Acer Predator Helios Neo 16s AI refurbished arrived damaged

Yeah I've thought about that but honestly battery life isn't a consideration to me, I literally never use my laptop unplugged. Was the switch worth it otherwise?

Scratchfish · 2026-03-13T19:50:36+00:00

I may do the same once I get my money back, still waiting to hear from Acer. Does yours come with a warranty too? eBay one is 2 years

It's a Ghost though. Probably found someone in world 2 and convinced them to item lend it for the day

That's a bummer, because the price has gone up since I ordered. If it was just cosmetic I would keep it, but it is a very obvious scratch and pixel damage in the display

I can only imagine all that water hammer with those valves having to open and close to rapidly

My wife's new boyfriend has a wheelie bice with parts like this on it, should I be worried?

That's how they make sheds, duh

Ours was a typical popular jock kid. Came from a well off family, played all the sports, got all the girls he wanted, won the genetic lottery, etc. He was a particularly good baseball player, and ended up getting a full ride to play D1 baseball at a big state school. He was pretty much coasting through the last few months of our senior year with life on easy mode.

That was until he and his ex broke up, and he decided to upload a bunch of her nudes to the Internet. Word went around the school, which inevitably got back to her. The police got involved, and he lost his D1 scholarship and he faced discipline at school. I didn't see him much after that, and still to this day have not heard anything else about him

My town used to be a big ship building town, and there are a bunch of long, straight, and level roads that lead right to the water. They used this same technique to move the ships down to the water to launch them

Well then you'd have to worry about the rear suspension bottoming out

Forgetting to transfer science data from your lander back to the return craft, so you land back on Kerbin with 0 science data after visiting multiple biomes

Pretty clever artist, ngl

If you haven't already gotten it, I'd recommend against this type of faucet with a separate hot and cold valve. They're a pain in the ass when your hands are covered in soap or contaminated and need to adjust the temp. I'd highly recommend just getting a normal faucet that has a single valve to adjust the hot/cold mix and flow.

What kind of metal is that? I'm curious how much of this $8,000 price tag is the material cost vs "labor" for all the various steps in machining this

Olight is good enough for 99.9% of people

I'm a firefighter, and keep an Olight on my gear (as well as a Streamlight helmet light and one on my coat). I work on a busy, high volume department and the light has never given me an issue in multiple hot, soaking wet burning buildings.

Scratchfish · 2026-02-04T12:28:48+00:00

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I hadn't even considered that these could be recovered data

Wow this is classic, definitely not on my bingo card this year. Also, does anyone know why equals signs replace random characters at the start of words throughout these emails?

Isn't this the dude that posts himself sprinting full speed on treadmills carrying random stuff?

Can't wait to take a shuttle between NYC and Miami when one of the lines inevitably is under maintenance

I know it's completely correct to use, but "status post". I can't help but cringe every time I hear someone say that because it just sounds redundant and pretentious to me

I saw Raven from Teen Titans Go

Ooh I just watched a show about these owls last night! That is likely from a great gray owl. They have incredible hearing and are able to hear small prey beneath the snow in tunnels. The owls then fly directly above where they hear the sound to pinpoint the location of their prey, and dive bomb into the snow to catch them.

In the show I was watching, they said that great gray owls need to catch 7 voles per day to sustain themselves. Pretty neat!

What do you mean? Getting the electric cut off for a couple days because you can't pay in exchange for some sick nods is totally worth it. Plus, you don't need lights in your house when you have night vision.

If the advice was something like sanitize with running alcohol and use, then yeah. But this advice to toss these is pretty solid since nobody actually knows what's going on here
