I got beaten by the flu on my day off, figures you don’t sleep for long enough and eventually shit like that will come for you, ended up having to take a day off work too, which sucked.

Now for the day’s weak rant, on some reddit shithole people were praising some bourgeois redditist scumlord for being able to drive home on a Canadian freeway since some shit on his Tesla gave out so he had no heat nor front windshield defroster, he comments he wouldn’t have been able to go home without AI and everyone was liek ‘so brabe’, he had to do that one day, I do that near every fucking day in winter, no AI, its called use a sharp Dollar Tree squeegee every so often to scrape the ice from your inner car window and a rag covered with deicer. Also, dress like an Antarctic explorer while your coworkers giggle that you’re from California, too soft to be in the midwest. If it wasn’t here I told the Korean war vet that’s a regular shopper at work story I’mma tell it again, deal, supposedly he was a tank driver and they abandoned the tanks because heat stopped working and he loved to go on and regale everyone how cold it was. I was reminded of the Lake Tianjin film.

The heatercore in my usual antique for the mid 90s has been clogged for years and its a pain and a half access hoses out and its already a cobbled up precarity since some other mechanic de jour probably broke something, so not happening, and this winter no front windshield defroster for me as well (good thing I got that clank truck with half of everything wrong with it right?) Damn truck’s is partially clogged, and I haven’t had a chance to look at it, I’m either sick or working like a donkey, so its much of the same shit but at least when I get home like 40min later the heat might kick on, if I get blessed by the right Frost-based deity, vs in my precious classic I’ve driven 3-4hrs like that, it be like 6F outside and body-heated car inside. Its fun closing and my angry coworkers waiting on me (we all gotta drive away safely), they don’t seem to comprehend the idea of no heat, ‘tee hee tamagotchi, just wait for your car to heat up’, listen buddy, I don’t want to wait until Spring. Mechanics here would charge what I make in a month to maybe fix shit, so nah.

Shit always makes me think of the Martian, though its a poverty-induced survival deal. Just lil babies need to get on my level, wouldn’t damn survive.
