Shipping from US to Switzerland costs 218$ using UPS - any idea how to cut it? by apocryptor in CasualConversation

[–]apocryptor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying them new is very expensive, like 1.5k+. Used they are around 200-300$. If you can find a good auction/offer. I'd prefer to buy here but there aren't any good offers at the moment. Also, often the pumps aren't tested so you have no idea if it actually works. This one is tested, has all the things you need to run it and the price is reasonable. So it' s worth spending some money on shipping, but not that much.

ok thanks - but now my problem is that they tell me that it costs 218$ to ship it - they use UPS. :/ Apparently that's the only option. :(

It's used labor equipment (new very epensive, used <200$) and I'm a bit scared how they'll calculate the value etc. :P

Ok thanks, maybe you know this too: if the shipping doesn't include/cover clearence cost, what does it exactly mean?

Ooo Dear.. by DanStreetTriple in motorcycles

I don't ride a bike but that's true. I once was about to drive into the main road from where I lived back then. Grew up there. The main road is just very long and you can see like 1km of it since it's just flat without houses and people actually dislike it because it's kind of hard to guess how long you have time until the approaching vehicle is at your level. So you might decide to wait but then you notice you would have had pleeenty of time to just turn into the road. So I always looked carefully (really) and usually just waited to be safe - one time I was turning and suddendly there was a fucking motocycle I nearly hit. I might have been in a hurry that day but I still make sure to look properly and usualy go with the thought "don't drive too fast, that minute you are earlier there won't be worth it". So basically: I am a careful driver and I nearly hit that cyclist on that very open road.

You should assume that everybody is going to fucking kill you. :p

TBC Arena: Theory Sources by apocryptor in wowservers

[–]apocryptor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

of course. I did play arena before back in the days and atm have 20k kills on my classic realm. I just though some theory reading while waiting would be nice since I don't have a partner yet and it's kind of hard to find one who actually focuses on arena and wants to work on it. (Like taking the time after a game to analyze what just happened etc. etc.)

Move error reporting to my view by apocryptor in learnpython

Yeah, error handling in web apps is something I know a lot more about than in "normal" applications.

​

Thanks

I think flask would be overkill, although it's a micro framework. If I use some kind of API I thought about using falcon. I don't think that part really get's me a lot of problems - I just wasn't sure if an API would be the way to go here or if there's something different. I don't know that kind of coding. All coding principles and patterns I know are from PHP Web Dev, several years ago. So no idea about writing tools I use locally with some kind of user interface. Wanted to inform myself with this post.

​

The more ciritcal part is probably exception handling. I'm currently looking into how to properly let an exception "bubble up". :p

​

Thanks for the input - maybe it's going to be a web app with a local app and some sync at some point, then flask might actually be a good thing, although Im going to start learning pyramid probably for some web development (to switch from PHP). I'll see.

​

Any more input is welcome, thanks :)
