      Had this reality last night, as I was under the hood of the 4Runner at an Autozone on my way home. Years of repair knowledge are so FUCKING useful.

      Drove to O'Hare to pick up some family friends and bring them home. As we got to their house, my left hand lamp went out. No biggie, I'll stop at the local Auto store and get a new bulb.

      Get a new bulb, doesn't light up. Crap, now what? It's 5:30 and I need to be home before 6. Look at the wiring at the connector and it's all good. I peel back the loom protector and I see a small kink in a wire, not sure how or where it came from. I separated the wire from the harness and cut it out. Stripped the wires back, put in a new connector and tested. Worked great and I was pretty happy.

      Looked back at my phone and it was 5:35. Something, 5 years ago, would have taken me an evening and YouTube to figure out was now a 5 minute job. Just #feelsgoodman.

      I never complain about shop prices or hourly rates. After all, I'm paying the time for a guy who has the knowledge to fix things, not for the time for the guy to do it.

            Knowledge is Power
            Power is Work per unit Time
            Salary is Pay per unit Time

            If you divide those into each other you will find that Knowledge is inverse to Salary.

            This explains the modern corporate.

                          @rctothefuture It is deep meme magic from the old internet. A relic.
