Lol, I can see that when computers literally filled up a sizeable room only to have less computing power than a modern TI-84. If we could travel through time, right? :)
哈哈哈哈，放到当时一台电脑能填满一整个房间，而它的计算力还没有今天的TI-84计算器强，换我也会那么想。要是我们能穿越时间就好了，对吧？

At 24, while making $12 an hour and renting an apartment my parents convinced me to buy a brand new Honda Accord. They assured me it was the ONLY WAY to get a new car and that used ones broke down immediately.
24岁那年，拿着每小时12美元的薪酬，租着公寓，我父母让我买一辆全新的本田雅阁。他们说买车只能买新车，二手车会立刻开坏掉。

My dad has hounded me constantly to get a new car. Cars are kind of a big deal for him, not in the sense that he buys fancy ones, but he always wants a new car. So every couple of years, he trades in his car and gets a new one.
我爸一直在忽悠我买一辆新车。车这种东西对他而言很重要，但他也不会买那种特别奢侈的车，只不过他总是想开新车。所以每过两年，他就把旧车折价卖了再买一辆新的。

I got my Rav4 in 2014, brand new. Runs like a dream, barely has any miles on it, and has served me very well. It's got a few door dings on it, but that's about the extent of any damage. According to my dad, my car is getting 'so old' that I won't be able to trade it in for a decent amount. Not to mention that 'it doesn't have any of the safety features, like lane change assist or automatic cruise control adjustment'. I've also never been in an accident, and don't do stupid things like drive in really bad weather.
2014年我买了一辆Rav4，全新款。开起来舒服得像做梦一样，到手的时候里程表基本是空的，并且能满足我的各种需求。车门上有几个非常小的凹痕，但车损情况也就这些了。照我爸说的，我的车已经“太老了”，老到我拿它去卖钱也卖不出好价钱了。更不用提这辆车“没有任何安全辅助措施，比如变道辅助或者自动巡航控制”。我也没肇过事，也不会做像在非常糟糕的天气里开车这样的蠢事。

I've patiently explained to him how money works. I have a paid-off car right now. I don't owe any sort of money or interest. Zero. Nothing to pay off. My Rav4 gets me from point A to point B, plus has the interior capacity I need it for. By getting a new car, my new car would do the exact same thing, but, I now have to pay like $500 a month. So I ask him, why do I need to pay $500 for 5 years if what I have is sufficient?
我已经很耐心地跟他解释过了金钱的原理了。我现在已经有一辆全款买下来的车了。我什么利息也不欠。零。什么也不用还。我的Rav4可以把我从点A带到点B，而且还有我所需要的内部空间。如果我买一辆新车，我的新车也只能做一样的事，但我得每个月多花500美元。所以我问他，既然我现在有的东西已经够用了，我为什么还要还每个月500美元的账单还个五年呢？

Then he goes back to the trade-in value and 'you'd only have to pay like $200 a month because you'd be getting a better deal on your current car'. Ah, I say, you're ignoring the fact that I still have to pay money when I don't need to.
然后我爸就又开始说他那套折价价值，什么“你一个月只用花200，因为你现在的这个车卖了能拿不少钱”。啊，我说，你还是在忽略我得在完全没这个必要的时候多花一分钱的事实。

A few years ago, my mom asked me if I could help with her $100,000 debt. She told me she needed $60,000; I literally had less than $1000 in my bank account. When I asked her where she thought I was going to be able to get that money, she told me to use my credit line.
几年前，我妈妈问我能不能帮她还她十万美元的债务。她说她需要六万美元。我当时银行账户里连1000美元都不到。我问她她觉得我能从哪弄来这么多钱，她说可以用信用额度贷款。

And you HAVE to stay firm. Take it from me. I've been helping my parents pay their bills here and there since I was 18. Added them to my phone plan with the agreement they would pay me $30 a month and I've seen 2 payments in 10 years. If I ask about it my mom just starts crying and says just take the phones then, we don't want them (can't bc my dad is on a transplant list) or cries and says they just won't eat this week. Sad thing is it is usually true bc they already spent everything they had for the week at the casino. It would have helped them a LOT more by just saying I couldn't do it when they asked but as an 18 year old who had just bought a house, when your mom calls crying bc their electric just got cut off and all the fish are dying then you tell her it's going to be ok, bring her to your house for the night and pay the bill.
并且你必须保持坚定。拿我举例子吧。我从18岁就开始帮父母还债。我把他们纳入了我自己的话费套餐里，让他们保证每个月给我30美元，结果过去的10年里他们只给过我两笔。我只要一提起这件事，我妈妈就开始抹眼泪，说那你就把手机拿走吧，反正我们也用不着（我不能拿，因为我爸还在等待器官移植），或者一边哭一边说那这星期我们就不吃饭了。令人难过的是他们说的经常是真话，因为他们可能已经在一星期的头几天就把所有的钱都花在赌场了。如果能在他们要求帮助的时候只是说一句我做不到的话，本来能给他们带来更大的帮助的，但作为一个刚买了一栋房子的18岁年轻人，当你的母亲哭着打电话过来，说自己家的电闸被拉了，鱼都死了的时候，你也只能对她说没关系，把她带到你家过夜，给她付账单。

Until she cracked and started screaming at him asking wtf was he smelling. Apparently his father told him "tell a woman she smells everyday and she'll be constantly clean." He just took that as normal good advice to live by.
直到有一天她绷不住了，问男朋友他到底是从哪儿闻到的味道。结果是他父亲跟他说“每天跟你女人说她身上有臭味，她就会一直保持干净。”他把这句话当成了普通的好建议。

我对治疗烫伤了解的第一件事就是“永远不要把黄油或类似的脂肪抹到患处，因为这会放大烹饪效应。”

My father was a paramedic for 30 years, and he has some stories. One that sticks out to me was a thanksgiving story, which apparently generated numerous calls every year. In one, an older, immigrant couple had decided that they were going to deep fry the turkey in a pot of boiling oil for their first Thanksgiving. The wife and husband attempted to lift the turkey into the pot, lost their grip and splashed burning oil all over themselves. When my father turned up for the call, they were covered in 2nd and 3rd degree burns. As he set about treating them however, he saw that they had covered themselves in a yellow, runny fluid. Confused, he wiped some off and realized that they had attempted to put mustard on their burns. So, either they misremembered the old wife’s tale to put butter on burns, or they thought, “eh mustard’s yellow too, close enough.”
我爸当了30年的急救医生，他有不少故事。让我印象最深刻的是一个感恩节的故事，显然每年感恩节都会有不少人打急救电话。有一对年迈的移民夫妻为了庆祝他们的第一个感恩节，决定上宽油把火鸡给油炸了。两口子把火鸡举起来，结果没攥住，火鸡掉到了锅里，滚烫的热油溅得他们浑身都是。我爸接到电话到场之后，他们已经浑身都是2级和3级的烧伤了。但是在他打算开始治疗的时候，他发现他们用一种黄色的液体抹了全身。他困惑地抹下一点，发现是黄芥末。所以，要不然是他们把往烧伤患处抹黄油的故事记错了，要么他们觉得“呃，黄芥末也是黄的，差不多。”

I was a cook for quite a few years, pretty common thing for minor burns. I have no data or science to go with this claim, only personal experience, but for minor burns mustard did relieve the sting. However, say I splashed fryer oil on my hand and I know it'll blister, that is not the time for condiments. Put the area under running cool water.
我当过几年的厨师，抹黄芥末用来治疗轻微的烧伤还挺普遍的。我对这个说法提供不了数据或者科学原理的支持，只有我个人的经验，但是对于轻微的烧伤来说，黄芥末确实能够缓解刺痛。然而，比如说我把炸锅里的油溅到了我的手上，我知道会起水泡的话，那么这时候就不适合放调料了。赶紧把患处放到流动的冷水里。

Mustard is pretty good for mild burns. It contains allyl isothiocyanate, which is anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving among other things. However, it's bad for severe burns because it's also a vasodilator and skin irritant and will make a bad burn worse. In fact, if you compress a lot of concentrated mustard on your normal (not burned skin), you can get burns from that.
黄芥末用来处理轻度的烧伤确实不错。里面有异硫氰酸烯丙酯（芥子油），它是一种抗感染、止痛的物质。然而它对于严重烧伤是有害的，因为它同时也是血管舒张剂和皮肤过敏源，会让本来就严重的烧伤变得更加严重。事实上，假如你把大量的浓缩芥末按压到没有烧伤的皮肤上，你也会得烧伤。

His mom said he shouldn't waste his life working "at a factory" and go to collage despite him having a 1.8 GPA in Highschool and very good with working with his hands. He quit, took 2 classes at college and dropped out. He spent the next 8 years making pizza because the job market was trash.

Not everyone is college material, nor do they need to be. You don't need a degree. You need a skill that you can sell to someone for money, and college is just one way to get that (or at least convince someone else that you got it). Just find something you're good at and run with it. That may or may not require a college education.

I got calls sometimes to go blow a day off on work because nobody else wanted to and I always said yes. I felt like I was positively contributing to the team. Helping everyone else.

我离职了，我很高兴自己离职。
