The best magic has a little bit of jank in it, and the worst jank is sometimes a little bit magical.
if it's jank, and it works, it ain't jank.
If it's jank and it works, it's jank and you're lucky

They do deposit returns where I live. So you get them cents back for every can. There are people that make a couple of hundred bucks a month picking cans out of the ditches. There's like what? $50 in this picture? Either way he could have those gone in an hour for free if he knows a homeless person.
I used to collect cans over the summer with the high school soccer teams to raise money. There's more than fitty there

I bet that smelled fantastic.
The man smoked 3-4 packs of cigarettes a day, so that's all you could smell. Thankfully we didn't have to sleep there. My parents would have us stay at the motel/grocery/gas station/bar/restaurant/video store/boat rental/fish license place in town.

I used to be a programmer and now I fix cars professionally, I feel like half of my professional life has been gazing upon some ancient work of dark magic and cussing loudly because I know I'm about to have to go in.
The line between jank and wizardry is sometimes blurry. The best magic has a little bit of jank in it, and the worst jank is sometimes a little bit magical.
I just gave up and used copper RTV on the uneven collector pipes on a flat 4 engine. There was no way to properly align the left and right headers to the collector besides just fucking cranking on the bolts as a clamp held them in alignment.
I felt shame for that one, and it’s off to the inspection station Monday now that it doesn’t leak. But you can see the Rtv sticking out. I give it a summer before it fails again. At best.

I just empty them, put them in a crate, then every monday empty the kitchen crate into my garage sack. When they're full i take 'em up to CDS
No stink, bugs, etc.?

“Left a couple of cases of empty alcohol bottles on the floor for a month….”
“Then I got roaches from it! That’s how I knew my neighbors had cleanliness issues.”
…….?

i got rid of my coffee machine and switched to instant - explaining why would probably make you sick.
I have a French press so I don’t have to worry about brewing roach coffee.
that's exactly what i use now when i'm not just lazy and drinking instant

It can sometimes grow to quite a large fund for people.
Damian Gordon saved $46,000. He described it as a hobby for him. What a legend!

Omg that’s so gross.

It did, it just only got noticed in people who are intellectually disabled. That's the only kid I knew with autism growing up in the 80s who got diagnosed.
The son of a family friend obviously has Asperger's, he's a few years older than me, and his parents did have him tested back then and were told nothing was wrong, but I don't think they had that knowledge back then. He will ask me for a Coke Zero every ten minutes like clockwork when he comes over, polish it off and ask for another.

Lost my job around 2017 and it was real difficult to get a new one in the tech sector without a college degree. I lucked in to the one originally through professional connections. No such luck the next time after I got downsized.
So I ended up working at my local auto parts store to make ends meet in the meantime, and figured out that I actually really like fixing cars. It exercises the same sort of problem solving capacity but the problems you solve are usually a little less arcane. Made a few new connections including a guy who worked at an actual garage, got offered a position at that garage if I wanted it, and the rest is history.
I still dabble in programming as a hobby, but I enjoy working with my hands and the feeling of fixing a physical object is more fulfilling to me than fixing software. So here I stay (for now).
Carpenter coder here. I like saving my code powers for my own beloved projects.

Gazing upon skill beyond your comprehension: How the fuck does this work?
Gazing at unholy fuckery: How the fuck does this WORK?
As someone guilty od doing unholy fuckery from time to time, I often look at my own work like that

That's his retirement fund.

When i was in 4th grade 31 years ago my teacher knew something was up and advised my mom to get me tested. The "test" was absolute garbage and i "passed" i was so happy. In hindsight i just wished that i got an ADHD diagnosis early

If your country had the German Pfand system where you pay 25 cent more per can and get it back if you return it, this would be expensive....
They would flush down the cans to own the libs.
