Whats rustling your jimmies?

That sounds like a load of shit. Basically building a time bomb in your car to force you to repair it later on. If you clear the code yourself will it just throw it out again?

Took my truck to the dealership for a check engine light. The code said it was a fault in the computer and only dealerships can reprogram the computers. Service Advisor calls me back and says it's basically a timer that has expired and threw the fault code. It's not affecting performance or anything else, it's just lighting up the light. I wouldn't even need to get it fixed if the check engine light being on wasn't an automatic fail on the annual inspection. The timer can't be reset so its $1200 to replace it. Fuck that shit, I'll try to find a used one that still has time left on the timer.

And the cherry on top, i went to pick it up and found out they left the windows down overnight and a fucking turd floater blew through. It was soaked. They spent at least 15 minutes with a shop vac trying to clean it, and when I got in my ass got soaked. Fuckers thought I wouldn't notice. Went 15 years never forgetting to roll my windows up, but 1 night at the dealership and they can't manage it. I don't even know what to do about that. I need to figure out what all it could have fucked up and keep an eye on those things.

Raise all hell and say it smells like mildew now if you want to punish them. Sunroofs on cts are bad to leak and old bitchy people use that to get them to replace carpet, headliner, etc

People who don't turn off the smooth motion on their new TV.

Brother in law has it turned on for some reason (I assume for years now). It looks especially terrible when there's any CGI.

Must be an in-law thing. My own family, I've always been the 'tech' guy so they do what I recommend and let me help calibrate their TVs and trust me to change settings.

But all my in-laws have smooth motion turned on and not only does nobody notice, they all think it's great. Latest was my grandfather in-law who doesn't even know what 4k is, but the guy at Costco said it would make the tv look extra good, so he buys the 4k TV, and of course spends 80 bucks on 3 4k compatible hdmi cables because the guy at Best Buy said it would make a big difference. Then I tried to explain things and to take off smooth motion because the TV looks terrible, but he thinks the soap opera affectis4k and insists I keep it on since he did shell out so much extra for 4k so wants to see the difference!

And now, based on the grandpa in-laws saying how darned high the definition is my father in-law is looking at also buying a new 4k TV for a boost in smoothness and to take advantage of "the 4k" too. And yes, he calls it "the 4k," And doesn't even realizing their motion judder smoother is already turned on and with their colors being so terrible on the 'dynamic' preset we watched a movie there one night and the effing thing looked like it was animated or some shit.

See also: parent in-laws have their main, straight-on TV watching couch about 20 feet from a 46 inch tv and of course my mother in-law complains the TV is just too big and unnecessary refuses to let my father in-law get anything bigger. He's really pushing her, though, because he also wants to take advantage of 'the 4k' he saw over at his father's house.

My father has some old speakers and wants to know what kind of new receiver would be best for them. I tell him "take a photo of the back so I can see the model number and any other info". He fucking sends me this.

My boss only eats at bw3s, or in worst case, the closest chain available.

the fuck is a bw3s
