re: Ugggghh shopping for a car. Start today.

I think buyers are at fault for overcomplicating it just as much as the sellers.
Be prepared. Have a downpayment or a trade. Know what you want and find the vehicle online. Do all negotiating over the phone or even better email so it's in writing. Get preapproved for financing through your bank or lowest rate you can find. Make sure the person you negotiated the sale with is available in-person and drive to dealership and buy the car. A common sales tactic is to then stick a different salesperson to you so they can pretend they know nothing of previous negotiation once they have you in-person. Talk to your original salesperson or no one at all. Do you really need to test drive 8 different vehicles? If something is wrong with it off the lot they will take care of it anyways. Say no to anything and everything they try to add on. They will then try to get you to finance through them. Give them the chance to beat the rate you were pre-approved for--a lot of the time they will even if it's lower than they are publicly offering.
Good luck.

Alls I'm saying is they all require getting into the car. The realistic ones at least.

It's like 95% preventative. If you don't want to prevent bad things from happening to your teeth in the future, sure don't go.
Ask someone who has had these bad things happen to them and decide if it's worth it to you.

No. I was saying “you’re going on a tangent about PC gaming/OS issues when the OP’s “problem” is clearly user error on their part, which makes the former not particularly relevant.”
Oh my bad you responded directly to me and what I said with "this seems like 100% user error."
Don't reset the OS then apparently.

Except that, if you read the thread, “bloat” isn’t the issue. They have significant available drive space they aren’t using due to user error. Or are you interpreting OP’s problem differently than I am?
We're you not referring to me when you said 100% user error? IF not, then my bad. If so, then why are we back on OP and making passive aggressive remarks like "if you read the thread"?

Yea, outside maybe some initial setup issues getting everything to where it is going to the opitmal place and maybe a gpu driver update issue from time to time, there shouldn't be many constant issues to troubleshoot
Issues that I've had in the last few months:
-Bought an Obsbot Tiny 3 for my son, which come to find out half of the features are not compatible with any AMD GPUs (Last week's update actually fixed this)
-Randomly like once a week it takes my PC like 10 minutes to boot (still haven't figured this one out)
-AMD Adrenaline doing some weird shite where I get stuck in an update failed loop and have to do a hard reset and reinstall to factory settings
Y'all like using the :lol: emote huh

This sounds like 100% user error
Pretty much a fact for every PC user in the world that your system will accumulate bloat over the years (and a lot of it causes performance issues) unless you do something about it. So yeah, user error--sure.
The downside of PC gaming. Constant issues and troubleshooting. I reset my OS every 6 months or so to somewhat combat this. Pretty effective, really. Sometimes you just need a fresh plate.
I just finished last week—95 hours. Absurd.

I don't think real wood floors are meant to be blemish-free. Just my opinion.
We have an old house build in the 30's with the original wood floors--they are scratched to shite and absolutely beautiful.

re: Wish to buy new boat for our son in law.
Posted by Dicky on 5/14/26 at 11:00 am to Everyday Is Saturday
An Xpress is a great boat, but I'd consider it somewhat budget. Boats in general are just crazy expensive.
I had to sell my last boat through divorce, but will be replacing it within the next few years and will have my eyes on a Blazer Bay center console (multiple models I like) in the $60K range. It will have to be a few years used of course, since new ones are now $90k.
Also from everything you've said there is a non zero chance that you are my FIL and now I'm kinda hoping for a new blazer bay to pop up in my drive :lol:

I hate to say it but trying to put myself in you SIL's shoes as best I can--I think I would probably be a little disappointed if this happened to me. I would be over the moon about the thoughtfulness and kindness of this action, but it almost certainly would not be the boat that I want and would feel compelled to keep it for a long time and not sell it for what I really wanted.
That being said, your safest bet would be a smaller bay style boat unless you know for sure he is into bass boats or something. A used Xpress H20 or similar in the 2020 year model range should get you within budget for a pretty decent rig.

Isn't he basically just saying he prioritizes American lives more than he prioritizes American economy?
