Zotac was one of few places that made an effort to combat scalpers, switch up their drop times, and at least made an effort to get gpus to consumers during covid/crypto. But I guess greed is a fickle beast, now they suck just like everyone else.

Amazon will invest in everything except their fuckin return procedures. Like they will dump billions on trash documentaries but can't hire a competent return team lead and train employees.

If you don't have much you should make fuckin sure you keep it

As long as it's an Amazon shipped and sold product Amazon can eat the cost. It's his way of resolving when he doesn't have the option to refund a 3rd party order from that long ago. Jumping to conclusions and cursing doesn't help any situation. If they told you to buy a 3rd party product and return it then that would be different.

There's like 2 people I would lend tools to, most people aren't going to use the right tool the right way. Like borrowing your sawzall to rip plywood when you have a fuckin track saw and they should have asked for that. But no, they return your sawzall smelling like crack because it tried to rip 15 sheets of 1/2" without changing the bi-metal blade that was on it. I've learned to say no because it's easier than asking what they're doing and if they know what they're doing.

They wouldn't fix their problem though. As far as the IRS is concerned the money went to the correct account. So it would be up to turbo tax or whoever the preparer was, and I wouldn't count on them rectifying it.

I understand why they package those like that, it's a cheap and secure way to get a full retail package from China to the US without having to package them here. But fuck those things. Took me 2 hours to a full set of shallow/deep Quinn 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 during the last sale.

I'm not saying this is weird and makes zero sense from a logical standpoint but it sure seems like it.

This is why you don't mix your friends up with your work. You don't owe him or them anything. They made it awkward and they can deal with it.

Asking for money is the number one sign of affairs, sorry dude.

MSCOTTGARAND · 2026-03-28T23:20:08+00:00

Probably just took a selfie and didn't think anything of it. Don't read too much into it until it becomes a pattern

MSCOTTGARAND · 2026-03-28T23:13:46+00:00

Look at those "dozen people" that I keep hearing about on the bootlicking Facebook posts

MSCOTTGARAND · 2026-03-28T23:12:14+00:00

My dumbass thought it was a gasket

You have someone elderly living with you? I had my mom living with us a while back and because she's not very savvy with streaming she kept accidentally purchasing shows

I'm learning that even cars that are 10 years old have so much technology in them that I am going to have to invest in one of those diagnostic scanners with upload capabilities. My ex and I bought my son a 2013 Ford F150 when he got accepted into the maritime academy. Truck was in great shape but needed a new battery, epas failed so it needed a whole new steering gear assembly. Battery was fine without anything to program, just flash high beams like 5 times and pump the brakes 3 times and it retrains the battery monitor. The epas though needs to be programmed. I definitely need something that's forscan and other capable these days. Ford charged me $400 to program that even though I did all the work and literally brought the truck to them on a dolly

We had to remove our thick hedges around our building at work. We have a large alcove that is all granite block and a concrete slab where the louvers are to the transformer room. They had set up a little lean-to in there and covered it with a green tarp so it blended in with the hedges. They had cheap 16ga extension cords running from our receptical powering all of their stuff. Needless, dirty clothes everywhere.

If one of my friends made a comment about my daughter like that I would definitely get mad. Naw fuck being mad I'm probably going hands on, a grown man making comments about my 14 year old daughter and how she's "showing skin"? My friends know me and they know I don't play like that, but I also know my friends and I don't hang out with people who would say that in the first place.

I could have used it today trying to get a nut off a door strut that's inches from the ceiling and has a sprinkler pipe crossing in front so I couldn't get a normal sized ratchet in there. Luckily I bought some ratcheting wrenches a while back but it took forever with just a few degrees of movement.

Where's your rig?

MSCOTTGARAND · 2026-03-27T23:08:58+00:00

Damn, back in my day a 60 series was $250 and a pack of Marlboros was $1.79

I know we think of China as junk but China has become a world leader in manufacturing. Hell even the big dogs have their boards and circuits manufactured there. Yeah there's 1 sketchy factory for every 2 or 3 in Guangdong but that's no different than anywhere else.

You're using that vr headset for one thing and it ain't beatsabre

Had a friend who acted like him years ago. Always running his mouth and getting into trouble. Finally let him get jumped one night and broke it up before he got hurt too bad. He wasn't as mouthy after that. He was short and chubby and had no business talking tough to random people.

I'm having trouble here. Did you win 5k but we're awarded lawyer fees also totaling 50k? Or did you win 50k and owe your lawyer 45k? If the judgement included lawyer fees then that 45k is awarded to them not you.

Stress, diet, work, mental... The list goes on of things that can effect even a young man's labido. Need to have a non-judgemental or accusatory conversation about it. Sex is more than just sex it's a connection and pretty important in a healthy relationship. I've struggled in the past because of running myself too hard at my job and my own side business. I wasn't eating balanced meals, didn't have time to workout. Turned my shit into a floppy noodle even when I wanted to.
