All of you are so adorable. I wish I had enough cages in my basement to keep each of you in.
My neighbor (apartment) sounds like he is hitting a ball against the wall, albeit the outside wall and not the shared one between us. Either way though I can hear it. Although sometimes it's a lot louder than that and I can feel it on the floor. So not sure what the hell he is doing honestly. Should I go passive aggressive and just throw a ball against our shared wall? Maybe do it in middle of the night, or wait until he's watching a movie or something with his lady friend.
“A man was shot by police today after they responded to reports of screaming and the sound of a chainsaw coming from inside a residence...”
I've lived here for like 7 years now and it's been relatively quiet. But in the past couple of months he's started banging his balls over there. Goes on for maybe 10-15 minutes. I've tried figuring out what the noise is exactly. Sometimes it's just a tap noise, other times like I mentioned before it sounds like he drops a bowling ball. Maybe he dives for the ball and lands on the ground. Not sure what the new guy below him thinks, or the guy below me if he can hear. The guy below me got some college kids kicked out before for having parties until like 3 in the morning and having a dog that just barked like crazy. Dogs aren't allowed.
Also, I found the blueprints to our apartments on the management website, and I think he's bedroom is right next to the wall in the hallway.

The last time I ever stayed in a motel room, the guy in the next room was loudly moaning all night long. I hit the wall several times throughout the night yelling at him to stfu thinking he was getting his freak on. I saw him the next morning and he was like 80 dragging around an oxygen tank and he looked like we was in his final weeks of living.
Why does every male YouTuber, especially of a certain demographic, have to start out their videos by saying, "It's your boy..... *Insert dumb YouTube moniker here*?
I've never been to your channel and we're not boys.
"Don't forget to slap that like button."
How about you slap my peepee?

Can I be second in command? I listened to a podcast on Heaven's Gate and something like that sounds like it would be fun.
Start a local chapter of The Church of the Sub-Genious.
Follow the great J. R. Bob Dobbs.
The Sultan of Sales.
The Prophet of Profits.
Pity the poor human Earth Pink who comes looking for a SIMPLE, SHORT EXPLANATION of The Church of the SubGenius™, one that he or she can UNDERSTAND QUICKLY. If the Church could provide THAT, it would be bigger than Islam or Christianity by now -- and probably much, much worse.
A True SubGenius, however, understands EVERYTHING, INSTANTLY upon exposure to the Word or even just the Face of Dobbs.
Give me Slack!

Optionally, look into Discordianism.
Thornley and Hill wrote a foundational document entitled The Principia Discordia under the names Malaclypse the Younger and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, which formed the template of what would become the religion of Discordianism proper. Discordianism is founded on the worship of Eris, Goddess of Chaos, and is purely dedicated to the creation of Zen confusion in the hope of unlocking enlightenment in its “adherents.” It was an important precursor of what, ten years later, would be dubbed Chaos .
One of the great books of our time, Principia Discordia is the official bible of the most relevant religion ever conceived, Discordianism. This legendary underground classic contains absolutely everything worth knowing about absolutely anything, including The Law of Fives, The Gospel According to Fred, The Five Apostles of Eris and The Book of Uterus. Discordianism is the religion for these screwed-up times, andPrincipia Discordia reveals it here for your enlightenment, confusion and entertainment.

I've been driving a weird automatic mini Semitruck just moving trailers. The freight has slowed down at my customers, so I'm thinking of picking up weekend hours. This would probably require using manual transmission 10 Speed Road Tractors.
This is such an awkward skill to get down and sudden deceleration from hills will mess with the timing.
NOTE: These don't work the same as manual cars and require Double Clutch Shifting.

One of the weird things is slowing down quickly say to catch a sharp exit ramp. The way I remember doing it is clutching when the truck started to lug from going slow in 10th, then shifting to Neutral, revving the RPMs, then clutching again while downshifting directly to 6th gear when at about 15mph.
You also have to keep in mind the front switch going between the low and high gears ranges.
I think my problem would be double clutching. I've never tried it and I imagine my poor clutch would cry for help. Maybe when I go to trade it in...
My "dad" was a trucker and I got to go with him a few times on the road. I always wanted to drive across the country doing that, but the opportunity never came. I couldn't even think about it now. The older I've gotten the worse I've become with panic attacks while driving in cities, plus I have major sleep disorders anyway. I don't think I could deal with shifting 1000's of times and dealing with the stupid humans on the roads.
I guess it might be a manual 10 after all. I'm a little disappointed; I was hoping to practice.
It's probably going to be an Automatic Volvo.
I looked it over and there is no AUX Jack on the radio so I'm not sure how I'll play music or Audible Books.
The plus side to this is Volvos are just about the most comfortable rides. It's like driving a gigantic SUV. Also, I'm still glad to be getting Road Truck experience since toward the end of this year I might apply to Schneider National. I don't think Yard Jockey is taken seriously as Trucking experience.

I drive an Auto now after driving manual for years. Never missed it one bit. My car has those F1 wannabe paddles on both sides of the steering wheel, I used it like 5 times max in my 1.5 years of ownership, & mostly to test if they worked.
