I just finished successfully replacing the starter.

I'm also finished with this comment chain.

The other guy was finished hours ago, he must be even more successful than you I guess!

We just made it like 120 miles back home and replaced the starter under warranty.

This isn't a dick measuring contest, but we made it back home and replaced the starter, under warranty, under my labor..

F off.

I get what you were saying and what the other commenter was saying. You're saying that no knowledge is inherent, all knowledge needs to be learned.

The other commenter was conflating common sense with common knowledge, being knowledge that the majority of people know and can recall (but would still need to be learned at some point from somewhere).

I don't think you are wrong, and I think the other commenter was trying to say that common knowledge changed over time (true). I hope neither of you let it affect your day too badly.

Please reach me how to be so successful as to perform car maintenance.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

I don't do reach arounds.

Maybe try spelling preach correctly.

[-] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago

Well there goes my plans for the weekend I guess...

[-] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 2 points 7 months ago

Would you consider keeping your car maintained common sense?

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

No. That is an educated thing.
