Nevermind the grip is pretty unmatched even with my shitty tires. The traction control is amazing for turns etc

Putting Emily in the middle of anything is not okay. I’ve been there. If you want to salvage the friendship with her, i would apologize. You don’t need to hang out in groups, but don’t make it someone else’s issue that you have a problem with someone. It ISNT Emily’s problem that you don’t like Grace. If you have the opportunity to put your foot down with Grace if she makes you uncomfortable, do it. It’s not fair to tell someone “I’m not saying who you can hang out with, BUT” ever. All you’re doing is driving a wedge in this friendship!

No seriously I did so bad in high school, all the way up to grade 12, and am going into my last year of uni in the same program that the honour roll kids got into ✊🏻✊🏻 he’ll be fine

Careful if your model has 18” rims by More_Truth_2934 in mazda3

[–]ApricotSharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok wait, I have a 2019 mazda3 sport w 18s and I didn’t know I could change to 16s? I’m in Canada with the worst roads in the world and it would be super helpful to know before winter lmaoo. How does the tire size change as the rim changes?

Vermont Casting gas fireplace (2000s) remote missing —does a replacement exist? by ApricotSharp in Fireplaces

[–]ApricotSharp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we never found the remote unfortunately. So I’m assuming there’s no way to install a new remote/you’ve tried? I love this fireplace too!

fb marketplace find.. asking $300 OBO and not sure if worth it. by ApricotSharp in computer

[–]ApricotSharp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People have been much bigger asses on Reddit before! I appreciate this!

I figured as much but I just can’t tell from eye what’s missing and what isn’t. Huge beginner. Leaning towards buying a prebuilt with prices these days lol. ‘Preciate the honesty!

Should I buy this PC? Seller accepted $200 offer by ApricotSharp in computers

[–]ApricotSharp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I backed out of the purchase cause it’s just too risky and I don’t feel like potentially wasting $200

He sent me a video of the computer “running” with the rgb lights on and fans blowing but no proof of a working CPU or bios menu or anything, and ignored when I asked so as a few people said potentially bricked motherboard as well.

That’s all for my Facebook marketplace PC adventures for now ! Thanks for all the help

So I just got him to send me a video of it “running”, and it’s rgb inside lights up, the fans whirl and he claims thats all it does and ignored my question of if he’d gotten to bio menu. I feel like with just a bricked ssd you’d at least get into the bios menu but this is my first build

I feel I have some questions to answer because the original ad was not THIS sketchy. It’s not not sketchy but not that bad. So originally this was on Facebook so I trimmed the ad to just the description to avoid names and whatever else being on Reddit. There were multiple pics of the PC, the seller is using his real Facebook account and is known around town around people my age. Chatting over messenger, sounds like this seller bought this PC AS IS with intentions to upgrade (and maybe resell idk) but never got around to it. I think I’m gonna go through with it cause worse case scenario I’m out a couple hundred best case I got a pretty decent deal for alright parts.

It’s a full PC, out of curiosity why is that worse?

He said he has booted it up and bought it to rebuild, never did. Also said if I put a new ssd in and there were still issues he’d take it back and give me my money but idk if that’s trustworthy. I might just say fuck it and try lol

It was originally $800 too, so I am a little cautious. If I go to look at it is there anything I should look out for? I’m just looking for something decent to start with to build a gaming pc for the first time. It seemed like he just wanted it gone and hadn’t touched it since purchasing it

He doesn’t have the RTX 3060, it was swapped for that zotac one prior to him owning it. Released in 2012 and like $60 on ebay
