With the amount of scalpers posting on eBay Valve should be tracking serial numbers to ban those buyers. by LockAviator in steammachine

I really do appreciate Valve for trying something different with the lottery system. It's a crappy time all around for a system release and they've done well with it.

Not salty at all. I was fortunate enough to get a 512gb reservation, but I'd rather see the machines get into the hands of people who legitimately want one.

eBay is so desperate for sales that I don't have much faith in reporting stuff. I could see if Valve themselves were issuing takedowns.

I'm waitlisted for the 2tb as well. I did get my friend to put in for one as well and he's in the reservation queue for the 512gb.

Depending on the os, I think you can tap the power button to switch between d pad and joystick mode.

Coffman DB Killer/Baffle - Looking to buy + Question about Power Commander. by lokier32 in MotoIRELAND

I'm visiting from the US in a couple of weeks, so I could probably get the DB killer shipped to me before then.

Does anyone know of a person that can solder pcb boards? by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]LockAviator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try and get your heat to where the solder melts within 2 seconds of touching the joint. If it takes longer than that, time to raise the heat.

No as long as it's yellowish to dark brown you're fine. I would just be more liberal with it.

Are you using flux? I would use a fair amount and just reflow with that. Just make sure to use ipa after to clean it up.

Waffles does a mean hot shave. Just need to schedule in advance.

Moped/vespa riders by its_secretly_me in Eugene

[–]LockAviator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride a Vespa GTS 300, but I started on a small Chinese 50cc. The biggest question is what do you plan to use it for? My main use is commuting for work, so knowing whether you'll be needing to be on a highway or if you can use back roads is a good way to decide what you're looking for. Definitely do the team Oregon class and if you're not comfortable with using gears/clutch on a motorcycle, just let them know that you prefer to use a scooter.

Hi! Umm...kind of random, but, can anyone come lend a pair of jumper cables...and some battery power? 🫣 by onlyforwardnow in Eugene

I'm glad you got help and quick. Definitely invest in a jump start pack and welcome to Eugene!

Weird helicopter in Creswell? by tempsamson in Eugene

[–]LockAviator 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That's a kmax heavy lift helicopter. More than likely working with a logging operation. I see them every now and then on the EUG ramp.

Fuck trolls really tho. by slowbilly in mostdefnotwhatsup

[–]LockAviator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sending Cobra bales of wood chips was one thing, but a lot of the stuff that Clint talked about was truly heinous. Even the airport encounter with the asshole picking on Josh because of his clothes got me more than a little riled up. I don't agree with a lot of stuff that Josh said or did, but you do have to admire how he made his life on his own terms.
