For nogle år siden tabte jeg min telefon og smadrede skærmen. Da det var en telefon af ældre dato prøvede jeg selv at reparere det med reservedele fra Kina og det gik overraskende godt.
Jeg begyndte at købe defekte telefoner, bestille reservedele fra Kina og havde et lille hobby-mobil-vækrksted. Jeg elsker at reparere telefoner, jeg tænker det er for mig hvad en Sudoku er for andre mennesker.
Lysten forsvandt ikke ved de mange “low quality” reservedele jeg måtte kassere, eller de nye import regler for Kinavarer, nej alt det var en del af oplevelsen. Men at sælge telefonerne… Gud fri mig vel.
Nogle telefoner havde defekter jeg ikke var kyndig nok til at redde og det skrev jeg i salgs annoncen. Alligevel var der flere der efterfølgende klagede over lige præcis den defekt flere uger (en enkelt, et halvt år) efter.
Det, kombineret med at cirka 10% af køberne rent faktisk dukkede op og resten enten udeblev eller skrev flere timer senere om jeg kunne mødes på stationen… Det blev så trættende, så til sidst døde lysten for at reparere telefoner for jeg orkede ikke at sælge dem…
I dag forsøger jeg dog at reparere alt der går i stykker (medmindre det er under garanti/reklamation) og har både sat et par Xbox i stand og nogle bærbare der havde det lidt trist.
That God was real and had existed for all eternity.
Be the change you wanna see!
Not how I view the world, but how I view USA and “citizens of the free world”.
In 2016 my girlfriend and I visited New York - for me, first time visiting USA. I had a co-worker who lived in USA for most of her childhood, so I asked her if she had some advice for me to get along with people I met on my way.
“Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans”.
I thought that to be rude as I had “talked” with many Americans on Reddit and sure, there were idiots, but that didn’t define a person from USA for me.
We arrived in New York and took a cab to the hotel. The driver asked us “So, is Donald Trump making headlines in Europe?” (This was during the 2016 election).
I laughed and told him “Yeah, can you believe people will vote on such a moron”…
Oh no I didn’t… He was furious, as Donald Trump was the Saviour of USA and he was singlehandedly going to “clean up the swamp” or whatever his catchphrase was… and then he said one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
“90% of Muslims are terrorists and if you don’t kill them, they will kill you”…
I know not all Americans are this dumb, but I learned my lesson… Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans.
