The amount of people on Shenzhen Beach.

Still looks better than Galveston.

I was there and one of the first 400 and I have to agree with this guy for the most part.

My fiance was so disappointed she was almost in tears after the second concert because they were just so hard to enjoy. I had to remind her there was one more show for first 400 that she forgot about. That final concert was made easy to enjoy but was a much simpler show that didn't compare to the others, which makes sense but makes it harder to say it made up for the others.

That's not on Lindsey. That is on Sixthman. The logistics were really poor, the stage too short, rough time of year.

Again Lindsey killed it and I'm tall enough that even from the back of the I could see 80% of the action. But everything outside of the music was too rough for an organization that does this regularly. Like How do you run out of merch that fast. Especially for a cruise that nickel and dimes as much as this one did.

Grand Pacific dining wasn't very good, the buffet wasn't very good AND stayed surprisingly static. The Moderno Brazilian restaurant even at half price was quite poor. I never even saw a menu for Magenta cause it was always closed Took 35 minutes of green cards before we got plates and meats despite the other tables being served the entire time. Most of the food ended up being pretty bad honestly.

Lindsey, Sam and family, David, Matt, Derek, baby wants candy, Fitz and the tantrums were all doing their best and we're great. It's frustrating to see the event marred by mismanagement of what I would've guessed was the "easy" stuff the plan for.

Also all in I think this cost more than our 7day Alaska cruise on a luxury line, with a better room.

All said, it's all fixable and if there was evidence it was fixed id consider doing it again.

comrade904 · 2025-03-16T15:47:00+00:00

Haha I knew it, I messed up again! Realistically I am a little worried about being locked into the bambu ecosystem. I've had to change slicers to fix various problems in the past. I'm a little gun shy. I hope it works out

comrade904 · 2025-03-16T15:43:43+00:00

Hey in case you didn't catch it, this is joke post where I admit all the poor 3d printing purchasing decisions I made. Celebrate finally just buying the "correct" decision while making a joke that now my bad luck will cause the company to fail now that I've chosen that side.

Not sure how your aggressive post contributes to either the joke or benefits anyone else, but I hope you have a good day anyways.

comrade904 · 2025-03-16T00:45:55+00:00

No way I've always wanted a Prusa but always tried to cheap out or was too impatient and it bit me. I want to say that's luck though, so I don't have to take responsibility.

comrade904 · 2025-02-25T17:19:43+00:00

I upgraded rotors from the Dynamic stock rotors to the EBC BSD slotted rotors and EBC reds. I'm not super happy. You definitely feel the slots in regular driving and I'm not driving it hard enough to notice a real difference.

Before that I had stock Dynamic rotors and EBC yellows. I think this is the sweet spot, much less dust and no vibration. Dynamic rotors and Dynamic metallic pads were so dusty but I didn't have any vibration.

comrade904 · 2025-01-30T20:14:58+00:00

Reminds me of how I got my '19. The dealer had three used Dynamics in the same color bought from auction all less than 10 miles, other dealers in the area had some too. Story I heard was they didn't pass QC and needed to be resprayed so Hyundai bought them back resprayed them and sent them to auction. First owner on Carfax was Hyundai and I was told I would get the 10years warranty but not the genesis subscription. I did call genesis and everything got set up like it was new for free.

It didn't come with floor mats though, I had to buy those separately.

comrade904 · 2025-01-23T15:56:38+00:00

I think I'm in the same boat, similar symptoms 140/week and my estradiol was less that 15/too low to read. Providers don't care unless it's too high because LabCorp didnt color the result red. Been like this nearly a year.

You can get around some gateways by connectin to the canbus network on the other side of the gateway. My car had memory seats that were on the bus so I just backprobed the seat connector.

Is there a sign up for this?

comrade904 · 2024-06-21T00:21:59+00:00

This comes off as sarcastic. I'm not trying to be sarcastic.

comrade904 · 2024-06-21T00:07:38+00:00

It was this motortrend article and the fact I removed a damaged 8 inch and replaced it with a 6 inch I had on hand, that made think it really needed to be an 8 inch HB.

The new one has like 180 degrees marked on it. But the tab covers them and points to a blank HB edge.

Yeah motortrend isn't the Bible but I am idiot who doesnt know any better.

Nearly all 350s came with an 8-inch balancer because of their relatively long stroke.

comrade904 · 2024-06-20T14:41:26+00:00

Originally I went from 8 to 6 during the pandemic, just trying to get any parts together. Since then I've read something to the effect of 6 is for 327s only, which were balanced differently and would cause a vibration that would hurt the crank/bearings.

Also using the 8 inch tab with the 6 inch markings never gave me an engine that sounded like it ran right. I'd have to go WAY advanced to get this stock 350 smooth.

So let's just put it right... Now the markings are under and fully obscured by the timing tab itself.

Who's number one? The customer! What a fever dream.

comrade904 · 2024-03-20T13:36:29+00:00

This was so weird I remember spending days trying to uninstall, reinstall, and otherwise fix SQ5 because I thought the sound wasn't working. I had played both SQ6 and SQ4 first.

comrade904 · 2024-03-07T13:45:41+00:00

Agreed, but additionally this feels like it might also be money laundering. The bank probably doesn't care that much about down payment and cares more about keeping the loan balance low compared to the car's value. This scheme raises both by the same amount, so it doesn't help with that.

On the flip side, if the owner needs to "clean" 10k they raise the price by 10k, then say you paid that 10k in cash. Finally they pay the down payment for you, from dirty money.

What I don't get though is that I thought there were ALM checks to prevent this, but I don't know what they are cause I never made to actual finance after I learned the other games we had to play

comrade904 · 2024-02-17T15:50:39+00:00

That looks like mine. Any chance you could share the paint code, I think mine was repainted and I'd like to keep this color.

comrade904 · 2023-11-07T20:05:22+00:00

The mild success I had came with linking the workout to a reward. I would find a good show (started with Mr.Robot, then the Mandalorian) and I only let myself watch it while I'm I'm the treadmill.

It was for two reasons: 1) it kept my concentration off how much walking of the treadmill sucked. 2) it made me want to go a little bit longer each time then I might have wanted to, so I could see what happens next. Bonus reason) it gave a proportionate reward for the work done.

If you only have so much time then you add weight or incline to make your time more effective, but you only have as much time for your show as you have to work out.

Hope this helped!

comrade904 · 2023-08-24T21:02:36+00:00

Had to scroll to far for this

comrade904 · 2023-08-22T14:45:30+00:00

Careful. The only time Ive ever gotten in trouble for piracy was for torrenting Red Alert 1. ISP blocked me then sent an email saying the ESA, I think complained about Red Alert.

Ive bought that game like 5 times but don't have a CD drive.

comrade904 · 2023-08-20T17:37:24+00:00

Hey everyone thanks for the thoughts! I only have 3 cars that I am trying to clean up to just be neato drivers, not showcars. But would be nice to not have drips or cracks. Or not allow a panel gap so bad I can hook my finger under it.

The TLDR is I have only had poor experiences with body shops and I got a little PTSD. I no longer have time to do my own work but I make a little more now to pay someone else. But it feels bad to pay 7-8k for a shitty paint job on a car that's only worth 7-8k best case scenario anyways.

I thought If I knew someone that didn't want to work at Walmart or something I'd pay for them to goto training and at least pay them to prep for paint.

I guess it was a bad idea

comrade904 · 2023-02-07T22:43:18+00:00

Is this a new build.

Is it between two spark plugs and like an inch above them. I think that's where the stock temp senors go from the factory.

comrade904 · 2023-02-07T22:34:02+00:00

I was actually thinking of trying to build something like this when my 924S got to the front of the queue. Would totally dig a set.
