I got it from the 'vending machine tower'. It was a really good experience. Was cool to see the tower do it's thing. It was kind of funny because they pump in fake audio of the machine sounds into the lobby. Literally was there for tops 30 min before I drove away with it. Full disclosure I work for Carvana and had a decent employee discount although the price was comparative to local dealers with a much larger selection.

Imperador do Brasil posted:Good choice. I love my ‘19. Did a full turbo-back exhaust, intake and a KTuner and I am still getting 39mpg. One of the best parts of the KTuner is the rev-hang delete, if that starts to bother you at any point. Cool, what specific mods do you have? I'm already looking to add CAI and Tune. GoGoGadgetChris posted:I don't want to shop shame, but in 2019 what argument do people make for buying an ICE car other than "I want it and dont care about the consequences"?? If it makes you feel any better I moved from a 18mpg to a 30+mpg. Also I can't afford a 40k car. Not that I don't want an EV. Also, there is something special about rowing your own gears that I'm not sure I'll ever get tired of.

Does my terrible purchase that started this whole debate become any better if I said that it replaced a vehicle that was 18mpg while literally burning oil as part of the combustion process with something that gets 38mpg and probably burns much cleaner. I purchased some some beard oil https://www.amazon.com/Bearded-Bast...=gateway&sr=8-1 And a cat brush thing because my cat hats me. Hopefully it works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076889QC9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Picked up a cheap 250gb Kingston SSD. My current drive with windows installed took a poo poo on Sunday out of the blue. I guess with ssd's you don't get the. Oh this might be failing stages where you can sometimes get them to work long enough to pull any 'important' data or windows keys etc off of. Also a new copy of windows probably coming up because I never registered mine to my Microsoft account and thus lost the key from windows 7 upgrade to 10.

mystes posted:Better start saving up for that $3 eBay windows 10 pro key. It's been so long since I've messed with windows. Turns out that when you upgraded from 7-10 (if you did that) and you logged in with a Microsoft account. It registered your digital license along with a profile of your hardware (mobo, cpu, etc) So you can just replace the drive and log in with the same info and as long as there are not significant changes to your hardware it will register. Who knew!? $0 spent.

Spent money on my weekend checking this out. This is not my picture nor does this picture give you a good scale. It's 1 x .75 MILE It's a gigantic hole in the ground made by a meteor. We weren't able to go on the tour around the rim as wind gust were 80mph at the rim. Az has so much cool poo poo. I need to get out more.

We've already talked about making it a trip there next time we are out. I'd also suggest for people to checkout Kartchner Caverns. We wen't there towards the end of last year. really cool if you like caves. https://azstateparks.com/kartchner/cave-tours/cave-information Additionally, last summer we made it out to Slide Rock in Sedona.

OniPanda posted:I've bought PCB components off of aliexpress because they were my literal only option as Honeywell obsoleted a part that we were using WITH NO REPLACEMENT PART. Aliexpress still had someone selling clones, so that saved us. Also bought a bunch of stuff for building bass effects pedals. Again, you get what you pay for, but it'll do and sometimes it's the only option This has been my experience when fixing electronics. I needed a very specific lens for a projector light engine that had a bulb burn it. Only place was Aliexpress and you had to buy a pack of 10. Shipping took 3 weeks. I think factories setup pages to sell the parts direct to consumers.

OSU_Matthew posted:Tried to un-kink a decidedly not un-frozen hose the other week and wound up snapping a large puncture right in the center. The only thing I have to say about hoses is that If you spend $40 you can get a goodyear hose. I've had one outside in AZ sun for near a decade. Used the same one for extermination daily too. S tier hose imo.

shipwrek posted:Changed my mind about the electric bike and got a Onewheel last weekend. Been riding a bit every day and think I'll do the commute (about 3km) next week. Went with the XR+ because i'm goon sized and it handles great! I've been on the fence with this for about 2 months. Been looking for 2nd hand and even had a new one in the cart. I just feel like it's a mid life crisis 35yr old purchase every time I think about it. Like would it be cool hell yeah. Will I fall and break my arm probably.

evobatman posted:Bought a Playstation VR V2 with move controllers for $100 from our Craigslist equivalent! I'm not going to knock 100$ investment to get into VR. However I've not heard great things in general about the PSVR (anecdotal from 2 friends). If you like it consider picking up a dedicated headset. The quest 2 is pretty good and not too pricey. They also recently removed the requirement to link a FB account if I'm not mistaken. I hope you enjoy it tho!

I've had mine since Jun 21' and I've put about 600 miles on it. I've *knocks on wood* not broken my arm yet. Couple of falls and scrapes but I barely break 14 mph/22.5 kmh on it.

Doom Rooster posted:You only need to reuse them 237 times to break even with plastic bags for negative environmental impact, and 651 times for cost! Are you implying we shouldn't get them or they are not worth the cost? Or won't last that long? Are not actually good for the env? Curious to know the context/tone behind your comment.

Idk about conference head set but I have 2 pairs of Logitech G533 and love them. Good sound not super heavy. Mute button on the back left side and you can flip the mic up out of the way to mute. There is also a small light in the mic showing if your muted. Good luck.

Should have sold it back to him for double. That's the gamble right? That you get something rare and I assume you'd be able to find a buyer at a rock expo. What would the 'cost' of this even be?

Why do you need to cool the whole 5 gallon jug? The office coolers cool down some internal reservoir that gets despensed maybe 24-64oz if I had to guess. Some even offer hot and cold spigots.
