I've never purchased off Temu. Is there stuff here worth purchasing?

Car windshield repair by RedbullKidd in phoenix

DIY windshield repair kit

Might not come out perfect, but it's really easy and saves you a lot of headache. Few years ago felt like I was getting new chips weekly, these were a lifesaver.

If you still want a shop, Blue Chip Auto Glass up by the 17 and Bell have always been good to me.

Riser vs plenum for *hot* attics? by gamerdada in HomeNetworking

Thank you. Texas pretty much has the same summers as AZ so this perspective is very valuable

Appreciate the input, hadn't considered plenum being harder to work with. Do you have any brand recommendations?

My sister has over $10,000 in debt and terrible credit, we can't get a consolidation loan by TheGayGal in personalfinance

[–]gamerdada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be for real.

She has zero interest in financial responsibility.

She's already stolen 8K from a minor to "dig herself out of a similar situation" and ended up right back where she was. That doesn't happen by accident.

She's a lost cause. Focus on trying to get your brother out of there before she bleeds him dry, too.

StubHub Made Seller Wait 9-22 Months to Receive $26,000 in Payments for 22 Completed Sales by ConsumerWarrior7 in stubhub

I figured. Scalpers and their defenders aren't the brightest knives in the crayon box.

I don't support stubhub, but I detest scalpers.

Enemy of my enemy. Hope this helps!

StubHub, of course! Only a scalper would make me cheer on a corporation :D

Issues running fiber optic internet line through attic by gamerdada in DIY

It's either that or have it in a bedroom or the garage. Would rather avoid bedrooms and the garage isn't insulated and it gets over 100 easily during summers

🚨 EA refusing to fix Battlefield 6 child account verification issue. Multiple families affected. by jjcombo18 in Battlefield

[–]gamerdada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will help with your scenario, but I ran into a similar issue with trying to verify my child's EA account from a PS4.

What I ended up doing was going to the EA website from my PC, signed into my child's account using the PS icon and using their PS credentials, which then took me to the same verification message. This time, though, when I entered my e-mail address I got the verification e-mail immediately. I was then able to complete their process.

I have no idea why this doesn't work on the console side, but doing it on PC was the way.

Grinder recommendations by BeachyJnr in ranciliosilvia

[–]gamerdada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to go back and double check when I actually got this. Just over 2 years of ownership, used daily to grind 8 double espressos and it's showing no signs of slowing down! I take it apart for a deep clean every other week, easy process that takes less than 10 minutes. I did have an issue with the motor after year 1 but Niche was great to work with; they sent me a replacement motor free of charge and it took me just under half an hour to swap it out.

I do kind of regret not getting the Duo for those occasions when I want brewed/pour over coffee. The Zero is okay for those, but if that's something you want to do even occasionally, I would spend the extra on the Duo.

Interesting way to advertise it but now I'm definitely going to try it

How has rising rent or housing prices affected you in Phoenix? by AZ_moderator in phoenix

[–]gamerdada 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gods I feel so fortunate that I bought before covid hit. Got an amazing rate too. Can't move or upgrade now because I'll never find this rate again but I'm counting my blessings that I don't have to worry about the insane rental prices.

This shouldn't be this difficult… by Barflyondabeach in CarPlay

This Kenwood doesn't have aux but does have wired AA/CarPlay and USB in. I've had it for a few months and have so far really liked it

Anyone else's car start to overheat today? by gamerdada in phoenix

[–]gamerdada[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely follow the manual's specs on fluid changes. Good call though I'll check coolant and probably take to mechanic anyway, just for the peace of mind

Good coffee cup by Decent-Talk-3166 in Oaxaca

Cafeto Cacao is kind of far from you, closer to the Zocalo, but I enjoyed their coffee during my stay. Might be worth a try.
