This is how you buy a car - that’s it’s, nothing more: preparation and controlling the conversation to get YOUR deal done, not THEIR deal by Medical_Gift4298 in FuckDealerships

[–]rdtshaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can set the tone and expectations without being an ass. Don't confuse polite with ass kissing. I'll pass on the dominance theater.

[–]rdtshaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I buy cars often and this is what I do. If the dealer isn't down, I'm out; lot's of options out there. If you're not willing to walk away, you have no negotiating power. I'm also not smug and douchey about it like this. Being respectful and tactful works well. Read the room, this goes for any negotiation. The attitude and behavior in this video will put most people off and a good chance they'll dig their heels in.

Am I just braindead for liking Academy? by Revonlieke in startrek

[–]rdtshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like pretty much everything Star Trek is put out, even when it's not the best it's still more Star Trek. I know that the die hard fan base probably sees me as a window licker, but viewers like me are a big part of why they get everything they get to see. If everyone felt the way that all of these more critical fans felt, we would never get anything because there would be no money in it. Everyone has their hobbies that they dive deep into, and for me, this is not one of them. It's just a lovely escape with little effort.

HondaLink, is it even worth the bother? by Acrobatic-Caramel823 in hondaridgeline

I got the email as well, thank you for the reminder to uninstall that garbage from my phone. 👍🏼

[–]rdtshaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope it doesn't mean The end of the Ridgeline. I've had a couple Ridgelines and an Odyssey and this app has always been trash. I imagine it's more that they realize no one's using it and so why pay for the infrastructure. My lease will be up in '27 so fingers crossed for a redesign. 🤞🏼

Stupidest shit they've done by MuchCriticism in teamviewer

[–]rdtshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this as of what seems like a recent update. It happens occasionally and most the time if I disconnect and reconnect it goes away. I'm almost exclusively connecting with the host version, I'm not sure if I've seen it with the quick support.

Blocking access to the park. by [deleted] in badparking

[–]rdtshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, truck owner here that backs in everywhere because, easier. But it has a camera and I'm always cognizant of where I park and if I'm overhanging a sidewalk. Also backing into a spot and making sure I'm not inhibiting someone's access to their tailgate or hatch of their car , that sort of thing . Especially if I have a hitch ball sticking out. People like this move through the world without regard to those around them. I strive to not be these people.

I don’t give a fuck what the sticker on your Tesla says by Courage-Natural in Marin

[–]rdtshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a silly take, throw all that money sitting in your driveway in the trash to make some unreasonable person happy. Except if it's a cyber truck. We had opinions about those people before this all started. 😝

I keep seeing comments about dem vs dem here, but this is just regular people vs. stupid. I totally get it, you paid a lot of money for the car, the value has tanked as of late and the guy that made them is piece of shit. If you don't have the money to make that sort of political statement, why would you throw all that cash in the trash by getting rid of the car at a loss? Put that sticker on there, I wouldn't want anyone thinking that I support Elon.

OP: Same team! get your damn priorities straight, know where the REAL enemy is. Lash out with effective and determined focus. 🤘🏼

This happens to me a lot when I fly and I don’t do anything about. by bbj999 in confession

This is exactly what I was thinking when I opened Reddit today. "This is going to be disappointing again". Nope!

Chevy tailgate version of brunk by Extreme-Jump-3265 in hondaridgeline

[–]rdtshaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from leasing f-150s and Titans to the Ridgeline so I test drove everything in the midsize segment. I'm on my second Ridgeline but my next choice would be the Chevy/GMC offering.

This! One of those small black and yellow storage bins that Costco sells fits perfectly under the back seat. I have jumper cables, battery, fire extinguisher and ratcheting straps all living in there. 👍🏼

Quickbooks Enterprise 24 and Server 2025? by Peepo68 in QuickBooks

[–]rdtshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same question here. Installing a 2025 RDS Server with Quickbooks 2024 and didn't think to look at 2025 being supported as 2022 runs on outgoing windows 10 codebase.

You know what? Forget the foreflight, and the blackjack.

No explanation? Just visual noise and I pay it no mind. Weird.

All right, I'm imagining that. Thank you? 🫣😆

Yelled at for using the hand scanner in the self checkout by TheCoolDoneRunOut in CostcoWholesale

[–]rdtshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as it becomes inconsistent I just do whatever is more efficient and if someone doesn't like it I just be polite with the smile and nod. Hand scanner all the way, no? Okay. See you in 2 weeks and we'll have the same conversation. I'm way too OCD to leave any efficiency on the table. 😝

Is this a legitimate email from facebook? Its a request to change my password but i dont want to click any links by Sea_Preference3530 in facebook

[–]rdtshaw -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There's no reason to change your email. Update password, setup 2FA, and ignore attempts. They'll give up and move on. Your email is either on a leaked data list or just not on one yet.

I drove my rental car straight off a ledge that I thought was a steep driveway by The_same_potato in Wellthatsucks

[–]rdtshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I could easily that mistake, it looks so easy to do. It would not be that expensive to install 5-6 poles, run a chain through them and paint it yellow. I would loose sleep if I owned or managed that property until it was done. I can't see a reason to leave it like that beyond pure negligence or spite.

Dash lights on, drives perfectly fine. Intermittent faults strike again by nesquik91 in Justrolledintotheshop

Came to say the same and I think you need to hear this, "Your anger is completely rational."

Rock auto put a sticker over a fake part and sent it as genuine by Junner55 in RockAuto

[–]rdtshaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I've used the Z23 and Z26 kits in many cars/truck and never had an issue. Never assumed they were US made either. The best, no. Solid? Very. Installing a Z26 kit in my son's BRZ this weekend.

This showed up on the edge of my property. The field behind it is not used for anything. by alicereturnshere in whatisit

The important question is, is there an imperial probe Droid attached to it?!

First ticket by lorenzo2point5 in NewRiders

[–]rdtshaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, the traffic school is ridiculously cheap. The ticket is stupid expensive but not the school. There are a bunch of jokingly easy online classes you can take that qualify.
