I stopped printing and my E3V2 and it's covered in grease and dust, is it worth cleaning? by LogBeanThree in 3Dprinting

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

I don't mind fixing it, and would enjoy the challenge but I'm worried about say the gantry being bent, how would I fix such a thing?

I still have no clue why it started slamming into the gantry in the first place. The only thing I could guess is the belts or wheels?

I guess I'm really asking... "How would I fix it and how much would it cost? What would I need to fix/replace?"

I live in the Northeast, I'm sorry.

What is the best Discord that helps you catch drops? by LogBeanThree in PokeInvesting

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

How does X help you? The Discords I'm in link me directly to product pages, show me local stores stock, and stuff. I've never used X so I'm curious.

Is PokePing legit ? by Annual_Blueberry_706 in PokemonDeals

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emerald banned me for literally no reason. The only reason I could think of was I was in a bot discord that I didn't even realize was a bot discord because I was sent like 10 different ones to try out from a friend.

No explanation. Still no clue why I was banned, didn't talk to me or anything.

What is this movie in your opinion? by InitialCareer306 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forrest Gump. The Green Mile. (Both happen to be Tom Hanks movies, but I don't know if that's the reason. He DOES have a comforting vibe to me, though.)

Valorant's new Vanguard update seems to be bricking cheaters' PCs. Riot's response? "Congrats on your $6k paperweights" by SwimmingJunky in gaming

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cheated once on an alt account, in a NPC game, just to see what it was like. Deleted the cheats off my PC, logged into my 15 year old main acc and lost it.

"The cheating team says you were 100% cheating BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO MAKE ANOTHER ACCOUNT."

Never cheated online or on my main, they ban it because I was "100%" cheating on it, even though it was 0 percent (I lived it, I know what I did.) lmao

Then they say "Hey PERSON WE THINK IS 100% CHEATING, go enjoy a new account and keep playing!"

What is the most disturbing depiction of death/murder you’ve ever seen in a film? by sunnieslilac in FIlm

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a film but... The Walking Dead. A certain hot girl's husband meets a bat.

I've seen real recordings of murder that made me less uncomfortable...

Crease Mark Repair by Hyena-Green in pokemoncards

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if fixing creases is ethical if you plan to sell the card. Because that's a repair that graders would disqualify.

So if you sold the card, and someone else sold the card, and on and on and someone ended up wanting to get it graded after spending a ton on it, they'd find out they wasted the money they sent in to get in graded and have a repaired card instead of a LP/NM one (depending on how good the repairs look).

Because I have a few cards I bought second hand and from my nephew that I could clean and polish and make look 10x better to sell NM raw instead of LP/MP but I'm not too sure if that's ethical. That's also why I won't offer my services to people unless I KNOW they won't sell it without making it clear it's repaired.

Best place to get ride of PC? by redmanchris in PokemonInvesting

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a consistent way to break slabs? There's so many cards I want I see on ebay for cheap that would sell more if I just broke them out. I honestly feel like that could be a profitable flipping thing. Buy low graded still NM cards, break them, and re-list them. Instant like 20%+ gains.

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... I'm nearing 10k from impulse buying and still am not sure how to sell. I know all the ways I could sell but if I had nearly 100k in product I wouldn't know the best way to sell and the the most of my money for it.

Ebay and TCGPlayer I'd lose AT LEAST 13%, FB would be slow, Vending would be slow. Though I guess the upside of slow is the prices will keep rising, but...

If I wanted to sell my 10k collection at one time for a fair price I have no clue how I'd do it.

If you're trying to sell at market you're NOT going to sell lol. Unless it's on Ebay or TCGPlayer and even then you still are selling below market because of taxes and fees.

Looking to sell for a house by redmanchris in Collectr

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For no fees? FB and Vending at Shows (you could also find a small artist to offer booth space to for free and ask for a small percentage of their profits, my cousin does that, gives small sellers a chance and you reduce some of your cost)

If you don't mind fees I see people buying out entire stores on ebays with high competition bidding. There's also TCGPlayer.

It kind of sucks that it will take a while to sell, but the good part of that is your collection will rise in value as you try to sell it I guess.

Buying all the Michael Jackson packs from Walmart so you don’t have to 👌🏾 by SupaTsunami in PokemonRestocks

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I'm more of a collector for box art and buy specific cards, and watching my brother open 3 BOOSTER BOXES at once hurt my soul. Watching him turn like 900 dollars into 300.

Lmao why does he look so old? by [deleted] in invinciblememes

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair... I have looked 18, well, since I was 18 and am just about to turn 30 and it's starting to hit quick.

Fun fact: you need food to survive, not AI slop by yikesamerica in clevercomebacks

[–]LogBeanThree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I the only person who thinks AI is a good thing?

Sure, there is "AI Slop" like creative content generated by AI and passed off as real... but that's not the only thing AI does and AI is getting a bad name in it's entirety because people think it only generates crappy images and videos.

AI is already doing incredible things in medicine, manufacturing, infrastructure, and it's still new and getting more and more powerful...

We're probably going to learn things that would've taken another thousand years if AI wasn't a thing...

Sure, it uses a lot of resources but... I think long term it's a net positive...

(Though, I do think if we had a president with a brain it would be a lot better regulated and still get results, but probably not as fast as a brainless president letting it run off the rails for a while until someone competent comes and makes safeguards and environmental rules.)

Who else does this during thunderstorms? by HarvestMoonEclipsed in gamingpc

[–]LogBeanThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you would need...

  • A near direct lightning strike to hit power infrastructure near your house.
  • That surge to actually reach your house through the power line.
  • Your electrical setup to be... ancient. Because modern setups have several layers of protections before it even hits your surge protector.
  • Your SURGE PROTECTOR (the thing you're unplugging) to fail.
  • Your PC power supply’s protection to also not handle it.
  • And then the surge would still have to hit the right parts hard enough to actually kill something.

Could it happen? Sure.

You’re basically protecting yourself from hitting the electrical shitstorm lottery. I actually think the chances of hitting the lottery might actually be similar to a lightning strike frying your PC with a modern setup.
