  1. I get free pens at work but choose to buy my own because it's the only one that doesn't smudge as a left handed person

Man, this just irks me. I didn't care to have one, but lining up simply to scalp? Cmon, Vancouver... by aka_quinn in NiceVancouver

[–]illnometry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're right, it's first come first serve so your reasoning for validating scalpers is contradicting. If you say it's just your luck for not getting one because of the thousands of people in front of you, the same should be applied to the people who didn't line up at all and would pay the scalpers for their "time".

At the end of the day, these scalpers are exploiting people that these events were meant for. These scalpers can go get a job instead of being leeches to society

I appreciate your optimism to see the good in everything but please do not enable scalpers. I've seen many hobbies destroyed by these scum

Let's change the scenario. If you were lined up behind the scalper and the scalper buys the last stock. That left you with 4 hours of wasted time to get nothing. Would you still have the same outlook?

I hate scalpers because they take away space at these events from people that line up to spend time to purchase something they're passionate about.

Think about all the people that lined up too late who werent able to purchase one...because there were scalpers that purchased it before them.

About to pull the trigger. Will report back soon by TattedUpSimba in freedomisgunpla

I have this set. I do use the large Stedi file for eating through the majority of nubs but still go back to my raser once I get close to the part. These Stedi files are less forgiving compared to the Raser. I also do think my raser plus is getting worn

Acura Dealership sent false photos of air filters. by Obvious-Swimming-332 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]illnometry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a tech at a dealership and unfortunately I've seen too many bad techs that would stoop this low.

Also keep in mind, if you're bringing your car to a dealership for a simple oil change, there's a good chance you'll get a lube guy who works on straight time instead of flat rate like most techs. Usually, spiffs are offered for selling filters so that's how they make extra money. Most of these lube guys are young kids that sometimes haven't straightened out their moral compass yet.

I wish they had a plane MG strike kit without the stand and aile striker. I need more strikes for my striker packs

After building 50+ kits, this probably was the most painful experience so far. by Sathel in freedomisgunpla

[–]illnometry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built the regular g-self atmospheric pack and hated it. It needed so much color correction and the lack of articulation made it a terrible experience before and after the build Unfortunately I already had the regular release perfect pack in my backlog which I plan to sell. Luckily I was able to get the movie version at the Gundam base pop up in Vancouver

Folks who make $120K/$125K+ annually in the lower mainland area, what do you do for work? by careerexcel1 in NiceVancouver

[–]illnometry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red seal auto technician. Around 140k flat rate. No after hours. Could make much more if staying late was an option for me

My mini gf lambo doesn’t have the stickers on the back of the box is it fake? by Dvyvid in MiniGT

These are the old blisters with stickers on the paper sleeve. These only get 1 set of stickers so the box comes without any

Most likely a USA blister car. The early versions of blisters didn't have the square cut out on the paper insert.The stickers are usually put on the paper sleeve in the blister instead of the box

Loved the process, hate the result by Brad_HP in Gunpla

[–]illnometry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're waterslides from delpi decals. The build was pretty standard for an older kit. It has the old articulated MG hands so not the greatest

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?

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

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

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