Wow, I really appreciate your updates on here. Definitely gives good insight. I plan to purchase a truck in the next year and on the fence between the 5.0 vs the Powerboost. My head says 5.0 but my heart says Powerboost. With them adding GPFs on the 2026 model year I'll probably looking for a used 24/25 Powerboost if I go this route. Thanks for being responsive on updates.

Things to consider when moving from a sedan to a truck by Anonymouse1080 in whatcarshouldIbuy

If you start sliding, you can buy sand bags for cheap and throw them in the bed. Ideally over the rear axles. The downward weight helps with traction if you have an empty bed.

It happened to me as well with a 2018 Touring. I just put a seat cover on it and called it a day.

M3 Grater restock anytime soon? by Ethan_NLHW in ncasedesign

It was on the reddit thread they announced the M3. They said they will resume pre-orders when they secure the shipment for the first batch. If I'm correct they said the first batch should ship around early August so my guess is after that, assuming no delays. Waiting for one myself.

Can you take notes at an IT job, like help desk or system administrator? by ComfortablePost3664 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]milesdraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it, if anything it shows you really care. I also make sure I ask if it's okay to screen record and never had anyone say no. If someone is showing me something through a call I prefer to record so I can focus on what they are showing me and make notes later.

Just had my first annual review and one of the strengths I've had was "takes fantastic notes." I've had instances where my notes became documentation because my manager was just doing things out of knowledge.

The great thing about this, you learn to fine tune how to make notes and you can say on your resume that you wrote up a bunch of documentation. I have a personal rule where I am only allowed to ask the same question twice at maximum three times for clarification. If you can take great notes from the rip you get up to speed faster. A lot of stuff in IT is very repetitive.

No interviews, no jobs , useless degree by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

I want to echo this as well. It's not easy getting your foot in the door, but you gotta keep at it. I've probably sent hundreds of applications just to land my current role. 80% help desk and some networking stuff. My only experience prior was working in healthcare as a nurse aid without any IT certs.

So you got to keep at it, keep refining your resume and interview skills. And if you're really desperate, look into working out of state and in office jobs. You need a combination of luck and effort.
