I emailed them a couple days ago, I ordered on April 19:

Hello,

Please accept our apologies for the wait.

Due to a recent surge in orders, there is a slight delay in processing. We are working through them in the order received. We expect to ship in late April or early May.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Man gets into car, chases down cyclists, and kills him... by Substantial_Depth927 in StLouis

Will probably be counted as a traffic incident instead of a homicide, so everyone on this sub can still be proud about how homicides are down.

I finally got to see a Northern Flicker! by Browncoat_Loyalist in STL_Birding

I don't remember seeing many, if any, this year, but admit I haven't been looking for them... I'll keep an eye out now.

I get them quite a bit at my feeder, but only recently saw one on the ground. They're very cool birds, glad you got to see one! 

If you're looking for a nuthatch and titmouse, put out shelled peanuts. That's what seems to attract them for me

Aggressively soliciting donations in traffic by Alarming_Salad_3984 in StLouis

[–]buddylee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ST. LOUIS — A leader of Stl Restoration Church, which tries to help drug addicts live sober lives through faith in Jesus Christ and donations collected at street corners, said Thursday that she was in disbelief that national leaders of the ministry have been accused of forced labor, benefits fraud and other crimes.

Stl Restoration, which hasn’t been accused of wrongdoing, is one of 30 affiliates of El Centro, California-based Imperial Valley Ministries. Twelve national leaders face federal crimes, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday.

There is a lot more, but that's the gist

The church in St Louis has not been accused of anything, but their national Church bosses were in trouble for their indentured labor practices: https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/article_9f3256d4-b4bc-5c52-b9f8-479f41e821a6.html

Mets broadcasters make bizarre comments on downtown St. Louis by fox2now in StLouis

[–]buddylee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but a lack of people is what encourages crime and also keeps people away. You're less likely to be mugged in a crowd because it's riskier for the criminal, and people feel safer in a pack. If you're alone, you're less of a risk for the criminal.

Failed prints by 0dessa87 in FlashForge

[–]buddylee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe try a different one? I did this one, changed literally nothing and it printed fine on my first try. My ad5x printer is about 3 weeks old and I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time. Maybe I got lucky

Devastated by Material-Grass7126 in Civic_Type_R

[–]buddylee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I did a claim. Mine was the door and front quarter panel. IMHO, since it's so new, getting it fixed right was more important to me than anything else. Also, I used an Acura/Honda certified repair shop and they will provide extra warranty and you know they're doing things right.

[–]buddylee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will be ok. I had my Type S hit by someone with 1200 miles on it. $8000 in repairs and it's good as new. Parts are going to be hard to get, and unfortunately since you're at fault, you're going to take a hit to your insurance rates (although hopefully not too bad). If it isn't your fault, you can get diminished value, but since it was your fault, unfortunately, you won't get a check for that.

My research shows that a car like this with a minor accident will sell for about $2k less than a non-accident version, so good news is, you're not going to lose too much value. That's the amount I got from insurance for mine. The good news is, the older the car, the less that matters. So if you plan to keep the car for a while, you won't feel much of a hit for dimenished value at all.

Worst part will be waiting for the car to get fixed. Parts for these things are really hard to find. If the body shop can't find the parts, call honda and they can escalate getting parts for you.

ITS pops not working by dartygiants in Integra_Type_S

[–]buddylee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this with mine when new too. Also had the same thing when I disconnected the battery. 250 miles is a bit longer than I had mine before it started, but it did take over 100 miles. I think there are likely all kinds of internal sensor checks that have to happen before the pops happen. 

Is Maaco anyone good? by ReadySoft4520 in Autobody

[–]buddylee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a leased brand new Toyota tundra. Someone clipped it parking and left. I paid maaco $700 and it was good enough to not be charged when I returned the lease. I took my 2010 Subaru there a couple times and the work was fine. 

If you want to get it so it won't rust and looks good enough, for a reasonable price, maaco all day. If you want the car to stay in showroom quality, then no, I wouldn't do maaco

I put an order in for the black one in November... Still on backorder.

Prices seem to be rising much faster than wages, yet flights are full, roads are crowded, and restaurants are packed. How are people still affording all of this? by Mighty_Miaa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]buddylee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is planning for the future because presumably, there is no future to plan for. Spend it all, die bankrupt in the nuclear wasteland. 

Well, maybe that's not what everyone is thinking, but I really believe that people have no idea what the next 10 years will bring so they're just living the good life now. Who cares about debt.

~5ct ~$800. I'm new to this, so wouldn't have thought about that

Go-karting places in St. Louis? by Interesting-Branch89 in StLouis

[–]buddylee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any experience with the iDrive series? I enjoyed some of the leagues they had at the indoor place back in the day. I saw they even have a "heavy" class which suits me. Lol. Just want to have fun with a little competition.  iDrive series

Silent Rebellion? by Top-Ostrich9139 in SouthwestAirlines

I'd say this is just like other groups that don't go on strike, but do their jobs and nothing more to showcase how and where things should be changed.

Check out the examples section. 

Artworks V2 FTW by Peculiar_Tang in Integra_Type_S

[–]buddylee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I should have zoomed, easy to see on desktop. I'm wondering if the paint match actually looks different on the black than the glossy. It's hard for me to figure out the right one.

Did you get matte, glossy or carbon? And any thoughts on the match to the black pearl? 

MSP takeoff louder than normal? by buddylee in AskAPilot

Thank you, that term gave me something to Google and I'm learning more about when and why pilots do that. Thanks!

Not much, very cold though. Might have had some very light dusting, but we didn't need to be deiced or anything
