone company gave me a free Pixel6 since it wasnt my choice to upgrade. Maybe if you hold out long enough you’ll just get a free upgrade. Though it was a double edge sword, since they tried to up my monthly bill since i was “upgraded” to “premium data”. I had to fight that and still ended up paying a few bucks more than previously, but better than what they tried to charge me.







  • I know this thread is a bit old, but I used to be an irrigation tech at a 27 hole golf course. Just wanted to throw some numbers out there for anyone interested. This was in a hot climate for reference. During the wet season, we would pump out anywhere from 200,000 gallons to 600,000 of water per night. During the summer or droughts, we would pump 750,000-1,500,000 gallons of water PER NIGHT. During the day, especially during droughts, I had to go around spot watering everything all day. I could easily pump 150,000 gallons during the day on top of what we pumped at night. During a hot week with no rain, our average was around 10.5 million gallons of water. Our course used “reclaimed water” but the majority of the water was supplemented by the city supply. We only got the reclaim license because of some favors and shady deals to lower our taxes.













  • My parents worked together at a Bar/restaurant in the 80’s. from the ages of 3-10ish i was basically raised at the bar of this restaurant. Id snack on cocktail peanuts and maraschino cherries all day and the bartender would make me virgin cocktails whenever i asked. The place was always full of people smoking cigarettes and cigars up front and smoking weed/ doing other stuff in the back. Looking back, im like wtf were my parents doing??, but that was just normal back then. If I wasn’t with mom and dad, id be with grandma and she smoked like a chimney and would drag me to bingo or some other gathering where all her friends were smoking too. Wild times man.
