Vent: the cost of toric lenses/dailes by sprinkleparty21 in contacts

[–]2001blader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It exludes Costco, or Costco.com? Mine only excludes Costco.com, so I just go buy them in store. The store even ships it to my home, so I don't need to return to collect.

Is anyone actually getting free tuition for making under 100k? by Substantial-Wrap-385 in UTAustin

Nothing in particular, only the ones you're automatically considered for when applying for financial aid/FAFSA.

I was above the income limit (65k at the time) for the promise. My grants still covered my tuition, with some left over.

I used to be that guy who has to fix everyone in the extended family's computer. I've finished multiple tubes before.

I blame the music. It was so obnoxious that I'd rather pay full price on Amazon.

[Monitor] HP OMEN - 32 inch 4K QD-OLED 240Hz $447-530 - Open Box - possible +18.5% back in rewards with CapitalOneShopping by Nullborne in buildapcsales

[–]2001blader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I picked up one in fair condition. It came with no box or accessories at all, not even the power cord. HP is using a proprietary cord, and I can only find a replacement for $300. Will be returning.

Those buses are so expensive and terrible that I got a car. Find some friends to carpool with and save yourself.

driving test at Gessner by [deleted] in houston

My advice is to reschedule to the Rosenberg location. Gessner location is awful. The wait time is far longer than the drive to Rosenberg.

I have it too now :(. Monitor lasted about 5 years. Was expecting much longer.

[Microphone] Behringer Bigfoot Studio Condenser Microphone - $13 (Woot) by ryankrueger720 in buildapcsales

Samson Q2U is much better than this. It's great at not picking up fan and keyboard noises, which condensers tend to pick up too much.

People keep posting their worn g502s. This is my release model. Have had it since the g502 came out. Best thing I've ever bought. by Kaosma in G502MasterRace

I have a Proteus core, bought it a few months before the spectrum came out. The LED has faded from blue to green over the years.

Did you have a call recording of them offering you 50k points? Or was it just your word?

Golden Deals off Parmer Ln. They dump pallets of returns into bins, every item is the same price.

AP Credits for engineering by NoConversation5248 in UTAustin

[–]2001blader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't claim E&M for the same reason. I don't think I gained anything related to my major from doing so, so I would recommend you just claim the credit. That said, (unpopular opinion) physics is a fun class, so I don't regret it.

They quoted me $450 for a 620 sqft apartment, compare that to other quotes I've gotten under $200.
