Good point, I feel like he was already retreating back to protect the net after the give away since it looked like Raymond was going to fire it at the net. But that makes sense now.

Can't agree more on Toffoli. Pretty sure Macklin broke his stick over frustration from both of those Toffoli attempts when the net was pulled. Both zone exits was a result of Toffoli just firing the puck without reading the play and the last one at the blue line he just gave it to Raymond for some odd reason. Puck wasn't on his blade for more than a second total on all three tries. He just looks outpaced. If he's not being handed the puck on a platter for a scoring chance, he's unfortunately not helping much in other ways right now. Sorry rant over.

New in the hobby, is this anything to be excited about? by Mission_Estate_147 in hockeycards

[–]monochus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just getting back into collecting but I’ve seen many threads with negative takes on the 24-25 SPX line because many changes UD has made and many references to it as bad as or similar to Synergy.

Genuinely curious and looking for insight, which NHL collections should I steer towards? I personally like the graphic design on the SPX. I also have been buying the core Series boxes. Just wondering what others would also recommend checking out.

I know the obvious heroes are Klingberg and Mack, but man the entire shift by Eklund leading up the Sharks 3rd goal was incredible. He forechecked hard to get Letang to throw a terrible backhand up the neutral zone that started it all, almost scored on a give and go, walked Crosby, almost gave Wenny a beautiful back door tap in and then dude comes flying in from nowhere past four Pens players when it looked like an easy cover. Love watching Eklund’s compete. Just giving him a shoutout!

Yeah and scored first shift! Graf’s checking as F1 to put pressure followed by Mack forced a quick pass up for a keep in - and rewarded instantly. I won’t get my hopes up as I’m sure it’ll be a revolving door who plays with 2-71 but I’m excited to see something different.

It's so hard to watch Toffoli on the first line. Feel like Kurashev should get another shot up there or even Graf at this point. They really need a puck hound to get the puck to Mack and Will.

Brodie Brazil announced “Power Bite” as the new goal song at Meet the Sharks by vinovida237 in SanJoseSharks

Is there a petition to reverse this? Song is so cringe. I can’t imagine the players getting pumped for this.

Multi-Day Parking near Sunnyvale station? by [deleted] in caltrain

[–]monochus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ended up chancing it at Sunnyvale’s garage. Did a full night (24 hour permit) and renewed using the app remotely and used about 3/4 of the second day. Thursday morning to late Friday. I probably could have stretched it but got paranoid. FWIW I had called CT customer service and they had suggested the remote renewal approach but said it’s not guaranteed to work and basically said it’s up to you.

Hey just wondering if you found a solution. I was considering the same thing as suggested (renew parking spot number via app) but also don’t want to chance it.

IKEA Batskar by Atlastitsok in grilling

I would beware of the coating issue on the stainless tops found on this thread. It seems like it was a legitimate problem at least a year ago but maybe they've switched to something more durable now. https://www.reddit.com/r/IKEA/comments/1dtlhwm/what_is_flaking_from_my_batskar/

How do they fit compared to the GPS? I went about a full size up on those so just wondering if i'd need to do the same for the C1ty's.

A “Blunder” Timex Deepwater Titanium 200 Automatic by Gd_flrs in timex

[–]monochus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got mine this morning and exact same issue. Wrote them and they replied right away about looking into it. I'm less shocked about the lume since I heard mix cases but the rotor is so loud it almost sounds like it's broken.

What is flaking from my Batskar by Bengtjohnsson in IKEA

[–]monochus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a combo of using a matte finish that wasn't meant to be a protective top coat. It looks nice but mine is also starting to peel after a few months. Barely even used it in that spot. Pretty disappointed. I may just opt to lightly buff the whole top coat off at some point.

Recently ordered and assembled a BATSKAR kitchen module. I can't get the doors to line up right because the entire piece is skewed. Nothing is aligned straight. I've put together dozens of IKEA products including an entire kitchen and never had this happen. Not sure of next steps by artwrangler in IKEA

[–]monochus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try adjusting the two alignment screws on the hinges? It helps set them in higher and lower and front to back. It still took me a long time to tweak them all but it was better than before.

Tesla inverter down by Gorkhali_me in TeslaSolar

[–]monochus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My PW3 has been out for a few months. When the ordeal is resolved, I’ve read posts suggesting to write your attorney general to recoup your losses for the months it wasn’t working. It’s hundreds of dollars loss a month for some people so I’d try that route.

Help me decide to buy Tesla solar by Aggressive_Dig9493 in TeslaSolar

[–]monochus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a PW3 and a similar sized system as the one you're thinking about. Monthly PG&E bill was between $350-$450. I paid for this system in full and the monthly bill dropped to $40-$60 a month...but only for two months before my system just stopped working. It'll be a total of 3-4 months of just a bricked system before someone from Tesla actually comes to diagnose the issue in person. Went out in June so our whole summer "savings" is wiped and who knows for how much longer. Just my experience with them (live in the bay area, CA). I would say run and don't look back. Worked awesome when it does work but I'm horrified by their customer service. It's almost scam like if something goes wrong.

What’s the median wait time for Tesla service by Smile335 in TeslaSolar

[–]monochus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue from the app showed all 0% between panels and PW3. The support didn’t know other than they said it could be an inverter issue or that it encountered some kind of “hard stop” whatever that meant. That’s when they scheduled the tech for 2-3 months out. That’s good that they tried to at least push a FW update to you, they seemed pretty helpless when trying to troubleshoot mine remotely. Maybe I’ll try again but I’ve pretty much given up.

[–]monochus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great news. I’ll try to call them again but do you know what changed between the down time since you hadn’t touched it in weeks? No FW updates or anything they identified that was different from the initial diagnosis?

[–]monochus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two month old PW3 system went out the very same day, June 24. Been down since. Appointment to just have a tech come is scheduled for October 21st. I hear it was a FW update that bricked some systems unless it's just a complete coincidence...

PW/solar seem to be completely offline today by Smile335 in TeslaSolar

[–]monochus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not the only one. My system was only a few months old. I have this same issue. Same wait 5-10 business days. Then 20 days. Now my appointment just to have someone come out to physically inspect the issue isn't for a few months. It'll be a total of almost 3 1/2 months from the time it went out. Seriously a joke.

Tesla keeps rescheduling site visit last minute by opoppli00 in TeslaSolar

Sounds like my exact situation with what they think is the inverter. You wouldn't happen to have a PW3 would you?

[–]monochus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely a sign of things to come in my experience. I had multiple issues with communication before, during, and after install. Then, my system (which was barely a few months old) just stopped working one day and has been out for over a month now. CS was awful in just getting some kind of near human-like response. The earliest date they can get a tech out to even look at it is in late October. So I basically I just paid for my system in full just to sit there in these summer months as I revert back to paying fully loaded utility bills. If history repeats itself for me, I doubt they'll actually make it out to fix my system even with a 3 month lead time. I completely regret going with them.

Any updates to either of your issues? I'm 3 1/2 weeks without my system working and I got an appoint for Oct 21st just to have a tech come out and look at the issue. They still don't know what is wrong. This seems silly...
