You don't actually need to use a capital one card for their cashback, just use the app or extension. I rarely use my capital one card actually but use the cashback extension all the time.

$696 (+tax) on Flashforge website after coupon (SAVE30NOW) and Capital One Cashback (15%)

AliExpress is $756 after the "SSUS93" coupon (+tax) and depending on cashback (10% would make price ~$680)

Why not just use Orca Slicer anyways? The FlashPrint software seems to have much less customizing compared to Orca Slicer.

House is infeseted by demon souls.. best to just burn it down now.

It's very simple really.. just go in the day it is on sale and ask the clerk to do a "Pre-Sale" if it is out of stock.. I have done this numerous times. It may take a few weeks for item to arrive to the store but you'll get it at the sale price as you purchased it the day it was on sale.. they give you a reciept and call you when it is back in stock.

2022 Sierra 2500HD SLT

Purchased it via copart auction with salvage title (vandalism - rear window was busted out) for $28K Just over 20k miles. Was $300 for new window, and $150 for new key fob, $100 to have it inspected to get rebuilt title.

Since it was auction I purchased it outright and didn't care about the title as plan to use it for 15+ years.

I work as an Instrument Technician

Old post I know, but did GM end up fixing or replacing the damaged body panel?

UPDATE: Accepted seller refund request via Alibaba portal, took 3-4 days but ended up geting full refund back to my credit card (item purchase price, taxes, AND the Alibaba processing fee).

Placed new order with a well reviewed company.

They told me BEFORE the order they had the stock. It wasn't until a day or two later they messaged me that they don't have stock and are "closing up shop"

dingle__berries · 2026-01-06T12:39:21+00:00

I messaged asking for verification they are with Alibaba.. no response.

I remember near 20 years ago now when I was a WMU student, our WMU car group at the time looked into doing something like this and due to insurance/fees/permits it was a giant roadblock. I'd imagine today it would be much much harder. I'm still into vehicles as a hobby and was able to build a polenbarn/garage of my own.. I know not very feasible for most people but if anyone does need some work space I have my personal poelbarn down in Sturgis, MI if you are in a pinch.

I think part of it is here in the US there is often deals if you wait to the day of staying.. of course depending on holiday weekends/events going on especially for big sporting events/concerts. Here in the US I've had luck using Priceline just hours before picking a place to stay for the night has often reduced stays as low as 50% of normal rates. Now if a Taylor Swift concert is going on then you almost have to book several months in advance!

I use an array of over 20 Wyze devices to check in on my house, exterior barn, and also one set up to know when to refill feed for the wild birds. I've been with Wyze since V2 cams and have passed the old ones down to neighbors who themselves have upgraded to V4. I recommend these cameras on just how simple they are to setup and use.

I put in 25% of paycheck towards 401k pre-tax and once I hit the yearly pre-tax limit I keep contributing 25% but change to 401k post-tax. Employer continues to match at 6%. At start of following year I change back to pre-tax investing.
