See we've all got somethin' that we've trapped inside That we try to suffocate, you know hoping it dies Try to hold it underwater, but it always survives Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies You don't relate to that, must not be as crazy I am The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe Just hang with me, this will only take a moment, okay? Just think about it for a second if you look at your face Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great You'll never be great Not because you're not but the hate Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith --NF - THE SEARCH(its a song)

I like the way you think but the reality is, I have no family of my own, no girlfriend, no friends. I moved from a good paying job in Washington to a low paying job in Kentucky. Two months later I got fired as if I was a criminal. Right now this is all I do, rolling balls all day 😂 Even calling myself a "technician" is too much for who I am in reality. But I wish I was more of a dreamer like most people. Thinking positive even when everything is falling apart.

I stumbled upon your channel by chance, and I must say, I was blown away by the incredible skills you possess in repairing video cards! Watching you diagnose and fix these high-complexity chips with such precision and expertise felt like witnessing a true artist at work. It's mesmerizing to see the level of care and dedication you put into each repair, (the landfill delima), turning what might have been discarded GPUs into fully functional masterpieces. In today's fast-paced world, it's unfortunately common for many to just throw away electronic devices when they encounter issues, contributing to the "throw it away" society. But you, sir, are making a significant difference. By providing a place for people to get their GPUs repaired, you're not just saving these valuable components from ending up in landfills, but you're also promoting sustainability and a more thoughtful approach to technology. Your passion for what you do and the way you value the importance of giving these GPUs a second chance speak volumes about your good character. It's evident that you genuinely care about helping others and making a positive impact in the tech community and gamers lol. People like you inspire hope for a better, more conscious future, and I'm grateful to have come across your channel. Keep up the fantastic work, and please continue sharing your incredible talent with the world. We need more individuals like you, who remind us that repairing and repurposing can be just as awe-inspiring as creating something new. To quote another U-Tuber AvE, "MORE STUFF FOR THE LANDFILL!" Not here!
