he wouldn't survive as a Mennonite (given that he obviously likes music, or at least headphones), there's a fair sized Mennonite community in my hometown and i'd say they're somewhere close to the halfway point on a spectrum of Normal People ----------- Amish

my dad owns a car service center and i worked there through high school and we saw quite a few of their cars. they don't listen to the radio or watch tv, in fact they go so far as to remove the radios from their cars. a few of them have it professionally done, but the majority of them literally had wires coming out of the dash. i put a test light to them and yes, the positive wires were usually still hot.

on 2nd thought, i could see Justin driving a car with random wires protruding from the dash, so maybe he could be a Mennonite

My humble apologies Justin. I had just finished talking to one of our employees named Jason when I responded to this thread. My bad.

Justin's been ripping people off on Amazon.

No Paypal contribution for you, Justin. And beware the wrath of the Mennonites.

And if anyone was wondering just why Justin had problems finding a job...

yeah that guy with teh sound card took my money back that he paid with and kept the sound card. the card worked fine, and it wasn't a paperclip, it was solder. i didn't do the soldering job but it wasn't a magnet either, that was the power supply soldered to the sound card. it took like 2 weeks to break the card into my computer before it would work all the time. i told him to just be patient that it would work, but he filed a claim and got his money back and kept the card. so now he has his money back and a free sound card that's worth like 100 dollars. amazon has good products and customer service, but selling on there is a nightmare, don't ever do it.

Hold on, you admit that the card didn't work at first, but you told him just wait it out and eventually it will begin to work?

Justin, that makes absolutely no sense

Justin,

Now I think you're trying to yank my hog. I've seen paperclips, and I've seen solder, and the two look nothing alike. If it was a crappy solder job, I think the guy would have used a different euphemism than 'paperclip' to describe said crappy solder job. Unless, you substituted a paperclip for solder wire and really dorked that sound card up when you hit it with the soldering iron. Given some of your other mechanical adventures, I'm thinking that might have been the case. I guess zip ties don't have a high enough melting point...

It is only a nightmare if you are not an honest seller. From the looks of it, you are not an honest seller.

the sound card was modded when i bought it from head-fi.org. i sold it then because i parted out my pc. the card took me 2 weeks to get it working fully. at first it wouldn't play sound just like teh guy emailed me about it. i said it did the exact same thing for me, but after like 2 weeks it just went away. that is why i told him please be patient and if it doesn't work then, i will give you a refund and you can send it back to me. well the guy filed a claim the next day and got his money back. he wasn't obligated to send me back the fully working card either. the card was fully working when i sent it. i told him i had the exact same problem and told him to be patient. but then he gets to keep the card, plus his money. makes no sense to me. and it wasn't a paperclip, it was solder. like i said, i didn't do the soldering job, it was modded when i bought it.

Since when did sound cards start coming with their own PSU? I'm confurzed!@# Has it been that long since I built a computer?

jschristian44

it was modded to a bigger power supply. i dont think its a psu, just more of a bigger memory battery or something. either way it was modded. my story stands. it's a ripoff.

Sounds like it.

So you have no understanding of the item you were selling? Sound cards dont have break in periods.

surgeonstone

Just gets stranger and stranger. Is he an idiot, is he an idiot savant, is he autistic, is he a simpleton. Is he a troll, Who the frick knows.

jschristian44

well it was wierd. either it had a break in period or the driver needed burned in. either way something needs burned in. he's probably laughing with a full working good sound card and his 78 dollars back. oh well that's the past. did you watch my troll videos lol.

This review is from: GMC Denali Road Bike (Sports)
I was originally planning to get a mountain bike or a hybrid because I am used to the handlebars. But after researching, I found road bikes are much better. So I got this one after all the good reviews and the price. I got the yellow/black version. It is pretty stylish, but I would have liked white/black or red/black better, but no big deal. I was going to paint it, but I figured it's fine the appearance doesn't really matter. It matches my white helmet just fine. It came pretty much fully assembled, I just had to research on how to tighten the brakes and adjust them and the forks and everything. I took a quick ride around the neighborhood and I was amazed at how much easier and faster it was than our other bikes. I really enjoyed the 2 minutes I was on the bike for. I put a mirror and computer so far, and I'm expecting a bike lock, gel seat, mini pump, saddle bag, etc to add to it as well. For the price, you cannot beat this bike, pick one up today!

Update:
After riding for a little I can't figure how to turn up the front shifter. It goes up from 1, but it's blank at the next position and it never worked. Also, there are like gears 2 and 4 are missing from the rear. So I have to do some research to figure out how to fix the gears. But the gears that did work were excellent.

Update 2:
Still haven't gotten the gears to work correctly but after riding around my block 4x, it is a fantastic bike. I put a gel seat on, and I highly recommend you get one as well. It has made the ride much more enjoyable. I could've went around at least 30x without hurting. The bike itself is very fast. I can get so much leverage with my hands on the curved bars. Turns are fantastic. I am going to have tons of fun on this bike this summer. Cannot wait to get those gears fixed so I can go on longer distances and up hills. I am going to ride at least 25-30 miles a day on this thing probably if I can. If your looking to ride bicycle to save money on gas, or just get some exercise, please don't look further than this bike. I was reluctant to trying a road bike, but I am so glad I decided to get this one. Great beginner's bike.

Update 3:
So I sent my Denali back. I could never get the front and rear gears working well enough to like the bike. It also creaked pretty bad up hills. I am pretty sure it was the bottom bracket bearing, and on a brand new bike that should not happen. I recommend the bike if your looking to get into the sport like I was, but don't expect it to last you very long. Before long you will want a really light bike and performance one like I got now. But if you just want a bike to cruise around with and test out road biking, I recommend getting this. It's far more cheaper than any other road bike out there and if your on a budget it's a good value. Have a shop tune it up and prepare it for you though, it will be 40 dollars very well spent. Don't make the same mistake I did and try to do everything yourself if it's your first bike. I learned a lot from messing around with it though.

Yup, methinks there are more than a few similarities.

There is no such thing as a "break in period" or burn in. You sold him a trashed sound card.

He deserved his money back and should not be required to return your defective merchandise unless you send him a prepaid mailer.

It's your VERY recent past and judging by your 100% negative feedback your past is coming back to bite you.

Do mom and dad know you're online?

tagaproject6

Definitely a road rider for sure! Definitely!
