wtf is a foamer? I don't know a lot about trains, I only worked on one once. But I know they are beholding to schedulers that are akin to area Air Traffic Controllers. Those guys are responsible for making sure the track ahead of you is clear, and if it's not (or not going to be) they'll hold you at a less congested spot. There's also the possibility that there is a depot of some sort that you just can't see since the train was a mile long.

A person that stands by the side of a track and foams at the mouth when a train comes by in awe. Generally it's a derogatory term for railroad enthusiasts generally not preferred in the industry. Rail Fan is a more proper, less demeaning way to describe this group.

People shucking corn on the cob at the grocery store and leaving their unwanted corn. Hey fuckers, the corn costs like 50 cents each, just pickup some and throw it in the bag. You can trash it later if you don't want it instead of leaving unwrapped corn touched by dirty hands.

And you don't even have to unwrap them. Just squeeze.

But why? What in the actual fuck?

Do these people peel their oranges in the store too? What would possibly be the point?

Do we have any foamers on this board who can explain why trains randomly stop on tracks and block intersections til the conductor is done jerking off to all the anguish hes creating?

Going to work. get stopped for close to 10 minutes because a train that was crossing a major road decided to stop. No junctions or unloading points for it to be going into to detaching anything at.

Going home from work again another train that I followed for 5-6 miles. It was cruising along at 30-40mph then suddenly stopped right before an intersection. The intersection's signal had triggered as if the train was going to cross, but train stops instead and the crossing signal turns off. It then just sits there for who knows how long, it was still stopped as I made my turn. This train was also so long it was blocking an intersection almost a mile down the road.

Until I finally started working from home full time, I would often have to wait for horse crossing on my way home. The track is on one side of the street and the stables are on the other. If a rider is within a few hundred feet of the road and even so much as glances that way, they shut down traffic immediately. I've had to sit there for 5-10 minutes on occasion due to a line of horses going from the stables to the track, all spaced out to to take forever for the entire group to cross. You'd think that in the 150+ years of the track's existence, they'd have a better system of getting these expensive horses to the stables and back other than having them walk across a 4 lane street.

Also, birds gorged themselves on mulberries the other day and shit all over my driver's side door handle. The rest of the car was untouched, which somehow made it even more rustling.

Someone was trying to send you a message. Sounds like you didn't get it, I'll try again.

one year birds started hanging out on our car mirrors, (also the neighbor's suv mirror). saw somewhere putting pinwheels

near by would scare them off. rolled them up in the windows and they left. after a week or so, put them on the fence next to the car and they have not come back.

When someone wants your attention so you begin the stopping process of the thing you were doing but that's not good enough for them and they make the simple procedure an unpleasant ordeal. Then when you finish and give them your attention, they aren't setup or ready at all . So then you wait on them an amount of time equal to or greater than the time they just spent making miserable for you.

airfryers are awesome enough to have multiples. For example when you have company over

My rustle is food trucks. MY first impressions were that they were awesome, expensive, but over the top. That's how it was my first many times and that's the standard set in my brain. But the trucks that come to my work are garbage tier, literal frozen items from grocery store prepared in mundane ways. I don't even get excited at Food Trucks anymore.

Also fuck my governor, second rustle. He was elected in last November on some bible crusade so he has rolled back recreational marijuana and gated porn. IF go to a site have to wade through a banner talking about the governor initiative. I'm not registering with the government so I can buy weed or watch porn. f all of that. And F every single mfpos that voted for him.

Washington and Oregon are working on passing legislation to significantly "fast track" housing projects, but only for "high density" housing. They're constantly, relentlessly pushing to make single family homes with a smidge of property a thing of the past.

What, you wanted an indoor smoker?

joz123 · Jul 25, 2023

Ordered a dishwasher over a month ago from Lowes. Was supposed to be picked up yesterday by company that will deliver/install it, has been delayed since then and no word from Lowes or the delivery company. Just shows "preparing order" still.

someday I want a grill or smoker. This little guy I think is a poor imitation. reviews say it just pours on excessive smoke early and hard for an hour then nothing after that. So if not good at those I might as well do an indoors George Forman type grill

High density is just about all they build in Idaho.
