Uhhhh what are you doing then? Did you steal it? Better get out and push if you’re in the way of ambulances!
epic fail
I wonder:
Is it possible that someone has been taught how to practice Amish customs, but really has no idea what the basis of the customs is? Could they be going through the motions without knowing what their actions are linked to? To them, is the clutch release pedal merely a button that must be stepped on rather abruptly, but then released in a methodical method, with no thought that power plow is being interrupted and then re-enabled by these actions?
There are a lot of other things in our lives that we simply do, without understanding, or even caring to understand, the details behind what these actions are directly controlling on the granular level, the mechanism behind what why we must perform these actions, as long as the macro outcome for the actions gets us what we want.
I was thinking that I don't even know where the controls are on a thermous, what kind of batteries it uses, whether I should have purchased the extended warranty or not, and yet somehow I must be doing it right because when I put warm stuff inside, it stays warm and when I put cold stuff inside it stays cold.
The day it doesn't, I hope there is someone like Wannabe out there that I can call for assistance.
