Borderlands 2 had a Mr. Torgue AMA, and that shit was explosively hilarious.

Edit: Link for the lazy

What movie(s) did you wear out from watching so much as a kid?

I'm not handy at all. In fact, my construction worker step-dad laughs his ass off when I tell him it takes me 4-6 hours to do things he could do in 10-20 minutes. But a couple plumbing things I've done on my own with only YouTube videos to help:

Replace all of the mechanical stuff inside the toilet tank (which includes the rubber thing between the tank and the toilet itself so it doesn't leak)

Replace pipe from toilet tank to wall valve

Replace entire drain assembly and pipes under a bathroom sink

Replace kitchen faucet

For someone who isn't handy in the slightest, I feel pretty damn good about handling all of that. Yeah, it took me forever, but it saved me a ton of money and helps me feel more personally invested in my home.

Anyway, my point is that there's some stuff that might seem big to someone inexperienced, but YouTube and patience have done wonders with making these repairs accessible to pretty much anyone.

I see a lot of people responding to you with negativity. As someone who has lived in the US my whole life (in and near Chicago, so I've got a major city background), I honestly found Wyoming to be the most beautiful state I've visited so far. It really comes down to what you like and what would satisfy you.

A lot of the fly-over states get a significant portion of income from tourism (South Dakota especially, where Mount Rushmore was literally conceived as a tourist trap), so they use whatever they can to get people to stop and leave some money behind. As a result, Wyoming cheapens some of the wild west aesthetic and sells it in shops all over. You can find experiences and tours that are genuine, but a lot of it is to cash in on your idea of what it's supposed to be like.

However, all that aside, I found it to be breath-takingly beautiful. I loved the nothingness sprawled out in browns and reds all around. I loved how dark it got at night. I loved experiencing all four seasons driving from the base of a mountain in the summer to an altitude where it snowed in June, and back down again. I loved Devil's Tower and the surrounding nature where prairie dogs are wild. I saw a river valley that reminded me of the one Dolores draws in Westworld (though I believe that specific one is in Utah). Yellowstone is out west in Wyoming and is incredible, driving along and having the Grand Tetons next to you is amazing.

Wyoming, to me, is a state to visit when you want to slow down time, take in wide open spaces, experience nature, and do whatever it is that makes you happy. I found the people to be kind, but unlike major cities where people are the draw (more people means theater, architecture, man-made parks and art, diverse food and cultures), I found value in being away from people in Wyoming.

I threw together a little album from my visit 8 years ago.

So for life advice - do things that make you happy, then do things that remind you of those things.
