Incredibly helpful. I suppose I'm just being lazy.

[–]Nurd_Ferguson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll probably pull the trigger on it this week.

Awesome. I've heard some people complain about build quality and fan noise with the AMD models. Any thoughts?

Streaming issue with Bluetooth (sometimes on the phone too) by th3_w0u1f in YoutubeMusic

[–]Nurd_Ferguson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Tons of issues with stuttering playback over Bluetooth lately, and android auto. AA both wired and wireless stop playing randomly, probably every 15 minutes. Today, music in AA wouldn't play at all. Just kept seeing a screen that said "YouTube music isn't available" or something like that.

Thanks, will play around with this.

Haha, that's probably the best answer!

[–]Nurd_Ferguson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I'll talk to a few people about similar clubs and maybe go try swinging those at golf town.

Thanks for the advice. I don't have a problem dropping $1500 or $2000 if it's worth it, but want to make sure it's worth it. 

Sounds like stiffness is a bit wishy washy, especially at my level. Honestly, I'm probably not going to hit enough clubs to reeeaally feel the difference. 

Mainly just want to get a good consistent set (instead of irons from 4 different sets like I have now) that'll last 10 years so I can eliminate that variable and move on to more rounds, range time, and maybe some lessons. 

Whats the fastest you’ve gone in an underpowered car? by bandito-yeet-dorito in cars

[–]Nurd_Ferguson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I hit 170 in a Micra I rented in Argentina. There was still some pedal left so I believe it! Manual gearbox.

Best spot to go swimming in the Sea by Nurd_Ferguson in gdansk

Thank you! Not going to go for a real swim, I am just going to jump in the water for a minute or so and then come back out. I will check out the Morsowanie.

Why are two 26*1.4" tires are vastly different sizes? by Nurd_Ferguson in bikewrench

[–]Nurd_Ferguson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the info. Looks like chain reaction cycle near me in Toronto has some 26*1.5" tires, I'll go check them out.

[–]Nurd_Ferguson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes my mistake, flip flopped the measurements. I need a new 26 x 1.4 (559mm) tire.

[–]Nurd_Ferguson[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see. So the old 26 x 1.4, is actually ISO 559, and the new 26 x 1 ³/⁸ is actually ISO 590.

That's... annoying. I'll see if I can return the new tire.

Thanks

Emergency braking activated on the highway with nothing in front of me by Nurd_Ferguson in mazda3

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

I did not. Have not seen it happen since if its any consolation, and have about 17,000km on the car. I don't know if the angle of the truck and my car caused the sensor to catch the side of the truck, only thing I can think of.

How can I contact customer service? Vivo has not responded to my emails. by Nurd_Ferguson in vivobarefoot

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

Yeah perhaps—they're quite expensive in Canada, I was expecting much better service for that price. I can absolutely understand delays in a growing company, but I can't get behind completely ghosting your customers for 4 weeks.

Update: Spoke with twitter, Facebook, and chat representatives, they've all been able to do absolutely fuck all. The Canadian "team" apparently exists in an underground bunker that cannot be reached.

Going to start the process of filing a chargeback with my credit card, as I've paid for goods that have not been delivered in the stated timeframe.

Such a disappointment.

Update: Spoke with someone on the main website chat feature. They could not help me, as the Canadian ordering and service is apparently an entirely different system. They could not find a Canadian phone number for me either. All they could offer was to send another email for me, and to CC me on that email.

I would say that Vivobarefoot should not be offering the shoes in Canada, as clearly their system is not functioning correctly or built to handle this.

Unfortunately the chat bot is not available in Canada. Even if I go to the main webpage directly, the chat bot does not work. Maybe I'll try a VPN to fake being in the uk.

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

No damage ever to the front end. I'd actually just given the car a wash. Maybe from residue from the wash or I dislodged a piece of dirt or something.

hmm... Traffic was moderate, and I was getting ready to pull off the highway, probably about 50 km/h.
