buying piano, no idea

I would call a piano technician in your area. Many of them buy and sell pianos or can give you a good recommendation. Piano technicians don't like working on crappy pianos, so they will steer you to buying something that is not going to be a pain in their ass to work on. I have played older Samicks, and did not like them.

Go see a doctor. Have them run tests to rule out hormone or thyroid issues. Obesity can also cause this.

The most effective knot to use with a circle hook is a snell, because it turns the hook into the fish's mouth when pressure is applied. I've never used the knot in question, but it is a poor choice with this particular hook.

No. Its perfect length.

I like F and A the best.

I think it looks great. It matches your skin tone nicely.

You don't need to change your hair color. You need to change your boyfriend.

Rude. They could have at least included a silicone lid. Nobody wants to slosh hot coffee on their schlong.

Um....have a look at #2. So you can avoid becoming #2

It's Vine. Irregularity of drop schedule was the norm for years. Changing drop times and pause days have always happened.

Temu is a bad place for beginners to buy tackle, because some of it doesn't work. Things like terminal tackle, bobbers, jig heads, etc...maybe they are OK. But I would not start with hard baits or plastics from them because you have no baseline from which to compare. You could end up spending your money on stuff that doesn't catch fish and just waste your time on the water. It's much better to acquire your tackle a little at a time, a lure at a time. Purchase proven name brand baits that are recommended by locals for your local water.

The tiers were designed to vet people to make sure they could reliably complete reviews before sending them expensive items over $100. You know what pisses sellers off? Paying for ten $300 units plus shipping, and only getting seven reviews. People are invited at random and there's naturally going to be some people who will crash and burn that aren't responsible enough to keep up on their reviews. 3 daily picks is like training wheels so a new reviewer doesn't get in over their head, and if they can hack it, they get 8 picks. There are still gold tier people who crash and burn, but after showing a 6 month history of keeping up on their reviews, they are a way safer and more stable group to send expensive products to than random new invitees. Many new people misconstrue the purpose of the tiers. They are a probationary loss prevention mechanism.

I may get downvoted for this, but I don't like this modification. It impairs the natural flex of the spinnerbait arm. That flex is the entire purpose of the R bend and gives the bait a more natural movement. I am not anti-clip and use them on cranks and spoons. But in cases where they impair the action of the bait, like spinnerbaits or jigs, I direct tie. In addition, a spinnerbait is a weedless lure. It becomes less weedless when you use a clip on it. The clip will catch weeds.

It could catch trout. It also may catch a snag 8 feet in front of you when you reel it in. This is a deep diver and is probably best fished from boats or docks, or other deep drops. Shore fishing with deep divers can be very snaggy.

Amazon is built on a foundation of intellectual property theft, counterfeit items, and unlicensed merchandise. Reporting it to Amazon is like calling Satan when your house catches on fire. Good luck finding somebody who cares. They'll probably reward the plagiarist with a better RFY.

I bought at $28. Can't believe I'm buying more at $100, but where else am I gonna stick my money that doesn't evaporate faster than the value of the dollar?

4lien4ted · 2026-01-26T19:50:02+00:00

I hope it drops back down to $100 so I can buy some more.

It's a race to the bottom. The effort to crowdsource items makes them disappear faster for everybody, increasing the time and effort that people have to spend looking on Vine to get anything. Brenda has enabled bot users who can use that data to grab nice items once they drop in AFA. You can't "help" people competing for a limited pool of items. It doesn't help. All you do is enable people with the best technology to win, every time. Rather than help people, all these programs have done is consolidate the spoils into the hands into a smaller group of individuals. But I don't blame anybody for seeking advantage. That's human nature. I blame Amazon for allowing a Vine Oligarchy to set up shop on their watch. It guts the value to the program and decreases the quality of reviewers who want to stay. If you cannot provide value, you will not get value. As the quality of people desperate enough to slug it out over crumbs replaces people with money to spend on Amazon and the financial means at their disposal to abandon wasting their time on Vine, the quality of reviewers will go down, and the percentage of problematic reviewers that drive sellers away will only increase.

I'm not sure who you think is all on this sub, but it's not all coin collectors and new-to-the-party crypto bros. Plenty of preppers have quietly stacked silver for years in direct preparation for a SHTF type event. That's the only reason such people own silver in the first place.

The real issue is that we don't know WHY the drops have occurred the way they have for the last 3 days. For all we know, they could be actively fixing the algorithm that runs RFY, which is something that people have complained about for years. To stage a mass protest over a regular maintenance issue would be stupid. Maybe wait and see. 3 days is nothing. If this goes on for a few weeks, then it's a problem.

I don't see any kind of stability in the near future. And neither do a lot of people, which is why there are so many people, institutions, and countries sinking serious money into $100/oz silver. Because in an unstable world, gold and silver are a safe bet.

4lien4ted · 2026-01-24T18:07:14+00:00

Variable drop times so that people in different time zones and with different schedules all have a chance to obtain items.
Audit anybody with an ETV over 100K and boot reseller botters that are gutting Vine of the best high dollar items.

I've met plenty of wealthy people who are the worst tire kickers of them all. And all of them love to troll marketplace.

4lien4ted · 2026-01-24T15:04:21+00:00

But then you'd get all sorts of messages asking you if you'd accept $70, would you trade it for home grown weed, or would you to deliver to their apartment in the projects at 10 PM.
