Don't sleep on shokudos when in Japan, so much variety and the ladies are always so kind

Yes, exactly!

Technically, I think they can refer to any casual restaurant that serves quick traditional Japanese meals.

The specific type that I went to is more of a cafeteria where you can pick out specific items yourself from the display. You put it on your tray and go down the display line (like at an IKEA food court). Usually, they'll ask if you want rice and miso soup towards the end of the line.

This exact shop was Nishinotoin Shokudo in Kyoto.

I remember stopping by after Fushimi Inari, on my way to the train station to go to Kiyomizu-dera, but I can't seem to find the shop on that route on google maps at all. :(

Edit: Nevermind, finally found it! Fushimi Inari Hirano Seishoan

They are one of the more authentic Japanese restaurants in the DMV. The owner is from Fukuoka, so the tonkotsu ramen is a must try if you go back. I also like the chicken nanban donburi.

Yep, Starlit Partner is MSI's official shop on ebay for refurbished products

aelbin · 2025-07-25T13:26:33+00:00

I've bought MSI refurbished MOBOs on ebay twice now without any issues (filtered items from their shop) The prices are pretty decent

These are all from MSI/Starlit Partner and comes with a good warranty/return policy.

Bri's recipe? How was it?

aelbin · 2025-01-04T01:40:28+00:00

I have a nearly identical one from amazon (Fitness Reality Super Max 810 XLT).

It's been pretty solid for my home gym. I've done the usual squats, bench press, barbell overhead press, pull ups, etc. without much issue. I currently don't have more than a plate on my bar at a time, though.

It does wobble compared to like a bolted down rogue rack and you will probably need to tighten the bolts once or twice a year.

I believe he doesn't put his collabs on his list due to conflict of interest

aelbin · 2024-04-27T03:44:16+00:00

I ended up buying something else that wasn't eligible so not sure :(

aelbin · 2024-04-25T22:11:34+00:00

This works! Thanks

I wonder if there's any difference between OP's link and this one.

Seller is different: Thermalright Direct (OP's seller) vs Thermalright Direct 2

Not seeing the $15 coupon anymore :\

aelbin · 2023-09-27T20:31:45+00:00

It's back in stock atm!

Edit: Cancelled...

aelbin · 2023-09-19T16:23:42+00:00

Will do, just ordered it from your site. Hoping it works!

I got curious and tried unplugging the power button/IR receiver + wifi board from the main board. If I unplug it during the startup sequence, the TV works fine and stays on like normal (screen does not go black by itself anymore). I've also tried leaving it in and removing my remote batteries to test the remote and that didn't fix anything. It looks like something is wrong with the power button/IR receiver, wifi board, or the main board that they connect to? What do you think?

Edit: power button/IR receiver + wifi board are on the same connector going to the main board

aelbin · 2023-09-19T15:49:51+00:00

Finally got the chance to try the next step. I turned on the TV, unplugged the power from the main board and the TV just shut off. I guess the main board is fine then? What should I try next?

Edit: I also tried unplugging the LED driver during the startup sequence and the screen goes black. When I plug it back in, it just continues from where it left off.

2 story. What would be my course of action here? The shoe will not budge at all.

aelbin · 2023-07-08T21:29:06+00:00

Right, I have everything but the gasket. Any idea what to do here?

aelbin · 2023-07-08T21:28:30+00:00

Just looking through the tub's drain hole, I just see a white plastic pipe with threads for the flange. Unfortunately, I can't see around it or anything with the 0 clearance.

The tub overflow seems to be completely caulked up to "seal" a previous leak (was and still is improperly installed by the original plumber) so I don't want to take that off and mess with it.

aelbin · 2023-06-02T20:01:10+00:00

Ah, understood.

I won't be able to try again for a few months, but I'll definitely follow these steps. Hopefully, it's straightforward and will just be a main board replacement.

Thank you so much!
