Go to Union Jack's if you want to go to a decent strip club in Portland, go to Voodoo Donuts if you want a donut coated with stale cereal.

The problem is that Union Jack's is on the East Side, so it's a decent hike if walking across the Burnside Bridge. I make this assumption because

Some one was "avoiding a dog in the rain," so I had to buy these gun parts:


She came by and apologized and offered to pay to fix it and stuff. I didn't take her money because it was an accident and it's a mailbox and they are in the way of everything if you like driving on curbs. I'm pretty sure she might've been drinking because I found pieces of her hubcap about 20 yards away from the mailbox. She was also missing pieces of her right side mirror.

People post all kinds of random stuff here, so maybe someone will know where I can find this:

There are these car cupholders, most often found in European-spec models:





Those would be easy to find, but I don't need the whole cupholder structure -- just the rolling cover part of it (ideally metal). I'd like to build it into other random stuff I'm making.

So, any thoughts where I can get the cover/roll? It doesn't have to be from a car cupholder at all, as long as it functions the same way.

Junkyard.

Or make it yourself, by glueing strips of wood or aluminum or plastic or whatever on a piece of soft plastic (like a gel) from the craft store.

All they'll tell you is they'll sell you that part at grossly inflated prices. They're seriously bad at customer service, I wanted to order some wires and inquired if I could do local pick up since I live about 15 miles away from them and they wanted $20 to ship it FedEx ground.

Not only did they say they couldn't (or wouldn't) do local pick up but they were complete condescending assholes about it. You'll get more blood from a stone than help from them.

The junkyard might be a non-starter, or at least something that could take months. I'm in the US, and couldn't tell you last time I actually saw one of those in a car.

So yeah, the DIY option is probably what I'll have to do. Here comes 20 attempts before I find a way to make it not look like rear end. But at least I was able to figure out that's called a tambour, so I've got a starting point :toot:

IKEA has some cabinets that get pretty small/narrow that have rollup doors like that in aluminum, might be a good place to start if you live near one.

Had to jump through some hoops to get this purchase to authorize. Apparently, my payroll Visa card doesn't process international transactions and the game is only available for purchase through their website. Unfortunately, I live in the US and Frontier Developments is based in the UK, so it kept declining.

Ended up handing my roommate $60 and using her card.

Really excited to give this a shot; I've been craving a space shooter for years and it doesn't look like Star Citizen is going to deliver anytime soon (if ever).

eBay, search for "tambour box" without quotes, plenty of results for wooden boxes with tambour lids if that'll work for ~$20

I bought a Lenovo Z50-70 3-4 months ago. I also got the upgraded version with an i7, a Geforce 840m, and 16gb RAM, but despite it's sweet specs and good looks the build quality is atrocious. It's already lost 3 screws and the track pad has a mind of it's own, I've heard that both the screws and trackpad are common Lenovo issues, so be aware that it might be something that happens to yours too.

The loose screws thing is no joke either. Had that in my E540 too. And then I sent it in for a mainboard replacement and it came back like that again. Even some screws for the heatsink were only half in. So, first thing, take of the bottom plate and carefully tighten whatever screw you see. Loose screws can short out your mainboard!
