 Managed to fuck up both my car and garage door because the garage door only went up 75% of the way before getting stuck, just enough to be out of my rearview mirror's coverage when I was backing out. 😡 
 rest in pepperonis to both 
 That sucks. Ugh. I've replaced 3 garage door openers in my lifetime, but have never seen that happen. 
 Garage doors are crazy.

Like, you can kill yourself trying to perform maintenance on the primary roller spring if you don't know what you're doing.

They're also crazy delicate and become completely useless if anything gets slightly out of alignment. 
 YES! I had one of those springs snap while in the garage. Thought a gun went off 🤣 Thankfully I didn't get hit by it. 
 Let’s start a business to provide a safer and better solution that has a BTC treasury 🤓 I can provide the mechanical design concepts 
 I guess there's already a good design.
My garage door is almost 50 years old, manual, solid and maintenance free. 
 Fuuuuuuckkkkkkk 
 Bitcoin doesn’t fix this 
 My car is has been missing an antenna for 5 years due to this. 
 That's rough. I'll be backing into the garage from now on out. Thanks for the warning. 
 i drove into my garage with a bike on the roof....the bike was find, the wasnt. 
 What are the odds... 
 You are not alone! Exactly same thing happened to my wife with a brand new car few months ago… https://image.nostr.build/b071d3f69e9bc4ee1142acdfda067516d38997086d47b965e7885e60d7f5a769.jpg  
 Verify, don't trust.  
 Rekt 
 Damn that sucks bro 
 Fake garage door company here. Sucks! Destroyed one door and one rear window myself. Same way. No bueno. 
 Smart garage door? 
 Usually I'd say if that's the worst thing that happens today..  

But in this case I'll go with... if that's the worst thing that happens this week it's all good in the long run.. 
 🍻 been there, Done that. Although for me -i f I didn't accidently leave the trunk/tailgate up whilst reversing out, it would not have even happened. 🥴🥴 
I felt embarrassed for my embarrassed self. 
But I feels ya.  
 “Ah, the old 5 dollar garage door remote attack” 
 Ah, the can opener. A classic move! http://11foot8.com/ 
 I just did the same thing so know I need to somehow order a panel from Clopay Door co.  This is going to be expensive fix.  
 😳 
 A first world problem…still totally SUCKS! I winced a little when I read it. 
 Murphy's laws work.
