The last time I went to an oil change place, I wanted it done because I was leaving town the next day. I usually have my regular mechanic (who is excellent and honest; a rare breed) do it, or I do it myself.
The ten minute oil change took an hour and change. They tried to upsell me on a bunch of bullshit and gave me stink eye when I politely told them I just need a conventional oil change, thanks.
They overfilled it by about .75 of a quart. I had to take care of that myself before the aforementioned road trip. The car only holds about four quarts in total.
They charged twice as much as my mechanic who knows what he’s doing and gives a shit. Never again.

Absolutely, and thanks for asking. Also, congrats! I’d recommend looking at credit unions (US/Canada) and higher ed. Both are non-profits and good stepping stones. Either can be a career if you don’t want a ‘stepping stone.’ Depending on how altruistic you want to be, you can find either that serve underserved communities. CUs pay better, but are more corporate and demanding. Higher ed doesn’t pay as well, but is more layed back if you can ignore politics, which there is a ridiculous amount of. I worked at HBCU (US) for a long time, and it was pretty great. Depending on where you are, it’s usually pretty easy to find an open spot at either.

Mom took him to a big office building parking lot on a Sunday when it was quiet. At least that’s how this classically trained driver learned.

Me too, 2010ish though. I wish I could figure out how to boycott AWS. As an aged developer with a little bit of influence, I’ve steered plenty of clients, employers, peers, and juniors away, but I still use the internet. There’s no detaching from that.

Those brands are at the bottom of every dependability list. You’d think they’d focus on building a better product so they could compete on something other than feels.

You can with Android.
Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Private DNS > Private DNS Hostname.
You will need the hostname though instead of just the IP address. - Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 10 months ago:

I like Deezer. I’ve been using it and telling people about it since Spotify was insistent about being focused on chasing a politically charged content (over) investment than delivering quality, behavior driven content based on their algo.
Deezer is represented globally, but the subscriber count is less than I would have expected. This is about a year old:
