I'm a carrier for USPS, I have a guy on my route who often orders Volkswagen parts from all over Europe. One day he got a replacement subframe for one of his VW's from Estonia and it arrived at our office pretty beat up. When he needed to sign for it he saw the condition and I told him that's how we received it. The shipper sent it by just sticking the subframe in a box, no padding, no supports, just a cardboard box for a trip around the world. He obviously was upset and had another one sent as a replacement after filing a claim.

The replacement was packaged exactly the same, and luckily only slightly bent on arrival. The old one is still sitting in our office in limbo.

If you're gonna ship something overseas or across town package that shit properly

Not even just that, but modern vehicles make it a pain in the ass to just put your wipers up before a snow storm. Used to be you just lift them up and they're done. Now you have to get in the car, hold the wiper stalk up to the manual wipe mode and let them go up before you can get back out and lift them. I know it's for aerodynamics hiding them under the cowel but it's still a pain in the ass. My last 2 cars have had this feature.

Not exactly, I play Halo MCC online, Dead by Daylight, Splitgate, etc. Lots of multiplayer games work fine for me. I use EOS btw

It's actually completely unplayable for Linux users because of the new anti cheat.

The absolute bliss

Same with me when I was in Brazil, it was chugging along just fine back in New England

Actually I had an issue where trying to sign into my samba share caused explorer.exe to crash constantly, running sfc /scannow fixed it surprisingly. Glad that's on my "these programs only work on Windows" system.

I don't recommend anyone buy a Jeep, not because of the ads but because they're built like shit. Quality has been in free fall for decades while prices have skyrocketed. Death wobble issues (Wranglers), motor reliability out the window, rust, more rust, just not worth it.

I owned a 94 Cherokee and I loved it, and even though that 4.0L straight 6 had problems at least it would still run with bad piston rings, mysterious battery drain and holes in my radiator. The new ones just can't compete.

Yeah my 3090 K|ngP|n pulls over 500w easily, but that's over 3 8 pin PCIe cables, all dedicated. Power delivery was something I took seriously when getting that card installed, as well as cooling. Made sure my 1300w PSU had plenty of dedicated PCIe ports.

Funny, just installed EOS on my new system and it's been great! Only had a few small hiccups with setup due to the strange setup I have.

Exactly, sometimes you just wanna jam to some mp3's out of an iPod like the good ol days. It's about the ✨vibes✨

Just saw the notification for this in my Youtube Studio. For now it seems as if this setting is turned off by default, but for anyone like myself who uploads videos to Youtube, I recommend checking that they don't decide to toggle this on for you in the future.
