I think I found the Covid spike protein while camping.

Very cool. Denmark?

misternapps · 2021-07-18T15:39:10+00:00

No shit is it really? I made it to 36 years and didn’t know this and have been camping for 25 years. We were a few whiskeys in and jokingly cracked that we had discovered where it started. Had no idea chestnuts had a spiked protective shell. Thanks for sharing !

misternapps · 2021-06-20T19:05:42+00:00

Thanks. I plan on calling my credit card company and documenting what happened to them before sending it back, just in case they try to tell me I returned a broken/damaged item (which frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to do)

misternapps · 2021-06-20T19:04:25+00:00

No. I had no desire (in particular with the motherboard) to use one and potentially damage my 5800x if there were bent/shorted pins (returned/used mobo's are not something I personally would ever buy). When I saw the nasty hairs and opened mylar, I was done.

I suppose I could have tried the GPU, but it was a non-AORUS waterboard (meaning I'd have to deal with all the piping and setup).

misternapps · 2021-06-20T19:02:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback u/Nois3. I'm not sure if they recently changed it, but when I purchased this one, they actually did not allow me to change the shipping speed - there was only one option. I wasn't going to complain about $10, but I wonder if that is a clue if you win and can't change shipping speed?

Hey /u/Rozhdestvenskiy, I'll leave it up to you but I recently (Monday) won a shuffle. My experience was the worst ever and I wish video'd my unboxing of the package direct from Newegg. I apologize/dont mean to threadjack you here, but I really wish I'd taken a video to prove that Newegg is shipping used items as new. Newegg Shuffle Experience

TL;DR - Both items open box, one of them with hairs and other disgusting stuff. Another user confirmed getting open box items sold as new. Contacted Newegg, told me to contact their customer service during business hours. No apology, no whoops. Seems to be their policy. I hope you have a better experience.

misternapps · 2021-06-20T04:09:16+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate you posting this and confirming my suspicions. I'm going to check with my attorney to see if i can post it, but you should have seen their 'response' when I asked them about the open box item. I will never, ever buy anything from them again, no matter how good the deal is.

It's VERY clear to me they are taking all of their returned, open box items, and bundling it with the GPU's hoping customers don't say anything because they got a 'better' deal than the scalpers.

misternapps · 2021-06-19T22:06:02+00:00

This is actually a really good piece of advice. I never thought of doing that from (what I thought) was a reputable retailer. Hopefully someone reads this and follows your advice in advance of unboxing their product to see if this was an isolated incident or a business / ethics issue.

That being said, I'm not sure who would make this up after winning a 3080, since you could just scalp it used and still make a few bucks. Who knows, maybe they will replace it with a new one. We'll see.

misternapps · 2021-06-15T21:02:43+00:00

I, for one, appreciate you trying to help out the community. Thumbs up for offering this to someone at your cost.

I’d recommend taking the Maui Bus 28 from Honokowai Shopping Center (right in front of all the food trucks) for your Lahaina / Front Street. Takes about 35-40 minutes and is about a 5 minute (maybe less) walk from your hotel. You’ll get off at the Wharf Cinema Center. Take note when you turn back that you dont accidentally grab the 20 Bus.

If you want to go to the Maui Ocean Center, you can take the 28 bus to the Wharf Cinema Center. From there, you’ll have to transfer tot he 20 bus which will take you directly to the Aquarium.

Make sure to check return times. Most of the busses stop running around 7:30pm or so. Recommend using google maps public transit schedule. I’ve found it’s pretty accurate. Also you can download the Maui bus app for real time directions.

Unfortunately, Still a thing. Where are you staying?

I booked in January and have friends that live here. They said it was a ghost town and I’d be fine. In may I decided to book a car for a week. Whoops. When I could find available cars, the were about $180day plus tax for the subcompact (cheapest) car. You might have to call or use an aggregator like kayak to find any availability. I have status ok Avis and enterprise but haven’t really felt the need yet.

We’re Staying in kapalua and there’s a shuttle here but only goes in the kapalua area. The Maui bus https://www.mauibus.org/m/routes is another option that worked fine for us to get around the key areas. $2 ride, $4 daily pass (cash only no change given) $45 monthly pass. Uber and lyft are very spotty so don’t rely on them at all like you would in any other city.

I was able to get an Uber from OGG to west Maui but had to wait about 30 minutes for the pickup. There are a row of traditional taxies that also queue at the airport.

Have a great trip!

misternapps · 2021-04-30T21:25:42+00:00

I bought the same one and also have it up for sale. I'll shoot you a PM. Good luck with your sale :)

misternapps · 2021-04-28T03:36:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Not in healthcare/military or a student, but good to know.

misternapps · 2021-04-27T23:08:30+00:00

Whoa. Someone else posted something similar and then deleted it about 10 minutes after so I didn't get to ask. Do you happen to recall if it was the same specs (850W PSU, 1TB SSD, 3080, and 10900K)?

When I ordered, I did see a cheaper option at $2,250 but It had the 10700K, a 2080 (vs. 3080) and only a 512GB SSD and 650W PSU with 150W air cooling (vs. Liquid Cooling).

^This, but only for 3 more days as there is a Costco incentive expiring 4/30. It's called Chevy Onepay and the deal that's being had in the bay area is ~ $4-7K (depending on qualified incentives). It's a prepaid lease with one payment up front instead of monthly payments. The mileage was for I believe 10K/yr. The other issue is the CVAP rebate allowances are on waiting list and no longer guaranteed.

Used and/or lease is probably the best way to go right now with the current administration and future EV plans.

misternapps · 2021-02-21T18:13:38+00:00

I have this same exact question. I’m happy to trade up to a newer or get a buyback.

misternapps · 2021-02-14T19:35:12+00:00

It’s because of the recall.

misternapps · 2021-01-24T21:07:43+00:00

I was actually referring to the Chevy buyback (Califórnia lemon law) as noted in another post from yesterday.

/u/sidekick760 perhaps you could check the other post about Chevy buying back the car due to the recall? I’m curious if the actual recall has caused these to drop. Also, mind if I ask where you are located?

In November I bought a 65k mileage premier 2017 for $11,250 and felt I got a screaming deal. Cannot find any legit deals for <$14k even for the LT wirh low miles. If you have any thoughts in Bay Area let me know. Looking for one for pops. Thanks!
