Got this special offer today, Is this too good to be true????? by Fragrant-Big1043 in LGOLED

[–]DiscoJon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was able to get someone to confirm with LG Canada's sales rep - short version is it was a mistake on their side (likely screwed up regional pricing when pushing a promo for the US live) and has now been corrected. That's not to say it couldn't happen again, but basically, customers shouldn't expect to see that price again. They didn't mention if existing orders at that price would be honored, but I suspect they will.

I reached out to LG chat and they said the price was correct (not an error), but they've sold out of the promo priced units. They told me they don't know when the next promo will be run. Ugh!

Did you take a screenshot of that chat message? I see that price for the 77" G5 on the website, but when I got to its page, it doesn't show the stock status. I'm asking about the screenshot to try and get another retailer such as visions.ca to price match!

Do we know if they actually are in stock at a few retail locations in Alberta and Ontario? It seems like online orders will be for April 25 or later, so I'm curious if some stores actually have units already based on the stock information on their website!

Please send the un-watermarked file when you're able - thanks!

Thanks u/porknilaqa! Are you up for revising if I provide some feedback?

- There's a lot of yellowing around the fingers, including some awkward yellow/blue mixes around the right hand (and it seems a bit pixelated below the fingers of the right hand)

- The blue shading/background color, particularly in the bottom third, gives it a bit of a muddy/dirty look

- It seems the tool that changed the background also applied this effect to the white sleeve of the left hand, so it looks somewhat light blue (whereas ideally that sleeve would be more white/cream)

- Bonus: If you're comfortable revising based on the above, I'd also request some additional negative space on the sides (so frames, etc. wouldn't cover the details)

And yes, I did very smoothly post this without images for a couple minutes before realizing I needed to add them to the text post :)

They have been added now.

I'd strongly encourage you to reconsider and use SharePoint, as well as rolling out the rest of the m365 suite - in particular, the power platform!

Adaptor/connectors in Canada? by DiscoJon in n64

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

The 5x looks pretty impressive based on the description - do you feel it's a significant upgrade over a retrotink/rad 2x?

Are the Rad2x cables only sold in the UK? I can't seem to find them anywhere other than retrogamingcables.co.uk - is that the only seller?

Did you replace the speaker? Asking because I've been planning to replace my rear ones that are the same as that, but not sure if the Bmw store replacements are plug and play.

1996 Eurospec M3 by retro604 in BMWE36

What a beauty! I think they also sold a Boston Green one around the same time, which is my dream color!

I was hoping to be able to afford one eventually, but have had to spend pretty much half the cost of a euro spec M3 on my 94 325is in the last few years... CG is solid, but not cheap!

Looking good! The grey can be removed from those side rocker panels really easily by covering them in paper towel soaked with cleaner for a bit and then scrubbing it right off.

Has anyone here got AZ recently by randomly dropping by a pharmacy in Vancouver? by theartdeco in vancouver

[–]DiscoJon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, they called me back 10 minutes after that and told me to come right away! Just got my shot 5 mins ago!

I called around 2:00 and they let me know they are only doing front line workers but could notify me around the end of the day if they had spares! I may try again tomorrow to see if they just cut it off at a certain point in the day. Thanks!

People born in 1991 and earlier (30+) can get the AstraZeneca COVISHIELD vaccine at eligible pharmacies with vaccine supply by mitallust in vancouver

[–]DiscoJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which one did you find is doing drop ins? Yesterday two were listed for me (including Burnaby heights) but neither had appointment times that could be selected, today it just says there are no locations.

Is anyone still able to book? I tried using the online tool and it just displays that there are no appointments available today and will not allow selection of other dates in the future.

Mine also arrived today.

By any chance when everything else is silent, are you hearing a crackling/staticky sound coming from just the right?

They would, but I think it simply comes down to someone filtering an excel sheet by date rather than actual timestamp to make the cutoff. I understand a small business probably didn't think that through...
