    Been ordering pc parts from Newegg’s for over a decade.

    I figured they were trying to compete and/or get bought out by Amazon lol

    Canadian retailer NCIX went bankrupt, so newegg.ca is getting all their old customer base. I don't think they will ever beat Amazon.

    I had to create a short film for a film class I take, so I used one of my truck's as the subject. Here is the most dramatic and cinematic oil change you'll ever watch.

    I found the counterpoint of soft, peaceful music juxtaposed to your violent, jabbing gestures a poignant statement of the conflict and irony we all face daily in modern life.








































































    And you forgot to put the drain plug in before filling the oil, and then you gunned it cold. WTF noob.

    No way they could actually challenge Amazon.

    I thought maybe if they boosted their sales enough amazon would buy them out for a large sum. Of course I have no idea what I’m talking about lol

    Did laugh when I saw some gun parts a few months ago on Newegg lol

    Beautifully said.

    I totally did put the drain plug in, but the footage I got of that was horrendous. I will admit I forgot to put on a new crush washer.

    same here bro. I tried for many years to get on. Taking time off of work to go test at all sorts of agencies. only to be DQ'd and usually not told why. I remember the last time I tested for CHP. I forgot a window tint ticket and she reamed me over the phone and called me a liar. In the nicest way possible I told her, why would I lie about a window tint ticket when I listed worse things on the PHQ. I would have loved to be a cop, but with my back issues right now, I'm glad I didn't.

    Went from 3rd Gen Taco to 3GT4R to 2nd Gen Taco and finally a V8 4GT4R.
    Just yesterday I got reamed for not disclosing 2-3 agencies I had applied to 5 years ago. Never got passed the application process with those places and honestly did not remember I ever even applied to them but yeah man they purposely try to make you feel like shit. I recently got this job because all the agencies are taking their sweet ass time getting back to people. I might withdraw from the process bc I make just as much now working a 9-5 with a commute thats been the shortest I have ever had in my life. Weekends/holidays off. I would have loved to have a job that is different on a day to day basis but I have to watch out for my own health - physically, mentally, and emotionally and the health of my family and loved ones.

    Took tail light apart and picked up the pieces.
    The good thing is that the only damage was to the lens cover, the housing and bulb are undamaged.
    Lens cover comes out ez so gonna save money by not having to buy the entire tail light assembly

    I feel it. I had two packages from the same company. One showed up today. The other is in sparks for Monday. It makes zero sense. They were shipped together and hit every stop together until Utah. Some lazy shit probably didn’t wanna lug it to the truck.
