    Decimate means to reduce by one tenth. If it's worse than that use annihilate or obliterate or something.

    Can I use decimate if something is reduced by 90%, leaving only 10%?

    But 1 out of 5 is 20%. You've decimated your own argument.

    last week my check engine light came on, and i spent $500 getting it fixed

    this morning my check engine light came back on

    good news, you didn't spend $500 getting it fixed

    best case scenario it's the same problem and I can go yell at the mechanic to actually fix the fuckin' thing

    worst case scenario it's a completely unrelated problem and the timing is coincidental

    You should just do what my dad did. Cover the Check Engine light with black tape.

    this actually happened

    My sister has a car with tire pressure sensors.
    The front and back tires require a different pressure.
    She lost whatever bit of paper told her which required which pressure (for some baffling reason it's not in the manual).
    So she pressurizes them all to be somewhere in between those two values, and just ignores the constant "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" flashing light.

    ... At least she has the comfort of knowing they're all slightly wrong?

    isn't it always printed on both the passenger and driver door frames?

    my petty complaint is car manufacturers not standardizing the location of important operational parameters

    I hate it when you buy fruit at the store, and it looks ok, but when you get home you discover it's covered with mold.

    That has to be a joke, because if they were legit on misleading people they would not have had the starting and ending numbers on there, because I gotta honest, I probably would have stopped looking if they didn’t have those two numbers there.

    I probably look like a crazy person when I buy strawberries because I will visually inspect the carton from all angles and then give it a good sniff (the mold that grows on strawberries has a distinct ‘earthy’ smell than can be detected even when it’s not obvious just from a visual inspection)

    And even then I pretty much eat them all within a day.

    I'm super careful when picking out fruit from our store, even relatively safe dumb things like apples.

    'cause when I miss, we often get lots of fruit flies really fast unless it's winter time.

    Another frustration! I am no good with words. I'm insanely jealous of Poorochondriac and others here who can do words better than me.

    What's a better word to use in my last post than, "poofing"???

    I miss New York pizza and bagels and egg sandwiches and them being available pretty much anywhere. Living in Virginia now, I have found some places that have decent pizza, but they're hard to come by. Bagels and egg sandwiches probably never will be the same.

    I wish there were an actually functional, daily pill organizer, split between morning and night which didn't look like absolute dogshit.

    Even the ones which are supposed to be "fashionable" are either one compartment per day, or just like one or two pills, or are even just one days worth

    Ticks me off how the pope is claiming that people choosing to have pets over children is morally wrong and selfish when the Catholic church in general has zero room to talk about morals regarding children.

    I own a small building full of all my favorite stuff, but the only way to continue owning the building and the stuff is to spend half of my waking life in other buildings doing things I'd rather not do for people I'd rather not interact with.
