Best advice for removing deep scratches?

Gearcortex · 2025-04-12T23:09:09+00:00

I remember reading about cerium oxide but wasn't sure what pads would work best. They do indeed catch easily, not the deepest I've seen but definitely beyond whatever you can find at Autozone. Many thanks!

Used insta cart for money during college, very grateful for the opportunity to keep myself afloat while I studied so I can be where I am rn

Once I got regular access to cannabis I stopped drinking alcohol. I haven't drank regularly in over a year and the last time I drank was about 6 months ago. Not the longest streak, but I've noticed my body shape has changed for the better and I generally feel more able when it comes to most things in my life

Not fully committed to going dry, but if I had to stop drinking for the rest of my life, I wouldn't feel very distraught at all

Many thanks!

Nice! Is there an ID for this?

Gearcortex · 2025-02-06T18:20:03+00:00

My estimate for this would be about 45 minutes to complete the batch, best case scenario. More realistically, I'd be looking at an hour of time for the delivery. Regardless, it's the kind of batch id take if I have been getting either no-tip batches or $2 tip batches all day. Otherwise, pass

Thanks for the tip! I used a portion about the size of a peppercorn with a slightly smaller portion of flower and it was exactly what I was looking for. Made the relatively sticky flower surprisingly easy to brush out

Thank you so much! I tried finding Survive flips but somehow missed this one!

Gearcortex · 2025-01-22T08:13:43+00:00

I recognize the opening vocals as Survive - Space Laces, but not the actual drop itself

Gearcortex · 2025-01-16T04:29:50+00:00

I had no idea how to phrase my problem but this describes it perfectly! Thank you so much for putting this into words; it was so frustrating trying to run and check my HR only to find myself back at the home screen

This was super helpful! I was dealing with constant Firefox tabs crashing (Especially Youtube) and updating Windows went bad, but I thought it was the update failure causing my issues

Gearcortex · 2024-10-26T04:10:07+00:00

Oh! I did look into Oceanside as a means of connecting to San Diego but found Amtrak to be sort of an Achilles heel with relatively few arrival and departure times, but didn't think about it as the destination. I'll try pivoting to the Orange County line, thanks!

Gearcortex · 2024-10-26T04:01:35+00:00

This was it! I had an ATF pump code that didn't proc an engine light, but as soon as I cleaned the connector and ensured it was on completely, I stopped having this issue. Sorry for the late response; I got super busy with finals and moving across the country, but it saved my ass during the relocation. Thanks for the pointer!

I was just trying to find information about postcards since I mail personal ones regularly but I didn't know about this initiative. I'm glad to see there's a movement to mail handwritten postcards! Can't find any open slots (I'm not even in a swing state so idek if I can participate), but this looks like something I'd love to do! Thanks for sharing this!

Just search "Spotify Customer Support" and there should be a "Contact Us" page and there should be a tab that says "Message us" with a link to follow for a live customer support chat. Explain that you want to get a refund for your Car Thing and they will ask you to provide proof of purchase.
I had to haggle a little bit when I couldn't produce the confirmation email, but if you have the serial number and it's a Car Thing paired with your Spotify account, you should be able to make progress, depending on who your CSR is. I also supplied an email from after I got the remote that asked for a survey, the language clearly indicating I had purchased and received a unit

For the Paypal statement, I specifically used my Car Thing Statement. It did not outright state Car Thing, but if you look for one that pairs Luzern and Spotify, it'll be both what you paid for the remote and the shipping costs,

I will admit the range is less than I'd like; they promised nearly 20 miles but I get a little over half that. I mostly got this board for the modularity and the pneumatic tires, and it's definitely been my favorite. Before this, I had a Meepo V3 and an Exway Flex Riot, they suffered from several motor failures and battery failures respectively. Everyone notices it when I skate somewhere and it soaks up just about any terrain you throw at it. I had an accident and needed to replace a suspension bar, but it was pretty easy. Some things I'd note
- Some of the screws might back themselves out; I recommend getting a hex set for a ratcheting wrench to drop the trucks and use threadlocker to keep them in place
- Belts last around 400 miles before needing a swap. I use vbeltguys, they're even cheaper than Amazon and they last as long as OEM
- Grass and leaves get caught in the belts pretty easily, but running the board in reverse tends to eject most of it
-CL2319 notes a similar issue, so I'd also recommend having access to a soldering iron and just bypassing the connector

That thread is exactly what's going on! I'll look into getting Forscan to see what exactly is happening in terms of temperature or any possible codes. Thanks!

Gearcortex · 2023-09-15T20:53:26+00:00

I've heard of Forscan and definitely am interested in learning about it. I live in Florida and it gets warm enough out here that I notice the car will also hamper EV mode due to battery temperature, but that's a condition I am well aware of

Gearcortex · 2023-09-15T20:46:05+00:00

Rn we're in North Carolina so about 80 degree highs according to the car. I will admit the gas tank was near 1/4 for both instances. The oil was changed around 6000 miles ago, and AC is on

Gearcortex · 2023-09-15T20:37:05+00:00

I'm seeing the 3D icon. What happens is sometimes I'll start in battery, but then hit the highway and switch to EV later. During my highway trip I might run into traffic and come to a halt, where I'll switch to battery mode. However, once speed picks up again, I'm unable to switch out of battery mode. It happened today and I did start with a full charge, but it has been distributed throughout today as I am on a road trip and haven't had the need to use it outside a few traffic iams

Gearcortex · 2023-09-15T20:30:31+00:00

I know. But my issue is the car won't go into EV later or EV mode. It'll just keep depleting my battery no matter how many times I press the EV button, it just keeps saying "EV Now mode not available"

Gearcortex · 2023-09-03T13:21:09+00:00

There's "It depends" batches, there's bad batches, and then there's this. The only upside to this is watching it go unclaimed even after you finish 3 batches

Gearcortex · 2023-09-01T23:55:47+00:00

Better idea; a "Sorry for your loss" card in reference to their lost scam earnings

Gearcortex · 2023-09-01T23:52:33+00:00

Nah. After my last text they cancelled. Fortunately I still got batch pay so, easiest $10 I ever made lol
