  • Man, I saw one 2 weeks ago up close.

    Its such a fingerprint magnet, it’s not even funny. The owner was using it just like a normal pickup and normal things you do with pickups were causing serious wear and tear that should take years. The buttons for the bed cover feel cheap and like they’re going to break. There’s no way they’ll stand up to California sun. The front quarter panel corner is SHARP. There are lots of sharp corners that are very capable of causing harm.

    I always look at everything with a “how could I fix this if it breaks” mind, and the cybertruck just drives me nuts. It’d be impossible to fix

    My friend says I act like this.

    I read a book called “how to win friends and influence people” and it completely changed my life for the better once I started taking the book literally.

    Everybody tends to be selfish and think of themselves (not in a bad way). If you play into this and learn what people are interested in, you instantly become interesting to that person.

    “Hey Ricky, how’s your hot wheels collection! Get any new classics?” True story, different name. That’s just the butcher at the grocery store I frequent. He’ll tell me all about his latest hot wheels collection, and then I get a discount, we both win. I’ve made a friend, and influenced him to give me a deal.








  • I work on copiers for a living. Seriously, fuck HP.

    I swear they’re designed not to be worked on. Just speaking of the fuser on any Laserjet photocopier, they heat up and cool down constantly. Obviously stuff is going to break and it needs to be repaired.

    HP says fuck you! On the little desktop printers, on some models, you have to take all plastic panels off, and they all connect to each other so good luck getting it put back together right. They’re built exactly like a rubix cube. I literally clip off plastic tabs and just leave it. The customer never knows.

    I’ve been through official HP training. They told me “we can’t teach you on a specific model because we average a new model every month, so we’ll just give you a ball park on what to look for”

    I stopped calling HP support because they don’t even know their own machines. Shout-out to Laser Pros, they’re the best.
