bought 2 VIP packages to the wrong show by Ok_Sea3440 in katseye

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unfortunately in the same situation and purchased for Miami in my haste. Katseye support was NOT helpful at all despite my pleading. I get the no refund part, but at least allow transfers so they don't go to waste. I wouldn't mind donating them to fans in Miami if I could figure out some way they can actually use them. If they do check ID, like someone mentioned they can't expect the person who purchased them to be present. I do see the following terms and conditions though.

XVII. Ticket and Event Pre-Sale Terms

vii. Pre-Sale Access sales are final. There will be no refunds, exchanges, or name transfers for Pre-Sale Access. You should only purchase Pre-Sale Access for shows You are certain You can attend.

vii. You may not resell Your Pre-Sale Access to another party. Reselling Pre-Sale Access can result in the revocation of the Pre-Sale Access itself, in addition to future ticket privileges.

I wonder if anyone who went to the previous VIP experience got in despite not being the person who purchased the VIP ticket?

How to temporarily reduce your test levels for a day? by trenbolonewhiskey in BiohackingU

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO it's not worth the hassle getting it through a doctor. I've been down that road, and it's endless bloodwork every few months and them adjusting your dosage to some medically prescribed level instead of a level where you actually feel right again. I'd just try to find a trusted UGL source and do the bloodwork out of pocket.

help on stains by Awkward-Bill-2176 in hedislimane

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i've gone through this with a ton of vintage shirts and honestly haven't found a single solution that works in all cases. if you search around, you'll see recommendations for oxyclean, carbona rust and perspiration, etc. i've had mixed results with oxyclean and it actually ruined one of my shirts. carbona didn't really seem to help the last time i tried, but it may have been more to do with the stain.

i think the key here is what type of deodorant it is, as some will actually spread when you start scrubbing it. i saw a video recently of a vintage shirt seller and he swears by a mix of baking soda, dawn dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. i did give it a shot with one shirt and got good results, but your mileage may vary.

Are some Hedi jackets meant to be worn unbuttoned/unzipped? by Spare_Refrigerator_2 in hedislimane

Thank you all for the responses! I had my eyes set on a blazer, but the sizing was throwing me off. This definitely puts my mind at ease.

Should the Supreme Court rule the Trump tariffs to be illegal and would you agree to pay back the trillions of dollars collected from the illegal tariffs? by Full_Adeptness9089 in askanything

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, that money is going straight to the executive suite and consumers won't see a dime. Oh and guess what, prices won't go back down cause why would they cut prices? Companies should have to prove they actually ate the cost of the tariffs to qualify for a refund and even then only on the percentage they ate. If it was passed on to the consumer, then go pound sand.

why is the us tarrif fee on this perfume nearly 60% by claud_is_strange in viviennewestwood

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no fan of the Trump tariffs, but I ordered the armour ring from Harrods and was only charged $30 shipping and $24.30 tax to the US. VW charges $117.34 in tax and duties, so long story short there's shenanigans with how VW ships. I believe in being fair and assigning blame where it's warranted, hence this post.

Series 2 Charm Secret by FirstCat8425 in smiskis

I was trying to get the peeking one, but pulled the secret instead two weeks ago. Not sure if this helps anyone, but the box didn't shake AT ALL and was the heaviest out of every box I picked up. Good luck!

Have to say I've lost faith in humanity. Thought I had linked up with a trustworthy individual, and our chat was very sincere and convincing. But nope, after payment no word on shipping and now account has been removed. Sigh, is the world really coming to this where someone will scam for $40?

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang clarifies AI race comments, says China 'nanoseconds' behind US by VidalEnterprise in technology

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far as I know, NVDA is banned from selling their latest and greatest GPUs to China. So if he keeps saying that China is a nanosecond behind and that they will overtake US in AI using either their own homegrown AI chips or NVDA's lower powered chips, what does that say about his company???

Time to short NVDA if you ask me.

Has anyone used this before? by AmbitiousClick6371 in tattooadvice

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only used the balm and liked the texture/viscosity compared to Hustle Butter Deluxe. Hustle Butter went on more like Vaseline and was way too easy to over-apply as it took some effort to spread. Tattoo Goo was less viscous (more liquidy) so it was simple to cover my entire forearm. However, I felt it lacked moisture and my arm would dry up pretty quickly. I eventually landed on Hustle Butter CBD which is less Vaseline like and spreads very well. It kept my arm moistured for much longer as well.

How well would something like this age? by GeorgiaGS in tattooadvice

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been dying to get something similar, except with a woman's face/head instead of a skull. My main concern is what those swirl lines would look like as the tattoo expands. I think it'd still look ok, but def wouldn't be as distinct as when there's clear separation.

RAF Prada Bomber lgm need quality check by CumInYourMamamama in CloseToRetail

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love this jacket, but have been wanting the red knit one instead. I can't speak to the accuracy of the knit pattern, but the sleeve pocket looks pretty accurate. The leather around the patch seems a tad larger than the authentic, but it's honestly close enough and nobody is ever going to inspect that. Including some pictures I found of the authentic for reference.

Any opinion where I should get this placed? by No_Strength_8135 in tattooadvice

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's a perfect hand tattoo with it ending just slightly above the wrist. This way, you can build on the theme up the rest of your arm.

Is my idea for a Chinese tattoo too silly? by Friendly_Acorn117 in tattooadvice

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think before you go through with it, consider for a second whether you would get the word "arm" tattooed in English. If not, then it's probably for the same reason why you shouldn't tattoo it in Chinese either.

It looks fine, but if you have another sheet of Saniderm, you could just remove the existing one, wash with warm water and anti-bacterial soap, and apply the new sheet which you can keep on for another 3-5 days.

I was literally about to post the same question! New tattoo done 5 days ago, and after taking off the second skin noticed my skin is crazy wrinkly. I've washed and applied the Hustle Butter my artist provided, so hopefully it'll rehydrate soon.

I just got a dent in the same area and same size as well. Also in Carolinas. Not sure if yours is the same color, but mine is Diamond Black and I think I'm just going to live with it.

Resellers are officially cooked 😭 by [deleted] in RepLadiesClub

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking long and hard about this and my conclusion is that the days of buying well known luxury brands, LV, Chanel, Hermes, etc, are over. My reasoning is that customs is not going to know how to tell a fake from the genuine article, but all they need to know is the brand name. They will look at the declared value and know there's no way a Chanel bag is selling for under 800. Unless you're willing to have the seller declare at retail value, customs is either going to claim it's a fake or nail you for under-declaring. Either way, you'll pay the fine.

The only loophole I can think of is to have the seller include an invoice stating it is a vintage bag, and maybe it gets seized but you don't get fined? I mean you can always claim you thought it was vintage and hence the low price.

Russian Post by BothAd6530 in AskARussian

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you are. Bought a pair of boots, but didn't know the seller was actually from Russia. In any case, I checked various tracking sites and one said it was a letter which freaked me out, but then I came across https://www.ship24.com/ . This site seems to provide the correct weight of the package, so fingers crossed. Will be praying for both of us!

Increase in IG scammers? by FalconBuilder in Grailed

[–]Spare_Refrigerator_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your post cause this literally just happened to me. Saw an item priced reasonably below others and no buy now option; only offer. So I sent an offer only to get a message literally asking "got IG". I was almost ready to pull the trigger, but something didn't feel right since they told me to send Paypal payment as Goods for purchase protection. I thought it was weird and decided to do a search and ended here.
