I’m feeling a lot of things right now, but one thing I’m not feeling is alone.

When you're trying to get #Google to help them fix a problem they have in relaying an email to a list (they are forwarding as if it they are originating your non-GMail email, thus incurring an SPF failure) their helpful support team to the rescue (see image attached).
FYI... the second thing they want is a screen cap of the client SMTP config.
Very temped to send a screenshot wit…

So my car has been complaining I should put some exhaust emissions neutralizing fluid in it. A thing they call AdBlue I believe.
Bought a big 10l drum of the stuff ready to fill up.
But when I look at where I expect to find the hole for filling it, I just find a capped off tube and a warning sticker "See the GM Citreon Berlingo Blaze manual" for the adblue refilling hole.
Only user manual I have is the one telling me to expect it there.
The car was converted for wheelchair access at some point in its life. I think they are referring to the wheelchair-adaption manual, which the seller did not give me.
🤔
Have been looking around the car as much as I can for a couple of hours this morning to no avail. Where have they hidden this hole to fill up adblue?
Maybe it's under the engine or something now and you have to put the thing on stilts to find it?
🤷
Asked my mechanic about it and he says to bring it in on Monday. Gonna be a pain if I have to rip up the floorboards or something every year to refill that.

Here is a metaphor that might be helpful in understanding immature tech trends.
When you have a leak in your plumbing, that's a problem that can be fixed. You can find the leak, replace the pipe, and the problem is solved.
When you learn to ride a bike, falling over is a different class of problem. The first times you fall off constantly. Then as you start to get the hang of it, you fall off 1 in 10 times, then 1 in a 100, and so on.
You minimize the problem, but it n…
