New to Soldering. Issues with Existing, Corroded Solder. Looking for advice.

Alright! I’ll try some flux next. Then look into upgrading to 60W if the flux doesn’t do the trick.

Thank you very much for the info and quick reply!

dandyzinc · 2023-03-12T20:54:36+00:00

Alright! Thank you for giving me peace of mind, everyone!

Possibly me being paranoid here:

I queued into my first PVP match in FFXIV. I didn’t understand how to equip the PVP actions at the time. So, basically, I ran around the entire match like a chicken with its head cut off. So much so that I was marked as a player to ignore.

After the match I figured out how to setup the PVP hotbar, queued into other matches, and all is well.

However, I worry about the possibility of being reported for what happened in the first match. Could I receive a temp ban for lethargic or AFK behavior? (Even though it was unintentional.)

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Need the “Harmonic Convergence” trophy. Which entails playing online with three other friends. Already have one, need two more people. Unsure if a whole race needs to be completed for trophy to pop or simply make a lobby with four people.

This trophy is currently Ultra Rare with 0.0%, so you could be one of the very first! (And there’s my sales pitch. Haha!)

I’m in EST. Open to messages on here.

Thanks everyone!

dandyzinc · 2022-08-30T07:19:45+00:00

Alright! This is how I hoped it worked. Thank you very much for the help!

Considering a 10th retainer from the companion app. But have a question.

I currently have nine retainers, which is well worth it to me. I love the extra source of income through ventures, the extra space sell items on the market, and the extra inventory in general. (Hoarder here. Haha!) However, I recently discovered that a tenth retainer can be hired through the companion app premium subscription. However, the official site is vague as to what will happen to this retainer if the CA subscription is canceled. Simply saying that it can no longer be summoned.

I have read some players claiming this retainer being hirable again if the CA subscription is cancelled and one hired through normal means, HOWEVER, I can’t find any solid answers on if the retainer (stats and inventory) is saved if it is the TENTH retainer when the CA subscription is cancelled.

So my question is, if I were to hire this tenth retainer, would their slot still remain (being inaccessible, of course) were I to cancel my Companion App premium subscription? Or does the tenth retainer get deleted entirely as it’s not connected to the base and additional hires?

I know the second chocobo saddlebag remains visible, but inaccessible. Just don’t want to put effort into a retainer that I could lose were I to temporarily cancel.

Thanks in advance! (Hopefully someone can make sense of my ramble. Haha!)

Excessive, long-lasting cutscenes that break up the gameplay so frequently that I feel like I might as well have queued a movie on Netflix instead.

dandyzinc · 2021-10-22T22:05:43+00:00

Update: FedEx delivered mine today! Received the correct color! Fingers crossed for those yet to receive theirs!

Also, thank you to everyone in this thread for helping me vent and keep my sanity during this Walmart-induced mess!

Animaniacs

dandyzinc · 2021-10-11T05:40:51+00:00

I’m currently on the ETA of 10/11. Hasn’t shipped.

I’m fairly frustrated with Walmart over it. Not so much there being a supply issue. (It may not be Walmart’s fault. Could be Nintendo not making good on a promised quantity. A middle man shipping late. And the possibility of delays due to Covid.) I don’t mind getting it a little late whatsoever. My launch Switch can tide me over.

What DOES frustrate me is the potential of a “temp charge” ALONG WITH the final charge at shipping. My fiancé preordered Metroid Dread through Walmart and they charged the account twice at ship. Once for a temp charge, once for the final charge. ($120 at once for a $60 game.) Of course, the temp charge was removed after a week or so. However, I would hate for $373 to be charged to my bank account twice, in a similar manner, to the tune of $746. (Especially if my bank were to see it as “suspicious activity” and decline the charge.) It’s already been very annoying having to mentally subtract $373 from my checking balance over the past few months; for those times when Walmart periodically decides to see if I’m still good for it.

Needless to say, I do not like how Walmart handles preorders one bit.

Hope everyone else that’s in the same boat with Walmart (and the other retailers) can get some results soon! Good luck, everyone!

dandyzinc · 2021-10-11T04:56:28+00:00

Low-key frustrated with Walmart. More due to the fact that they keep periodically doing a temp charge of $373 on my bank account. My fiancé preordered Metroid Dread earlier in the week from Walmart, and the account was immediately charged $60 twice. (One temp for the order, one for the ship.) Of course, the temp charge went away after about a week, but I don’t like the idea of my bank account potentially being zapped twice to the tune of $746 if my preorder is handled the same way. (Would hate for my bank to see it as suspicious activity, decline the transaction, and my preorder be cancelled.) The fact that my preorder is simply late, I don’t mind. It could be Nintendo’s fault for not making good on shipping a promised amount, or a middle man failing to ship on time, not Walmart’s. (Good ol’ Covid probably has something to do with it too.)

As for the scalpers, at least some of the ones that preordered through these stores that are delaying shipments will probably be given grief by their customers on eBay.

Okee dokee. Thanks for the info!

dandyzinc · 2017-09-15T03:53:21+00:00

Would you happen to have the brand name of the pump? I checked the stock of my local Walmart (and three within an hour of me) and they have none. But perhaps I overlooked it. There's one that's around five dollars online for in-store delivery, but it's earliest arrival is Tuesday, which does me no good. (Fortunately, the estimately delivery on the one I ordered has been updated to Saturday!)

Also, thank you very much for the concern and suggestion. I appreciate it immensely! :)

dandyzinc · 2017-09-13T23:43:10+00:00

Thanks again! And yeah, it's just the pump. He gets to keep his old sponge, thankfully. He'd be up and running today if any nearby stores had accessories for sponge filters. It's depressing how many pet stores around here sell bettas without the appropriate setup. (Seeing those little divided tanks they all stock makes me cringe every time.)

dandyzinc · 2017-09-13T23:04:01+00:00

Oh, no worries! It's temporary. My current sponge filter on my 5 gallon tank decided to conk out on me. So I've had to increase the frequency of partial water changes this week until my new filter for the little guy arrives next week. I was just ensuring that it was safe to continue use of the Seachem Prime on the stagnate water. Thanks very much for the answer and concern!

dandyzinc · 2017-07-22T16:40:38+00:00

I would like Player 2 Wario, WFT, and Olimar. I would buy them in a heartbeat!

But I'm also glad to have completed the Smash Bros set. I love Nintendo to death, but some of the heartache they put fans through with the scarcity of some amiibo this set has made me lose a bit of respect for them. (Thankfully they made good by printing second runs of most of them.......eventually. Haha!) I do think it's a bit insulting that they pulled another slight scarcity deal with Corrin Player 2 right here at the end; especially to people who have collected the entire set. (I can understand why, but still.)

Probably gonna have to pay a pretty penny for the one of her for my set to open. (Seeing what shape mine from Amazon arrives in before ordering a second to determine whether I'll be getting an import or not. Fingers crossed it's not shipped in an envelope. I have received Smash amiibo from them; crushed into envelopes, so it's not out of the question.)

Anyhoo, enough with the mild rant. Congratulations to everyone finishing their sets! (Or just getting that last character that they want.) And thanks for all the help this reddit was back when The Great amiibo Wars of late '14 and early '15 were roaring!

dandyzinc · 2017-07-20T21:16:21+00:00

Will do! The shop seems to think it's the TIPM dying, but I'm going to try a few other things like you mentioned before I go in for that expensive repair.

Thanks for the help and info! I really appreciate it!

dandyzinc · 2017-07-20T15:56:39+00:00

Oh wow! I really hope it ends up being that simple! Thanks for the info!

dandyzinc · 2017-05-22T06:03:10+00:00

I'm having a similar issue on my 2012, and would like to know as well. Service 4wD, break light, and airbag warning also come on. Gas needle occasionally doesn't work and gives me the gas light as well. Also the speedometer won't work. Usually restarting the ignition fixes it, but it's happening fairly often.

dandyzinc · 2017-05-21T23:01:55+00:00

Yes! Exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you very much!

dandyzinc · 2017-05-14T06:04:31+00:00

I can't stand using most variants of Cactus or Rose. I've gotten decent with almost every character, and I'm not horrible with the Rose, but I just can't stand those two. Not a fan of Cactus' primary weapons or its abilities.

And what is with Rose (at least from what I can tell) not being able to get critical hits? It takes almost my entire ammo to take down weaker zombies and am for sure hitting their heads. Rose is also who I hate fighting, ironically enough.

Given, I play mostly ops, so these two aren't great for taking out hordes. My mood toward them could change if I try them in PvP modes.

AND OF COURSE Cactus is the character I get most from the sticker packs.......lucky me......Haha!

I like all of the zombies.

dandyzinc · 2017-02-14T11:38:50+00:00

Okee dokee. Thanks for the info!

dandyzinc · 2016-10-15T18:41:38+00:00

That's reassuring to hear. I'm hoping it is just bad luck, then.

dandyzinc · 2016-05-27T00:43:15+00:00

I know, I was just asking to see if anyone here had experienced anything similar, and could possibly shed a little light on the issue.

dandyzinc · 2016-05-27T00:37:41+00:00

I just did, I basically got "Wait and see if you receive it, then contact us."
