Unless it involves warranty on something expensive, we just do it ourselves and if we need a CANbus address programmed in, I call them out to do that for the minimum charge. If I do get them to do something, I check it after pretty closely.

Had a guy out to install a turbo on our 7630; he hadn’t tightened the collar for the oil supply, if you can believe it. I did talk to the service manager about that one, that was pretty egregious. Like really, on a turbo, keeping that oil bearing pressured is probably the only critical thing to watch for.

Small ones will mostly ablate in the atmosphere. Bigger ones will still end up solid enough to come apart and either strike or explode above ground.

Probably because they have 3 ounces of gold and a dimebag of meth inside every one.

I had a guy putting tires on one of our heavy trucks and I went out in the yard to see how he was making out just as I hear buppa-buppa-buppa-fuck!

He’s broken off a 7/8" wheel stud with his fucking 1" air gun, putting the over-nut on and ugga-duggaing the fuck out of it for some goddamn reason. Shrugs his shoulders and tells me it must have been broken already (it wasn’t, break was shiny all the way through). He’s got another one broken off on the ground beside him. Asks me if it’s ok with 8 out of 10 (on duallies, ffs). I send him home and take the drums off and pound out the studs.

It’s too damn often where I spend just as much time fixing mechanic’s fuckups as I would have to do it myself. Had a Deere mechanic do some insurance-funded work on a combine I blew up so we’d get warranty, I swear he didn’t own a torque wrench. Had to tear it down and re-torque nearly every bolt.

I used to shit like every two to three days, especially if I were out backpacking. Now it’s more like daily.

Go listen to him on Jon Stewart’s Weekly Show episode and decide.

I don’t have a horse in this race because I live in a mostly sane country, but if what he talks about actually were to come to pass, every USian on the Fediverse would be in heaven.

Only if my estate gets the video rights.

You’re wrong again. It’s also snaps.

This guy horses.

I can’t get my horse to get within a stone’s throw of a truck that he’s seen daily for 5 years but is apparently still the scariest thing on earth and will eat him.

If I tried to take him into a convenience store, he’d probably buck me off and drag me to death across the parking lot.

Did she shoot herself in the back of the head three times?

Doesnt use single quotes, only double

Randy needs to fall through his own asshole and strangle himself.

Stay the fuck there, Dave.

Some HP SFF with 8GB+ and maybe 6th gen or higher would suffice. Spend $100 on a used one which will come with a small SSD. Slap a used 4TB drive in it for storage. Install Debian, Docker and use the NC AIO config.

Don’t piss around with a Pi that’s going to be twice the price with a tiny SD card (that you shouldn’t use for volatile storage), no NVME or SATA, and a tenth of the processing power.

Drink raw milk and help improve the genetic pool.

If you want to build something fast and not deal with the ridiculous and ever-changing complexity that is Eclipse/Kotlin, consider Flutter. It’s cross-platform so if there turns out to be a Linux phone that gets past the stage of novelty, you won’t be re-writing it.

Flutter has it’s downsides, but it’s a pretty good platform overall. Many Android (and iOS) apps are done in it.

I can’t imagine all the fireplaces in North America emit what 10 seconds of the forest fires we’ve had over the last couple years in Canada would have. Talk about pissing into the ocean.

Most people should be using a VPN and not exposing these things to the internet at large via proxies or port forwards.

What, does jerking two guys off in your face make you gay?
