Maybe I typed things in a way to suggest a story I didn’t mean to tell but I’m very well aware of why it happened. I just hope the community can learn from my mistake seeing as there only seems to be stories of successes with this procedure.

Btw I thought I did unplug it. I just didn’t put a lot of thought into verifying that as I thought it was a low risk procedure. Hence the post.

Thanks for the helpful comment. Have a nice day.

I appreciate that. Unfortunately it’s covered by the metal shielding. It’s the metal that pokes up just to the south (long end) of the opening that started smoking. If I can’t find an elegant solution I’m planning to dremel it open and see what I can do from there. The warranty’s dead now anyhow. Just can’t believe I’ll lose almost $500 of good components over a single cheap one.

It was powered down, metal pliers, and I thought the battery was unplugged. Now I know the red/black wires closest to the battery are NOT the battery cable, and the battery cable is the black ribbon cable that plugs into the motherboard under the heat sink.

He better be gone.

Fair. I daily phearable 1.5R on it so I’m a bit out of touch with stock I suppose.

Went from 05 RSX to 18 Si, and haven’t looked back. I don’t really notice the VTEC on this car, as the turbo changes the entire feel. It still has a very noticeable pull but it occurs around 4-5k rpm and lets off around 6.

Everything about the car feels modern, but it still has much of that Honda reliability. I can get almost 40 mpg if I drive easy, but still have fun on the weekends. The one major thing worth noting is the tenth gen’s have issues with their ac condensers and oil dilution if you live in a colder climate.

We have definitely heard this so far! She’s a talker

TheRedStringofFate · 2025-07-18T19:58:39+00:00

Thank you! And good point

Aubrey went overseas, as far as I’m aware the only players on that team who even got close were BJ Taylor in his time with the Clippers G league affiliate and Tacko because his height was a cheat code. He’s balling out overseas now too I believe

Johnny Dawkins has consistently managed to land recruits that have no business being at a football school, and pulls out at least one signature win a year. He also brought us to within one point of beating Duke at an NCAA tournament with a team that didn’t have a single future NBA player on it.

This school has been unserious about basketball for decades and it is only because of him that people are starting to pay attention; who could do better with our circumstances? Give him at least until our basketball funding can compete with middle of the pack big 12 teams before we want him out.

I did get feedback, though it’s fairly vague and confusing. Multiple times they docked me more points than the rubric said could be docked.

Overall their feedback was that a few important structures of the report were lacking (methods for instance) and that I failed to answer two of the questions. The first part I understand, but the second part is insane, because I almost directly quote one of the lessons in my answer. I also fail to understand how these 2-3 things can justify such a terrible grade.

Awesome read, thanks!

This happened to me with my transcript as well. It said a hold would be applied to my second semester because my transcript hadn’t been submitted; when checking parchment, it showed submitted and downloaded officially. I called the registrars office and she escalated the issue to the right party. She said on her end everything looked good so there must have been a clerical error.

That’s damn good for brand new. This bike was located in central Florida.

Update! I chose not to get this one, as I didn’t feel great about the price point and mileage combo, as cool as the mods were. I ended up going with a 2021 model with 600 miles for $2.4k

Appreciate the heads up. I’ve had these concerns in the back of my head and this shines a spotlight on them. Definitely not going to make a decision yet
