I don't have anything against off-shore call centers, but it seems lately the one eBay uses, the employees have such limited English proficiency it turns a 5 minute call into 30+ minutes.

So my car has 100,000 miles. It still rides fine, but one of the strut mounts on the front started groaning when turning.

Took the strut apart, the rod presses in and doesn't come back up unless you lift it up, which is considered failed.

This happened to me on another car, and again it rode fine. Didn't keep bouncing after hitting a small bump.

Do the coil springs do most of the work on a front wheel drive car now?

Car parts have gotten goofy in prices.

I can get Monroe Quick-Struts for $89 each+shipping.

To replace the bellows, mount/bearing and a normal KYB strut using stock springs would be $170 each plus shipping.

There is also FCS and Top Notch brands.

Getting real sick of these assholes who think buying something entitles them to demand faster shipping after the fact and I have to obey simply because they bought it. Probably 7-8 times so far this year.

>!He's been pretty much lobotomized. There's been zero explanation to his niceness this season.!<

>! He cannot seem to fight whatsoever. He must be partially deaf because he never hears any of the henchmen approaching. The one time they broke in through the glass, he didn't grab a knife or anything. He has been alone in that house, but doesn't want to sell it for whatever reason.!<

>!The planning and zoning thing makes no sense. The flowers didn't look to take up that big of area, so surely he could have worked something in to build something around the flowers, like an iron fence or some such. I've seen developments work around super old trees, historic homes, etc.!<

Filed return back in March. Had a lapse in funds and been trying to set up a payment plan, every couple weeks when I sign in, it still has not computed a balance.

What gives? I owe around $2k.

Let's say 3 candidates are running in a race, and one is not polling well, despite being a well liked candidate. But this is ALL the media talks about.

This might make people feel like they are "throwing their vote away" and vote for someone who actually has a better chance of winning, despite not being their preferred candidate.

Personally I think it's silly how they talk about "candidates polling" when it's just a survey and not actual vote counts.

I wonder if there should be a law that disallows the media to make it sound like they are already doomed from the get-go until after the votes are already counted?

The entire thing seems to allow bias that could have an effect on the vote itself.

They have 3 sections of self check. Even when it's very busy during the day, they might only have one open, and usually 2-3 registers in that section aren't working.

Team Lead: "We don't have enough people to run them".

Me: "So why do you have 7 manned lanes open then? Look how the self check line is so long its literally spilling across into clothing, shut down 2 and use those to run another section"

Team Lead: "Uh....*crickets*".

It makes no sense they "never have enough people" but then will have plenty of manned lanes open they could shut down a couple to open 8 or more self checkout registers which would balance things out.

It's almost like they have a massive SCO theft problem and can't ever open that many.

I'll start.

1. People having family reunions in the main entryway or aisles.

2. Couples / families walking side-by-side down an aisle, blocking the entire aisle.

3. When people stand to the side of the aisle to look at something clear across the aisle.

4. This one never made sense to me. They will have things on a table like baked goods, and have 3 products, some $4.88, some $6.88 and some $11.88, but their "policy" is to put the larger price sign with the highest price, so they throw away shit because most people will assume EVERYTHING is $11.88. Fucking make "$11.88 and under" or only put liked priced items on the same table/riser.

5. Random ID Checks. Recently switched to liquid melatonin. It requires an ID to purchase. Next to the melatonin gummies, which don't require an ID.

6. How many people miss the "card payments only" sign on the self checkout AND the red border and text that says it on the screen, just to bellyache that it don't take cash.

7. Similarly...people who go through self-checkout then bitch they don't know how to use it. Go to a fucking LANE then.

Elon acts weird, we all know that. He supposedly was diagnosed with ASD.

A lot of us on the spectrum at quirky/silly, but know how to act "normal" around people we have never met, serious social functions (like meeting world leaders), this is called "masking".

I am wondering if perhaps his way of acting stems from the drug abuse, or the drug abuse has ruined his ability to "mask" or perhaps both?

Grok has engaged in conduct that may constitute unfair or deceptive business practices under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as well as potential violations of the European Union Digital Content and Digital Services Directive and comparable consumer protection laws in other jurisdictions. Specifically, the company has materially altered the functionality and delivery of its subscription software through progressively restrictive moderation policies and increasingly severe rate limitations, without prior notice, disclosure, email communication, in-application notification, or meaningful opportunity for subscriber consent or cancellation.

This has broken consumers trust in continued utilization, as not a single person living on Earth wants things continuously taken away that they pay for, without so much as a single warning. May this be a lesson if human eyes ever read this, on how not to run a company.
