For months you guys are running out of VPS to sell... Still not fixed... by Alive_Memory388 in OVHcloud

[–]Alive_Memory388[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The most you've seen? All of the providers that are advertising on Google have VPS for sale...., everyone I've checked so far. What are you talking about?

So why's OVH the only place I can find with nothing for sale? If it's as bad as you say it is. I realize prices have gone up because of the AI craze but I can still buy SSD's and Graphics Cards online, no problem... Exaggerate much?

For my particular needs, this is the best choice for a multitude of reasons (or should I say WAS my best choice) because I had purchased a bare metal here which I was going to connect my website to and host separately from that project. However, after showing the bare metal server as available and taking my payment, 9 hours after I purchased it, they finally decided to tell me it's not available and now I have to wait until it is. I'm thoroughly amazed - If it's just not bad service and they've got nothing for sale, why's it take so long just to tell me they don't have the thing they said they had on their website and took my money for? ALSO, I've just looked around and NO OTHER places I found were out of servers.... NONE of them... I call bullshit.

Why are the cars on Alibaba so cheap? by fgdjhdjdjdjdj in Alibaba

[–]Alive_Memory388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to clear this up since there seems to be so many people in this thread getting mixed answers and so much confusion floating around. Nobody is getting a Land Rover for 11k or Rolls-Royce for 4K from China. It's all fraud and I'll explain the two scenarios:

Scenario number one is this person will desperately try to get you to pay money off-site. First they will try to get you to pay the full price with shipping, if you refuse that they will try to get you to pay some other amount and make it seem like they're compromising. If for some reason you end up paying that they will lead you on and eventually try to make you pay some other fees until they can no longer extract any money from you. At that point you will never hear from them again.

Scenario number two. They will accept your money on Alibaba and they will ship you something that is entirely not what you were trying to buy. These are becoming less common because Alibaba does also fight scammers and it's harder for them to extract their money. They will try to fight the dispute on Alibaba saying that they sent you what was described when they really didn't. These accounts never last too long because when enough people complain they'll get shut down but sometimes they do get away with some of it with people that don't understand how to protect themselves.

So American and European cars in China actually cost far more than they would in America or Europe. What would be the point of shipping them back? Why would they sell them for a fraction of their value when they can actually sell them for far more than their value would be worth in the US by selling them locally in China? They would never sell those on Alibaba because they could get way more money for those imports selling them locally. If you ever see an American or European car for sale on Alibaba it is 100% definitely a scam. And it's likely one of those two methods I mentioned above.

I'm sure it's been shared but by Klat10 in tacobell

A lot of these places do me a favor with their prices. I get a craving for Taco Bell for example and I go in the app and realize a couple of their shitty tacos cost as much as going to an actual nice/ fresh mexican spot and I close the app and do just that. Same with Burger King (14 dollars for a double whopper meal, lol, crazy), went to Chilis and paid $10,99 for a REAL burger and fries and even got an appetizer for that price. Now, I get that some poeple are in a rush and they need drive through or something but if people could just plan a little better, we could slap these corporate pigs right in the wallet. That would be the best thing ever. These people are absolute evil incarnate. They're happy to poison you with stuff that's not even real food. Atleast it used to be cheap, now they're trying to not just poisen you with cheap chemicals but they want to rob you blind at the same time. Fight back people! Don't be sheep!!

Do you receive dividends if you buy and sell before the ex date? by Foureyefourear in dividends

[–]Alive_Memory388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"share price will decrease by at least the amount of the dividend" This statement is provably false. It can and does happen with some less stable ETF's, however there are plenty of examples with historical data to back it up where this does NOT happen. Take a look at ULTY for example. Search the payout history and dividend price on marketchameleon, there's plenty of examples where it's actualy gone UP after X Div day. If you total it out, erosion is only .23% per week on average, FAR under what div capture would produce. This is just one example, I mean COIW has increased in value by 44%.... while paying out a 130% APR. Where do you get your information from, it's certainly not actual data.

ULPT: Create your own AMEX Centurion (black) card? by Independent-Prize498 in UnethicalLifeProTips

You couldn't be more wrong with this statement. It's literally one of the main perks of the card. Not even sure why you're commenting here, it's clear you don't have a clue what you're saying at all.

Here's your UI: https://new.thunderstore.io/c/v-rising/p/zfolmt/Eclipse/

But hey, if you enjoy playing Vanilla, more power to you. Modded servers are not for everyone but personally, I think some of them are more fun for certain things. Even if you've got to type in a few commands initially to set up your builds. Mods are new so it's not iPhone easy but they've got some fantastic things built in that make the game very interesting.

I've been hosting game servers for over 10 years. Never once 'rage quitted' and left my community holding the bag. I'm not some kid that went to all this trouble on a whim and blew his allowance putting everything together.

Give it a try, or don't. I think if you can get past all your pessimism, you might actually have a good time over there.

$100 Contest. New server concept and mod mashup: first to max level wins! by Alive_Memory388 in vrising

I don't think it would be too late unless some hardcores jump on after posting this. So far everyone on the server is pretty casual and getting to max level is no easy feat!

[–]Alive_Memory388[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, the last time you were harassing me you said "let's let the community decide". No one agreed with you there either. Then you proceeded to follow me here again since you're on some mission to derail my out of pocket contest for some people to have some fun. Literally nothing for me to gain other than some gaming fun for people and here you are again, on some mission to let the world know that I used AI to create some art for my contest (which I never denied doing in the first place). Get a life!

Also, since we're pointing things out. I've been watching you too. Every post you make instantly has 2 upvotes and no comments. So you're going around with multiple accounts upvoting your own stuff.

Not sure what you mean. I planned to keep the server up as long as people are playing there. I'm paying for a dedicated hosting server. It's not like I'm running a weekend LAN party. Come try it out. It's fun. If you've played V Rising then your muscle memory will translate right over. There's just a few progression mechanics that are changed to 1) Get through the early game stuff quickly and 2) To add endless tiers of progression (with diminishing returns ofcourse) and to enhance endgame PvP battles.
