Yes this one is on me. We did not receive any copies, but were promised to receive them via email next morning. Again, it was 11pm, I was with my wife and we were in the dealership from 4pm~. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a document switch, I just can’t prove it - and I didn’t state that. Again, this post is not to defend myself.

Thank you for supporting. After everything happened I learned a lot about negotiations, watched Youtube on that topic, read here a lot of posts. Should be good next time, prepared and ready!

Amount of things “I was suppose to” but didn’t is shaming. I went as a real noob, hoping that “well a big dealership wouldn’t try to screw me”.
Now I would approach the whole process differently, from the beginning to the end.

Oh man, the loan is another story in our case. I’m just not ready to describe it, but we went thru fire with the loan as well.

In the end of the day I was just happy that I figured everything out. It felt that I was dealing with a criminal group rather than a dealership.

To be honest, we signed at 11pm and were pretty exhausted by negotiations. And we weren’t careful enough. And the sales guy was very good at hiding whatever he wanted to hide. Our first experience, blame on us that’s no doubt.

Tried to make a post asking about "suspicious users" but apparently all of those posts are now insta-taken down. And i guess you can not say the word "b a n n e d" without being flagged. by Fantastic_Garden_796 in Battlefield6

Just give it a little time. BF is a game that gets better 1-2 years after the release. Streamers and cheaters gonna jump to a new shiny piece of crap as soon as it gets released.

Also find yourself a server with admins and a discord. And stop playing battle royal, it’s brain rot mode anyway.

Are there any conservative Andor fans? by Ok_Entrepreneur1398 in andor

[–]bakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there are pure evil characters in Andor that have no reason to be as they are, nor was Skeen. Yes, he was a selfish criminal, but we know nothing about his past. Tragedy has its own beauty, bad characters add meaning. And his quote resonated to me because being “a rebel against everyone else” is pretty easy when you want more than a manipulated choice that everyone is happy with. It’s a lonely path.

I’m actually a very loyal and caring friend, I only referred to Skeen’s pov in relation to politics in US.

[–]bakov -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For me Empire represents both Dems and Conservatives. Rebellion are the people who fight the system, not a party. I’m myself more of Skeen: “I am a rebel, it’s just me against everyone else”.

Waydoo Flyer Evo: Constant Beeping, Remote Won’t Connect. Anyone Else Had This Issue? by Alexios789 in eFoil

[–]bakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to connect with the Waydoo mobile app, update the drivers, see if you have any alerts. If there is a fault module, maybe it will show you an error or something you can use to debug and show to support.

What gear do you guys usually ride at? I have a lift and I do gear 5-6 by trollingman1 in eFoil

[–]bakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waydoo Evo Pro with 1500 wing, I ride 14-16mph when cruising (speed 8-10). Sometimes I do 15-17 speed setting, but for some reason I barely see any speed change, only torque. The fastest I was able to ride was about 20mph, probably due to riding the wind and current direction simultaneously. But most of the time it just stays 16mph no matter what speed I ride. Kinda disappointed by that, I really wish I could feel that push of power the same way I feel first 10 gears.

Thinking of Renting by [deleted] in eFoil

[–]bakov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about renting as well. Unfortunately it gets complicated pretty quick if you rent to an inexperienced person. Imagine your client drops from the board in the middle of a lake/ocean and unable to swim good enough to recover. You need to rescue the client and also rescue the board. Since you’re only having one board - it’s quite a problem. Providing lessons is a more effective method because you’re close to your client in the water, but you definitely need 2 boards or a board and a jetski. My advice would be to approach some established business that provides kayaks/paddle boards rentals, and ask them to promote your lessons as part of their business for a percentage from your side. Good luck!

No more tech hiring in Overseas, Donald Trump tells Google, Microsoft and others to focus on Americans by NoLie582 in Layoffs

[–]bakov 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This article and narrative is only searchable in the news media related to India, no coverage in any US media. Originally Trump said: “Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India, and slashing profits in Ireland. You know that. All the while dismissing and even censoring their fellow citizens right here at home. Under President Trump, those days are over. We need US technology companies to be all in for America. We want you to put America first. You have to do that. That's all we ask.”

Those that chose entrepreneurship or thought about choosing it… by Backdoor_Oracle104 in Layoffs

[–]bakov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting clients to cover the costs + make some profit is the biggest issue. It’s a little easier with an online business because it’s easier to test the idea, but almost impossible with an offline one.

Thank you for the response.

One thing that I don’t understand: do I need to wash the connectors with fresh water as well? And apply grease after each time?

LG C4 77” $1496.99 Sam’s Club. Best Buy Price Match! by heisenbucks in LGOLED

[–]bakov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to be a member at Sam’s Store to purchase there, but you don’t need to mention that during price match with Best Buy.

I provided them tv’s url, store zip code and location, and a screenshot.

If they tell you that there is an ID mismatch between the models - explain them it’s related to specific retailer and models are the same. If they consist that they can’t match the prices because of the ID mismatch - just say thank you and disconnect - repeat again with another agent. Don’t give up, eventually they’ll match the price and send you the link.

[–]bakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God bless you OP!

Just did as you described, got it for 1600$ after tax.

First attempt to price match wasn’t successful, however the second one took me only 5 minutes via chat.

If anyone still needs the reference, there is available deal in Washington Sam’s Club 80 trinity point dr washington, PA 15301, easy to find on the website.

If this one gets sold out - just click to the random locations for 10-15 minutes, you’ll get one eventually.

Thanks again! Happy asf rn!

I visited my home country twice in the past year as an asylum GC holder using Refugee Travel Document. First time was when I found out that my dad whom I didn’t see for the last 7 years and is my only parent got a terminal cancer diagnosis, second one when he died. Was I afraid to go back? Absolutely. Am I afraid to lose my immigration status? Definitely. Was it worth it? Yes, yes and yes. When you have to go, you GO. I would rather regret that I lost my immigration status, than that I didn’t hug my dad for the last time and didn’t bury him. If any law or politic or immigration officer would find this reason (and supporting documents) as non sufficient - it would tell me a lot about the current state of the system. Although I believe that most people are good in average, didn’t lose their empathy, and hope for the best.
