He took the front brake lever off to reduce the bikes weight and go faster, since he lacks a right hand to use the brake...

We have this in the US to. Even McDonalds does them!

I thought you were joking. Then I read the article. Crazy!

For being 15 years old and an April Fool's joke, that was pretty good.

Did you miss the bit about 11 years of school to get to that point (and the debt that will come with that)?

Odd. I just did it and it worked for me.

If you get a message urging you to deposit a check and wire money back, it’s a scam. Every time. No matter the story. And if this were a legitimate car wrap opportunity, wouldn’t the company directly pay the car-wrapping vendor, instead of asking you to do it?

The FTC didnt beat around the bush on that one.

Is this thing really for sale?...

And here I was thinking my 360+ hours in BoTW was excessive....

Not OP, but... I took a pay cut years ago not as dramatic of a cut about 104k to 72k. I no longer had to drive to work but took a bus so I saved 90 miles (145 km) a day in driving. So I had a big savings on gas, and car, and with the time savings I could switch my kid to a regular daycare because I no longer needed extended hours. I had more free time to cook all of our meals so I had a big savings on food versus take out all the time. I also had the time to do work on my house versus hiring out. I cut back on vacation budgets but we had time to get out of the house and play at the parks and trails nearby every day. All and all a cut in income but a big increase in enjoyment in life. For savings I was able to save about the same between the two jobs.

It was the Wheel Of Time series that got me to get an e-reader, those books where massive tomes and a PITA to carry around. I've stuck with an e-reader since, easy on size, weight, and the eyes. I got a Kindle Paperwhite for the back lightning like a decade ago or when ever it came out and use Calibre to manage the books on it.
