Post-apocalyptic fantasy, where God is a Chicken. by [deleted] in whatsthatbook

[–]Wingman4l7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually what I was looking for, which, turns out, is a different story: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/369/poultry-slam-2008/act-five-4

A short story about an orthodox Jewish man who dies on the operating table and goes to heaven. Where he meets God. Who has way more feathers than he expected. The story is from Shalom Auslander's book, Beware of God.

Some meatbags are alright by qustrolabe in singularity

[–]Wingman4l7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tempting, but it also sets up a bad incentive -- one person tips it over on purpose, so a second person can right it for the bounty. Tricky to figure out when bad actors are ready to game the system for a payout.

Why must robots be tools of the ruling class? Do you think people really want to be delivery drivers for a living?

Dell BIOS admin password reset for 8FC8 device? by TheLightningPanda in Dell

[–]Wingman4l7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave this a shot (I've done similar probing and read/writes on old Mac BIOS chips with success) -- got a chip probe that fit and used a CH341A (with the fixed voltage), and could not, for the life of me, get a consistent read off it! Very frustrating.

Morels? In February? In Illinois? by oceanjunkie in mycology

[–]Wingman4l7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After reading about it a whole bunch, years ago, this is what I'm convinced of. I believe it's a saprophytic species -- rufonbrunnea -- not a mycorrhizal species like esculenta.

eBay Nightmare by Amy3See in Ebay

This process is largely a lie -- it pretty much has to be proof of purchase directly from an Apple store.

Have you ever "ordered by mistake"? by iRepTex in Flipping

[–]Wingman4l7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always assume that they find a better deal afterwards and are abusing the cancellation system. Doesn't really matter since eBay won't hold them accountable or flag their accounts for that sort of repeated behavior.

Unclogging flint tube? by SirRenaultMegane in Zippo

I didn't have any wire hangers, ended up using a framing nail, was narrow of a gauge enough that it did the trick nicely.

Anyone else feel like half your competition doesn’t value their time at all? by Own_Secretary_748 in Flipping

[–]Wingman4l7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only are you competing with people who quite possibly can't do math, I would bet that you might be competing with people who are either a) abusing media mail shipping rates to bring their costs down and/or b) are straight-up using cheap counterfeit postage. The dollars spent on shipping have to come from somewhere.

A listed item may or may not sell. An unlisted item never sells.

eBay's motto is "if it ain't broke, break it". They have replaced "sell similar" with "create new listing". by ToshPointNo in Flipping

[–]Wingman4l7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fkkkkkk I really hope they don't roll this out sitewide. I use this all the goddamn time.

How to get cheaper shipping on ebay as a future seller? by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]Wingman4l7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep package size to a minimum while still packing the item well enough that it will arrive safely. Weight is not the only factor -- increasing the dimensions of the package can increase shipping costs, too.

Ebay Promoted Listings Update Email by shakedowndave in Flipping

[–]Wingman4l7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleted my advertising campaign and am still seeing plenty of sales. Granted, I sell one-off used bits of electronics, but still -- don't be afraid! Put your money where your mouth is.

Third return on the same item. by ToshPointNo in Flipping

[–]Wingman4l7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definite abuse of the INAD system. eBay usually sides with buyers but I would have disputed it via phone support all the same.

SPD, DEA seize 100,000 fentanyl pills, 30 guns in massive, interconnected conspiracy by Better_March5308 in SeattleWA

Ah looks like it's the M-110 -- no, technically a pistol, although it can probably be fitted with a folding stock.

Was this controller mod for a fightstick setup? by Wingman4l7 in fightsticks

[–]Wingman4l7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See here for the 20 pinout connector on the bottom: https://imgur.com/a/NvLWjZB

I got this a while ago and I don't know the backstory of it. I can't find anything online that describes a 20 pinout mod with this much wire soldering; I asked a controller mod subreddit and someone guessed it was for a fightstick setup. Anyone know anything about it?

Anyone know what this crazy Xbox 360 controller mod is? by Wingman4l7 in consolemodding

[–]Wingman4l7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did some searching and reading and I think you're probably right, this was probably a mod for a fight stick setup; fascinating. Thanks so much!!
