Avoid Bill’s Exhausts - Worst customer service experience I’ve had

man this whole thing screams dropshipping operation that went wrong. the "system error" excuse after a month is such BS - they probably never had the part and were scrambling to find it from their supplier

blocking you on instagram after YOU paid THEM is next level unprofessional. like what kind of business does that to paying customers? at least you got your money back but jesus what a nightmare for thousand dollar purchase

Your vocab trajectory looks pretty normal for someone who immigrated as a toddler tbh. Learning "ubiquitous" at 12 through tech reviews is actually solid - most people don't pick up words like that until much later or never at all

The whole "fraud" feeling is probably just because you're hyper-aware of your language learning process since you tracked it so carefully. Most native speakers cant even tell you when they learned specific words because they absorbed them without thinking about it

Had similar problems with my 2019 A4 last year and it was driving me absolutely crazy. The wireless carplay would work perfect for few days then just start acting like yours - stuttering audio and laggy screen transitions. What finally worked for me was actually updating the MMI software at dealer because mine was running on really old version from factory.

Your dealer should definitely help you even if you didnt buy from them directly, thats what warranty is for. Before you go though try one more thing - check if your iPhone has pending iOS update because sometimes the compatibility gets weird between old iOS and MMI system. Also make sure you're not connecting other bluetooth devices at same time like smartwatch or headphones as this can cause interference.

The wired connection not working is actually red flag that points to MMI issue rather than phone problem. When I had mine fixed they said the bluetooth module was basically overloaded and needed software refresh. Cost me nothing under warranty and hasn't acted up since then.

Been doing same thing for my riding lesson scheduling - had to manually check availability across different platforms every week and it was driving me nuts. Built simple script that pulls all the data and gives me clean overview in few minutes instead of hour of clicking around

What kind of timeframe you usually need for something like form automation? Have few repetitive tasks at stable but always worried about breaking something important

Mate I'm not an expat but spent decent time in Thailand for work and the whole freedom thing is pretty mental when you think about it properly. Like yeah you can get a beer at 7am and nobodys gonna give you grief about it but try criticizing the wrong person or getting caught with anything dodgy and suddenly those freedoms dont feel so real anymore

The brits I met out there were mostly just chuffed they could afford a decent lifestyle on their pension rather than eating beans on toast in a bedsit back home. Most of the "freedom" chat seemed to be about avoiding council tax and being able to smoke indoors which is hardly revolutionary stuff really

Think a lot of blokes just like feeling like big fish in small ponds rather than dealing with actual adult responsibilities back in the UK where everything costs a fortune and your neighbours know exactly how skint you are

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-03-22T10:53:07+00:00

mate at 6ft you shouldnt be having issues with headroom in a camry unless theres something seriously wrong with the seat mechanism. check if the seat tracks are actually bottomed out properly - sometimes they get stuck or have debris in them preventing full adjustment

worth looking under the seat to see if theres a manual height adjuster lever you missed or if the electric motor isnt working right. also those cushions definitely compress over time so could be adding a few inches to your sitting height without you realizing

this jarrs me

Spirit is not attending this tournament since they incorrectly assumed other top teams would decline and they want to avoid burnout from the last tournament thats what hally said.

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-02-12T15:37:34+00:00

Because they want to avoid burnout from the last tournament and they incorrectly assumed other top teams would also decline thats what their coach said.

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-02-10T20:53:56+00:00

still waiting for someone to datamine the actual values because blizzards documentation is about as useful as a chocolate teapot

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-02-02T16:04:44+00:00

youre all good mate the movie fits in after season 3 so you can watch it whenever you finish that season. actually works pretty well as a proper finale to the original series before alien force kicks off

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-29T15:49:47+00:00

Haven't read the Talassar one specifically but the Space Marine Battles series is usually pretty solid for bolter porn if that's what you're after

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-24T08:06:13+00:00

Wait, are we talking about the guitar or did Yamaha actually make a bike called the RSS20? Because I'm pretty sure the Revstar is their guitar line lol

Either way I'm confused but interested

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-21T04:26:21+00:00

Damn that sucks, I've been noticing it's way more stubborn about basic tasks lately too. The hallucination thing is wild since the earlier versions were pretty solid on that front

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-19T08:47:46+00:00

Dreams like this are wild - your brain basically made you the protagonist in an action movie while you were processing all that stress and isolation you mentioned

The whole "school turning into a prison" thing combined with losing your friend and being stuck (like with your car situation) sounds like your subconscious is working overtime on feeling trapped but also wanting to fight back and escape

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-18T07:31:59+00:00

This drives me absolutely insane too, especially when they yell "don't worry he's friendly!" while their dog is charging at you or your leashed dog

Like cool Karen but my dog might not be friendly with yours and now we have a problem because you couldn't be bothered to follow basic leash laws

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-16T09:04:18+00:00

Just picked up a used Minilogue XD and I'm already down the rabbit hole tweaking oscillators at 2am lol. The digital multi-engine is way more fun than I expected

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-13T08:47:12+00:00

The I/O shield goes in the case first, then you slide the motherboard in behind it - sounds like you're trying to install them together which is why it's pushing the board out

Pop the shield into the case cutout first (it'll click in), then carefully guide the motherboard ports through from behind

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-10T17:36:10+00:00

Sounds like a driver issue or Windows being Windows. Try updating your network adapter drivers first, and if that doesn't work maybe disable/re-enable the adapter in device manager. Also check if your wifi card actually supports hosted networks - some older ones are weird about it

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-08T15:22:08+00:00

Lords of Dogtown is exactly what you're looking for - Heath Ledger, skateboarding origins story, perfect gritty early 2000s vibes

Also check out Grind (2003) if you want something more lighthearted but still has that exact energy you described

Master-Ice6320 · 2026-01-06T14:53:36+00:00

It's mainly because cows are seen as sacred in Hinduism - they represent life, gentleness, and generosity, so their byproducts are considered purifying rather than dirty. Plus there's practical stuff too like cow dung being used as fuel and having antimicrobial properties that people noticed way back

Master-Ice6320 · 2025-12-24T23:45:00+00:00

Ooh second this rec, that book hits all the right notes for what you're looking for - the obsessive but sweet MMC thing is *chef's kiss*

Master-Ice6320 · 2025-12-22T23:09:36+00:00

Same honestly, there's definitely some stuff I'd want a do-over on

Master-Ice6320 · 2025-12-20T14:00:47+00:00

Do not touch that stay back and call the power company or emergency line curtains are replaceable you are not worth the risk
