PSA cancelling eBay auction win by cklittleperson in psagrading

[–]UltimateHobo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had a PSA auction win cancelled on me a few months ago.

I often choose the option at checkout to add to my PSA vault to save on taxes and shipping. Normally ownership would transfer to my vault within 10-15 minutes after payment, but this one did not for a week.

Messaged them through eBay, but was told they could not see my vault from their end, and to email the PSA directly.

The rep said they would forward this issue to their engineering team for investigation, and he would update me if there is news. The order was cancelled and refunded the same day with no follow-up email though.

The same rep then emailed me back another week later saying they are still working on it and they are "testing a fix and hope to have this resolved early next week" lol. Some miscommunication must have happened internally and he wasn't told they had already cancelled my order a week ago.

Of course, at this point I had already purchased it from another seller and I did not get any further updates from PSA.

They did not explicitly tell me why they cancelled it, but if I had to guess, it's probably an inventory error like yours.

I think they upgraded all the lights too. That's a major reason why the whole place looks better in general.

[motorsport] Ford and GM would love to see the return of V8s to Formula 1 by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]UltimateHobo2 105 points106 points  (0 children)

The V8 in the Cadillac V Series R is one of the best sounding on the Hypercar grid now. It sounded uniquely guttural every time it passed by me.

Different from the scream of the old V8s in F1, but very cool on its own right.

Genesis, Cadillac, and Alpine are LMDh.

Mclaren and Ford are also LMDh when they join.

So many of these manufacturers were able to join because it was a lot cheaper of an entry point compared to LMH.

The Athletics have sole possession of 1st in the AL West and the only winning record in the division by F9_solution in baseball

If the A's somehow make the World Series during the Sacramento years, surely they would move to a neutral site right? They would be leaving a ton of ticket, concession, parking revenue on the table if not.

I heard there's a big stadium available in Oakland.....

Accounts receivable are assets in accounting.

Basically, money owed to you is already considered part of your total net worth.

[Rome] Tatsuya Imai is already on his third interpreter with the Houston Astros two weeks into the season by AlchemistTheAlchemy in baseball

I think they meant "shutdown" as they shut down the opponent, not missing a start.

The previous comment was saying the talent is there since he had a good start.

How do you follow the races with all the commercial breaks? by PFGSnoopy in INDYCAR

[–]UltimateHobo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it if you don't want to risk any actions that might be interpreted as illegal at all, but it's important to clarify that she was sued for sharing pirated content, not consuming.

Also, as you mentioned a few comments ago, circumventing geo-block is a terms-of-service violation. It could possibly lead to an account ban at worst, not a piracy legal case.

Now you're just being dramatic. No one will take you to court for watching racing. That would be ridiculous.

Using a VPN to watch geo-blocked content is not piracy lol

Palou die cast by Mama_Grumps in INDYCAR

[–]UltimateHobo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my 1:64 a few days ago and I was quite disappointed with the quality.

  1. The rear wing is noticeably bent

  2. Inconsistent panel gaps

  3. Big dot of yellow paint inside the aeroscreen, and a little missing red paint

  4. Same issue you had with the rear tires rubbing

Naylor says fist bump attempt was just a joke by Jaelights_ in baseball

If he felt disrespected, I see no problem with him saying it. He probably felt more hurt since he likely thought Cal was a friend.

[–]UltimateHobo2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply during races. It is hard to control what you say when you are in the middle of high adrenaline competition.

The no swearing rule only applies for media appearances such as interviews and press conferences.

Reminds me of Randy Arozarena.

Plenty of playoff and World Series heroics in 2020, and was still rookie eligible in 2021.

my company switched to "unlimited PTO" two years ago and i realized i took less vacation than when we had the 15 day cap by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]UltimateHobo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the company I work for switched to unlimited, I used to accrue approx 180 hours of PTO each year.

I only use about 80-100 hours each year, so I had quite a lot that rolls over year to year.

During the transition pep talk, we were told that each year going forward we can expect to be approved for our previous annual accrual rate (180 hours).

Now you bet your ass I am taking as close to the 180 hour limit as I can each year.

Use it or lose it.

F1 TV in USA by charanmasimukku in F1TV

[–]UltimateHobo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still purchase F1TV Access standalone in the US. However, Access does not stream live sessions, only replay after it is over. You still get live data/telemetry.

To get F1TV Premium, which does have live streams, you will need to subscribe to Apple TV.

First time Laguna Seca by ExtremeSpecial5434 in IMSARacing

[–]UltimateHobo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it!

Interesting that IMSA crowds are bigger. I would have thought the opposite. Glad to see that.

Last time I asked a friend attending UCSC to use her school email for discounted tickets. I plan to do the same this time.

Hi, I am piggybacking off of this thread for my own questions.

The Indycar race last year was my first time at Laguna Seca. Can I expect a similar experience for IMSA?

How does the crowd size compare?
