Fucking cheap tire shops.

Not my own work, because I don't fuck with tires.

Last week, the wife took it upon herself to get tires at some discount place. She was about 30 minutes from home and saw a tire sale advertised. So she whipped in and bought these cheap Chinese tires.

FML, I love my wife, but some days.

The kicker is, they didn't even balance them. I whipped into my go-to shop for tires to get them balanced. They went to take the left front off, and the lug nuts didn't even budge. So my man Tim grabs his long breaker bar, standing on it just made it bow.

He grabbed the 1-inch gun. 3 of the 6 snapped off, the big gun hit 8 or 9 times before spinning the others off.

Seriously? Like, WTF.

EDIT: For those of you making wild ass asumptions.

I just finished rebuilding the front end. I had made the comment that in the next 2 or 3 weeks, I needed to get tires on it. They were far from bald, but I do new tires every 2 years, whether they need it or not. I'm in Georgia from mid september to the 1st of April every year to guide and train dogs. I don't need to be worrying about shit breaking

My wife is one of those people who, if you tell her something needs to be done, if she has an opportunity, she will take it upon herself to do it.

Luckily, I had a new wheel bearing for that side I had just picked up, and he went ahead and tossed it on.

And yes, I ordered the tires I wanted. They will be in on Tuesday. And Tim is going to replace all the studs and nuts while we are at it, because I have no faith in what the other shop did.

The good, on-demand content is back up

The bad, Ublock Origin no longer works. And the next episode button pops way too early and skips to the next episode before the current one finishes

Weird permission problem on Linux Mint

I have an external drive set at /media/robert/Expansion1

IF I manually download a torrent, I can download it to any folder I want on this partition. If I use the RSS reader to download a torrent automatically, it fails with permission denied.

Permissions are set as follows

drwxr-xr-x 2 robert robert 262144 Oct 17 2025 '$RECYCLE.BIN'
drwxr-xr-x 26 robert robert 262144 May 12 05:55 1Movies
drwxr-xr-x 17 robert robert 262144 May 10 22:18 1Pictures
drwxr-xr-x 12 robert robert 262144 May 12 06:42 1TV

Linux version

Distributor ID: Linuxmint
Description: Linux Mint 22.2
Release: 22.2
Codename: zara

Posting to r/qBittorrent also, since I'm not sure if it's a Linux or qbittorent problem

Keep in mind, I know just enough to be dangerous.

I thought sudo chmod 777 /media/robert/Expansion1 would change permissions to let everyone have full access, but it didn't, or did I misread something?
