Don’t let any contractors into your house until you’ve lived there for at least a few months, and learn how to recognize high pressure sales pitches from them. They’ll take advantage of you if you don’t. Always get more than one quote. If you’re as much as tell them you’re getting multiple quotes, they’ll start lowering their prices pretty dramatically.

Examples of high pressure sales tactics:

They’ll insist that your spouse be home during the demonstration. That’s red flag number one.

They’ll go to get something from their car, and Ithey’ll ask if it’s okay for them to let themselves back in. Most homeowners don’t think anything of this, but this is actually a psychological trick. The idea is that you wouldn’t allow someone to let themselves into your house unless you trusted them, and if you trust them, you’re much more likely to do business with them.

They’ll spend 3 hours talking about how great whatever it is they’re selling is, and it will start to feel like the only way to get these people out of your house is to sign a dotted line.

They’ll do whatever they can to stop you from talking to other companies. That’s why they’ll start lowering their prices as soon as you mention that you’re getting multiple quotes.

Generation Why by Zhu. I don’t really care for most of Zhu’s music, but this album I really enjoy. It’s similar in style to 808s and heartbreak.

Since I left you is one of my favorite music videos. It’s quite wholesome.

Lemmy is full of people that I would never want to hang out with IRL. Even if I agree with most of what they’re saying, they manage to say it in the most neckbeardy way possible.

These comments are proof that The Onion peaked like 15 years ago. They just haven’t been as funny since then.

Void is by far the fastest booting distro I’ve ever used. I like how it allows you to load the boot USB into RAM and I wish every distro did that.

Real call of duty hacks free

The thing is, Apple phones do support these things, but only if they change the default messenger app, and most Apple users won’t do that. IPhone users are worse than Windows users when It comes to changing their default apps.

I remember when metalheads would not shut the fuck up about Justin Bieber back in the 2010s. They were obsessed with hating him.

People need to start embracing electric mowers and trimmers. They’re way quieter and easier to maintain. My Ego mower is still going strong after five years on the same battery.

LLMs need to get better at saying “I don’t know.” I would rather an LLM admit that it doesn’t know the answer instead of making up a bunch of bullshit and trying to convince me that it knows what it’s talking about.

Sponsorblock for YouTube. It automatically skips over parts of videos where they try to get you to play Raid Shadow Legends.
