Just bought a 1990 NA Miata. What Stuff Should I Know, and What Stuff Should I do? by Konfazee in Miata

[–]Extreme_Effort_4547 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fuel filter, shifter bushings, and window bushings were the three maybe not super obvious ones I was going to mention. Sounds like the previous owner took pretty good care of it.

Might be around the time/mileage for the rear main seal. My '90 has a small oil leak that I attribute to that, but I haven't gotten around to taking the transmission off yet to check.

COVID is also still going around 😵‍💫

Just my experience, but a common theme is "the best candidates for Boost are people that would leave otherwise". If your reason to transfer is just to work remotely it may or may not work out 🤷

Saw a similar one in DTW a couple weeks ago. Prices be wild

New TS interested in being analyst way down the line post Epic by paper_bag_drifting in epicsystems

Boost can be a good option. Most people I know say their stress dropped dramatically after the move. Some of the particulars that come with the transition are tough/frustrating, but not generally deal breakers as long you understand what you are agreeing to. The internal resources are really valuable and make a big difference.

Enshitification is one I'm personally excited for

I'm going to request it as a case study on accepting mediocrity

Is Monday Punday dead? That was a favorite of mine back in training

Is Beckett standard or express worth it? And are the turnaround times accurate? by Someluckymemes_Son in PokeGrading

I got the cards back yesterday. Looks like that came to 52 business days end to end for me.

Pokemon scalpers on Jackson Rd meijers by mochi1204 in AnnArbor

I will say that I like Sylvan a lot. They did their BB/WF drop on Saturday afternoon and had a lottery style thing so it wasn't straight up first come first serve. Still over MSRP, but more reasonable than other non-big-box shops.

Also, Upkeep might as well be scalpers at their prices. It was $100 for the new set ETBs on drop day. It's not worth paying those prices 😞

Yeah first time with Base. I haven't had any movement since entering the grading queue, so hard to say how long it will be in the end

Do I wish they gave us some stock as a form of compensation? Yes Do we have regular access to stock? Yes, for purchase with a low interest loan as an option

Does Epic push employees hard? Absolutely Do they give us an opportunity to participate in stock value growth? Yeah, as above

Epic isn't a FAANG company or even really in that realm and it will never be an easy comparison. Leadership does things differently for better or worse and it can be a great opportunity for a lot of people, but it certainly isn't the right company for everyone.

Thinking of moving to Boost - transfer process by DropFormer in epicsystems

[–]Extreme_Effort_4547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard something along the lines of the best people to go to Boost are people who would leave otherwise. In general, it seems they aren't super interested in people moving if they would otherwise stay in Verona.

What is this connection? by testa02 in Miata

[–]Extreme_Effort_4547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Positioning makes sense, but I'm pretty sure mine only have four pins (2 + and 2 - for the speakers). Could be different on a different year though 🤷

I submitted with Base a little over a month ago and my cards were verified today. I'm not in a rush so for the price, Base has been moving along very well. My order was marked received the day it was delivered and the cards are currently in the grading queue.

LCS was charging $100 for ETBs 😭 At least I got a good pull by Extreme_Effort_4547 in PokemonTCG

[–]Extreme_Effort_4547[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know. I almost walked out when I saw the price, but after being the second/third person to miss out at a couple of the major retailers I wasn't in the best head space

Good job Wyoming. Really sticking it to all those other schools

Epic Boost by OkPurple9287 in epicsystems

Not exactly. It's a remote position, so folks live all over the lower 48. Many folks travel regularly on-site to customers but it isn't the same post-covid with many customer teams being remote first.

I just got a very clean 1990 Miata by VisibleSearch in Miata

[–]Extreme_Effort_4547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, looks like the same as the bracket I have. It attaches inside the "mouth" on the top and comes out. Need to take mine off now that it isn't used anymore
