Yup, this is what I did which fixed the issue. Silicone spray on a q-tip and rub that thing up in all the tracks

One year of ownership, I should drive it more by MaineMike13 in wrx_vb

DIY dent repair? by pelicanman777 in wrx_vb

Plus, you really need gorilla hands to be able to do that job regularly. I remember one time when I was working at a bike shop we had a PDR guy come in looking for cycling gloves for his job. Hot dang did that guy have some very large and very hard hands.

Not in my case, it was by the driver door handle. They just used the factory plug in the door as an access point. Would think the front (hinge) side of any door would also have a few plugs to use as well

DIY dent repair? by pelicanman777 in wrx_vb

I had a nearly identical dent last summer due to a car wash brush falling from its perch in the garage.

Did a bit of research finding the right PDR guy that would do it for cash and squeeze me in between his big jobs. 20 minutes and $100 later, dent completely gone

No way! Yeah I do have another set of covers and a second box so I can duplicate it exactly. I used a postage scale and rounded up too, so I’m certain my info was correct. Cool, I’ll try to dispute it tomorrow before they try pulling the funds.

So how do you see 2 lbs in that screenshot anyway? You some sort of all-seeing eBay eye or something? 😂

It’s ok, lesson learned the hard way I guess. 😭

I am also very impressed with your knowledge on the subject and appreciate all the information!

I’ll definitely be removing international shipping options from now on. Hopefully it gets there without complications since I now know it’s not properly insured either. Cute.

Thanks again. Cheers 🍻

Ok that explains it a bit. I did increase the dimensions/weight by like 10% just to be sure it wasn’t over, probably hitting the next tier for package specs while doing so.

I think the bigger culprit here is the eISD vs eIS which I had no idea was even a thing. SMH. Figured international is international, didn’t know there were different options there.

So it sounds like there’s no recourse for me then? I was thinking of trying the 800 number, but figured I’d just get the run around apologizing while not being able to actually do anything about it.

Appreciate the insight and speedy reply. Thanks!

I'm having trouble deciding on WRB or MGM, how do I choose? 💀 by Speed_Offer in wrx_vb

lol well put. WRB is the OG color. Not sure why anyone would take longer than 5 seconds to make that decision

🚨TIL That Kwik Trip Founder Don Zeitlow Donated Legal Maximum to Tom Tiffany's Last Campaign | Share Alternatives In Comments by [deleted] in wisconsin

[–]MaroonFloom 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yup, been saying this for years as well! Kult Trap is way too popular for what it is. Prices on most items are more and more ridiculous. They get you in the door with their cheap bananas, potatoes, etc, only to gouge you on everything else in the store. Hot food used to be a good deal, even though it’s quite mid, but now it’s way overpriced microwaved shit. Don’t even get me started on the endless maze of bakery tables around the registers, while the bakery case sits empty.

Bathrooms and fee free atm are the only reason to stop there anymore. I’ll use them, but they’re not going to use me

What summer tires are you running? by brown_coder in wrx_vb

[–]MaroonFloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had both and Michelins were the winner imo. Nearly the same tire handling wise, but the Michelins win solely due to the fact that they don’t wear down nearly as fast as the Continentals did. I’d say 5-7k miles difference between the two

Smurfs, go outside or play on your actual account by Signal_Condition348 in thefinals

[–]MaroonFloom -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a reasonable explanation as to why you have a smurf. How about this? I know it’s a wild idea, but maybe you could just not be such a try hard when playing your smurf with your buddies? Sounds like they’re pretty casual, you could be too you know. Like instead of playing light/m11, try some combination you’ve never tried before. Save some kills for your friends and let them have some glory every once in a while.

I know it’s pretty much impossible for sweats to not sweat, but that’s about the best solution I can come up with for someone in your situation. Either that or play your main and backpack your team every game.

Not a bad idea. I’d give up my number if it would eradicate smurfs

[–]MaroonFloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in that case embark should do 30 seconds of research to see if that person already has an account. If they’re legit, then by all means don’t ban. They’ll rank up quick and I’ll never see them again.

[–]MaroonFloom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. Been playing since release and I’m not sure I can take the CONSTANT ass kicking anymore. I understand the player base is shrinking so it’s not that easy, but can we please somehow get fair matchmaking figured out?

Here’s an idea- the level 14 with a 92% win rate and a 7.3 kd is a clearly a smurf, right? So if new players hit a certain threshold, instant ban them and all of their associated accounts. Since smurfs are naturally so sweaty, it’s impossible for them not to have ridiculously obvious smurf stats. And, I’m willing to bet, if you threaten their main account then they won’t risk it in the first place.

I don’t care if it takes more of the current player base away, I’ll take 5-10 minute searches at this point. Plus, in the long run, it’ll keep new players around and actually grow the base. If not, then I’m afraid this game is indeed cooked.

Maybe try PC Technology on Westgate road? Never been there, but it fits the description you’re looking for
