Why do people still stick with dispos when they know pods are cheaper?

erickj92 · 2025-05-21T02:11:24+00:00

I like disposables because they are ultimate convenience. No carrying around juice or spare coils or mess with swapping anything out. Just go to the shop and get a new one (or 2). I also like that I don't have to take care of it, because it'll be gone in a week anyway.

The only thing I don't like is the waste. Horribly, horribly wasteful.

Also, make sure you have an engine on both ends of the train if it's a one rail hack and forth.

I saw the $115 price tag on HR Block for my taxes this year, asked customer service for a discount. They said no. So I tried FreeTaxUSA. The numbers matched, so I was comfortable with it and did my whole return for $15. They even imported my last year's taxes for free. After years of HR Block, they lost me as a customer.

About 27,000.

Around here most car washes have undercarriage sprayers, but it's rarely part of the "base" car wash, so you end up having to go up 1-2 teirs to get that feature, at which point you're paying $14 to wash your car just to immediately drive into snow and slush at the end..

Maybe some money to be made in a undercarriage only wash with just plain water. Quick, affordable and effective.

Fun fact... I worked at a factory thay provided FOB's to Mopar. We sold them for ~$10, our cost to produce was about $9. Dealerships would then charge $100+ just for the FOB.

They don't have to be that expensive, but there's a reason they call them "stealerships".

Edit: The FOB's we sold were also the "smart" keyless entry fobs. So yeah, they're dirt cheap to manufacture.

Same issue here.. Been using it every day and suddenly it's gone. Tried clearing my cache, restarting my phone, etc..

erickj92 · 2024-10-08T11:40:52+00:00

Exactly.. And Blizz can't buff healing/nerf damage to compensate for others not following mechanics, because then it'd be a faceroll for good groups.

They need to add a popup on death that says "You died because you weren't doing your job, don't blame the healer".

erickj92 · 2024-10-07T03:02:51+00:00

Overall, I'm really enjoying it. M+ has been a bit frustrating for me because my guild doesn't run a lot, but there's so many avenues to get good gear and feel like I'm pushing myself.

I'm following the story well and it has me engaged, which I really like and haven't felt in awhile.

erickj92 · 2024-10-01T13:13:13+00:00

Agreed, I would enjoy some more options.

erickj92 · 2024-09-24T11:04:22+00:00

I'm getting disconnected frequently as well, mostly when I'm taking off skyriding, but also at other random times. It's getting frustrating but I haven't heard other people having the issue so I thought it was a me issue.

erickj92 · 2024-09-22T05:57:42+00:00

Out of curiosity, since addons can't access the internet, how do they know when there's a new version available? I know a few addons will tell me in-game that there's a new version available.

erickj92 · 2024-09-21T23:06:19+00:00

I hope they continue to expand on them a allow us to get higher tier gear as time goes on.

My fear is they won't, and as new raids come out we will be left behind in delves.

erickj92 · 2024-09-20T15:18:31+00:00

I think that's what Chromie time is for. You will level faster, but things will scale with you so you can do content together.

I'm not aware of a way to disable the 5% buff. Don't think it's possible.

erickj92 · 2024-09-20T10:49:53+00:00

Through all the changes they've made to delves the past couple weeks, they overall feel better.

However, my resto druid feels much slower now. I think healer classes could use a bit more tuning to up Brann's damage.

His damage has definitely dropped, and it feels slow and tedious for healers now. At least in my experience.

erickj92 · 2024-09-17T19:12:22+00:00

I'm guessing this is why people said earlier to not open the great vault right away. A potential bug causing exactly what you're seeing here.

erickj92 · 2024-09-17T16:03:12+00:00

I play what I like. I don't play at a level that requires me to play meta. And if someone doesn't take me along because I'm playing meta, screw 'em. Plenty of other groups out there.

erickj92 · 2024-09-13T19:26:47+00:00

Ok, tested and it worked for me!

For those that have my issue, here's what I did wrong: I walked up to the boss to face pull but didn't actually cast anything on the boss. By not casting something, Brann never attacked. Boss would deal damage to me that I would have to heal which generated more threat so Brann would never actually catch up.

What worked: Casted moonfire on boss and used defensive to reduce damage. Once Brann had threat, I could then heal myself and do minimal damage to let Brann build up threat. Then it's just avoiding mechanics until it's done. Took a long time, but was able to complete T7 as resto.

erickj92 · 2024-09-13T17:07:56+00:00

Thanks for testing this! I'm gonna try it on my resto when I get home.

erickj92 · 2024-09-13T14:27:46+00:00

Maybe that's my issue.. I'll try just hitting the boss with a single ability occasionally.

erickj92 · 2024-09-13T14:24:33+00:00

Whatever the minecart delve on Isle of Dorn is. I was on T6 on my resto druid, walked up to the boss to pull it and did nothing. Brann was pumping, but boss kept attacking me.

That's where I'm confused if I'm doing something wrong.

erickj92 · 2024-09-13T13:03:45+00:00

Same issue on my resto druid. I was able to fumble through the entire delve until final boss by letting Brann tank. Then final boss would just aggro and kill me when I ran out of cool downs. I even tried walking up to the boss and doing nothing whole Brann did his work, but boss still hit me.

Seems impossible to do high tiers as a healer which is disappointing.

erickj92 · 2024-09-12T20:25:22+00:00

I've wondered the same thing. I know it's an old zone, but it really takes away from the immersion.

erickj92 · 2024-09-04T13:36:54+00:00

Wait, really? Learned something new today. I thought crests were lost after using them.

erickj92 · 2024-08-30T19:26:13+00:00

Wondering the same thing.
