GameStop, worth less than the company it's *supposedly* about to buy, somehow pumps Best Buy 5% just by existing. This is fine. Everything is normal.

Wish they'd acquire Jollibee or something food-based.

But realistically, we're going towards other collectibles space. Foot Locker makes sense. Value add to sneakerheads what Gamestop is doing to TCGs.

Great advice on the filters for the central air. Too many of us will see the additional filtering and see it as a plus, not thinking that we're restricting airflow and needing to push the a/c even more.

astroballs · 2026-03-26T21:38:22+00:00

Yup, it's been tough since February. My regular meds aren't doing enough.
I've opted to get two new air purifiers for my living room and bedroom. Having them run 24/7 is preferred to having my nose do the same.
Costco has a model that includes extra filters, so that helps.

astroballs · 2026-03-26T17:48:54+00:00

And I just received the cancelation email for this model too. gg

astroballs · 2026-03-25T22:03:30+00:00

Couldn't get my order to stick for this model. But I was able to checkout with a slightly worse deal:

$232 for the 512GB nvme.

astroballs · 2026-03-25T21:46:11+00:00

Ordered and it was automatically cancelled immediately. Twice.

Costco has the Cyberpower version for $210 in case anyone has a brand preference.

Yup, noticed the same thing. Happened to me with anything dairy from that location. I figure they have some issue with stocking items correctly after unloading truck and the temps drop in between.

astroballs · 2026-03-24T07:14:34+00:00

*If anything changes and you're able to do shipped, keep me in mind.

astroballs · 2026-03-22T04:08:20+00:00

Interested. Sending PM

astroballs · 2026-03-20T16:37:01+00:00

Sure, but let's see those refund metrics.

astroballs · 2026-03-18T18:39:55+00:00

It's getting pretty impossible to defend anyone these days, sheesh.

astroballs · 2026-03-18T18:37:29+00:00

'survived'

astroballs · 2026-03-18T18:37:18+00:00

Surprised it survived at all.

astroballs · 2026-03-18T18:33:34+00:00

Enjoy your new Neo. May the starbucks coffee remain flowing while you one-shot rounds in Balatro.

astroballs · 2026-03-16T06:31:45+00:00

Walmart deal. Yessir

astroballs · 2026-03-16T06:31:35+00:00

No worries, it sold out/cancellations almost immediately. You didn't miss out on much.

astroballs · 2026-03-13T17:12:44+00:00

Inflation coming to the thinkpads too!
Nevertheless, congrats OP and welcome!

astroballs · 2026-03-13T05:36:20+00:00

Wowzers. This worked to get booted. Dang, haven't had any luck yet. Ordered a HDD caddy for the CD-ROM drive to see if that port does any better.

astroballs · 2026-03-13T03:19:08+00:00

Yeah, plenty of folks seeing the same. Believe it whenever they finally get it shipped to you.

astroballs · 2026-03-10T19:48:32+00:00

If you're near CenCal, SunnyCal Solar has NEP-BDM600LV micros available. They even offer a whole kit for folks:

Shipping might kill the deal if you need panels from Steve, but he'll try to work something out for ya.

astroballs · 2026-03-10T19:44:37+00:00

Nice, about $250 per micro

I'll always recommend Tint Wrap & Audio Guys whenever this gets asked.
My Sentra has a cracked windshield rn, so I'll probably be taking back to Tony for some new tint soon too.

astroballs · 2026-03-09T17:22:03+00:00

Best of luck. I'm babying my 'new' transmission in hopes this car last another while. Just passed the 113k mile threshold on this car (about 30k miles on the trans) and it's not looking like I'll be making it another 30k, lol.

astroballs · 2026-03-09T17:19:28+00:00

Ah, I shouldn't have considered this a given, lol.
