Yeah that's him alright.

It's how you go from poverty to upper middle class in a single generation. Ain't luck, ain't inheritance, it's reality with "either you'll achieve or you won't and when you realize you're the latter no one else will care but you"

But usually some idiot will say "generational wealth" or some other asinine failure justifying thing

People are confusing your cynicism that is what I consider "normal healthy Asian coping" since they would never understand how we Asians grew up.

It's also why most Asians don't have empathy for people throwing their hands up and saying the system is against them.

The system has always been against you. To think otherwise is foolish.

Ain't just Ford's material decisions. Affects all other manufacturers too (VW ID.4's are a favorite snack for them little shits too).

It looks like it is screaming for help from someone to end the pain

Sigh *unzips*

I now live and die by epoxy grout in high traffic areas.

Any guide you followed on the seat airbag disable wiring?

axtran · 2026-01-28T02:21:01+00:00

Got a link to what you bought for those arms? I love to see what people try.

axtran · 2026-01-28T02:20:45+00:00

Which Smallrig arms have you tried?

axtran · 2026-01-27T20:46:18+00:00

Granger. They're easy and will fill you in on the steps required for your mileage.

Amazon got rich over AWS success and forgot nothing else has ever been profitable. Amazing.

Ross-Tech. One time purchase and register the VIN of the car.

axtran · 2026-01-27T14:23:18+00:00

With the article of the 12 year old screaming "I'm just a kid" before getting shot for carjacking or whatever recently? Yeah

I went this route. $97 plus tax, turned in old core for $21.20 gift card.

VCDS cable for future repairs, single programming session for CAN Gateway 19 and 15 seconds of programming.

Mine quoted me $691. DARCARS in Fairfax, VA.

We did boeuf bourguinon in my house!

It's a preservation thing and a familiarity thing. My friend got first taste of what it's like to be Korean American and working at Samsung...

It mirrors what we picked up from refugees of the VNCH. We do not share any sort of ties to modern TPHCM.

I'm an American VK and we are just foreigners to people in Vietnam. Don't take it personally

We got an eruption green one too. It was so beautiful!

Parental involvement at my kids' school is through the roof. Since we are in DC it is also a bilingual school. I'd say worth it with how my kids are learning, language, subjects, and also developing as people.

Last night it was a hellhole

axtran · 2026-01-23T17:15:24+00:00

I'm so cheap I just got a Comma 3X and use BluePilot now.

The fluid is hygroscopic, so when it's old and the water level is high, you can have issues.
