How convenient.

In other words, you acknowledge character statements are not always correct. Congratulations, you defeated your own argument.

Goku: “We did it! This way, we might be able to manage something.”

You're welcome to that misinterpretation.

JoinTheBattle

Yeah... have fun with whatever that is.

Did you just type out an emoji? 💀

Whether it needed explained or not, you both sound like twats and have sucked the fun out of the conversation.

If you have to say you're not an incel, you're an incel.

Agreed. This was solely a commentary on his play and was posted before he got hurt. To be clear, I would never celebrate any player suffering a concussion. My brother has had several, I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

I can't speak to selling cars, but if it's similar to the sales jobs I worked, it's not that the training was bad—many places would even bring in product reps to do hands-on training for some products. It's just that the training was focused far more on the flashy new features that help sell products.

Not only that, but people vastly overestimate how much most salespeople actually know. In any consumer sales job—be it cars, electronics, appliances, whatever—there's usually a handful of salespeople at any given location who actually know what they're talking about. The rest only know what their company teaches them, and they treat that "knowledge" as gospel. Surprise, surprise, it isn't always in alignment with reality or the best interest of their customers.

Plenty are aware they're full of shit, don't get me wrong, but plenty more think they're giving good advice and are too ignorant, too egotistical, or too drunk on the company Kool-Aid to know better. At the end of the day, the vast majority of customers don't know enough to see through the BS; you don't necessarily have to be knowledgeable to work in sales, just personable.

If you think MJ is better than LeBron, that's a perfectly valid take. But let's real, saying playing 24 years at the highest level isn't impressive just makes you sound ridiculous.

JoinTheBattle

And you think they do that without MVP runner-up LeBron James? Just asking.

Not a single one of your arguments is correct or argued in good faith.

I test drove a Mach-E. Loved it except the fact it was simply too small. Got an Acura ZDX instead and it's a great car... but Honda pulled the plug on the GM partnership and getting them to service it is a pain in the ass.

It's exactly what they said; we were headed in the right direction until this Idiocracy killed incentives and caused manufacturers to scrap their plans. This administration set us back possibly a decade or more (and counting.)

Because things wear out from use.

If you mean why do things always seem to break just past the warranty period, which I would argue doesn't apply here, that's cognitive biases (negativity, reverse survivorship, and confirmation) at work.

Think about it like this: Our brains are wired to remember unexpected outcomes and weigh negative outcomes more heavily (negativity bias).

The vast majority of products last well past their warranty periods, but we tend not to remember those examples because that's the expectation (reverse survivorship bias). Expected outcome = not memorable.

Of the products that do fail within their warranty periods, most are either the result of negligence, which is not the fault of the product, or defective, meaning they are usually covered under the warranty. No negative outcome = not memorable.

The examples that stick in our brains are the ones that don't meet our expectations and result in a negative outcome, creating the perception that things break as soon as their warranties expire. While the disposable nature of tech products does lend some truth to this perception, and there are reasons (cost, personal connection) tech failures stick out especially strongly in our minds, we tend to remember the examples that support our perceptions more than the examples that don't (confirmation bias). This causes us to think the problem is a lot worse than it actually is.

TL;DR: It's (mostly) in your head.

They could if something causes them to short. Such as moisture, which would explain the overheating.

A new headset, a new charger (you can find replacement docks on eBay for fairly cheap), or new batteries are about all you can try atp.

That's awesome. He doesn't get nearly enough credit for the work he does for the community.

JoinTheBattle

Two new batteries, or the same two you've been using for the past two years?

JoinTheBattle

But have you tried a new battery?

GadgetryTech has a video where he shares his EQ for the standard and FreeZe pads, he might have one for the Stealth pads as well.
