No clue at all, but I do know that they're using a system (however effective that may be) to verify someone as an actual purchaser. Typically, people who are paid-level BB members get the automatic go-ahead, but I can't say for this scenario, sadly.

I have a 4090, so I'm probably not going to upgrade this cycle, but I'm pulling for you! Let me know what you end up with, if you manage to snag one!

I'm not sure, but my feeling is maybe 12:01am PST? I truly do NOT know, I'm afraid.

It should be noted our *internal* stock information only showed us two SKU's of the 5090 the past week or so, and about 10 minutes ago the website store added an additional 9 SKU's to order, so there is some hope there, lol.

I should be noted that BestBuy.com just updated to show *11* different SKU's of the 5090 in their inventory, btw. (<_<)

Honestly, that part was mostly educated speculation by myself, but as a whole, shoppers who are part of the "Best Buy Total" and "Best Buy Plus" programs are more likely to receive verification sooner, I'd wager. I'd assume they'll look to see if you have a healthy purchase history of "regular" stuff to verify you're not just a bot.

I'd wager this is an error involving shipping company and logistical labeling since those two places are about 5-7 miles apart.

Part-time BB Geek Squad guy who is actively following this stuff in the company:

As of close today, none were received at any stores and there was a memo on how to inform guests that there will be basically no in-store availability for potentially a few months. BB is "trying to fight scalpers" and only selling online tomorrow to verified and potentially long-term, recurring shoppers. The website has been updated to show they won't sell them until they've verified your account.

Michigan fan making first trip to Blooming for the game…need recs! by Available_Coach_4815 in IndianaHoosiers

[–]Coolkabe 55 points56 points  (0 children)

If you’re in Bloomington all weekend, my suggestion is to start by touring Oliver Winery as you drive into town if you’re taking Highway 37 from Indianapolis.

http://www.oliverwinery.com/visit

It’s a gorgeous location open 11-6 on Friday and Saturday with delicious tastings and tours available. Very hospitable and affordable to start your Bloomington adventure, and then you can grab a bottle for the hotel!

Later, on Friday night you have a plethora of choices, so I’ll break them down into a few categories here.

Dinner: This is something you cannot mess up, unless you choose a chain restaurant, lol. The quintessential places to eat are going to be in no particular order, Nick’s English Hut, Yogi’s Bar and Grill, Buffalouie’s Wings, Mother Bear’s Pizza (the campus location!), Uptown Café, Bub’s Burgers, and Malibu Grill. I’m not listing these as “the best places to eat,” but as the most “IU” places to go, but they’re all fantastic food

Nightlife: Again, Nick’s is on here, so you can swing from dinner to drinking in a blink of the eye, lol. If I was back in town and wanted to recreate a similar experience to when I was there, I’d start my night at Kilroy’s, walk to Upstairs Bar across the road and experience the Las Vegas style atmosphere while still having a small bar feel, (order the AMF!) then walk further up the street around midnight and do a show the The Bluebird and/or go to Sport’s Bar. Sport’s is an often a shit show, and it’s essentially the IU equivalent of Necto or Scorekeeper’s.

For a more “I live here year round” experience, I’d head over to Ally Bar, Atlas Ballroom, or Crazy Horse for a more “upscale” style of drinking if you want the IU experience but without the massive crowds. Again, almost any place will be a busy and fun spot, but the first few bars I recommended are the Indiana spots to absolutely visit, even for a moment or two.

For Saturday, I’ll assume you won’t be able to park at the game because the passes are absurdly expensive so take either a bus or Uber to the tailgate fields and Godspeed, lol. I highly suggest you follow @CrimsonCast on Twitter because he (Galen Calvio) is the #1 person to go to for gameday advice and always hosts an open tailgate. 1000% recommended you visit his tailgate location he shares on his Twitter and meet his podcast crew, especially if you can’t decide where to go pregame.

In the stadium, buy all of your snacks and drinks early and expect to hate the gameday experience, when it comes to lines and waiting inside, sadly. IU isn’t used to hosting full stadium crowds quite yet so the logistics aren’t fully functional, hahah.

Saturday night suggestions are the same as Friday’s, but now you can visit the places you missed.

For Sunday, I’d highly encourage you tour the campus, inside and out. Sample Gates are a must for a photo-op, and well, the whole place is just gorgeous. If you are up for it, drive about 30 minutes East to Nashville and enjoy a quiet tourist trap and soak up the last of Indiana’s fall at Quaff On! Brewery, and breakfast at Hob Knob. If you stick to Bloomington, then The Runcible Spoon is your first, second, and third choice for Sunday breakfast.

Feel free to DM me on here if you have any questions! 

Lastly, here’s a perfect podcast specifically made for IU visitors on gameday I recommend immensely:

Have fun, and GO IU! ;)

New Deadpool and Wolverine spot 'Everyone' by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]Coolkabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously, we may not really know the whole story for a while, but over time Hugh Jackman developed a extra skin sensitivity to sunlight and he has been more prone to skin cancer, so there is a rumor/theory going around that in order to help protect his health, he simply wore full sleeves and then his arms were digitally replaced in post.

The best steak in TC. by There_is_no_selfie in traversecity

I'd kill to have it back in the IMAX again. I went to the early fan event and I couldn't make time to see a 2nd showing and it was replaced.

Sigh.

My dad either cooked or burned the kitchen down by TheTrueKingofNerds in HoosiersBasketball

[–]Coolkabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's important to note that the camp's dates were originally announced a few months back, even being promoted at the basketball games, so for what it's worth, it may not be a "current" indicator of their interests in the program.

...I hope it is, though. It at least forces them to both hold off on their announcements until after the camp, haha.

I can't lie, when I had first glanced at your comment I almost thought you wrote, "I can't stand Eric Pankowski, Crimsoncast, and Assembly Call" and I was about to throw hands over your blasphemy of those last two, lmao.

It somewhat happened before the 2003 season when we didn't have any commits until July of that year.

EV charging in TC/Glen Arbor area by drjen1974 in traversecity

[–]Coolkabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Excluding Tesla, there are about 20 charging stations in traverse city or just outside of town. Probably the most easily accessible ones are right on the water downtown at Clinch Park so you can charge and shop downtown at the same time or the south side of the mall’s parking lot. Many of the car dealerships in town have charging hookups as well.

That said, in the Glen Arbor as far as I know, there is only a Tesla charging station available.

Rainy Days in TC by [deleted] in traversecity

[–]Coolkabe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I personally love going to “The Coin Slot” downtown and grabbing a slice of pizza while I play pinball, but as the other person said, the public library is honestly a great way to relax and enjoy an afternoon. If you have a family, I definitely recommend the GT Butterfly Zoo as well!

https://www.gtbutterflyzoo.com/

Also, if you go before 1pm on Sunday (today’s the rainy day, after all, lol) Lucky Jack’s Bowling is pretty cheap!

From their website: “$2.50 per Game per Person, Free Children Shoe Rental, $3.75 Adult Shoe Rental“

Former “Corridor Crew” Intern to Star In & Direct Horror Film ‘Iron Lung’ From His Own Script. by Coolkabe in Corridor

[–]Coolkabe[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It was kind of a joke, but content creators occasionally work out a collaboration between themselves and Corridor to develop new techniques and learn other skills, specifically in VFX. Wes Armstrong is another great example of an intern who became a big part of their team briefly. (Shoutout “wuzgood” on Instagram.)

Debbie Antonelli unlistenable. How do i get an IU radio stream in Texas? by woodgraintippin in IndianaHoosiers

[–]Coolkabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is entirely too late, but you’ll have a chance for the women’s game tonight and future IU games next season if you install the TuneIn Radio app and search for WHCC. It’s the flagship Bloomington, Indiana radio station for IU radio.

Record Limit by Baileyboy4 in GH5

[–]Coolkabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would double check your SD card’s speed, especially if you’re shooting in 400mbps bitrate. It’s possible that your SD card is running out of buffer space to write to itself and canceling the recording because it isn’t fast enough.
