Yeah... fingers crossed, I guess.

More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says
I mean... yes, lol.
It wouldn't be the entire engine, just the starter.
But even that would probably not be a good idea.
I just figure someone must have made some kind of custom build that outwardly resembles a pull start, just as a novelty thing, but in actuality just... sends the power on signal to ... whatever that particular pin board on the mobo is called.
One of my ex gfs ... long after we broke up... actually literally did compete in, and successfully completed a long distance, multi day/week long endurance ride across basically all of Mongolia.
Like... literal world class equestrian skills.
The competition did not also include archery, but this was unneccesary: she was sufficiently skilled at putting an arrow through my heart when she dumped me almost two decades ago now.
=(
EDIT: Wow, I forgot, it actually gets more ironic:
While she did not practice archery with a compound bow...
She did actually practice Kyudo, traditional Japanese archery, at least back when we dated.
Basically a longbow, I don't think you could easily wield one, or do the... twist pull draw that easily while also at a cantor or gallup.
...
Combo (world class, apparently) horse girl and weaboo, was writing her own translated subtitles for Death Note at the time.
I guess I can take solace in saying this world class rider taught me how to ride a horse...
Utter tangent:
Has anyone ever made a PC that ... has to be pull started like an older ICE lawn mower?
EDIT: I've jerry rigged together spare PC parts into a make shift media center pc... that used the box my roomate's Xbox 360 came in as a 'case'... you had to actually jump the right two pins on the mobo to start it, rofl.
...we used a paper clip that had a bit of colored rubber or epoxy coating of some kind, wire stripper stripped that off of the last inch or so.
But a lawnmower start pc ... that would be even funnier.
Because we do not live in a Democracy with regular election seasons.
We live in a fascist oligarchy, which must constantly beam propoganda into the minds of its citizens.
...
Trump basically never stopped campaigning during the entirety of the Biden term, nor even for his fist term... despite being the President.
US political ad seasons are notorious for being ... way too long, up to a year... compared to most functional demcracies, where this ad season is often several weeks, not several, or many months.
Trump ratcheted this lengthy American political ad season into just literally all the time.
Before him, a sitting President running ads... during the middle of their own term... I think its literally unprecedented. Sure they'd give addresses and speeches to the public in extraordinary situations... but not run what amount to campaign ads... just all the time.
This is the power of money and media in the digital age.
Tell the lies often enough, and they become real to the enthralled. Literally right out of Goebbels playbook.
It truly now just is cult reaffirming propoganda, in the derogatory 1984/dictator sense of propoganda
Trump has stated many times he'll serve a third term. Told people they'd "never need to vote again." He fully plans on being President untill he dies.
... I am a guy, and apparently I have significantly ... thicker, fuller, natural eyelashes than most.
Or at least this is what several (now ex) gfs have told me, over the course of my roughly two decades of dating... that they are actually jealous of them. One joked about me being an eyelash donor to her, ala being a kidney donor or something like that.
Also, several of them, independently, as in... different cities, they aren't in the same social group, come from significantly different backgrounds...
They would ask me to do what they called 'butterfly kisses' which is basically just fluttering your eyelashes together, at not quite as close as this range, but basically just 1 cm further back.
... Can anyone tell me if this is a thing that happens to other people, or has my life (and love life) just been very weird?
Well, on one hand, I am Autistic, I default to literal concrete meanings without fairly explicitly clear context indicating otherwise.
On the other hand... seems to me that just sort of broadly, generally, everyone is kind of... a combination of losing their minds and becoming hyperbolic as a default (due to massive stress of hypercapitalism collapsing living standards)...
...while also there is a massive trend that... basically the post-irony language/humor style of Zoomers has imploded, and nobody can really tell who is or is not joking any more, everything is a Schrödinger's shitpost whose 'true' meaning is nebulous until it is observed and commented on.
I used to be able to tell what were jokes, irony, satire... took me a long time to learn all the nuances.
And then basically that all just collapsed in the last couple of years.
I'm... I'm sorry clay. It's not your fault.
Our mites, they just... they're not compatible.
