I remember one time I had to dress up for an interview. I was trying to wear a tie and I forgot how to make one, I had a :ohhh: moment and just hit up YouTube to find out how.

when it comes to electronics, i am not afraid to tinker and fix shyt on my own. but when it came to cars, i never even bothered. idk, im not a car person and i hate driving, but something was telling me to stop giving these fools money by changing my oil when i can do all that shyt on my own.

so last year, i went out and bought me a jack, some tools, oil pan, oil and a oil filter and i did that shyt within an hour. i didn't stop there, i learned to change my air filter, maintained my brake fluid and coolant levels and my car has been flawless:blessed:. last week one of my headlights went out, so i ordered new bulbs for my low beam, high beam and fog lights. i figure if you change one, might as well change em all. spent an hour this morning changing all 6 lights and now its brighter than a motherfukker.

all of this is due to the internet and how its so easy find solutions. it may not be significant to y'all but it was a great accomplishment for me:wow:. idk but im excited to change my brakes in the summer :lolbron:
exactly how I am with my ca...you should see this thread from TLR :smuggyralph:

youtube is a great tool cause you can actually see someone do something. some times instruction manuals and such can be kinda confusing

About a month and a half ago, my 1440p monitor stopped working after a night of gaming :sadcam:. The monitor power LED came on, but no image came up. Did all the basic troubleshooting - different video cables, tried on a different PC - nothing was working. And it was out of warranty :snoop:

Started researching online, came to find out that blown capacitors are often the reason why monitors go out. Opened the monitor, found a capacitor that looked bad. Ordered a soldering kit and new capacitors, watched some youtube videos, and I fixed my monitor. Back to glorious 1440p :blessed:
