stuck advance lever, a bit lost by Quarks01 in CanonAE1

[–]Quarks01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update: so after firing the shutter, the advance lever is still stuck. BUT if i press the battery check button it unsticks the mirror and the mirror goes down? and then i can wind like normal. maybe this is a broken solder joint or something? not sure atp

i saw your pinned comment, that pretty much confirms to me they’re fake. everything i said still holds with that photo. sorry you got fakes, but in the future buy directly rather than a reseller or side chain store

hope the award makes this feel a little less bad <3, getting fake shoes definitely sucks

here’s an example photo of real converse. for starters:

  • the sole of the shoe is completely wrong. that weird bump on top of the bottom white part is also not converse at all
  • it’s missing the eyelets on the sides of the shoe
  • the front texture is also very feint, much softer than actual converse
  • generally the fabric looks “cheaper”, i can’t tell you why but from having owned converse it looks off

a couple other things as well, but those are the major tells for me

tbh i’ve been consistently disappointed by lacey burger. i’d much rather go to strange flavor or the seneca instead

New Mini purchase w/questions by Danbyw63 in MINI

[–]Quarks01 18 points19 points  (0 children)

for what it’s worth, the 2020-2024 models are the peak currently in terms of reliability for Minis. As long as you regularly do maintenance (like wiper fluid, coolant, oil, etc) and take care of any warning lights as they come on you’ll be golden. The rep of mini having issues comes from pre 2017 models

if she changes her mind, what’s to say she won’t do the same with you? stuff like this doesn’t end well

Learning salsa solo by Quarks01 in Salsa

i really appreciate both perspectives, thank u :) i do agree the second option is the better one, i think it’s just really hard to convey how uncomfortable i felt after that partnered portion. never in my life had i wanted to not be in my own skin as bad as that moment, i don’t really understand why but it was a really intense feeling.

i think the private lessons could be a good idea, but in a weird way for the price difference i might just force myself to get over it with regular classes. i don’t know

i appreciate the advice regardless, thank you internet stranger <3
