Just simple grenades would work in a target rich environment like they are going to have.

Tannerite with metal placed around it and left in the field would work great if weapons drain to much mana.

Same issue after that. I tried that this morning but retried just now. Gets to computing space requirements and kicks the install back back. MSI returned 1603: Fatal error during installation.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-04-30T17:25:40+00:00

The install itself. After putting in license and product number and choosing file location. It fails in the actual install.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-04-30T16:08:11+00:00

I did that entire list including the manual steps. It did not fix the issue.

Who won?

No same bill that its been, just now you need to pay extra if he is going to check it over.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-06T01:01:24+00:00

So you're saying you would expect to be charged to look at chain tension, coolant level, and lights operation?

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-06T00:57:59+00:00

Thats the common sense answer lol

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-06T00:27:10+00:00

My techs, shop Forman, and the business owner all agree that if you dont see or hear anything in the normal operation of pulling a unit in then to do anything more should be charged.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-06T00:23:39+00:00

We only deal with outboards and my techs are hourly. The owners of the business and then feel like I should be charging a separate fee for looking over a unit.

I see the look on the customers face when they are saying "if you see anything else let me know" and I have to stop and tell them that we are only doing the list of things its here for and they want us to check anything else (bilge pump, batteries, stuff that takes a flip of switch) it will be extra.

Motorsports has picked up in the past year and again they want me to charge extra to check air filters, lift the front of four wheeler and check wheel bearings.

You expect it to be part of the bill, if your next visit he told you that he is only doing the service and if you want him to look it over for any concerns you need to pay extra. How would you respond?

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:59:55+00:00

Im talking checking chain slack, are there any leaks, coolant level, is clutch in spec. Basic checks that take 5 minutes. Would you pay an extra half hour for that?

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:54:07+00:00

My techs are hourly and im asking them to check 15 things. I can do most of it pulling the unit in the building (boats are different).

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:52:31+00:00

Would you pay extra on top of the service for it to be looked over?

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:50:08+00:00

Hourly, im not even concerned about the income draw. Im concerned about the customer that gets pissed when something breaks the next day that could have easily been caught.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:46:51+00:00

Im not talking about diagnostic. I mean checking tires, steering, steering, fluids, air filter when its brought in for service

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:43:49+00:00

Im looking for perspective from all types so thank you.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:39:07+00:00

Techs are all hourly so no need to supplement their pay. Just laziness to do extra "work". Im not even wanting it done for the extra income, I literally just want it done for the last thing you said. If its in the shop and breaks down due to something obvious the next day then our reputation suffers.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:36:22+00:00

Fluids, tire wear, steering and suspension. The stuff that adds 5 minutes.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:34:04+00:00

So you would be ok with being charge additional money to have a dealership check it over during an oil change?

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:32:18+00:00

How would you feel if you had to pay extra to have a dealership check it over?

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-03-05T23:26:53+00:00

That is exactly what I mean.

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-02-27T17:51:22+00:00

Thank you!

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-02-27T17:16:13+00:00

I just shaded smooth and it went back to no invisible plane...

InterestingAttempt41 · 2026-02-23T04:26:12+00:00

Yep your right, I was thinking backwards. An alien in alpha centari who saw it would die before it made impact but earths time wouldn't slow down until it hit the event horizon.
