  • I know 3 guys with older BMWs who want to know what sizes they can order them in so they can use them as engine bay dress up bolts.

  • Does dryers actually damage clothes?

  • I've always had the argument about baby/toddler clothes.

    We dont buy expensive stuff, they get absolutely trashed by food, dirt, poop, paint, markers... but she still insists on air drying because the label says so. We're due to have our second in a bit over a month so I imagine this is going to become a topic again.

  • Ah, customer service

    Jump

  • In their defence its also a lot easier for me because I'm not in a call center, my calls arent recorded and I dont have scripts or churn times to adhere to. Customer service in a call center must absolutely be someones definition of hell.

    I've point blank said to customers things like "Look, I appreciate that you're upset. Please believe me that I am upset too, because I have to go ask that idiot why he did what he did, document the conversation and I guarantee you the answer wont be a clever one" and "This is definitely our fuckup, not that I should use language like that with customers but 'mistake' just doesnt cut it"

  • Excellent description

  • Theres a documentary that will at least shed some light on the psychology of it for you called "Ice Guardians" its genuinely interesting.

    But to put it very simply the refs cant see everything and its easy to make an attack thats outside of the rules look like an accident. If "A" team has a little guy who is exceptionally skilled the "B" team has literally no reason to not play dirty and attempt to injure him out of the game. Especially with the speeds the players are moving a "get him out of the game" hit could become a permanent life changing injury. So you put your enforcer on the ice and he will have a word "If you guys try and take him out again, I will punch the fuck out of the guy who does it in front of all these people, You have been warned" pretty simply, Hockey players police themselves and its unlikely that an on ice fight will lead to long term injury but the fans will see that beatdown and they know why. Keep it clean, keep it about the hockey or we can make it about the other thing.

    Its a lot less prevalent than it used to be, which is probably a good thing. Its also a lot less necessary with all the modern high def cameras on a NHL game. But sometimes someone needs a message delivered in a very tactile fashion immediately not 6 weeks after the game after a tribunal has reviewed the footage and your lead goal scorer is still recovering from a severe concussion and may never play again.

  • See thats the distinction that I'm curious about.

    When articles say "Do not tumble dry" I wonder "Are we concerned about the heat from an old fashioned rotating oven or the mechanical stress on the fabric?" because I have a fancy pants heat pump dryer and my wife still insists it will somehow ruin the clothes.

  • Ive lost count of the people who have a gut that hangs over their belt who have told me my breakfast of sugarfree energy drinks will kill me... Yeah ok mate, my lunch is greek yoghurt and fruit, preworkout is a ham and egg bagel and my dinner is lean protein and vegetables. I have abs, you have pre-diabetes, but yeah sure the chemicals.

    Same reason I get shitty over the "Processed" food discussion. Chocolate fudge brownies arent a health food just because you use real butter, unbleached flour, free range eggs and raw sugar when you make them.

  • Ah, customer service

    Jump

  • Customers are always pissed the first time you speak with them. When I have to call them I do a quick first call and let them know its immediately being worked on, ask them if theres any other information that might be helpful and Ill get back to them when I know something, they are ALWAYS better to deal with on the second call.

    I do this because I can always get off the first call with "Respectfully, I'm not customer service. I'm the guy who fixes the problems and the longer I'm on this call is time I'm not fixing your problem. Now I need to go and I'll call you as soon as I have a resolution"

    People just want to be taken seriously.

  • How accurate is this?

    Jump

  • You have way more chances to get back at shitty customers doing food service.

    Get a cunty customer and you just smile a little too large, be a little too eager to fix their issue and let your eyes glint just a little. Then fix their issue exactly what they asked for with nothing wrong with it and untampered with. When you return to the table put a little too much emphasis on "Enjoy" when you give it to them.

    They will spend the entire meal trying to figure out what you did or call the manager over and make a big scene about how you did something but cant point out what. Ruin my night, I'll ruin yours.

  • Can anyone explain why?

  • Now this is a half remembered anecdote so... pinch of salt.

    But I do remeber something about some people having negative reactions to the tannins in red wine. So it might not so much be the alcohol.

    I want you to be happy with what you see in the mirror too. I just want to see a ridiculously buff brick shithouse in mine.

  • My wife came out as gay last night

    Jump

  • Look its horribly crude and potentially not the joke you need right now.

    But once you get over the hurt feelings and process it if you guys are still on great terms ask her if she wants to go cruising for some pussy. I cant imagine a better wingman. "Oh my god you should meet my ex husband, he's over there" most people will at least want to know why your out drinking with your ex and why she is trying to get you numbers.

  • Oh agreed, just pointing out that when you throw around the idea of outright bans of course the people who are passionate will hate it, dig their heels in and call bullshit.

    Governments need to leave the door open for the small number of petrolheads who are prepared to pay a premium to continue doing what they LOVE and use that premium to make EVs more practical and affordable for the vast majority of people who "Just need something to get me from A to B" to the point where even the diehards will say "It just doesnt make sense to drive this thing every day, Ill get an EV for a daily driver"

  • So fucking much this.

    I think the world needs a version of the Japanese Kei car rules. You build a pure EV with a range of at least X, a maximum power of Y with a small footprint and we will make them intensely cheap to tax and insure. The market will sort itself out.

  • Except speaking as a petrolhead... the germans are historically really fucking good at it.

    I dont think that in the history of the automobile if you were to ask "What was the best car of the year" that it wouldnt be a german dominated list every year. Yes the Japanese would occasionally sit them on their ass and the Americans and Italians might get one or two. But building world class cars has been a big part of the german identity globally for the past hundred years.

  • No offence intended but Duh. People who are passionate about something dont want it banned. I'm one of those people and yes we will push back because we all know most of the worlds polution is caused by big buisness and industry. When people talk about banning ALL combustion engines it reads to me like "recycling will save the environment"

    Most of the worlds driving population doesnt give a fuck about driving enjoyment or feel any real passion for driving or cars. The enthusiasts and enthusiast cars arent the lions share of the problem. If the electric grocery getters were significantly cheaper the vast majority of people will adopt them. Id gladly only take my petrol engine out for special occasions if I could also afford an EV to get stuck in traffic in.
