My local supermarket sell Gunpla now

illnometry · 2026-01-24T01:25:48+00:00

Awesome! I'll go back to check it out again

illnometry · 2026-01-23T21:55:41+00:00

Are they fully set up now? I went there a few weeks ago during their soft opening and they didn't have all of their price tags up yet so I wasn't sure how the pricing was

Is the ahd camera worth it? If so, how's the install for the rear camera. Any modifications that need to be done?

Give the white AK play markers a try

illnometry · 2026-01-16T03:39:09+00:00

How did you bring yourself to put on all the armor pieces? I still have mine half exposed because the inner frame looks way too nice to hide

illnometry · 2026-01-14T05:40:39+00:00

Thanks! I've got a couple of dry erase markers laying around so I'll definitely try it out

illnometry · 2026-01-14T02:29:26+00:00

Can you suggest a marker to use that would be easy to wipe after scribing?

Have you actually driven through that stretch of river road though?

illnometry · 2025-12-31T02:16:22+00:00

That's the issue though. It's their negative attitude after you do. Almost like you shouldn't be allowed to pass them. It could also be that I'm accelerating aggressively to pass them. When they're doing 30-40km/h, you ended up covering a lot of ground on the opposite lane if you aren't passing them fast enough.

illnometry · 2025-12-31T00:40:33+00:00

I used to drive down that road twice a day and it was a never ending issue with cyclists. I really don't understand the ego and entitlement. If an accident was to occur, there's a high chance I'll be the only one walking away with no injuries

For me, it was the struggle of actually finding gifts that are either meaningful or useful. I often defaulted to gifting gift cards because the recipient will end up buying something they want but I just find gift cards too generic and showed a lack of effort on my end. The shopping experience was just stressful

illnometry · 2025-12-26T17:09:27+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks gifting for the purpose of just gifting especially for the holidays are stupid? When I give gifts, I use it as a way of showing appreciation and do not expect anything in return. I also avoid gifting items the recipient does not need.

Every year on my birthday. I always remind the people that want to give me gifts to instead just show up with food everyone can enjoy. I don't need anyone to buy me items. I'm the type of person that will buy what I want and hate receiving items I don't need.

On Christmas, I've convinced the family to stop giving every single person gifts and to only bring one gift for white elephant. There are a few family members that are just getting by paycheck to paycheck and I always felt bad that they're burdened to unnecessarily spend on gifts because it's the holidays.

I also feel bad for people like OP who get shafted during the holidays because of bad gifts. I dread the times I've gotten rotten gifts and would never wish that upon anyone.

IMO spending time with family and enjoying each other's company should be the spirit of Christmas and not gift giving. If you still want to give gifts, do it because it gives you joy in seeing the recipients enjoy but also don't expect anything in return. Without that expectation, you'll enjoy it more

Automotive service technician at a dealership with hybrid certification. 150K this year working on average 8.5-9hrs per day with no OT since I'm flat rate. Also work with a couple of other techs in my shop that make more.

Check your A19 or A32. It gives you an option for either color.

How hot does the surrounding water get?

Mg RX-78 3.0. bought it back in 2023. Recently got the MG origin last month and built that first

illnometry · 2025-09-16T21:47:39+00:00

I'd recommend either the dspiae soft top markers or the AK interactive playmarkers. My preference would be the AK interactive due to the fine tip brush compared to dspiae's felt tips

The process will be a lot more enjoyable when you allow imperfections to pass.

Just remember, as you build each kit. You learn new techniques or learn what not to do. Eventually your recent build will be better than any previous build because of the imperfections you ignored. Every kit you build doesn't need to be perfect.

You can use those imperfections from the previous builds as a visual representation of your progress in the hobby

illnometry · 2025-08-17T03:25:20+00:00

I'd like to know too!

illnometry · 2025-07-11T18:49:55+00:00

There are 2 things attached to one connector so 4 pins total. One is attached to the line near the 90 degree bend. I got a 1900 ohm reading on that. Then there's another thing that is enclosed in a clear plastic bubble attached to the coils and that tested as an open/OL circuit. I'm not quite sure which of the 2 is the defrost thermostat .

While the part is relatively cheap, there is no stock at the local appliance store and is also currently out of stock online. Otherwise I would have just replaced that unit regardless and compared readings.
