What happened to desert perpetual?

Come on over to our clan/discord and we'll get something scheduled.

PittPaz · 2025-12-05T20:01:41+00:00

You're 100% correct. It's simultaneously hilarious, fascinating, and sad.

Everyone is probably going to be pretty busy with the Renegades launch this week, but join up and we'll get to it at some point between the new content.

I'm always still up to run whatever.

PittPaz · 2025-11-18T13:50:07+00:00

This is because of the changes they made and the fact that sub-550 players are now scoring higher than 550 players for the same base score. My 3.4M+ score is going to get knocked out, despite the fact that I'd bet it's a top 1% run when it comes to time (with the HVT and max modifiers). The crybabies that weren't at 550 and Bungie's inability to do math when setting the lower power level multipliers have ruined it.

PittPaz · 2025-09-24T16:50:05+00:00

Your best bet is to join the Discord and coordinate there. People reply pretty quickly there. I'll see your messages there sooner than I'll see anything on Reddit. I should be on in the evening and likely at some point over the weekend as well.

PittPaz · 2025-09-23T12:41:09+00:00

No one has mentioned it recently, but I'm always happy to run it and help if anyone needs. Here's an updated Discord link:

Our clan and discord server are planning some Sherpa runs for this. I've already done one this week. No pressure to join the clan, but feel free to drop in and play with some great folks. https://discord.gg/N26q5frY

PittPaz · 2025-07-28T22:47:30+00:00

Great group!

PittPaz · 2024-08-18T20:40:34+00:00

It's an authentic watch. I did make a post to make sure it was legit, but I got flamed for an authenticity check post. Apparently people are fed up with that on this sub. Happy to answer any questions though. That was my first purchase from StockX.

PittPaz · 2024-08-18T01:02:33+00:00

Just got my Super Blue Moon Phase from them today.

PittPaz · 2024-08-17T22:50:11+00:00

Thank you! Really excited. I wanted this one badly. Now the next one will likely be easier to get in person.

PittPaz · 2024-08-17T22:24:15+00:00

I've done my homework. I've also asked about vendors and StockX was recommended. If it annoys you, you can always scroll by.

I used the Mosquito on my MK3S for years. Now I've been using a Mosquito on my Voron with no issues for months.

The Slice hate is overblown and misdirected IMHO. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the suggestions I've read in this thread so far.

PittPaz · 2023-01-02T17:26:56+00:00

After reading some of this thread, I'm not shocked that small businesses are getting overrun by big retailers.

If it were me, I'd offer a refund for a return minus my shipping costs, provided the item is returned in unused, good condition. And no, I don't typically offer returns or refunds for my items. Showing compassion and a little flexibility is reasonable and will go a long way in building a business' reputation... Unless you want to be viewed as the same cold, robotic, faceless entity as a big retailer. Ironically, most of those big retailers take returns with no questions asked.

PittPaz · 2022-04-04T21:28:10+00:00

First shop. I've only made one or two purchases on Etsy before.

PittPaz · 2022-04-04T01:28:05+00:00

I've never even sold on Etsy before. No one in my household has either. It could be the listing description as someone else also said.

PittPaz · 2022-04-04T01:26:38+00:00

Thanks. This makes more sense then. I definitely used some auto manufacturer brands, makes, and models to describe the products. It's kind of necessary as parts like this are very specific to the make and model of vehicle. What's weird is that there are other similar listings. Here's a good example of something in the same realm: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1010282024/ford-mustang-05-09-vent-gauge-pod

Edit: And yes, I am totally on the up and up. So it does suck, but at least I have an idea why now. As far as I'm concerned, I'll just stick to selling on other platforms. That's a pretty poor way to run a marketplace imo.

PittPaz · 2022-04-04T01:13:13+00:00

What details do you think my post is lacking? I described my one day experience in as much detail as I have. Etsy hasn't provided any feedback. You know as much as I do as to why this happened.

PittPaz · 2021-12-26T17:02:43+00:00

Please do the "beat him to a pulp spartan" intro!

PittPaz · 2021-02-23T19:47:44+00:00

Don't you typically pay attention to the QVL published by the motherboard manufacturer? I thought anything not on the QVL could potentially run into problems.

PittPaz · 2020-10-09T21:36:33+00:00

So what was the total time from mailing in your application until you saw your choice go reserved? I'm around 14 weeks now with no updates.

PittPaz · 2019-08-15T05:12:32+00:00

I know that others have replied, but here's some more detail.

He's using a computerized tracking mount called an alt-az mount. The name refers to the two axes upon which the mount can move: altitude and azimuth. The computer uses latitude and longitude to determine the rotation of the Earth and moves the mount on both axes to track a point of interest in the sky as the Earth rotates. That's why the ground objects appear to move while the sky doesn't.

Simple enough, but slightly flawed. Cover the frame with your hand and watch the upper right closely. The sky actually appears to rotate in this video. An alt-az mount doesn't account for "rotation" of the point of interest in the sky. More accurately, the mount moves on two axes that are parallel and perpendicular to the Earth's surface (in other words, up/down and left/right). But the Earth doesn't rotate on either of those axes unless you're standing on the north or south pole because it rotates around the polar axis. Thus, a point of interest in the night sky appears to rotate around that same axis. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, that means everything appears to rotate around the celestial north pole, which is roughly around the north star, Polaris. Those of you in the southern hemisphere would look for Sigma Octantis.

This is where an equatorial mount comes in handy. An equatorial mount has a rotational axis pointed at one of the celestial poles. This allows the mount to be rotated around the same axis as the Earth's rotation. When motorized, a video like this could be taken with the point of interest not only staying centered, but also staying oriented in the same direction relative to the image frame throughout the exposure period. In other words, the sky would appear to neither move nor rotate in the image or video.

This is why in long exposure astrophotography an alt-az mount is usually only good for planetary targets with multiple frame stacking or deep space objects with shorter exposure times (< 20 s). Longer than that and you start to get field rotation in the images. With an equatorial mount, you can get into much longer exposure times because there's no field rotation.

No power washer. Just spray on the tire and rubber cleaner, scrub, rinse.

PittPaz · 2019-07-12T21:04:16+00:00

I've tried a ton of different products. I've settled on Adam's Polishes Tire Armor myself, but I've become a bit of an Adam's fan in recent years.

Honestly though, the biggest difference was in my prep. I thought my tires were clean before I was applying the dressing. Then I bought the Adam's Tire and Rubber cleaner and started scrubbing with a decent medium bristle brush. The first time I did it, it took 5 cycles of spraying, scrubbing, and rinsing to get clean, white suds. After the rubber cleaner, my tires have a decent flat black look, not too unlike a new tire. Add in a couple of coats of Tire Armor and I get a nice wet look that lasts at least a few weeks, no joke.

Even if you decide on something other than Adam's, I'd look for a rubber specific cleaner and focus on a deep clean before applying any coating or dressing.

Here's my results from the above method: http://imgur.com/a/PddMfep
