Biting my nails and the skin around my nails. Currently trying to quit again. On day 6.

Get out of here with your reason. That's not what the internet is for. Now, would you like a torch or pitchfork?

Wait... Was? I'm crushed.

Unless you're a farmer/rancher. Then it's a way of life.

My father did the same with a timeshare in Mexico. Every time he called to book a room they were full, even booking 8 months out. So he just stopped paying for it. They got mad and called him several times over the years.

Finally he said 'Fine, I want a room in 3 months time for 2 weeks. I'll even be pay all the owed fees.' "sorry we're full then" 'Ok, well then I'm never paying you a dime, stop calling me.' that was that.

As far as I know his credit was never hurt, but he's also got amazing credit so maybe it was enough to offset that hit.

Right?!? When I give directions I do both. Eg. turn left(north) on the 887. Far too many people have gotten lost trying to find my place. It's 3 turns at well labelled intersections.

The greatness/size ratio is off the charts!

Recently bought a new diesel silverado 3500 for my ranch. It's enormous, I'm glad I didn't get the dually option as it's hard enough to drive in the city. Most of its job however is pulling trailers around.

That said, on highway if I drive the speed limit and take it easy I can get 9L/100km. It's unreal that such a huge truck will get almost the same economy as our KIA SUV.

I find the cold water refreshing. That said, I've never tried a heated one.

Where did it come from? Where did it go?

Same here. Just seemed like the right choice.

I've been using the official app and reporting and blocking all the ads. This post triggered my block response.

I'd end up using it to second guess all my decisions I've ever made.

I didn't. However, I read Lemmy until I run out of interesting posts, then switch to reddit until the ads make me angry. Then I do something productive.

In all seriousness, it's not a bad idea. I think I will try it.

But what if I'm a masochist?

Thanks for the support. Some people think the world is uniform and don't understand anything outside of their world view.

I originally started paying for prime for the free shipping. Prime video is a perk as far as I'm concerned. I haven't re-evaluated it in a long time though to see if it's worth it. I do order a ton of stuff on amazon since I live 160km from the nearest city.

It's tough for sure. I quit once for a year and a half, but some stressful times got me back into biting. You can quit too!

As someone who doesn't know, what's wrong with imgur?

Edit: Thanks for the info guys.

I run 1000 cows on a 60,000 acre ranch in southern Alberta. It's too rough to run a semi truck and trailer around on but I can haul a tri-axle Wilson gooseneck stock trailer with 20,000 lbs of cattle across it when I need to. There's no roads through the ranch other than dirt trails so it takes a long time to travel through it and the fewer trips I have to make the better. Generally I'm moving cattle on horseback but occasionally I have to move old/sick/injured cows from a to b. Simply put, your European farms are miniscule and you don't need the same capabilities that we do. The world is not uniform.

That's how I've done it in the past. I keep nail clippers in my pocket all day. Thanks for the tip though.
