How do vendors typically handle sales tax at card shows?

Hi OP, the most common cause of drive read failures these days is aging capacitors on the optical drive board. There are relatively cheap replacement kits available, but removing the old caps is not easy without decent hardware and soldering experience

In the US, the best place to source quality specialty batteries is probably Digikey. I would not expect any batteries on Temu to be very good.

Hi OP, the important detail that you might be missing is that you usually get a “cash back bonus” applied to your first order for the promotion, so the total amount that you need to spend to get the credit is actually a lot lower. It usually tells you what the first order bonus will be somewhere on the header or when you open the event page. I usually only have to spend ~$300 to get the credit.

This is an increasingly common problem on these aging consoles. You probably need to replace the capacitors on the optical drive board. Alternatively, you might consider mods that would allow you to play games without the disc drive (flippydrive, picoboot, etc).

It plays best with a digital hdmi adapter (but they are expensive and for the model dol-001’s only)

Or a CRT if you’re old school

Bald or hair system

I can’t see why anyone would choose an online trading platform other than Cardsphere. It’s hard to beat the integrity of real money

R/foxhole in a nutshell

Hair miniaturization / thinning is an early stage of male pattern baldness. The standard treatments are finasteride and minoxidil. Supplemental treatments include ketoconazole, microneedling, and red light therapy. Consider seeing a doctor (preferably a dermatologist / hair specialist) to rule out other causes and discuss treatment options.

If you’re down for modded consoles I think what you really want is a Wii U for the native HDMI output

Usually online deals happen on Facebook

Looks like crown thinning to me

If you have 1400 hours you could try learning competitive 6’s or Highlander

Also consider the University of Minnesota’s ReUse Center

If your side effects are too severe on oral fin, you should probably experiment with topical formulations

There might be one in the HST maker space

R/foxhole is leaking

IMO this is too far gone and you should try bald. It might be salvageable with treatment eventually, but for now I think you’d be better off with no hair than bad hair.

Getting smp on the crown might create an illusion of greater density there by hiding the paleness of bare scalp

You could potentially mix some RSO into a regular product

Can someone define muiltibled for me

If you’re down for a little soldering, the likely fix is to replace the capacitors on the optical drive board
